What helped me is refusing to delete my world, even when I’ll take half a year break from it. I’ll get nostalgia over my own world and have continuous progress over time. Having written goals (both short and long term) and not overly judging your creative ideas (something adults do and kids don’t) help a lot as well.

I had the same realization several months back and I've had a different outlook on the game ever since. I had to realize that when my physical health was declining, I had to let go of the game. Even when it was hard and I just wanted to play... But once I got to feeling a little better, I came back. I then realized that Minecraft is an expansion of my own imagination. That Minecraft is a blank canvas waiting for a touch of creativity. Minecraft is a sandbox game, and people don't treat it as such resulting in burn out. There's more to it than defeating the ender dragon and killing the wither, it's a part of your journey on a more grander scale. It's your story...

I think what is also important about enjoying Minecraft again is to not immediately kill the Ender Dragon. Because now out days, people on KZfaq just immediately kill the Ender Dragon. So I recommend to not do that. I recommend you take your journey rather slow and patient. Sometimes fighting the Ender Dragon is for the middle part of your Journey, not the start. Don't go for the Speed running style, go for the slow paced out style instead.

I've started a survival world recently and have been enjoying it, to take things slow and watch Hermittcraft Season 10 (which gave me a lot of inspiration). I think a problem a lot of people have is like you said thinking about the future too much and getting disappointed when things don't go there way. People often watch KZfaq videos of those 100 hardcore days and think they can do it within a week when those types of videos and build takes arguably a month or so at least. I had this mindset and it really sets you up for failure. But doing things like making a Starter base and stuff while not rushing the game for fully enchanted full netherite is nice.

Trying out modpacks can really help allot, I love playing Tekkit lite due to the many extra things that the mods add to the game. One of the best convenience mods they have is the tree feller mod, it makes it so much less of a hassle to gather lots of wood (you can later on make entirely automated farms, but this one is really nice to make the start less painful). A few weeks ago, I made a nice discovery. Using two different machines (compressors and pulverisers), you can pretty much make an endless sand generator (the compressor turns sand into sandstone and the pulveriser turns sandstone into two blocks of sand). Made a loop where the machines feed into each other, the excess sand from them gets transported via pipes to a storage unit.

Being one of the first 100 subscribers of what will clearly be a much bigger channel in the future is so epic, keep it up WanCraft!

My big problem is that main game progression for me is so damn fast. I made my world and literally the next day I beat the ender dragon, got an elytra, got full enchanted gear, and 1 day of playing later, it was all netherite and trimmed. And now, with only like 6 days of playing, I have a massive farm for villager trading and a almost completed beacon. I progress so fast and whenever I don’t I feel like I’m missing things and it makes it less enjoyable to not have them, but idk what to do after progressing that far, when I make a base idk how to expand it in a way that I actually feel motivated to, I wanna make my base a large village but idk how to make the houses feel important.

87 subs only? thats actually crazy amazing vid lad, helped me out :) I hope you grow because your videos are VERY good.

Much better video than all of those "minecraft is boring" "It's not the same" stuff its terrible and it's far far more the people who play the game's fault than the game it's self, take a brake more games it's ok to get bored or be done with a game but them saying it's not fun anymore is because they can find it fan don't know how too and or are done with the game for now, thanks for not being like these people.

Nice video, getting a sub. for future me this was typed on April 27th 2024 when the channel still had 135 (including me)

For me I just enjoy the game cuz of friends playing with me, before in the beginning I didn’t have a Microsoft account for bedrock edition so I just played with a guest account so I was used to being alone but now since I have friends to play with and and a Microsoft account too, my enjoyment with singleplayer isn’t as fun as it used to be, I just realize how much more fun it is with friends, the only time I play singleplayer now is if it’s in a building test world for my builds that need planning or just building for fun in creative, I haven’t made a survival world in so long not even a singleplayer one, I don’t think I ever will…. Well until the update comes out I’m making a hardcore duo world but that’s multiplayer so yeah different story. Anyways I realized my path on how I play Minecraft and enjoy it, building, chill, slow paced and with friends! Just like the saying goes… “It’s always more fun with friends!”

i experienced the same realization recently!

Thank you so much!

Your words of wisdom are truly inspiring. From my perspective, they apply to much more than just a game made of voxels. Thank you for reiterating what I needed to hear once more.

i think you made a really good video. but personally all of the points you mentioned havent really made the game more enjoyable for me. i feel like the reason i enjoyed the game so much was because i was younger and also because minecraft was completely foreign to me, so what was fun was the journey of discovering this game, but now that ive played this game for 12 years now, nothing is completely new. im not trying to criticize your video, but i just wanted to give my perspective.

Loved it!

I am such a big fan for your channel

This video was genuinely amazing, it really made me think about how I play the game and what I can do to make it more fun and interesting, I don't like many videos on this site but this video was special. Thank you.

I can't understand why I can't enjoy Minecraft...back to 2015 I always enjoy this game. Now I can't enjoy it😢

there was a lot of things that you said that are applicable to real life. that was pretty good

Holy shit I was just thinking about the production of a video on this very topic

I usually feel bored when im really hungry so remember eat food

Fuck yeah, bro.

this really helps.

Thanks you though

My reason is bad and long buildings😭😭 When I start a survival world in Minecraft,I get bored because I can't build

im moving away and starting a new base now

I have lost so many worlds due to my pc replacing and clearing up spaces... 😭😭😭I also never could defeat ender dragon once while playing survival even though i am playing minecraft since 2019

Hi

Bro can we become friends plzzz

honestly for me just remove bedrock and put the legacy edition back or just for me to be able to play it on pc on java for me to enjoy it it needs to not be bugged asf like bedrock absolute downfall despite being the most popular version and shaders maybe even mods like rlcraft and stuff but honestly bedrock ruined it for me

If you bored playing minecraft you boring.

Thank you so much!
