How to Stay Motivated Playing Minecraft! Singleplayer Survival Tips

[@nembutsu1045]

man hearing you talk about being attached to your pets like this and fishing with them, going on walks, you seem like a really lovely and nice person

[@luvstarkei]

aww thank u :3

[@christopherfreeman1666]

​@@luvstarkei You actually raise a good point with that. I tend to tame animals and then do nothing with them at all. I never take them with me, (mostly because I'm scared of them being killed off by creepers or what have you buuut), even when I'm doing mundane things like fishing or mining. Maybe I'll give that a try! I do however love modding my game to be more realistic with the vibes. Especially the rain. I don't like the rain going away when I decide to sleep so I don't let it! 😝

[@Ale_Creates]

I've been doing this singleplayer let's play on my channel that just turned 1 year old, which is the longest a Minecraft series I have ever uploaded to KZbin........Even though it's been 1 year, only 26 episodes are out, the key that has helped to carry on going in this long term world has been "treating the world like old school Minecraft" what I mean by that is, not doing all main objectives back to back and instead spacing them out with small but cute and fun side-quests in-between , building smaller houses and structures instead of huge ones, and most importantly not rushing to upload the videos, instead uploading when I am super motivated that way I don't feel forced to continue and I will still have several future tasks to not get bored.

[@teamarso]

Same here! Started my channel in august uploading my first three videos which blew up on the channel but after uploading episode 2 I got burned out and my friend wasn't invested in the series anymore so it was hard for me to find motivation to keep going. Uploading another episode tonight hoping that people come back after the channel basically died. I am pretty much just taking it slow and slowly learning the game and sticking to the theme like its "real life" in a sense.

[@RequiemL34]

No wonder why I burned out with thaumcraft ( 4.2) I ripped straight through the whole thaumonomicon until reaching and completing TTKami 💀💀💀

[@realchoodle]

You know, a lot of this is pretty good life advice as well. I wonder if that partially explains why Minecraft is so meaningful to so many people.

[@robbie3719]

I find that not going too hard on building every single xp farm/exploit mechanic helps me not get burnt out. It makes me have to do certain things more naturally, which is more fun and organic than just having some overpowered thing designed to "save time". I namely do this with my normal crop farms. I dont try and make them all automatic, and I just build them for aesthetic above all else. Which is ultimately what I like about minecraft. Building things, gathering things, adventuring

[@luvstarkei]

thats what i do too! ive completely eliminated auto farming from my playstyle, its so much more enjoyable that way!

[@GabrielVilanova-n3p]

An iron farm here and there for that big ass project that will require tons of iron stacks is fine, but building a farm for every damn thing in Minecraft? Lol nope. It takes away the fun of grinding.

[@therandomgamer2]

Shut up stop gaslighting I still think gaming is fun who cares what you think😂

[@therandomgamer2]

Bruh stop gaslighting I still think gaming is fun and are you a organ doner😂

[@MessedUpSystem]

My long-term vanilla survival world I have since Microsoft got in charge of Minecraft in 2018 has a guardian farm that I still have to decorate xD Like, the farm is Iskall85's design, simple and very effective for singleplayer, and I have a whole vision for the decoration inspired by Great Bay Temple from Majora's Mask, but I always do something else xD

[@mr.teobruh977]

You should do a full Showcase of your old Minecraft worlds, i think it would be pretty interesting to see it's history, and also how it evolves as you grew up

[@luvstarkei]

ive lost a lot of those old worlds :( i might show the ones i still have, but its not a lot >_

[@ozzyedwards5634]

As someone who LOVES Minecraft but suffer burnout and struggled with getting into the Minecraft worlds I've made This video popped up on my recommended and I swear this changed my life, I've always loved roleplaying (especially DnD style or story roleplay) and I never thought of playing Minecraft like that! I also struggle with going too fast, I almost never have to use stone tools since I end up getting iron within the first 10-20 minutes of playing but I'm trying to slow down and just enjoy the pace and scenery that Minecraft has to offer.

[@HoneyduckXD]

If u wanna slow down, I recommend making a stone axe and cutting trees and building a nice house

[@victalivarius]

As a fellow DND player, you have to try Alex's caves, Born in Chaos and The Graveyard those are the mods I've been playing with in my current world and I don't get bored! well, I have also been taking things slowly like Luvstars says here in the video, building and adventuring, started this world months ago and I haven't even went to the nether yet.

[@Xoxo.Leah813]

I am in love with the classic texture pack. It reminds me of my childhood and immediately gives me motivation to create ❤

[@VertigoRoses]

man i love minecraft roleplaying,, even in singleplayer worlds lol. i remember the days when i had no friends and i would use minecraft as an escape, pretending the villagers were my friends. now my fiance and i make custom modded worlds and roleplay with eachother, making up our own quests in our heads.

[@anonybelle]

I really like the advice and your attitude towards the game. Slowing down and just role-playing little moments to yourself. Reminds me of how I play Sky Children of the Light, which I've played almost every day for 4 years now. In the game you can fly but sometimes I just walk around the maps and take things in instead of flying and rushing through it.

[@SmashPlayz]

I have to tell you that I absolutely LOVE your hair! Looks amazing!

[@Rainnifer]

Thank you for this video. I don't think I've ever seen a video of yours, and only minimally watched minecraft videos recently but somehow KZbin just knew to recommend me this. For years now every time I try to play minecraft it has been very short-lived. I always long to have that feeling again of when I was a kid playing it and making my wacky homes but still really enjoying my time. I've been stuck in this pattern of trying to play, spending an unreasonable amount of time just walking around in the new world and looking for a place to live. I always struggle to choose "the spot" that I want, and then as soon as I do and I make my first house, all my motivation ends there and I stop playing again because I don't know what else to do by then. I think my biggest problem is that I love exploring the most, and if I settle down I don't know how to explore anymore because I'd always need to go back to my base. I can't just explore forever because then my inventory gets full... when I was a kid I played minecraft on xbox which had a limited world size, I think that helped force me to settle down

[@washedkris]

I grinded 12hr/day for the 1st month of my current survival world getting all the gear, farms i'd need to make big projects come to life. That much time helped me to come up with a lot of projects. Currently im working on 3 big builds, and jumping between them whenever i start to feel burnout really helps to not burn out because im not doing the same thing. All other 15 projects i have written down really helps with motivation because i dont want those ideas go to waste.

[@LqwAbidingCitizen]

you have too much free time im unreasonably jealous

[@stonehengemaca]

I started a 4 player server with friends about a year ago, and I love how it's become a "living" world with a history, memories and lore.

[@1bunnie1o]

9:44 omg I thought the same thing. I was looking at auto farm ideas and then I realized that thatd just get really boring, I think it’s more fun to have pens for your livestock instead of ugly machines imo

[@thomasaitken7495]

Sad thing about auto-farms, they need to be emptied constantly when there run. I use a few to get bone meal, but I always keep manual farms even if just for aesthetic reasons. I love seeing them in my worlds.

[@nets9970]

Your advice is really great, thank you! Your world is also super inspiring. I started my currently longest attempt at a permanent world half a year ago. I thought that maybe the overabundance of things to do in newer versions of the game stressed me out, so my plan was to start my world in version 1.0.0 and do everything I could in that version and then go to the next, and and so on until I eventually reach the latest version. For now this world has been really enjoyable, I'm still in 1.0.0 and now the biggest problem I have is I don't know when to update my world since I can still do tons of things in this version. This is also the first time I beat the ender dragon alone in the many years I've played Minecraft.

[@matthewtikka5133]

cool Minecraft world. i have a world that has been in the works for years. my daughters used to play with me but the caves and cliffs update made their devices to weak for the game so we haven't played since. i dropped it for a long time since I missed them every time i played alone, but have picked it back up and continued on my own. I would add two tips to your list how to not get board with Minecraft. Know how you play, or your favorite style of play. Also, most people that take long breaks and come back, get discouraged because the inventory is a mess and you cant find what your looking for inside the chest monster. Keep this organized and it wont be such an overwhelming thing. When i dropped my world for a long time i tried to come back to it multiple times but didn't know where to start. I spent 3 days straight organizing and cleaning all the chest monsters and now im playing again!

[@MaxWindshear]

I've spent a number of years playing Minecraft and had so much fun learning all its secrets. My hard drive crashed recently and I lost everything. I look back on all my adventures, builds, and inventions, and it's hard to feel ok about it. When I think about recreating some of my favorite builds, it sounds like too much work, and that's a shame. It was nice to hear your feelings on the game. It makes me believe I can get back into the excitement again. Thanks for this video.

[@IrineuN00b]

I'm building a city in my world since 2012, but what makes it so special is that I made a lot of important things for me in this world like... my real life house, school, buildings from movies and series I like, etc...everything I like is in this world ,traveling around this world is like traveling in my head...I even made my own texture pack to make it even more unique. this is what makes me wanna still play Minecraft 💜

[@LonelyShield]

Wow, you have really cool dyed hair with some stripes on its pattern on sides. So cool!

[@bmwkmx1]

It helps to have a creative personality.

[@copicgirl8057]

7:09 This is so me! Doesn't matter if it's a crime show, a movie or something else, I will often even remember scenes I saw when I built a certain building! This really is awesome when playing in the same world for a long time.

[@MonsterMasher137]

I beat the Ender Dragon for the first time a few months ago on a world that I think about with an immense fondness. I had built my home into a sizeable cave with a single entrance and multiple chambers. Like a main hearth, farming, mine, the whole works, all in a hobbit hole, which meant good food, and all the comforts of home. I made the ceiling out of skulk because it reminded me of twinkling stars

[@prod.6ixsar]

Idk who u are but you're one of the only Minecraft KZbinrs that I actually enjoyed watching and enjoyed taking tips. Keep up the videos fr

[@MichaelKlumb]

really love that video and i now have to follow you. i fell in love with minecraft late. I'm playing it for about 3 years now (i´m 42) and i totally love it. I try to open a community server once a year limited for 100 days to get the "short time" motivated people into it put i´m also playing solo on my own and love to have a grown world over time

[@shinydiglett]

Great tips! I'm one of those people who will go all in on this game for a week or so, quickly getting bored in the process and taking like a year until I get the itch to play it again... been getting that itch again, and this popped up on my recommended with great timing! I'll definitely try to take things slowly this time, really taking in the atmosphere

[@Crow.Sticks]

This video was so helpful! I had the issue of planning out these colossal building ideas but that just ended up burning me out when i realised how long it would take, sometimes a cozy cottage is more than enough XD

[@mjau9795]

Hands down best video ive watched in my life, thank youu for making this amazing piece of content and ptting it out on the internet☺

[@luvstarkei]

aww thank you so much! glad you enjoyed it :)

[@mjau9795]

@@luvstarkei I really did and I’m gonna use all these tips to finally have a world I can stay on, I can’t thank you enough

[@alihaans4677]

Thank you so much luvstar I am really motivated with these spectacular tips thank you so much love you your biggest fan ❤

[@ReavoEnd]

Love this video. So many good points on how you as a player can challenge your perspective of play, question your habits, and overcome those mental roadblocks with some healthy introspection. Thanks for making the case for ignoring the "cringe," and for making this video as a whole!

[@ptinori]

amazing video!! i've been playing almost nonstop since 2011, but it's so easy for me to feel like i need to hurry and get all of my farms done. i recently made a semi-modded server for me and my friends, and it's so nice taking it so slow with everyone. it makes me feel like i'm 14 again, in a way

[@sellkx3023]

I often play with my best friend but we’re very different when it comes to how we want to play Minecraft. I‘ve always wondered why I disliked when he wanted to enter the nether before we had built our house or created a NON automates farm or decorated our house. I‘ve always preferred your type of playing but I had never realized. You just put it into words perfectly and something in me just relaxed. Thank you.

[@zaccorpseman7366]

Revisiting your old saves help a lot too, if you can still access them. I found myself building like I'd never built before when returning to my MCPE 0.11 world, totally rewinding and enjoying it.

[@YungSteambuns]

bruh your hair taking me back to 2008, I love it, and that hatsune miku poster is awesome too, also this showed up when I got back into minecraft, they truly are listening

[@Fishboy67]

....I just love everything about this video and your message, I've always valued having a main world for as long as possible and making your world feel like home and being as creative as possible.

[@luvstarkei]

im so glad u liked the vid :3 a world feeling like home, what a wonderful way to put it!

[@Fishboy67]

@luvstarkei hell yeah, we all want our own kind of Stampys lovely world lol

[@OmegaTaishu]

This speaks to me on a very personal level. I'm the type of player who gets attached to almost every single place I go to. I name the regions and the bases I make, write down their histories and sometimes even write poetry. One of the differences in our playstyles is that I play on my friend's server, but I'm still the only one going there semi-regularly. On the roleplay aspect, the narrative is that I/we are fighting the "forces of darkness"... literally :D

[@jjsworldxo]

for me i enjoy the basic stuff when playing minecraft like gathering stuff, making a house, chestroom, decorating it, making farms. then i play for a week and lose interest so this helps a lot thank you

[@dee23gaming]

This is by far the most motivational Minecraft video I've ever watched. It's tough breaking away from that rushed play style. I am so good at getting the best gear in the shortest timespan, whilst I only live out of a few chests, lol.

[@Piexus_]

I love the way you think about Minecraft and your advices, I’ve been trying to change how I play Minecraft and games in general and this helps a lot. Thank you, take care ⭐️

[@Christian-uv7bb]

Not only does this work for Minecraft but it also works for other survival game too like ark for example😃

[@ohmychocol8]

thank you sm for this video! i've been meaning to make a forever world in minecraft but didn't know what to do :] ! thank you ^_^

[@originsdevteam740]

VIdeos like this is what motivated me to create what is essentially an adventure game in minecraft. My focus is fixing the singleplayer is boring problem.

[@TheAndi073]

I completely agree with creating a narrative for your world. I have been playing Minecraft with my friends for a long time on a server and we built a city together. One day one of them asked what the backstory of our city actually is and so I had to make one up. It got me absolutely hooked on the game. It can also make you much more creative with what you can or want to build for your base or city and it can give your base a lot of identity.

[@nyanby]

Its been 3 days since I've started my forever world and it has been fun until now, i planned every day hiding signs in random places telling a bit of how the day was being, i watched your other videos and i really like them! Keep going

[@kubamiodek3161]

Great video, really gave me a new look on playing the game I loved for years. Thank you for this. Also - love your building style, brings back memories of my long term world :D

[@xRichieeex]

Playing too fast is an issue I have when Playing on MP worlds with friends. They are very experienced in minecraft and know how to get the best everything immediately, So the world progresses super fast and I just feel left behind like I can't really enjoy it. Nothing I do really feels significant or exciting.

[@LunarPriestessYT]

Mods keep me playing this game

[@Krissy27]

If I get bored I usually work on a small project. I make videos, so I don't get bored often because there is always something new to do! and I love your hair colour btw.

[@rad8078]

9:13 ive been playing beta 1.7 recently and noticed that the lack of sprinting was actually nice, it added a little bit of a challenge too. things seem farther away when you have to walk everywhere and its almost easier to enjoy the scenery in a way

[@baal8938]

When I wanted to play minecraft but just couldn't find something to do I started looking at modded packs and have now spent almost 2k hours playing gregtech

[@Lost_Crisper_The_Tamed_Ocelot]

Hi new sub! That was amazing thank you!! Also your home at the end of the video, is also amazing 🎉🙏 I have a year old world on the old version of minecraft console edition for Nintendo Switch. I love the older block palettes and more simple times. But combat and the Nether was way harder. Anyway feel similar ways I've been enjoying adding to that world over the year and it's like an old friend now. Definitely understand loving the pets and making your own lore. I have an Ocelot friend I had to recue called Crisper, he goes with me everywhere, has his own iron golem friend. 😊

[@Quazee137]

I have been on the J&H servers playing skyblock from July 10th 2021. Almost 24/7 at times I am "A Sleep At Keyboard" i.e ASAK. I was able to download past worlds from J&H going back to 2014. My Granddaughter got me doing redstone for her team and got hooked on minecraft back then. So much more FUN than TV, cards or golf.

[@LadyKitsunetsuki]

This video has helped me out a lot. I just played Minecraft for the first time. I had lots of fun but was worried about if the game was enough to keep me interested. What had me was when you said role-playing. Also the added keeping a diary or journal.

[@thateye49]

This deserves more likes. Everything you said is so relatable. I had a hardcore map where i lived on a library from a village and i used to call the librarian 'Rumeit' (roommate). So stupid, I know, but it was enjoyable for me. On one point he was zombified and i saved him on limit of dying from sun light by looking him under the library. I put glass blocks instead of the floor above him, along a torch and a bed on his cell (even though he can not sleep as a zombie). From that point my main and only mission was to obtain what i needed to cure him. Sadly i died on caves, but it was fun to make this roleplay of being on a mission to save my friend. When i first get down there i made a bridge of wood on the large cave and a skeleton throwed me out of the bridge, falling on a thin pit remaining with half of heart and a creeper that blew down there (lucky that i had shield). I stayed barricaded there a while to regenerate and i felt so scared like i was the man from disk 11. Ironically the reason that i died on that map was also a skeleton that throwed me out with an arrow from a bridge. Same crap, but that last time i falled between a bunch of zombies and my shield broked....the end. Tragic ending, but it was fun. Guess that is my curse. Probably the reason you have a long term map is because you don't play hardcore mode . Personally i like to play only on this mode as single player to be more realist i guess. It is more easy to make survival roleplay when if you die you really die like irl. At least for me.

[@thateye49]

Sorry for grammar mistakes, I was so hype to type this, plus english is not my native language (if this counts as an excuse)

[@stevenXCV]

I'm so happy to see where your channel is right now, going from 1k to 34k subs 🎉. Every time I log into my MC horror world, I just build whatever to keep me motivated 😄

[@CobeeNC919]

I am a noob but now I’m playing in my survival more than ever Technical and Building stuff , I’m learning a lot of things there’s something to do every time 🤘🏾

[@ILikeWafflz]

I first played minecraft in I think 2014 on xbox. I did the standard "spam for 2 weeks, not play for months/years" thing. Around 2016 I bought java edition, then did the same thing. Until mid 2020. Right about when the nether update released, I decided to overhaul my playstyle. I had been watching speedrun and combat minecraft stuff for a few months before that point, and I determined I wanted to develop more general skill and efficiency in playing because one of the things that really limited my ability to enjoy minecraft was how clunky I was at actually playing it. I made a plan. I turned scroll sensitivity way down and set up hotbar keybinds, and set a goal of beating the dragon in hardcore. No base or anything, just the bare minimum gathering some gear and food: it was somewhere between casual play and speedrunning. It took 33 attempts, but I did it. I did my first raid on that attempt too. Beat the dragon, returned to the overworld, then died to digging into lava 2 minutes later. Through that, I gradually learned how to avoid dying and I got to where I was able to do things without stumbling over controls. At that point I didn't know what to do in a solo world, so I turned to SMPs. Joined one, had a bunch of fun for a few months, left due to an issue with one of the members, then found another one that I've been in since April of 2021. I've played minecraft in one form or another pretty much every day with the occasional 1-2 month long break. A certain irony is that what got me motivated to play more was kind of the opposite of what was brought up around 11:00; it was learning fast inventory management and being able to play efficiently that made me able to enjoy it. From an outside perspective, my gameplay looks like I'm in a really big hurry but it's honestly just how I like to play lol I have taken to slowing down a bit on getting maxed out gear. I've been trying to appreciate the smaller steps between iron and fully enchanted netherite. I've been eating baked potatoes and bread instead of golden carrots all the time. I also can't kill animals, it makes me feel too bad. After learning better controls, the next thing that helps me stay motivated the most is staying organized. I don't find having to look through all my chests when I need anything very engaging.

[@luvstarkei]

hey i love that! just goes to show everyone enjoys the game and finds fulfillment playing in different ways. thats great, and im glad you found a way to enjoy minecraft your own way :)

[@MessedUpSystem]

When I play with mods, my rule-of-thumb to keep engaged with the world is: free use of creative for building a cool, thematic base and then focus on progressing through the mod (like Thaumcraft which is my favorite mod of all time, the grind is soooo real with that mod I don't think I could handle having to build a base AND grinding through the mod progression). If I had to play 100% survival my base would just be sccatered magic constructs with maybe a cobble wall around them, but allowing creative allows me to build a huge Wizard's tower to devote each floor to an aspect of the mod which keeps me soooo engaged since now I actually feel like a wizard studying thaumturgy and not just someone randonly progressing through a mod

[@DaltonHBrown]

I used to get burned out and quit for like a year. But I would still keep up with the development. And would come back each big update. Now, starting with 1.17, I've kept a long-term single-player world. Taking breaks and immersion into one's own world is very important.

[@abisheikbuwanekabahu6271]

I have had a single player survival world which is modded, its been the longest survival world I've ever had, idk why I still continue to play it. It just feels natural to me, and I don't feel like giving it up until I complete my village town. Even then I don't think I will stop playing it. But one day I do wanna make a new world probably which is fully survival, no mods just me and the world. For me minecraft is something that will always stick with me, I will never stop playing it.

[@SharpScales]

I've been slowly building up a custom roleplay-fueled village where I play the mayor in a little basin on my newest long-term world! So far, it's going great, with a nice combo of completing small tasks I put on a task board in town to the character-driven chaos that happens when a friend wants to join and play the village crazy person for an hour or two!

[@Lauralink100]

I just play whenever I feel like it also when building something really big all I do is do them step by step taking it slowly and do it by sections

[@luvstarkei]

thats a great way to go about it ^-^

[@kitdatkat]

Love the way you build its very similar to me, and also great tips on the game! Your world is very impressive i cant imagine how many hours that has on it lol

[@ImpsWorld]

Minecraft really helps me to keep good mental state ✨

[@TheStealthyOne6]

Nether Survival early game. That is one of the most infuriating but most fun things I have done, building bridges across lava (actual bridges not those disgusting floating beams) and farming Hoglins while trying not to die.

[@NetSpectre]

Started playing in early 2021 for the first time and I still have that world, its become so huge now that its kinda laggy. But I built so many insanely huge things. An entire city basically of different structures. And you're so right - each of them, as I go past, I remember what was going on for me at the time I built that structure. Or what music I was listening to. Etc. Everything in it has memories. It's backed up but if I ever fully lost it I would feel like the death star just blew up my planet or something!

[@CURTIS-W5CER]

I'm having this very problem. I just can't seem to get motivated again. I used to be... I had a very long term single player world that I played on all the time. But I did get bored, and then just kind of stopped playing. I spent 2 years not on minecraft. Now I WANT to play, and just can't get motivated to continue a world after I create it. Right now... I got a world started, and spawn was the best I've seen. Tons of coal and iron, and exposed emeralds, right next to a cave that goes all the way down to deepslate. All visible right from spawn. I got iron tools and armor, the first day. But now, I just can't get motivated to build anything. 17 days in, and I'm still living in a cave. lol

I’ve found myself writing a journal in minecraft, not about myself, about my character, their experiences and at one point, when my house was lit on fire, had to climb up and retrieve the journal. Overall, I now keep journals in my minecraft worlds and it’s quite fun! Edit: NO WAY I GOT HEARTED WHAT?!

[@ibpants]

I need to get more people watch this. I can just hang out in a world for ages, not even necessarily getting much done, but I join realms that consistently die within a couple of weeks.

[@0P3N54D0R]

What you said here makes me think about how wise you are. Take things slower.

[@YYY66767]

for me technical minecraft is keeping me playing the same world for 1000 hours now. there's always a new farm or contraption to build to give me more items I'll never use but it's just cool to have it there because hoarding in minecraft is fun. right now I'm building a perimeter and it'll have giant sugar cane, cactus, melon, and pumpkin farms in it. so just having giant projects to work on is what keeps me going.

[@starstenaal527]

Hope you don't mind. You earned a new viewer today. Loved listening and seeing what you did in the background of this. Love the hair btw. I try to do a mega-castle with every world I start. Even try building other stuff I've seen in videos. I started in the alpha part of the game. Its amazing how this game has evolved since then. Cheers! 😁

Man, I totally love all what you said ❤ my thoughts as well. I think hermitcraft changed my mentality about how to approach it. Trying to break that now, like the l’ Paul Soars jr early style back before we knew about mob farms lol

[@clampxd7151]

wow what a great chill video this rly inspired me

[@jackjazz8320]

I would say, take break and set goals are the major ones to keep it interesting.

Honestly I never get bored of video games even if playing I'm over and over same goes for Minecraft I just download a bunch of mods and stuff to make it more interesting and hard

Really liked that idea of not playing 6 hours every day, feel like a lot of people do that and knock off tons of advancements a day, but then it doesn't last long. Also adds to the idea of balance when gaming which really helps as sometimes gaming does absorb your life.

Great story dude . Really enjoyed listening

Very good tips! I don't have a long time survival world, but I have a creative town that expand from time to time. I think soon I'll start a survival vanilla ++ world and hope it will last for very long. BTW I don't have a 2-week Minecraft phase, I have 2-week non-Minecraft phase :)

I really am between the seats when it comes to my playstyle. I would love to play survival, but I hate grinding. Whenever I start, I will mine a bit, farm a bit, chop down trees a bit, but then I wanna build stuff. But I have to grind the materials or need better gear to progress / not die every 5 minutes. But even if I have the materials already, I get burned out by building, because it's not working out like I have things in my head. Or I start building, run out of materials and instead of stopping and grinding stuff again, I just cheat stuff into my inventory. I also tried a few creative worlds, but get bored really fast, because... well, I don't know. I guess, not being in survival mode feels kinda boring. I really love watching Minecraft creators doing different things. From Hermitcraft over 100-day-videos to epic building sessions, challenges or whatnot... there is a bit of everything. But when I try to play for myself, I really don't know how to get really into it. I just don't know how to enjoy the game for myself. Every time I start a new world, I think "this time for real", but then I play like a week and abandon it. (Don't get me started about Modding / Modpacks... I tried hundreds)

I've been playing for a while, I play when I can nothing regular but I change to a new world after a couple of updates to refresh. I started over with the Pale Garden since I realized that the new biome would spawn a very very long way away. LOL Exploring is one of my joys for the game, finding stuff.. shipwrecks, desert or jungle temples or just finding something I have never seen in the game. My builds take forever, partly as I suck at them but also because I don't set them as "I must have an Iron farm by day 7" I'll do it eventually. Currently my main goal is to find drip stone and build a couple of farms from that.

some of my ways to try to stay within the game is to add and remove mods and go more slow pace with the game instead of rush my goal isn't to kill the dragon then game over instead i place goals on other things like currently collect all the wolf types get all the cats, explore and build, work on my sky island etc. i do have a short attention span when it comes to games like minecraft if something's not keeping my interest then i drop it so adding new mods or adding things to make stuff more interesting helps me a bit with staying in line

[@chipperhippo]

aw, i don't play mc but this is really endearing

[@andrewmacdonald9417]

I have a long term singleplayer world, for me I would play other games and go back to minecraft. My singleplayer world is 9 years old. started it in 1.8.

[@JGonzZ.]

I've found that putting on music really helps while playing, I somehow stay awake longer with it too lol I personally recommend MF DOOM's Special Herbs albums volumes 1-9 it has a really cool hiphop-lofi-ish kinda vibe
