Minecraft is beautifull game. Not because of possibilities it has, but possibilities you have when playing it. Minecraft won`t be a boring game as long as you are not a boring person. If you show at least glimpse of creativity the game repays with endless source of fun
I had numerous occasions to play Minecraft with my friends, but my over-year-lasting adventure in simpliest vanilla server with only 4 people showed me what this game is really about. We had only one rule here - if you build - build pretty. Appreciate look over ergonomics. Nether Portal is not needed 3m away from your bed. Place it somwhere else and make it look nice. This simple rule saved my Minecraft experience from ending. Hope it may save yours!
Please, watch the video and decide whether you are really done with Minecraft.
If you have your own ways to sustain your will to play - share it with us. Maybe someone will follow your path and discover this game potential.
I know this it a bit unrelated, but every server or realm looks the same, everybody builds with cobblestone and wood, which personally i think looks kind of bad. With that being said the thing about minecraft is that it will appeal to a lot of different people, some of them are all about redstone, some about farms, some about raiding dungeons and somebody does a bit of everything.
For example for me it's all about having all the blocks and ingredients easily obtainable and than start building cool stuff, so for example at first my worlds look like weird, cuz u can see incredible farms, super efficents and cool looking, but I live in a dirt house with no roof, than past that stage everything starts taking shape and it's all about aesthetics.
To me prior to 1.13 I played in singleplayer only (1.4.5 [2012] to 1.12.2 [2018], sure LAN play but those players have gone now, I never played on a server or with friends that may have had the game), I watched adventure maps and modded Let's Plays, played only with mods and nothing else, commonly with niche and new mods all through 1.8 to 1.12.2 and had a blast but things were getting stale (they do now still but I'm not as bored as before), I was thinking of giving up on the game, but I wanted to keep my Minecraft knowledge and see what the community had to offer still so I've stayed around a year longer than I wanted to and have continued what I'm doing but also done more in the same areas XD.
After 1.13 (in this year) I still do play with mods but I spotlight them more so than play in my own singleplayer modpacks, I never used to be on survival servers but now I'm on survival servers every so often I feel like it but usually for datapack testing or helping out moderation of a server I'm familiar with due to the admin.Usually for chatting and playing the game but it's fine if I don't have anything else planned besides playing games I have in my backlog.
I have goals for my modpacks I made back then and new ones I made last year and this year, I make maps based on inspirations, from Minecraft wiki info about the game, to mods/datapacks I come across that I've spotlighted before (even the new honey blocks I have one in mind).
If you have new things to play with/set your expectations low with builds or with mods you use or have rules/limitations you can get a lot out of the game. I did the typical with mainstream mods, watching Youtubers and so on. But now I make maps, make forums for Modloaders, make spotlights and visit the Forums everyday (mostly for my Modloader forum threads which are in my signature) but also to help people with mod crashes and other things or to just respond in threads like this one that intrigue me.
The game is great if you know what to do with it. Play it like a typical game and it last a few days, weeks or months, find a creative approach or tons to stick around for and you will play it for years.
