I'm a long time player and have always loved the game, however..
Recently Minecraft (Xbox especially) has become really boring. Any suggestions? Building ideas? Extreme builds (have a 100,000 block cathedral already)? Challenges?
I play Minecraft on my Xbox, iPad, iPhone, Macbook, and Dell Laptop (if that matters).
The whole thing that keeps Minecraft interesting is the constant updates with new and better additions. Once 1.8.2 is out you'll be energized again. I mean... come on... Melons... Melons.
To me it sounds like you have just playing it too much lately. I would just stop playing it for a while until you get that MC itch back. I am in that bored funk myself and have shut MC down until the update comes out. That way I won't be so burnt out from playing it a lot and when the update comes out there will be all sorts of new things to play with in the game.

Constant updates on Xbox? Ha. I agree, I can't wait for the new stuff (new for Xbox) to come out.

I haven't been playing recently, except a bit of Tekkit on my Mac. Should probably give it a week..
What if you played in the same map until you pretty much harvest all resources, and just keep building things? I'm looking forward to creative mode because if I don't like the map i'm currently on, I don't have to worry about building up a ton of resources, and have to get them again in a new map. With creative, I can just focus on building and if I see a good map seed online, I can start a new map and just start building right away.
Minecraft is like Solitare. No two games are alike and there's billions of combinations. You can play the current version of MC forever cause it's so open-ended. However, you can get bored playing any game if you play it too much. MC, the game itself, isn't boring- you got bored with it.
If the "updates" are all that keeping the game "interesting" for you, it's time for another game.
Play Skyrim until the update comes out. Cause honestly, I'm done with Minecraft since there's nothing fun to do anymore. 1.8.2 will be fun cause now I have to start a new world and go fortress hunting
Instead of building things, maybe get a few friends together for a game of Capture The Flag. You all put your beds on your own side of the field, so when an enemy player kills you you spawn back on your own side, or maybe put the bed somewhere way behind your side of the field so the other team has a chance to actually get to your flag. You each keep a chest with the "Flags" in them, and when an enemy player gets it and puts in their team's chest, they get a point, and win that round.

^This^ If you spend your life just waiting for someone else to hand you new things, then nothing can keep you interested for very long.
Since you mentioned PC, if it's challenge you're looking for, there's a total conversion mod based around making survival more survival like call Terra FIrma Craft. It's simple to install and there's so many changes it's like playing a different game.

I actually do play multiple games, probably around 10-15 a week. Minecraft is my favorite though.
