Very questionable

[@lakthederg]

Honestly the biggest problem with those hardcore worlds is the same issue with all social media: They only show you the good parts, the megabases, all that. Most of them play like how you do, taking their time and building cool stuff. Personally, I love progressing and learning new things, so modded Minecraft games with massive expanding networks of new stuff is good for me-but some people might just like the simpler things. Very good video, thank you for uploading :3

[@RePorpoised]

Yeah, basically all of youtube content suffered from the same curse as anything social on the internet. The need to present things as perfectly as possible. Either perfect quality of perfectly distracting drama. Whatever it is, it needs to be as devoid of flaws, like so many instagram posts try to be, or like twitter, be so full of flaws that *_someone_* feels the need to engage with it. There's a reason why so many appreciate Etho's playthough. It doesn't makes use of many of these tricks. Things end up incomplete incredibly often. And while his mastery of the game and creativity are amazing to see in action, he's still working through getting a project off its feet, figuring out what he wants for it.

[@JRexRegis]

Yeah, this is a big part of it. Like, a megabase needs... a LOT of work. Actual days of carving out terrain and painstakingly putting down block after block. I learned really early on that tiny spaces have their own magic and can be made to look beautiful as well - For example, I've refined a building style which banks entirely on cobblestone, bricks, stripped logs and their associated plank products - stuff that can be gotten in relatively modest quantities with stone tools. Something I'm still working on its building expandably, while remaining coherent.

[@lenzi5119]

[@chris_wizzudz]

Oh my god, I think this is exactly what I needed to hear. I've been trying my hardest to get back into Minecraft, but I just can't bring myself to do it because I keep looking for all these crazy seeds where I have all these build ideas and goals and things, and then I just get burnt out within a few hours and stop playing. I just need to sit back, relax, and play the game without worrying so much about finding the perfect spot, building a megabase, making a ton of autofarms, and all of that.

[@ElEliteRojo25]

And take your time, don't do what speedrunners do and rush the game, start off small, make a small starter home, gather materials and build yourself up. Make small goals and go out of your way to get items and features that aren't vital to the progression.

[@mclovin2408]

Yeah I always was against auto farms since the less you have to do in the game the more boring it becomes. I think my main problem specifically is that I spend all my time in my first session in a world searching for a place to build, when I FINALLY find it, I build the bare minimum store my stuff and leave, usually never to return. In my most recent world I’ve been playing it for about a week, I have the cave dweller mod with the night dweller mod, and I have atmospheric sounds along with tough as nails, my world is an endless snow biome where the nights are so dark you can’t see a half a block in front of you, this has rejuvenated my way of playing, since I’ve always been the type of player to build overly secure cozy bunker base.

[@KingOskar4]

Take you time... but also... why not combine it? Find a seed for a perfect landscape and... Explore! Remember this is Minecraft... you can build you base however "Late" you want, and whichever method you want... Small, big, pretty, ugly base, ANYthing is worth a shot 🥲

[@mclovin2408]

@@KingOskar4 my ideal way to play now is chip away at part of my base then go mining and explore, then come back and do the same thing again. I’ve also spiced it all up with both of the famous dweller mods, one of which I saw just walking down my hallway in my base so that’s always fun.

[@SnrubSource]

I think both Mojang and youtubers are at fault for this. KZbinrs keep pushing bigger and bigger stuff so people watch their dumb content, etc. During the "decline" era of Minecraft (1.8 - 1.11), Mojang started to introduce super flashy features without really taking balance into account, and those features massively sped up survival progression. Elytras, Mending, Elytra boosting, totems, super exploitable villager trades (1.14 but still).

[@MR.JUSTCOD]

Etho and hermitcraft are good examples of multiple people who love the beauty of minecraft

[@agastyabysani]

@@user-cg2nm5dw8b I agree with that but I will say that with Grian and jumbo it is not that bad. It is shown how long these projects take and how it takes them a very long time to make their mega bases. Grian even has a gag where he is too lazy to finish the back.

[@deadble5k]

I recently found the OG survival island map played by the Yogscast. In the last 5 days playing on that little nostalgia dense island, I've had more fun playing Minecraft than I have in the last 6 months combined. I think it's just because my ability to progress was limited, so I enjoyed more of, well, Minecraft for what it is. I've gotten to the point where I've done everything I wanted to on that map, but it's definitely opened my eyes to a new way (old way) to enjoy Minecraft.

[@FallisLife]

What I did was forget about “being brave” and looking cool. I played on peaceful mode because that’s what makes the game fun for me. I’m not a fighter, I’m an adventurer. I also forgot about making a cool starter base and did what I love which was digging and expanding a hole in a hill. I set a fairly achievable goal and built to the height limit (not super simple but I found it fun and less stressful than making a mega base). Now I have a cute spiral dirt tower that I can use later and it indicates my base! Not everything has to be cool, once you finish something simple or silly it will eventually become the cool thing about your world.

[@QUBIQUBED]

Thats a good idea, I'll just change difficulties when I wanna.

[@KirikkSiSq]

​@@QUBIQUBED yeah. Today was a session I really enjoyed, after some time. Before it I remembered a comment about recent lololoshka let's play saying "he's def only playing easy and peaceful mode". Then I was like "if he can, then I can too. Especially since he has dozens of thousands of hours and I only have below 300 hours and I never ever beaten Minecraft". I then simply turned on peaceful mode and went into the nether, and then peacefully mined for resources a few times. I liked this.

[@squishybrick]

I have some old videos I uploaded of back when I played minecraft alpha, and this all rings true. Back then, the fun I had was literally just progressing the game, because it was all new, but even after I completed everything, I never got bored, because just "playing the game" is the old secret technique for REALLY having fun with the game. Just walking around randomly, staring off at some geological formations, watching the sun, the sky, the animals.. And that's when it hits you.. That magic spark.. That moment when you're on top of a hill, you glance at a direction, and go "Hey, you know what? It would look really cool if I was taking in this view on the balcony of a house right here.." And then you roll with it.. You don't think about making the house big, or fancy, it's just the idea of that balcony, the house itself is almost considered an add-on.. You build the balcony, you build the house, you take in the view, you head back in the house, and then, "Hey, I should make a cool little path from here to where I mine from that cave.." In the middle of making said path, it might hit again. "Hey, that one hill would look really cool as a waterfall, maybe with a secret cave behind it" And again and again and again.. That's how we did it in the old days.. You literally play until you get bored, but you keep playing, and eventually your bored mind starts taking in the game as actual scenery, instead of just "The game", and your creativity slowly begins to raise, until you get an idea. Nobody has any patience anymore these days.. They play minecraft until they get "bored", then leave.. But back in the day, minecraft was what we HAD.. You didn't get "bored" with it, you kept playing it and messed around, and that's when the fun ideas would start flowing. The fun was never about getting resources, building big structures, or progression.. To quote that dusty old phrase, it's about the journey, not the destination. You've earned yourself a sub, mister schwarzenegger soundalike.

[@ringles]

First of all thanks for sharing your experience I think many old players can relate to this comment, as mentioned in the video, I think many players are very experienced with minecraft and are biased when it comes to taking action in the game. Their habits take control over what they do, which makes sense, we're humans and goal-striving creatures. The problem is, this is a game, and games are imo meant to be experienced rather than finished as fast as possible (there's speedrunning, which is cool, but we're talking about the average gaming experience). I could dive into this way more but I think this is getting a little too much for just a youtube comment, maybe in a future video/livestream. I'll be back.

[@heroslippy6666]

I've been playing games since I was very young. In Zelda games, I just ran around as if it were an open world. Found a few heart pieces that way lol. Zoo Tycoon, Star Wars Empire at War, Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 (I built a fireworks show in a war torn city, it looked epic), I just messed around in these games. Even in Smash Bros Brawl I would build a stage that funneled Smart Bombs to the center, set the item drop to high and only smart bombs, set the timer to 99minutes, set the stock lives to 99. Just played for a long while exploding around the map lol. In Tonka I'd build up a city and knock down all the buildings I made, and chase pedestrians with the dump truck lol

[@QUBIQUBED]

I got this really cool mod and I was immediately excited to see every single new feature in survival. But I realized that I should just play normal minecraft and do the modded stuff additionally instead of making it the premise.

[@seanpimble]

The closest way to describing why I wasn't having fun anymore in Minecraft is this: At some point along the way, I stopped playing the game and just started beating the game. I focused on the destination, instead of enjoying the journey.

[@whycantiputaname4944]

i find it hard to even focus on the destination, ive had a world for 1 month now and i still couldnt settle a house and had to live in villages everytime because i keep getting snow forests and ice spike biomes, i havent even gotten to the nether yet, i dont even have DIAMOND TOOLS yet. i enjoy the game for mostly its exploration and my absolute need for the perfect grassy plains biome to build a perfect oak house with 2 floors and a basement BEFORE i can even consider going to the nether.

[@jaytubin5444]

1:28 bro turns into Arnold Schwarzenegger

[@nad7140]

I always played at my own pace but I see so many friends of mine stop playing minecraft after short amount of playing because they set too big goals than they could handle, which is kinda sad. Its sometimes hard to remember that minecraft has so much potential and barely any limits on creativitiy when we constantly look at others goals. I myself had the same issue too, until I realize that I just enjoy just doing shit for the giggles and no big achievement. Like as Kid I would farm TNT and then put it in a hole, made them explode and redo the process all over but now with a bigger hole, just because I can.

[@unkwonblue5517]

Very true, the thing is, many people look at others huge accomplished goals and then project their goals as their own for some reason. Then they burn out trying to complete it cause that was not a true goal they wanted to accomplish. Anyone can complete any goal despite the difficulty, it’s all about if that goal is truly YOUR GOAL and not someone else’s that you trying to imitate. That’s why I accomplish my own goals and take ideas from others but not outright copy them unless I truly want to, even if it’s difficult. I’ve had three specific survival worlds I played on, the first I had invested in but it got corrupted. The second one I played a little with my cousins but then for some reason we could not connect with eachother due to pocket edition glitch, the third world is most invested in and still have it today, I’ve killed the Ender dragon and now I have not played in it cause I feel like I’ve done what I wanted to accomplish. “Content” is the problem for some reason. But now I want to go back cause I got new ideas and with the trial chambers update coming-and I loving copperworks artstyle, I think I’ll hit a new revolution of entertainment for me:)

[@ringles]

@@unkwonblue5517 Love the first sentence you said, that is very very true

Even though Minecraft was super important to me growing up, I never REALLY played it in a world, I was always on creative, or servers, I never really settled down in a world, and so I did that and for a week now this is the most enjoyable minecraft has ever been, I dont have a goal, its just fun!

[@maven2k]

I really liked this video! I'm 57 and remember how much I always wanted a game like Minecraft. You want to kill things? You can do that. You want to grow things? You can do that. You want to make things? You can do that. I've had spells where I was a little bored, but recently, after doing what you said you were doing. Creating a world and immediately tiring of it, I decided I would find a seed I like the looks of, and grow where I was planted. Not only have I built some of the best things I've ever built, but I've made a proper world of it. I enjoy it so much more, now. I love being excited to play again.

[@goofyahh7044]

Finding someone to play with is what gets me back on the game. I never play alone, but when you’re with someone else, or multiple people, the collaboration leads to new experiences and ideas that playing alone won’t get you. I think what you did was also a good way of reliving Minecraft, play the game like it’s your first time playing, quite literally, relive the magic. Minecraft is ultimately a sandbox game, yet we’ve assigned so many processes to it that it ends up feeling linear.

[@darkestccino5405]

I have figured out myself that a big key to enjoying a Minecraft world is to actively avoid basing in a village.

[@thecreatorofpc7929]

Im kinda the opposite. I set up base near a village (if I’m able to), but i don’t set up trading halls or any of that. I just have a base near the village and get my resources by myself. I think i just like exploring and being able to come back to a village as if i was some sort of local hero/adventurer

This video seriously resonated with me. I started a hardcore world about 18 months ago with the more or less the same mindset as you. Now I just go there to chill out and express whatever small creative ideas I have on that day. This came after I burned myself out on bedwars and survival world mega base grinding. Oddly enough, after such a large amount of playing just for fun, I did eventually end up with many of the same things I had previously done mindless grinds for, but this time it was enjoyable and fulfilling.

[@BarretTheImmaculate]

This video resonates with me so much man. I had a similar revelation somewhat recently. I got into a funk of constantly rushing through worlds over and over again. I would create a new world, build a house, and then bum rush netherite gear and get bored. I did about 4 of those worlds. Then I realized: "What am I even doing? These worlds mean nothing to me", and I started taking it slower and enjoying the progress. Now I'm in a state where I'm quite laid back when I play. Of course I still get burnt out from time to time, but my enjoyment of the game massively improved. Thank you for making this video

[@SakuraSedaia]

This truly hits home, I miss the days when the Minecraft community was so simple, friendly, and welcoming for everyone. But now we are in the content spam void where everything is bigger than even what you find in Texas, even the personalities. I've often found myself playing large packs but never doing much other than building small structures and exploring.

[@WoahItsWeej]

I've had a very similar problem with playing Minecraft singleplayer for a really long time, and I think you might have just figured out what it is. Every single time I start a singleplayer world, I ALWAYS beeline for stone tools, then getting iron everything, and thats usually about where I quit. This time, I think I'm gonna try to use every tier of tool/armor, because I can't think of the last time I made leather or gold for anything outside of decor. Hopefully that'll forcefully slow down my progress enough to actually play the game

Lost the motivation. Now you gave me motivation. Just enough to not quit right after starting. Thank you for the joy. Edit: Alright, fuck it. I got immediately killed I'mma rebuild the fortress again.

[@pa5838]

Yeah, that's actually a huge tip, don't rush making strong tools/armor, enchantments, villager trading and shit. Just enjoy the ambiance, explore, build some shit and naturally go progressing. If you rush the moment you get everything you will drop the game 100%, maybe build a useless house and then quit. The moment I realised that I started enjoying Minecraft a lot more. That and also always playing in the same world.

As someone who played Minecraft since it was on ps3, i always just created survival worlds n just mindlessly run around til i die, i just find the thought of how long i can survive being fun, I've played Minecraft like this ever since from ps3 to ps5 n i still find it very fun. I think burnout of playing the same game doesn't affect me, n im glad it doesn't.

I recently started playing again (mostly with some QoL mods, but kept it small and a manual handpicked list), and i been burnt on the game in ages- and just running around doing whatever that comes to mind first and such, or getting distracted has absolutely brought back some of the magic for me- i been playing since mid beta in 2011 AND on legacy console splitscreen all the time with my brother and his online friends... a magical time indeed. Great video

[@skye-yn5nk]

great video, very down to earth. I feel like I burn myself out when I try to build mega bases in 2.9 seconds of starting the world

[@thedrawingquill2059]

as much as i enjoy the challenge and the hardcore world videos, one of the things i’ve noticed is a lot of it is so advanced that it’s copy past afk farms. so much time spent not even the playing the game. it makes it hard to want to play because to get good armor i need to enchant it or it’ll break, but to enchant and repair it i need a steady stream of experience so i have to set up farms and they have to be efficient or you’re wasting hours waiting for things. i have to sift through dozens of tutorials on which farm is the best for which purpose and there isn’t much way to naturally figure these things out. i can’t really build a super structure without copy pasting the right farm to get the materials i need for one step or another. the most fun i’ve had was when i pick a chunk and mined it without leaving to get anything. nothing but stone tools and rotten flesh. but people don’t want to really have conversations about just mining unless you’ve done something new or impressive and i just don’t have fun interacting with the community anymore. it makes it hard to want to pick the game back up again

[@club2772]

Yeah I’ve always been one to chill in my worlds and not get much done. I’ve had a small guilt about not getting much done but it’s dissipated recently. Just been soaking in the beautiful scenery and fighting monsters and just surviving. Pretty fun and scary. Love this game.

[@MrMech_]

it can be fun to just build a normal sized mountian base and ending up forgetting to kill the dragon because you found it fun to mine 5000 stone blocks to slowly but surely have your new storage expansion be comeplete, and than you look back at the photo you SHOULD'VE takenof the big stone wall and think "wow... that was 5 hours of mining and building well spend, also audio books are nice too".

[@zealwarriorgaming5315]

I honestly am in the same boat as you. I always felt guilty about not sticking with a single world from the very beginning 10 years ago when I look at these KZbinr’s, with me also creating lots of new worlds only for me to stop around the mid game most of the time. But I think I’ll appreciate my time with Minecraft more now after watching this video. Such an inspiration.

[@Dat_Feathered_Boi]

This really is the key to enjoying anything in life that you've enjoyed before. Puzzles, books, games as a whole - everything requires variety, it requires challenging yourself to figure out what you actually enjoy about such mediums. I found Minecraft pretty boring for a while until I spawned in this godawful world with snowy tundra and small snowy taiga for miles on end. A truly miserable experience, but it forced me to play it slowly, which like you, made it far more enjoyable. It's a massive walled city now. Used to get bored of puzzles until I got this strange 3d puzzle. I hated it, but it made me enjoy regular puzzles again. Strange how it works.

[@Neon_Henchman]

The only reason I continue playing it every now and then, and that was how I got a second love for Minecraft, is challenging myself; it was so much fun getting to the end of such a long walk in a Void Biome World, because I managed to pull off something nobody else would. I keep finding very weird but interesting ways you could play Vanilla Minecraft, like even a Floating Islands, River Biome World seems like an interesting idea to me.

[@yacookieboi9271]

you make a great point, i have been playing minecraft since 2014 but i was always making worlds and forgetting about them or playing in servers with friends until 2019 when minecraft got popular again i created my one and only world that i play a lot during weekends, it really is my escape from reality and i have never gotten bored of it.

[@russelldoodles638]

Bro I just randomly got recommended your video and your videos are really cool

[@ModBros8434]

This is a very introspective and authentic reflection. A nice change of pace from its contemporaries.

[@astronull8589]

1:54 most genuine fck ever

[@Maxidos]

I think a lot of what you say in this video is correct, one of my favourite recent experiences in minecraft was when I joined a minecraft server that a discord server for another game that I’m in started, and I ran off to do the normal collecting resources, but when I only had stone tools, I decided to run back to spawn and mess around, going in to the nether even though I had no gear for it, and building a really dangerous staircase to build limit. Anyway they changed that server to pixelmon so that’s all gone now.

[@seabass1428]

Damn, this is a convenient video for me. I played minecraft yesterday for the first time in atleast 6-7 months. I basically just logged onto an old survival world of mine, and did a few things. I realized forgot why it was my favorite game for many years, why I bought it all the way back in 2014. Modern minecraft is definitely something, to say the least. Thanks for this video, I resonated with it.

[@genericcatgirl]

The part about not setting huge goals is so true, and I think explains one of the biggest differences between "old school" Minecraft playthroughs and new Minecraft playthroughs. When people knew less about the game, they just messed around and came up with goals based on what they needed or wanted in the moment, while now people often come in with huge plans for later in the game that they try to force into their playthrough. This is very noticeable with builds. People see all these huge structures online and then make a world with a plan to build something big, but get burnt out. But in the past., you were much more likely to do a bunch of little things and connect them together creatively. A random hole in the wall with a small farm will slowly build up into a larger structure as you add more functional rooms, decorations or details. It was fun to make random structures and then connect them together. It created a "story" for the world instead of a many hour struggle to build something after rushing strong equipment. Basically: most of us started out building AROUND what we encountered in the game instead of trying to force the game towards a certain goal

[@tankenjoyer9175]

there is mods that can estimulate you to just aprecciate the world and do other stuff than progressing which is good for me. i love building massive kingdoms and villages at a slow pace and thats why i love the MCA Reborn mod, Structure mods, Terrain Generation etc they just keep a gap filled when i played minecraft and make me just feel like i am in another World.

[@FrootDeMoN]

This was a very good video. I also really like your sense of humor :)

[@PaGDu333]

I actually thought this was 1k - 5k subs channel, you're way underappreciated! You earned a sub btw

[@KingOskar4]

3:25 "Don't set up a Megabase goal, You won't finish 💩. Instead, choose SMALL goals🏁🎯"... Hmmm😊 that is exactly how I am doing my new type of Builder World. Instead of Big Goals, I make small goals and small buildings.😅 Oh and a Simulated Villager Park.

[@JoeTheDauntless]

Your accent is cool, lol. This video was so relatable. All of my favorite and most nostalgic survival worlds were the ones that I didn’t worry about progressing a ton. Thank you for making this. ❤️

[@Relics_AI]

"Psst" * shadily pulls out game from trench coat "want the feeling of old mincraft?" "try Vintage Story" >_> ....

[@kindertak5396]

A reason I still play b1.7.3 sometimes is because its simplicity makes it so YOURE the one making the game, builds and mechanics are simpler and I actually think this helps your imagination in other ways that the mega structures in current versions do, makes you appreciate the little things if you're down for it. PD: I know you can technically do this in newer versions, but the older ones have a different feeling to it, maybe its my nostalgia making me delusional or maybe its because the beta and 1.20 are basically different games

[@zachduperron8543]

As a rather infrequent minecraft player, this hit right in the feels. I was one of those kids who made tons of worlds with no progress or did a small bit. One day in 2019 I made a minecraft world and I was committed to it, I let the world grow and did things at my own pace, no hurry. I still have it and I come back every now and then when I have the spare time.

[@KingOskar4]

That is the spirit❤. I am 25 yr old now and I am trying my first 100 days superflat challenge. The reason😮 for 100 days on my part is: So that I stick to that one world for a certain amount of time, so far, I am 1 week in, and I reached day 26😅

[@thevipez8740]

Something smart too is to try an older version of the game, and see what you can accomplish in it, pretty fun as well as you never have to update it or anything either so things dont potentially break

[@hannahrenner7295]

Amazing video, delivered hilariously 😂 i thoroughly enjoyed this lmao thank you

[@goldogemania6760]

why has this video got more views than subs? how did anyone watch this and NOT sub? i bloody love this guy keep making stuff like this man

[@chillycarlson3477]

One thing i really like doing is taking my time. Enjoying the little things and not trying to rush.

[@spacecat3198]

I'm an adult player that started as an adult player. I went back to college (UK, not uni) to do some IT courses. Some of the younger people there showed me Minecraft. I ended up getting it. The game and players are impressive. Some people create amazing builds and the redstone. I'm enjoying seeing the game evolve. I like to go to my solo world and build whatever I like. I'm not that good at decoration though I try. Really takes me away from real world crap. Thanks for sharing this. Makes me feel better about my own gameplay. It's sort of lonely though, started as an adult and don't know anyone who did. I wish I grew up with the game!

[@CrazyGamer69real]

Really good video man, i also lost my motivation to play this game, but then i discovered creative mode for myself and also became a host for my friends, and so i opened a server and currently i have more fun hosting servers than playing survival, i got inspired by videos like yours, and now i am haviog fun again so, thank you.

[@AlphaKnight-hg2jq]

You get it my man, since my teens ive been trying to live up to completionist youtubers but recently i realised i just dont have that devotion. Just play the game and have fun, thats all thats important, you dont have to do everything thats in the game

[@Alexminecrafter1]

for me it was the same, i mined tree get stone tools then iron then diamond them max enchanted netherite armor in less than 8 hours than beat the game get a elytra and quit before making a creeper farm, but on my freinds realm i played for over 1000 hours and done so many farms and a few builds and still i have a lot of ideas every time i walk though my underground base i end up thinking some stuff to improve the base. i been doing that since day one of the realm or April 7th 2023

[@TrideGD]

It takes a very specific type of person to spend a lot of time in a world I reckon. I'm definitely that type of person, but even then stuff like delaying progression is super super important. After a while, all your motivation to play needs to come from your own unique projects and ideas. You'll eventually run out of stuff to do in the base game, so you need to make sure you're balls deep into a few projects you really wanna finish before doing stuff like going to the end or getting a beacon. It's just a shame the way the game is rn that doing anything without perfect tools and an elytra can feel like a waste of time, which isn't helped by the "PERFECT start in Minecraft HARDCORE" videos. Really slowing down and giving yourself time to get excited about future projects is such a good feeling that I feel like has been lost by so many people who play the game now

[@usibistro]

Tride why are you here?? And why does your comment have zero likes for two days??

[@hue.main1]

I loved when I played with friends too, especially ones who don’t play much, cause then it’s a more refreshing and slower experience of progressing. It’s awesome.

[@CJ_Gamezz_YT]

Thank you so much for this video. This one video has gave me inspiration. I know it sounds dumb.. but I’m serious. Thank you. You earned my subscription.

[@boredyoutubeuser]

This is so charming, this reminded me that I don't have to miss the old days when I can still live them right now! I'm gonna go play some 1.12.2 or some minecraft pocket edition now!

[@GikamesShadow]

If I may suggest a few additional things to keep things fun for you as I recently started a new but this time proper approached world. (I went hardcore on top lol) If you wanna keep things interesting as if it was the first day, set yourself limits of what is allowed and what not. Enhance your gameplay with mods that enrich those limitations over getting rid of them. For me I have set myself very simple limits so far. Here is a small list of all of them if you are curious, maybe one of them is interesting enough to copy for your own world. - No sleeping without shelter (prevents sleeping when the sun goes down out in the open and makes it so you have an outpost roughly a day away from any location. - No Stealing from villagers (this includes also killing the iron golem and taking their chests and blocks) - No tradinghalls (If you want an enchant and work on a good villager, youll have to make it worth their time and keep them in their own village, but safe and sound. This encourages you to work on the village as a whole) - No Mending (Doesnt need an explanation really) - No Armor Creation with the exception of Leather and Gold unless you have 1 stack of each material. The only exception being netherite, here you merely require 4 stacks of gold. - No equiping armor with the exception of Leather and gold unless you have a full set. (This will encourage the making of multiple sets) - No eating food that isnt prepared/made into a proper meal. No Golden Foods with the exception of Golden Apples (Here Farmers Delight or other mods come in handy. And if such mods are installed, a simple beef steak wouldnt be allowed either (unless its made already or comes pre-cooked due to enchants) - Im currently also thinking of a "take what you get" rule for enchanting, to get rid of the level grinding for "good" enchants for my world. All the above basically leads to a level of permanence for the player. Making your world feel extra special. If you now build something, it has an experience tied to it. You got a really good pickaxe and you cant repair it anymore? Damn, better put that thing in a special place, you two went to places like never before.

[@xenoxorus]

After watching StampyLongNose final video on his lovely world made me appreciate those years of watching his channel on being curious to his creativity and passion for simply building and have fun with his friends. But now the world has completely changed since the pandemic came and i just want to say that I used to play and love Minecraft before that is just purely based on craft and build, exploration and playing with your friends for fun. Thankfully i got to experienced those golden days with my inner past child.

[@KingOskar4]

Why not try that yourself once more? 😂 To just "build and craft" . I am trying that in a 100 days format on a superflat world and...😮 It works for me?! So far I have a decent base on Day 26 out of 100😊

[@magnoimes1692]

Damn this is wayy too relatable. Thank you for covering this up!

[@Whatismusic123]

This is the minecraft equivalent of pretending to be homeless as a millionaire

[@stary_kartofel2137]

That's exactly how I played minecraft in the early days: start a new world, make a house, get diamonds, maybe go to the nether, delete the world, repeat. Starting up was my favorite part of the game back then, and it still is actually But I became better at the game, learned a lot of stuff like obscure game mechanics only nerds know about, but also how to be more patient and persistent in completing big projects like building huge farms, draining an ocean monument, changing the entire end island to look completely different and getting all advancements (yes, even the all effects at once thingy, I've done it all), and soon I'm about to reach 1000 days in my hardcore world, my longest lasting world out of all, hardcore or not hardcore

[@Natas_incubus]

I did this recently, started a world, made a small house mined mostly for cobble, and my biggest project is moving the villagers from nearby to my tiny settlement. Just doing things to do them

[@atkocuboatkocubo8729]

I also recently restarted playing minecraft for the first time, and it was exactly the way i did it. I just decided to think about what people did in old let's plays, and did it. Usually I have many small projects i work on and then i change when i get bored of them and come back when i want to continue. Playing beta also opened my eyes, especially since i only joined in 1.11

[@quite_gigglesome]

This was such a good video man. I am a serial world quitter and I think from now on I’ll try to progress slower. Love your channel, hope you get far on youtube!

[@Illogical.]

I'm pretty good at playing at a pace I find fun. But then I want to move out of my day-one base (usually a 4×6 and 2 or 3 tall pocket of air with a connected enchanting room in the side of a hill) (I usually have at least partial netherite, and most of my usual enderchest shulker boxes, like most potion ingredients, a good amount of the easily renewable plants, valuables, silk-touch-mined ore, redstone components, common materials, a bunch of things I only ever need a few of, but don't want to carry around in my inventory (bed, flint and steel, fishing rod, etc), and some others). I usually get stuck because there is no more space for chests. I don't like changing the layout of things I've built, and I can never figure out a second base design I can be satisfied with.

[@ringles]

what worked for me is not getting the best gear immediately, in the world im playing in the video, I crafted full wooden gear, which I haven't done in god knows how long, I think delaying progress is very important. When it comes to building multiple bases, I now tend to build different buildings around my world instead of putting everything into one "megabase". These are cool too, but more of late game quest imo. Also it's more fun imo, when I need to travel or even connect different buildings with minecarts and such and I actually need to use something like a horse/boat to travel rather than elytra + firework or some soulspeed highway what ever. They're cool but a little too much imo

[@Illogical.]

@ringles I found a spot that's almost perfect for my base. Except that it's a few thousand blocks from spawn. And the nearest biome that has ice is around 15000 blocks away. (and even further from spawn) And the coordinates are really easy to remember in binary or remember part of and figure the rest of it out from that part. And if I misalign some portals perfectly, I can enter a portal, take one step in the nether, and end up in the portal room of the nearest stronhold, which is several hundred blocks away. (but I think I did the math wrong or misunderstood something, cause it's not currently working.) Connecting bases that are thousands of blocks apart seems like a bigger project than moving to a larger modular base that is easy to expand. At least to me. But I'm on bedrock edition, so I can't utilize the nether roof nearly as much as java players.

[@MasterCorneilous]

Bruh this is too underrated

[@agitatedtofu2511]

I think this may be why i enjoy the game vintage story so much, its basically a standalone minecraft mod that is pretty damn hard, but even experienced players are slowed down due to how the progression works and you end up playing like this, slower, not worrying about megabases,and just kind of exist in the world making slow progress to your goals, be it just surviving the night, or building a simple home
