If you're like me, you've frequently found yourself starting a new world in Minecraft, full of excitement about the coming adventure...and suddenly realize that you have no idea what to do. You putter around for a little while, maybe farm a bit, then quit, only to start the whole process over again the next time your get the urge to play Minecraft.
So, I decided to start a Minecraft to-do list-- a collection of goals both mundane and challenging that I hope will guide both you and me through hours of play time.
Suggestions welcome! I'd love to be able to add to my list. :smile.gif:
(Nothing outrageous like 'collect 64 diamond blocks', please. These should be realistic goals that a normal player can reach through enjoying minecraft, not through laboring away tediously collecting cobble or what have you.)
To-Do:
First day:
-Find coal/ make charcoal
-Collect 16 stone and 16 logs
-Make a stone pick
-Make a stone sword
-Make a shelter with a door, a crafting box, a furnace, a chest, a bed (if possible), and at least 2 windows.
Starting out:
-Collect iron
-Make an iron sword
-Make an iron pick
-Make a bow
-Explore a cave and light it up
-Slay a creeper
-Start a wheat farm and surround it with a fence (or put it in a lighted cave).
-Start a reed farm
-Create separate animal pens for sheep, chickens, cows, and pigs.
-Expand your house
Fill in the windows with glass
Add a real roof (if you haven't already)
Put in a wool rug
Create a painting and hang it in your house
Add a separate bedroom and a storage area
Mid-Level:
-Create an outpost on a mountain
-Tame a wolf and build a kennel/ doggy playroom
-Explore an abandoned mineshaft
-Start a melon farm
-Start a pumpkin farm
-Start a cactus farm
-Add a pumpkin scarecrow to your wheat field
-Find a dungeon and create a mob trap around the spawner
-Collect all 3 types of logs
-Start a mine that goes down to level 10 (diamond level )
-Collect at least 10 obsidian
-Create a nether portal room/dias/temple and decorate it
-Go to the nether
-Collect netherrack and glowstone
-Start a netherwort farm
-Build a redstone contraption (hidden staircase, automated farm, etc)
Expand your house/create a new house that includes-
A second floor and/or basement
A living area with fireplace (using netherrack)
A bedroom
A storage area
A library/enchanting room
A potions lab
High-Level:
-Build a ridiculously opulent mansion. Decorating with gold and iron blocks is encouraged.
-Travel at least 200 blocks away from your original base and start a new base
-Create a minecart track connecting your bases
-Make a bridge over a river
-Build a lighthouse beside an ocean
-Find a mushroom biome and create an outpost
-Collect enderpearls to make ender eyes
-Find the stronghold
-Defeat the dragon!!
Please leave suggestions! I know I'm probably missing a lot of things, and I'd like to add some creative and challenging items to the High-level section.
Hmm nice. But this means minecraft has an end. Wasn't is supposed to be a forever taking game?
It doesn't have to end after you beat the dragon. The dragon is just something to work towards-- you know, motivation to go out and collect enough diamonds to make a full suit of diamond armor, that sort of thing.
I have done most of almost all of the mid level stuff. The thing I really want to do on high level is find a mushroom biome but are they almost always in the ocean?
Incredible Man, pretty nice!
I had my own little "To-Do List" too!
A Crafting Room, A kitchen, A Pool, Monster Spawner Trap...That sort of stuff.
Vey nice Post!

INDEED. I was going to make a joke about my Penis. But is too Long.

Well, once you killed the ender dragon, it doesn't necessarily mean it is the end of minecraft. I mean, you can do much, much more once after killing the ender dragon.
Here are some suggestions: Mid level:
- Make a small pound for fishing
- Make a pool
- Make a snowball generator (I'm not that sure that this will work but you can try it out: 1. Make a snow golem and trap him in a "cage" by putting blocks that will surround his head. He will generate snow under him. You can use a shovel to hit those platforms of snow to get snowballs. Then, the snow golem will automatically generate snow under him again!)
High level:
- Make a "underground city"
- Make a huge fortress that is used to support villagers.
- Make a song that can be played by hitting a button. Then, the button will activate the redstone that will be used to make a tune come out of note blocks.

GENERATION 27: The first time you see this, copy it into your sig on any forum and add 1 to the generation.
This is the list I am currently using. It is a more technical-type list, since that is what I do. Concerns redstone. A lot of redstone.
Letters correspond to priority:
B=When absoutely out of ideas
N=Do it, but not priority
M=Top priority, must finish first
Farms
Auto sugarcane farm N
Auto cactus farm B
All colored sheep farm M
High Altitude Mob trap (preferably far away so no eyesores xD) N
Slime farm (sticky pistons) M
Blaze XP farm N
Enderman farm N
Auto pumpkin and watermelon farm M
Animal farm, barn. (only chickens, cows and pigs) M
Zombie Pigman farm (for lots of gold) B
Iron Golem farm (for lots of iron) B
Non functional items
Train station (for connecting bases) N
Ice base B
Floating Nether base M
Find Stronghold, Kill dragon N
Build a nice house (i build functional towns, my "house" is just a hut with a bed in it)(by functional, i mean, no buildings are useless) B
Build non-fuctional, nice looking village. Preferably populated with villagers B
Vault for diamonds, iron and gold B
CAAAKKKEEEE!!!!! MMMMMMMM
Underwater base B
Lots of TNT cannons B
Rollercoaster B
Day/night sensor for lighting town (if you have one) N
Some people really need to stay away from the government propaganda department. Let the brain-washing machines have a day off, they must need maintenance by now.
Given that I use the DNS tech pack, (which I strongly recommend, by the way) my first steps are usually the following.
a} Find a ravine and get to lava. Do some basic mining in the process.
b} Get a lava pump/basic geothermal power setup, as well as my first small refinery with IndustrialCraft.
- This is a video I made, showing a few different geothermal setups.
c} Get to the Nether, and get the glowstone to make my Philosopher's Stone, and then my Transmutation Tablet. This guide will get you up to speed with EE.
d} Do lots of mining, particularly for diamonds and uranium, as they are both worth lots of EMC. I need a million or so to make my first replicator flower.
e} Get my replicators set up.
- This is a video from The Sucky Gamer, about how to set up replicators with Equivalent Exchange. I've done testing, and this is the most efficient replicator layout I've been able to find.
f} Start replicating the raw materials for my big Redpower2 builds, or an auto crafting system with Logistics Pipes. These can be frame based things, like a mining machine, or they can be sorting machines etc. I will usually also upgrade to the Redpower2 pump for my geothermal power. These recipes are extremely expensive, however, so I generally like to be producing red matter with Equivalent Exchange, before I start replicating the raw materials I need in order to craft them.
A cobblestone generator is also usually one of my earliest projects; although you will need at least three iron for a bucket, and to have lava. I build with a lot of cobble, and I don't usually quarry, so a generator is generally necessary for me.
The 3x3 design shown here, is the default first model I'll use. It isn't the most efficient design around, but before I get block breakers, it works well enough. It's also simple to build, and I like the man who made that video. Once I'm established a bit, I'll generally do something computer controlled with breakers, but you can't do that straight up.
I beat the wither, beat the ender dragon, got the pointless dragon egg, have a huge castle and two other bases (a mining one, and one near my stronghold) and got an almighty upgarded beacon.... anyone have an idea on what i could do next?
So, I decided to start a Minecraft to-do list-- a collection of goals both mundane and challenging that I hope will guide both you and me through hours of play time.

I don't find that to be difficult. That should be mid-level.
Defeat the Enderdragon on Hardcore mode with large biomes, no cheats, no starter chest.
This is on my bucket list.
