Hope you enjoy today's video! Something a little bit different that I think is really important to talk about for Minecraft players! Did you find this helpful? Or anything else you do to stay motivated?

[@NUTCRACKER3000___]

This has let me get some inspiration to start a long term world! Thank you so much :)

[@ArunPlayss]

I mostly just get bored after I've made a starter base so ty ❤

[@heyhellyco]

Honestly this is a video that I believe many of us needed. Getting burned out or bored of the game happens often, so starting small, pacing yourself, not cutting corners, setting up future projects and goals to achieve, can genuinely improve one’s experience. I’ve recently been doing multiple smaller Minecraft projects, so I don’t find myself getting bored with the bigger ones. Thanks fwhip for the inspiration and the awesome builds, looking forward to the next project!

In an old world I had in 1.17, I for nine months I had made roads branch from each village on a starter map, start to upgrade each village and make them look better, did out huge mines and have a interconnected mining network from my castle toward each village and other castles in the future I build.

[@branchie8979]

My issue is that I'm just so uncreative, I simply don't have the brain to create ANYTHING like this world. 😢

[@anycoolgamer]

I feel you mate

[@fast-toast]

But you don't have to create this world. Your comparing yourself to someone who plays the game FOR A LIVING. Maby start small like a vilage inspired by one of the natural ones that you can find. Then think "what else should a vilage have" and just build it.

[@anycoolgamer]

@@fast-toast amen 🙏 thats what im doing now too slowly but surely

[@deadhelix]

this is why I have way more time in terraria and dont starve over mc (excluding the childhood golden age of opening the game getting nothing done and think i had the best day ever) because most of the content in minecraft is what you make not stuff that is there to acquire or conquer. Once you get iron armor you are 2 upgrades behind the strongest gear so you aren’t in much danger, and there isnt much putting you in danger anyway. I prefer terraria where there’s always more stronger items to get to take on the next boss in a linear progression. Dont Starve has the same horizontal progression minecraft has where the difference between the worst and best gear is not much, but theres so many things that you have to constantly manage to stay alive and the default mode being hardcore (1 life but some respawns can be found) makes it feel like a loop of learning and getting better.

[@harold963]

Think about what you need to build and how you can make it look good, like a wheat farm can have a storage barn and you can have a silo.

[@Kleph.]

Takeaways list: 1) Play in a way that makes you feel happy with what you've done--singleplayer vs multiplayer, hardcore vs peaceful, creative vs survival, keepInv on or not, it's all up to you. 2) Play slower; stop to enjoy things and don't let "progress" be the metric for having fun! 3) Start small and upgrade farms/builds. 4) World maps and dense building regions help you be aware of your own achievements and feel attached to them. This may require terraforming, but that's okay! You don't need to explore for the perfect biome, MAKE it. 5) Set larger goals that give you something to build toward, and break down the smaller things that will build towards it. (Each step becomes meaningful to your ultimate vision) 6) Use datapacks or mods if they reduce unpleasant grind or add aesthetics you enjoy. No right or wrong here. 7) Let your buildings tell a story and use imagination! 8) Do the mindless grind when you need relaxing and recharging, so that you're not bored by it. 9) Taking breaks from Minecraft make the game itself more enjoyable. Here's my own advice: a) If you have a vision but you don't know how to execute it, just do it badly. It is okay to tear down buildings because you have something better. It can hurt to "throw away" work BUT you haven't ever wasted your time because you learned something from it and that build still exists in your mind. This is also applicable to other projects, like writing or exercising. b) Do something intentionally ridiculous. Build pointless farms or builds and enjoy the silliness. Especially if you notice MC being less fun as you get older, it's possible that you are taking things too seriously and ruining your own fun. But kids can play with *anything* because they have fewer expectations for themselves. So remember just to *play*! GLHF and if you're wanting more advice leave a reply :)

[@WillSar]

i also want to add: if you wand to use in keep inventory, do it because ppl who say it's bad are dumb, we always play in keep inventory because it reduce the stress of the game so much and we enjoy it so much more than in simple survival

[@fWhip]

This all sounds pretty great! Definitely some good adds too :D

@@Colxy- Haha that stuff gets me too! Keep in mind that fWhip sees it even more than we do and probably doesn't feel excited about it or doesn't have a clear idea on what to do. You ever get told to do a chore you were going to do anyway, though? And then you're like "I was going to do it, but now I don't want to"? Telling fWhip to fill it might actually be demoralizing, so consider suggesting ideas that would inspire him! Unfortunately, he's also got pressures of making content that interests a large audience, so that might also affect what he prioritizes. But please be patient and suggest ideas and I'm sure he'll get to it when he can. ^_^

When I had a world in the version of Minecraft where Immersive Portals was still supported on Forge, I had a plan to make each portal be seamless as they connect from one dimension to another (like the basement of a cabin with a hole in the wall that leads to a warped forest) Admittedly I never played long enough to do that and now I play on versions that aren't supported, but the dream was there from the start

[@kazmiz01]

@@ZorillaMyrid181 It probably won't be as good looking, but I recall one YTuber building a miniature of the ecosystem he was going to in the overworld, behind the portal.

I think a lot of people needed to hear this ❤️ When it comes to minecraft, I play mainly single player (mainly because I can only play bedrock right now), and I do get stumped a lot of the time - But taking long periods of time away from minecraft genuinely gets me excited to dive back in again. I’m an avid reader and the worlds I read about inspire me to build what I’ve just read 😊 I find it also helps, me personally, to move away from my own projects and build alongside creators I genuinely enjoy, not only does this keep me entertained, I learn from the creators and how they would build also 😊 Keep up the good work Fwhip 😁

[@fWhip]

That sounds awesome! Reading is fun because your brain still has to piece the information together to create your own picture which could be totally different to someone else reading the same thing! :D

[@unboxing_legend7708]

ive personally tried to steer away overtime from books explaining each area in my minecraft world because then it breaks the imagination and people have to read 100 books to understand or get tired and leave before seeing all they want to see and stuff like that. i dont really see a use for them anymore then an artistic choice. until we end up getting the update with the bookshelves to put books in, i dont feel inlcined to use books to create stories and legends and stuff like that to store into some library either than to use it for decoration purposes. when i think of books i think of the hour long time on xbox it takes to type it out switch pages and only making a 11 page book in which uve given up on because ur character is starving dying, skipped multiple days, lost interest due to boredom or cause it feels like no progress is being made. despite saying this, i have only 1 reason at this current time now to make a book and to place it in a stand or something for people to read despite playing singleplayer and this is because i can use it to explain how i came up with the idea of the build that it is near or infront of and how to build it for others to use.

[@Saythra]

Something I did to help ease the pain of not having the patience to build certain large farms, was to make a custom villager that would sell what I need/want. Like I can't be asked to make an farm for prismarine. So I made a custom villager that sold all the blocks, in exchange for copper ingots. I have metric craploads of the stuff, not using it, and can turn it into something I use a lot.

[@fWhip]

that sounds like a really fun way to play the game! Gives a great excuse to build more villages too :D

[@decimatestudios7686]

How do you do this?

[@Saythra]

@@fWhip it does! My current survival world, said villager is "the last of his clan" lives on a little farm on the edge of a village as a bit of an outcast. Trades "precious stones" for copper. All around the farm there's small boulders of prisma everywhere. Was a different take to world building to ease a personal pain point in the game.

[@arcehiero4796]

@@Saythra so cool!

[@Boyhoody]

That's awesome! I've also been trying to play this way where I build villager houses uniquely (ie smithy, library, barn, brewing etc) and have villagers with the desired professions live in them. This way it would be almost like many mini trading halls while maintaining the village aesthetics😄

[@AgainItsMeEri]

Perfect timing, as I started my new world after deleting 5 worlds I spent 3 mins in because I got bored. I loaded up a random seed and immediately saw my vision - a swampy fishing spot that leads into a mountainous hobbit hole and a base at the harbour. The most important thing I did was to not rush, being in a situation where I was just building with stone tools and having a good time. Edit: I started a new world like a week after I made this comment lol Edit 2: I made another world after that like a week ago lol I need to watch this video again

[@C44st]

lol

[@maodebo3301]

These tips apply to any creative project btw like drawing, break down big ideas into smaller simple tasks, don't rush, find enjoyment in the repetitive grind, try something new everyonce in a while etc I cant play minecraft without an idea of what i want to do in that world I personally started a project to build a walled city that extends both upwards and downwards making different layers of the city, with waterways, railroads etc But I didn't immediately start planning the city, making the walls etc that would have made me burnout before even starting, instead I've started with my house, then the road connecting my house to my mine, slowly I will build houses and farms alongside the road and then branching outwards, and when I find a problem or obstacle it's an opportunity, need wood? maybe I can make a treefamr and disguise it as a building. need smelting a lot of stuff? let's make a blacksmith house etc etc

[@fWhip]

Sounds really similar to how I plan things out! Definitely my favorite way is to naturally expand the world and let my brain figure it out as I go. Especially for non-modern builds it seems like the more natural way to do it.

[@markschwegler1100]

Your last world tour vid inspired me to start my first long term world...personally I don't get board but I loose inspiration sometimes....then I just look to the Minecraft Gods...Fwip, Sausage, Gem, beans, Mumbo, Avo, Tango, Etho, pix...you and the others keep me entertained and inspired....can't wait to see how far you take it!!!

[@duckiequackers9122]

I definitely think adding a narrative to your world can help a lot with making it feel special. In my latest single player world ive been keeping a journal of events so the history of my world feels like a story, and also naming every cool echanted piece of gear like its a artifact in dwarf fortress to give them extra character

Thank ou! that was very insightful! i honestly think one of the best things to do is taking a break whenever you find yourself struggling to find anything to do. you come back with so much inspiration and renewed passion for the game which always leads to better better and a lot more fun!

[@gracebutcher6330]

you’ve inspired me a lot with the world i’m currently playing on! i’ve really been experimenting with building and getting a lot better at it, and i really like how every build you make has a whole story behind it, not just a reason you need to build it. it really does make the game more fun!!

[@zombiepush]

The issue with the multi player world shrinking to a single player is totally valid. It's how I started playing the game after learning the minimum basics only to find out that the world really only had 2 active players. It really knocked the wind from sails as all my eagerness was about other player involvement. I am now looking forward to going single player mode and will take your advice on board so that I don't just sit there like a bump on a log!

[@EG-cm5th]

Lol, I had a similar experience with a Minetest server, and I had to intentionally shift the way I was looking at my playing experience. I basically ended up making it more of a “let’s pretend we’re in a ghost town” type of mindset.

[@umbrify]

Honestly, one of the best ways I stay inspired in Minecraft is by watching creators I love! Seeing other people build cool things gives me so many ideas for what I could do in my own world, and sometimes, playing alongside a long video or stream to keep me company really helps! (Especially fWhip- thank you for being such a cool and inspiring creator. The amount of times I open up my game after streams, feeling inspired to create, is more than I can count )

[@ghosttiger38]

I have a modded world with my brother, and just being smaller (because of our origins using pekhui) made it so much easier to spend forever in the same amount of space that many players might only ever use for a starter base and then move on. We enjoyed it so much, in fact, that we kind of ignored the usual progression of the game and have only really done things when we need to. I intend to keep playing on that world for a long time.

[@NukaQueen]

Couldnt have found this at a better time! My current health problems have left me feeling down in the dumps and my game was starting to reflect that. This video (and binging your hardcore series for the second time) have definitely lifted my spirits and inspired me to play in a new light!

[@respectrealperson290]

Hiya Whip! I don't get bored either playing Minecraft. I take inspiration from almost anything around me like history, books, artwork, cultures, new tech, imagination, and from collaborations. I don't have to copy other people's builds even if they are inspiring. The challenge is my very own, and not just what everyone else does because it's popular. Great video of sharing your own thinking in playing Minecraft!!! Thank you!

[@riuphane]

For me an early goal of a massive project gives me something to work on and reasons for me to build everything else. I need farms to give me more renewable blocks. I need to do smaller projects to break up the work on the big project. I need to explore and expand to get new or more resources. And every once in a while, i see something that i just have to work on. But keeping a list of things i want to do or make gives me a never ending lost of ideas. Also playing with others. It gives you a drive to accomplish your goals, you can always help others with theirs, and make things that are more fun with friends

[@ony_p5680]

Genuinely such a good video (which is no surprise) but more than anything so much respect for gently giving ways to better your minecraft playing experience w/o going online to complain (if u browse community posts u already know why that’s so important to remember even more lately 💀) Will never get tired of the sandbox experience and how much power each player has to enhance (or nOt) their experience as well as tailor it to whatever goal they set!

Truly thank you fWhip. I was a avid animal crossing player before stumbling into MC myself. I noticed very similar parallels when it comes to creative games with endless options. Sometimes its just creative burn out and its okay to step away from it.

Something that helps me is to have two (very different) worlds going. For example, a world where I try to take things nice and slow, and then a multiplayer where I try and grind out the biggest whatever to flex. When I get bored of one, I hop to the other, when I get inspiration from one, I bring it into the other. I build in very different build styles, and focus on different things. Helps me alot.

[@watercolorandsarcasm]

Really loved this video. My kids got me into the game over the holidays last year. I'm definitely a builder, but I really love the early game of finding the perfect spot, getting the basics under control, etc...then I start a new world. I'm not sure I get bored so much as I have some new idea, and my brain always thinks a new world is the answer. (Or my kids join my world at some point, build something that throws off my plan and I'm like screw it, and move on.) I recently started a world that I really love so far, and I'm hoping to make it my first long-term world. I started a Realm for the kids to play in so they'll stop begging to join mine, ha! I just have to switch back and forth so I'm playing with them between working on my world (which has proven great for breaking up boring tasks).

[@GuardianOverlord]

I actually found a purpose in building in minecraft thanks to everyone in the empires server i used to be a PvP player but after I found your channel firstly the empires season 2 it was so cool that a small group of people can individually transform such big areas and make them look amazing. I’ve also been making my way down the list watching each channel separately from fhwip,smallishbeans, and mythical sausage so far and they’re all amazing. I also started experimenting with some modding mainly cosmetic like the mob animations and water animations but it’s been way more fun nonetheless so thank you to everyone in this group.

I listen to YT videos all day while I work. Sometimes a MC tuber will have a relaxing build video that’ll get me excited to do certain in-game projects. Also, going around one’s local town or city IRL can lead to discovering neat buildings or wild areas that may inspire. Yesterday I took a back road on my way to a destination and ended up in a small town I’d never heard of. They had a cute Main Street built around abandoned farm industry structures. These dilapidated old buildings had really cool architectural details newer buildings don’t have.

[@Un_Popular_Opinions]

I finally built my first real nice looking base area after years of playing. Now I'm done with the base and everything to do with it... But I still want to continue the world I was in. So I left the home base area and travelled to a different area 5k blocks away and started fresh. Also, I linked the two with nether portals so I could use my old supplies. Then I took a 4+month long break. Now I am back to wanting to continue it, but feel like I need to fully finish my Starfield runs.

I love using glass in my floors and recreating parts of the structures upside down for a mirrored effect. Lets me build without planning for a little bit on those days after work where you dont want to think too much.

[@shadoath13]

I love your dessert oasis build, and this advice is awesome! 😊

[@pastelpainting9585]

Thank you for making this video you have no idea how helpful and inspiring this was.

[@grumpynomad3551]

Good for you guys that build huge cities. I lived in a two story dirt house 15X15 until I beat the dragon. Haven’t played for years.

I have two mega builds going, well I started my second one because I wanted to build underground for once. It's not something I've really done so I thought it would be fun with the cave and cliffs update. I'm currently burnt out on both at the moment, but I've started doin bits of terraforming above ground. Decided to clean up the area and work towards building a dock, which will be attached to farm area. A few warehouses, farm house, a few ships maybe. So I'm slowly getting back into building again, I keep going from one project too the next, then go back again. Rinse and repeat, going on 5 years I think but I've had a lot of big breaks. Video was great, keep up the good work.

[@HydRoPePe]

I 100% agree with these facts but taking a break was essential for me and helped much as a builder

[@vannymsmaw]

I been feeling like always creating a new world everytime, this video genuily felt like a good way to solve this problem fr :D

[@tehsacredeggo-4519]

Thanks! I think this really does help. I like to think about my server as mostly just for me and my one really active friend, and other people pop on sometimes to play for fun. And I agree!! I’m quite sick of people complaining about Minecraft updates and stuff instead of just playing the dang game. Less fun for everyone, and Minecraft is SUPPOSED to be casual and fun at the end of the day, no matter how much you dedicate to the game. A labor of love, not a chore :) nice video!!

I've tried getting into minecraft again recently, and most of my worlds have ended once I made a house, farm, and gotten iron tools. Mostly because, there is not really much else to do, no story to explore. Recently, I've downloaded a modpack that makes minecraft alot more high fantasy. Dragons, Knight Armor, NPCs that actually do stuff, pre-generated castles, and even AI that you can upgrade to be like knights and stuff. This is the first world in months that I've spent more than a couple days on, and am going a two months strong. I've built farms, houses, recruited knights, started slowly expanding out, getting more resources, and I've been enjoying every second if it. Vanilla Minecraft is just that, Vanilla. But, you can always add your own toppings to make it you.

The way i keep motivtion is streaming my progress i might not be a big streamer but haveing one or two people that are watching me play and making sure i dont cheat really helps me to come back to a world and also takeing breaks is very inportent play for like an hour or an hour and a half so you dont feel like you have to do something but instead you feel like you want to do it.

your base earned a sub. will be watching ur series from ep 1

[@user-oi4zv4hx8u]

thanks fWhip this video helped a lot

[@spotlight2164]

I habe planned out my world for years. Yet never started. Bcs am playing modded 1.12.2 to avoid farms. Reason being i have a potatoe laptop. Now am geared out, but due to the difficulties of some mods like ancient warefare 2, it feels like I achieved anything. My world itself speaks out a story despite I haven't even built a house. Now I am overwhelming for hours now just having the thought of opening minecraft to start building that village. Thank you for the video. I know understand what I have to start with

[@BerialPhantom]

build randomizers keep me entertained rolling a 7 sided base shape with random colour palletes can get nutty

[@kektics3074]

I follow the mantra “long term = long roads” spacing things apart and project hopping keeps things fresh

[@scottguitar8168]

I like playing Revelations, part of the FTB collection because it has so many mods to keep us occupied. Sometimes it is the case that after playing in a world for months with all of these mods, the game becomes glitchy. Sometimes there is an excitement just to begin a new world. Sometimes we play in creative mode to speed things along, sometimes we play mixed and sometimes we do it all in survival mode. I often find myself enjoying survival mode the most, simply because it feels more satisfying to know you created everything from scratch and at a certain point feels like you are playing creative as you automate the processes for collecting and using materials. We have done the cities and towns with trains to get us around. I particularly like the technical mods such as Immersive Engineering, Big Reactors and Applied Energetics. Even though there is plenty to do, we still find ourselves taking breaks when we lose interest but eventually come back.

[@yeasirr]

i lovee the multiple village and biome idea, i play modded and when i get a better pc im totally trying that with biomes o plenty! i feel like that would be really awesome and long term

[@seanmcnally6658]

What keeps me interested is connecting villages and building on those villages to create a world that has a story. As time changes, I update designs. Ching functional for more aesthetic and add more lore.

[@LukeOriginal]

Thank you this video really helped me personally especially when I'm finally trying to create some entertaining videos about Minecraft in Brazil 😅

[@toddsutodd]

Thanks it’s really inspiring!

[@gh0st_g4ming]

Fwip, just so you know your my absolute favorite KZbinr ever right now ❤ thank you so much for this!

[@3DarkSnow3]

Loved the video. You gave me some ideas :D When I get stuck I watch some YT videos of other creators and their projects or timelapses. Keeps me motivated and at the same time gives me inspiration for my MC world.

[@Sladamthebabe]

I have started to build a sky island in legit survival but it’s still in the very early stages I’ve only had this world for like 7-8 months. Really loving the minecraft grind knowing I placed every single block, have a lake at y:100, different levels of the island

[@atlanticsquid]

been watching you for years fwhip you were big inspiration to my channel

[@Alan.2003]

For me if the villager update comes. I'll probably be slightly excited as then you get to move around your world more and you can decorate villages to represent the books you can find in that village. So example. Mending books you can build a big library in a village or small town or books for pickaxe you can have a mining village.

[@flower7747]

I do the multiple projects thing. I love writing but I have so many ideas and fluctuating motivation if I just had a few I'd probably like it significantly less. It really helps

[@LiterallyJustTheNumberSeven]

I'm gonna come back to this video every time I get bored of minecraft, I always appreciate these videos so much, especially when they're from my favorite content creators!! Thank you so much for this fWhip :)
