Can you guys give me objectives for minecraft because i dont really know what to do at the moment with my world, and if you are hosting a survival games kind of thing put your gamertag below.
I just gather materials until I get an idea, I've got an automatic farmer, huge 20x20x64 Quarry with a minecart that as of this posting goes the entire length of two map sides (1024 each side), built underground house, and garden, and a couple of flags 15x20 with wool. Basically it is legos but a videogame.
I'm building a rail network at 26 blocks above sea level. It started at my huge pyramid in the center of the map (that I made with all the excess cobblestone that I mined) at sea level and climbs up to 26, then it runs flat all the way to almost the bottom of the map, turns and goes all the way to the bottom left corner of the map where I have another home and a station.
Next, I'm building from the "L" to the other side of the map, the bottom right corner where I have another home. So when I'm done with this leg, I'll have about 1.5 km of elevated rail done. My ultimate goal is to encircle the entire perimeter of the map with this rail network. That's 4 km of rail - a lot of iron, a lot of gold for the powered rail, and a LOT of cobblestone and time spend crouching and walking right on the edge to place each new block. LOL
It's kinda boring and repetitious obviously... and I'm starting to wonder why I'm bothering, since it's really so easy to just WALK from house to house... but it was just a challenge I decided I had to tackle and take on... and I can't stop now after I've gone so far!
I also have sub-projects. One is finding a single block of clay. That takes time to explore and search. Another project is to make a full 64 stack of each color of dyed wool. That takes a lot of "sheep punching" and stuff... 16 colors times 64 is about 1000 blocks of white wool I need to collect. The dyes are pretty easy to gather, except for ink sacs from the squid. Luckily, I have plenty of gray, light gray and black wool just from the sheep spawning those colors. I don't need as much black dye.
Of course, the standard, everyday project is just to go down into my branch mining system at bedrock and put some quality pickaxe time in. As I've mentioned elsewhere, my specialty seems to be clearing out lava lakes one block at a time, turning it all to obsidian and mining it all up. I had 2500+ blocks of obsidian inside my pyramid. For what reason, I do not know... but such is the world of minecraft I guess.
I can tell I'm either gonna get bored with it all at some point, or burn out or get sick of playing so much. When it happens, I'll just move my ADD **** on to something else in life. As always. haha
Flatten entire world, upload to internet, profit???
Of course I thought of that right away... but then I took it one step beyond... mine every last block in the game right down to bedrock and store it all in about 10,000 double chests scattered around the "floor". Make a big "retaining wall" at all four map edges to keep the ocean at bay. 64 blocks tall. Then sop up all the interior ocean blocks with gravel or sand one section at a time. Same for lava. Turn it to obsidian and mine it all.
It's completely possible and do-able. If I had about a decade, I'm sure I could do it.

I'm doing the same thing pretty much but underground with TNT. For placing blocks above just turn around and crouch walk backwards while holding left trigger down

Yeah I finally figured that out the other day. Took me long enough. hahaha Elevated rail construction pace has accelerated noticeably. Thanks for advice.

Now THAT would be something to see.
