Minecraft is a big game with a big community, so it's expected there's some people who do some "weird" or "insane" things in it. Are there any things you do in Minecraft that other people don't do or very little do? It's a very simple question. Even if you feel multiple other people do it or you've even seen others doing it, do share unless you see it really really often.
For me, I like using survival tools (pickaxes, axes, shovels, etc.) and stacks of blocks to build, even in a superflat world. I commonly use TooManyItems or NotEnoughItems to get the stacks of items I want. I really do this just because I like old Minecraft and the "nostalgic" feeling I get from doing so.
I've quitted minecraft a few months ago. It got boring for me, so I quitted. So I don't play the game. I moved on to other stuff that is actually important such as school, homework, family stuff, etc.

Congratulations, you get the 'Funniest Joke of the Day Award'.
I fill in caves that are nearby, or worse are connected directly to, my builds. If I'm supremely unlucky, it takes months of grind and further buildwork to get enough material to fill them in.
Leaving aside trivial responses (eg actually liking the way large cobble builds look);
I play with a second computer running that I use to take notes (text editor) and record coordinates (spreadsheet) both because my sessions are frequently interrupted and because I most it most displeasing to be unable to find things. [The in-game book & quill is insufficient to my purposes.]
In game, something I've not seen elsewhere is to add "compass roses".
My version is a "T" shape (generally 13 high & 9 wide; bottom of stem pointing North) with lit ends and intersection floating high in the sky for visibility; Y=127 unless in Extreme hills or mountain biomes.
These both locate the local base and provide a directional fix any time I have a sky view of them.
[I try to run with f3 off, but the inability to clearly locate things or identify lighting glitches without it makes this difficult. A better compass, editable signs, and cleaning up the lighting engine would be greatly appreciated.]

WARNING: I have an extemely "grindy" playstyle; YMMV — if this doesn't seem fun to you, mine what you can from it & bin the rest.
In my case it would be the amount of caving that I do - most players just do enough caving to get the resources that they need; on the other hand, I've collected millions of resources in one world, hundreds of thousands in others. In fact, I've explored practically every single cave, ravine, and mineshaft under what is likely most of an entire 1.6.4-style continent (I've reached ocean on most sides, except for the northwest and southeast):
Even in a single play session I easily collect 3,000 or more ores and other resources (and have been doing so for many years, if not all in the same world); I've even modded the game to add "stats" to the inventory screen so I can easily see how much I've collected and other statistics for the current play session:
All of this is just for fun; I branch-mine to get the resources I need early on and avoid caving until the "end-game", which is pretty much just that, and I just see the resources collected as a byproduct of caving (I do use some, such as coal for torches and fuel or rails for railways to link my bases together).
Another thing unusual about my playstyle is the total lack of farms, besides basic ones like (manual) crop farms; I don't even have a simple dungeon-based XP farm (the XP I get from mining and killing naturally spawned mobs meets all my needs many times over; when I make my gear I get the XP I need by mining quartz, When I find a dungeon I just destroy the spawner, with a few exceptions, like when I found an Enderman dungeon in a modded world, and I only used it to collect enough Ender pearls to get to the End), much less resource farms (when you have collected over half a million iron an iron farm seems a bit silly; past the early game the only thing I use iron for is the occasional anvil and trapped chests and all the iron I've used would take 3-4 sessions to replace).

Sure fam jam, it is funny

TheMasterCaver's First World - possibly the most caved-out world in Minecraft history - includes world download.
TheMasterCaver's World - my own version of Minecraft largely based on my views of how the game should have evolved since 1.6.4.
Why do I still play in 1.6.4?
Using commands, command blocks, and MCEdit in survival mode to cheat.

Making mobs fight each other and testing out items in Creative... and nothing else. I haven't played Survival in almost three years.
I make skybases. Nobody does that anymore, not even in Factions.
But who plays factions anymore...
PVP Legend
I build ramps so animals/villagers can climb out of holes/water they are stuck in.
