Avoid Getting Bored Playing Minecraft

Minecraft is a great game, but sometimes it's hard to find things to do while playing. In this article, you'll get some basic ideas on things to do in Minecraft.

Steps

Rediscovering your first enjoyment of the game

  1. Think about what you enjoy in Minecraft and why. This will give you some clue on why you started and kept going with Minecraft. Reminding yourself about what you enjoy and like to do in the game can help direct you to build back on those things, especially if you've been diverted recently by other things in the game.

Changing things up

  1. Find a different server that you can play on. There are a wide range of servers out there, so find one that suits your taste, or even try to find one that you and all your friends can play on as well.
  2. Download a mod. Try the Technic mod pack as its easy to download and includes over a hundred mods!
  3. Play with friends. Challenge each other in all sorts of ways to make it more interesting and fun.

Survival mode

  1. Make a survival world and go exploring or mining in natural caves or ravines. It's surprisingly fun. Turn up the difficulty for some added risk. You'll never get bored exploring your huge infinite world!
    • Gathering resources is an incredibly relaxing thing for some people.
  2. Try to survive in superflat. Open a Superflat world. Make sure you are in survival, with monsters on. The difficulty doesn't matter, as long as it's not peaceful (but if you get tired of all the slimes, peaceful's okay.)
    • Immediately run to the nearest village. Make sure generated structures is on.
    • Chop some logs from the houses, and maybe some of the wheat. Craft them into planks, and make a crafting table.
    • Make a wooden pickaxe, and get some cobblestone from the houses. Don't take too much, though, as if you take too much the villagers won't even recognize the house anymore.
    • Make some stone tools. Make 1x pick, 2x axes, 3x shovels and 2x swords. Also look for a blacksmith, if there is any, and check the chest for anything good. If there are saplings, that is really good because then you can make your tree farm.
    • Keep trying to survive.

Introducing more complex aspects

  1. Find a type of architecture that you enjoy such as Mayan, Chinese or modern. Look up a picture of a building in that style and build it in Minecraft reality.
  2. Make a complicated redstone machine. If you don't want to follow written tutorials, check out a video.
  3. Make something that you've seen in real life. Builds take on an extra "something" when you build something from visual memory.
  4. Aim to have fun. The above suggestions are just a prompt; there are plenty more things to in Minecraft than these, so go explore!

Cheats

  1. Create a new world. Use creative mode, turn cheats "on".
  2. Build a house. Maybe tame a pet too, but most importantly build a house.
  3. Once you've finished your house, place chests inside. Fill them with things like swords, food, and armor. Then make a room of bookshelves, and place an enchantment table to enchant them.
    • You can furnish your house however you want, too.
  4. Once you're done with your house, use the command /gamemode 0. Now you're in survival mode. Go ahead and fight monsters with your enchanted armor and swords. There is much fun to be had when you're already brilliantly prepared.

Install mods

  1. Check out the mods online on YouTube. Many Minecraft YouTubers provide mod reviews. For example: The Minecraft comes alive mod; it makes villagers act like other players.
  2. Choose the mod(s) you like and install them. Most mods requires Forge.
  3. Load your mod(s) into your Minecraft.
  4. Learn to use your mod(s) to give yourself some additional fun! You can always change the mods in your game to make sure it won't be boring. Also install more mods for more fun.

join servers

  1. Go online and find some servers to play if your playing on the iPad then try the life boat server there are four games spleef, survival games (its the same as the hunger games), skywars, and the walls (the walls is temporarily closed) its fun to also make friends with the other players online you can also play and have your friend play as well and when you on the same server its even more fun!

Tips

  • If you're looking to play Multiplayer, don't be a griefer (someone who destroys others Minecraft creations). Try to get involved into some communities and generally just have fun.
  • Don't build anything on servers that breaks the rules. Use your common sense.
