Why you don't find Minecraft Fun anymore

Enjoy!

[justinquiring]

I’ve noticed a lot of people who complain about the game, particularly ones who complain about the game being too easy, are people who have played the game for a very long time. When you first pick up the game, there are so many unknowns and trials one must do to survive. Years later, it becomes trivial to do survive and do all those things. Years of playing, wiki reading, YouTube tutorials, and everything. When you are focused on the challenge, but you have already mastered that challenge, it gets boring. That’s why in Minecraft you make your own objectives. If you focus on one goal that is trivial to your mastery, you will never get anything out of it.

For me personally: it doesn’t feel like a sandbox anymore, I find myself enjoying older minecraft a lot more simply because you can feel free to do whatever, but ever since the sculk update: I feel as though its gone down hill, maybe I just don’t enjoy it anymore

it's hard for me to do stuff like that because I'm not very creative. I've had an idea recently to make a *humane* village spanning a whole Jungle biome with all the different kinds of villager professions.
But other than that idea I've got nothing, there's a good chance I'll quit the world after that.

minecraft is still fun, y'all are just bored and don't know what do do or dont have the time to do it

[locosword]

People wondering why the game they’ve been playing for over a decade without changing how they play isn’t fun anymore.

It could be a bit psicotic idk, but i think thats for life too, dont live just grinding for the end, do whatever makes you happy, you will die no matter what you do, this doesn't mean that you have no responsibilitys or something else, do your things, respect others, work, study, but dont let it be all boring, dont let money stop you, if lifes boring for you, then you are boring, cause i went outside for a walk alone or with friends with 0 money for years and i lived experiences that i will never forget

Real reason is because you've been playing the same game for years, anybody would get bored.

[Houndnwolf]

It’s too much, I think.

I want to play Minecraft. Like explore the world and build structures and make the world feel like my own. And I can do that…for around a month before I lose interest. I’m not playing the game in a boring way, so why do I still get bored and stop playing?

I think it's a problem with the games balance and the design of some features, and I disagree with the "If you don't like it don't use it" approach.
I don't like villages, so I try to ignore them. Emphasis on try. Villages spawn obnoxiously frequent, there are five all within a short horse ride from my base. Its frustrating trying to play the game the way I like when the game is constantly handing me the solution to all my problems on a silver platter.

I don't like villager trading, elytras, or mending either. So I'm not supposed to use those right? But what even are my options? Grinding for enchantments at an enchanting table? Building ridiculously slow mine cart tracks? Just being content that my armor trimmed fully enchanted netherite gear is just going to crumble to dust eventually? I might as well be playing 1.8 because those features haven't changed since they were added, and are seriously showing their age within the modern game.

Minecraft is a survival game as much as a sandbox one, player are meant to use the tools provided to them. It's not the responsibility of the player base to design the game so they can have fun. It's a problem with the game, not the community. The fact that videos like this keep being made prove that.

I think minecraft would be a lot more fun if they changed their game progression. Boredom would still be a problem but it would help a lot if you didn't have do mine or trade with villagers for your gear (both are incredibly boring). Terraria and Don't Starve (2 of my favorite survival games) allow you to get better gear through bosses and exploration, and sometimes with games like don't starve you'll use hambats and football helmets for most of the game. Although Terraria has an ending, you don't reach moon lord at the same time as the ender dragon. In fact I would compare the ender dragon to the evil biome bosses in time to kill. Maybe Minecraft should add a boss that you can kill relatively earlier in the game OR make the ender dragon the boss you kill relatively early on into the game. So that the players can build cool stuff but still have some goal to accomplish. This would allow servers that die in a week to last double the time. Also Minecraft bosses suck and definently need a change. If you prepare for the Edragon then you are overprepared. Potions are really only used in pvp.

For me the newer textures made minecraft look like you need the best stuff and can't emagine playing on 1.18+ I like to play on older versions. It feels like it's too hard to get good stuff so i focuse on building

[PikkelP]

minecraft has become a game where you have to think very hard about game design and then make your own rules to exclude certain features from your experience. it can be hard to realize that a certain feature ruins the game for you, and even harder to think of a way to fix it. it requires deep self-reflection and dedication to the game. you'll also have to struggle with the temptation to break the rule and it gets WAY harder in multiplayer, when, for example, someone who builds an iron farm offers you a free stack of iron, while you wanted to mine everything by hand.
it is the game developers who should try to craft an engaging experience for the player, that is balanced to encourage play styles that are fun. but more and more, this job was pushed onto the players themselves in minecraft and not everyone has good judgement of game design. also, new/returning/casual minecraft players won't realize what they have to do and just get bored, thinking "seems like i've outgrown minecraft"
this is actually the reason i went back to playing minecraft beta 1.7.3 and earlier versions. these are the last versions of the game where the game design was more or less completely coherent. later versions started to lose focus more and more.

Welp time to go to terraria..

Nevermind Ima stick with both games

[Lbozofr]

This is so true thank you get a free subscriber I'm going to play Minecraft bye😢

[ItsMadLadSir]

Alternative title: I want a piece of this clickbait, so I will follow the common trend of trying to make a game seem different because it’s old and famous.

[joan_of_craft]

I hear the whole "you're making it boring for yourself" thing with starfield a lot. The difference between minecraft and starfield is that minecraft gives you the tools to be creative, while starfield is pretty empty and is missing any of those tools.

Alternative title: Stop playing the game that mojang updates constantly, stop using that, stop using this .
Like bruh if you telling me to avoid using game mechanics to not make the game bad then that the game's fault not the gamer's

[Monke_]
