Is minecraft survival getting boring for you (me? Mods wont fill me for my boredness). Lets dicuss about minecraft and boring. There might be something that attracts you back to minecraft again, and another thing, and another thing, but in the end you leave then come back then leave then come back and repeat.
I need to get onto the comp before i can set up the poll. Expect it tomorow
And some random craziness-

Master of darkness and light, bound to no element, this entity is ruthless, cruel, but fair, when he looks at you he sees your whole soul, and if your heart is tipped to the darkness, or to the light, run, and hope he doesn't think you're worthy....
Yes because I can't remember one recipe... Pistons... D: Its so difficult... One day... I will make a ****ing elevator and I wont have to walk up 5 Flights of stairs just to craft a Recipe... Though the stairs look good...
If I get bored, I usually just a take a break for a month or so. Brings the interest back whenevr I play it again. And I've always just used creative for test builds.
Currently I'm stuck on what to work on next... so its a bit boring, but I've got a lot that I want to do, so it just takes a bit of time and I'll figure it out. In the meantime I watch LP videos and that helps to get ideas. For example, now I'm kind of interested in playing survival maps... so I might play some of those from time to time in-between projects on my main map.

Or you could put a crafting table at the bottom of the stairs? ;D
I do love playing with redstone though, never gets boring.
I think jeb is making minecraft too easy. Think about it.
1) Reach range increased so you can hit enemies from farther away
2) Armor buffed so it doesn't decrease in quality
3) Enchantments that make it easier to kill enemies
4) Auto health regen
5) Caves made extremely common so ores are easy
6) Ore rate buff
7) Endermen nerfed to move less blocks
8) Trading system added so you don't need to mine or hunt
9) Protection systems added (iron and snow golems)
10) Enchantments that protect you
11) Animal breeding=infinite food
12) Sheep wool regrowth=infinite wool
13) Cats that keep creepers away
14) Rare items such as cocoa beans are easier to get
15) Bows buffed to be stronger
etc...
This is what's making it boring for me. NO CHALLENGE.

This is what's making it boring for me. NO CHALLENGE.
But this is all just stuff that stems naturally from continually developing the game right? For example, Cocoa beans. To me it seems odd that you can find cocoa beans in a dungeon chest, but NOT plant and grow them. I'm relatively new to the game. I haven't seen a major update to it in the time I've been playing. Massive biomes and growing cocoa beans in the latest snapshot is the most change I've seen...
Massive biomes alone will make the game more challenging. In my new world where I implemented the snapshot I haven't actually seen a different biome. I spawned in extreme hills and I'm still there. Granted, I haven't specifically traveled, but still... if I want sand, it's hard to get in large quantities without messing up the shores of the lakes and such around me.
And as they keep adding things that make it a bit easier (growing cocoa plants) I'm sure that they will also add new MOBs and other dangers. Maybe they will add traps to dungeons and such.
What is so great about this game is what others have said... there is so much that you can do in it, it takes much, much longer to get boring. I posted yesterday that I wasn't sure what to do next... and last night I decided to find another NPC village because mine was abandoned... so I did some travelling and found one! I fenced it in, lit up the entire fenced area, added missing doors, went ahead and built an Iron Golem, and now I'm working on the portal room deep under the chapel... it will of course be Nether themed, made out of nether brick with perma-fires and lava everywhere.
I'm not touching redstone mechanics in the future, but still there are still areas that I haven't explored in my realm. (I still remember that cave+Abandoned Mineshaft complex that I still need to completely explore, ugh.)
That, and I've decided to give a Creative touch to Survival.
Not to mention that I still have a Mushroom Island to explore as well.
And that's all just in Vanilla.
I might check out Biome Mods in the future. Hoping that it doesn't ruin the Vanilla saves I have.
Some points you guys mention are fixed in the weekl snapshots. Eg you can grow cocoa plants now. And if I may suggest a mod, TWILIHT forest. It's awesome. And NO IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE BOOK OR MOVIE.
It's not the game that's boring...it's you. The game was never fun in the first place. It's the imagination and creativity of the player that makes it fun. If it's boring, it's cuz you're unimaginative.
It's never Minecraft's fault it is your imagination that makes how you look or feel of Minecraft. If you have a boring imagination it wont be fun at all. If you thought creative was boring, I can see how you get the feel of boring. If you want Minecraft to be more interesting change the way you look at things you make.
I find the entire thing gets more interesting if you make some youtube episodes even if nobody ever sees them. It's fun to talk about the game while you are playing it, and great to look back over some of those surprises that make you yell in fear, frustration or anger.
Also trying to look outside of the box can bring something back to life again, set yourself a challenge.
Try to travel as much as possible before you settle down in one place. See how hard it is to make decisions about what to carry and what to leave behind. Then when you settle in a place after you have built it up etc, try and seperate away from it, make it final, flee in the night and burn the place to the ground, take a boat and go to a new island or run into the forest at night...fleeeeee
Haha, I was going to post something like that until I read yours. No need to repeat then I guess.
But to add to that, I found it helpful to also play community made maps (personally, it was Super Hostile). Sometimes with just how.. open to options Minecraft is, and how much you can do, it can either be overwhelming to the point of boredom from (again) too many options, or, you could spend hours upon hours playing the game every single day *Cough Cough*. I guess it really depends on the person in question who is playing.
Having a set goal (in the case of Super Hostile, Completing the Monument) is somewhat.. relaxing. Even though the map is trying to kill you, it's nice to know that you have a clear objective to do, but obstacles make it a fun (or frustrating, again, depends on the person) challenge.
That's my take on the topic.

And maybe Jeb is listening - one of his recent tweets said he restored the golden apples to their original recipe.
