I have one 2 years old survival world I play and I would say that advice is to CREATE new worlds. I'm constantly starting a lot of new worlds with different chalanges (flatworld, skyblock, beta ect.) on the side and after few days of playing these worlds I going back to my main world with new ideas and double motivation to make something big.

One of the biggest things imo is don’t compare your world to others but instead learn to appreciate your own creativity

One tip I have: if you want to restart, you can put everything you have in a chest. Then grab a stack of rockets and an elytra and just fly as long as you can. Then simply burn the elytra when you land and you basically have started again, without creating a new world

the "play how you want" bit really resonated with me... i remember in my old worlds, whenever i died and lost all my stuff, it took all the steam out of me. no rage quitting, just...respawning and being like "wow. i have nothing now". it'd be really hard for me to keep going. and then one day... i realized it didn't matter it wasn't the "real" way to play minecraft, and i just turned on keep inventory. i've been having a ton of fun ever since :]

Quick tip if your neurodivergent! The "make large goals" doesn't always work. I constantly have large ideas but I freak out and don't even start them because it's too much. Turn one goal into 10. Rather than "Make base centerpiece" with an elaborate drawing, try breaking it into "Build archway, build fountain, add lights" and enjoy each little goal. It's easy to lockup when you want to start on everything at once

2:40 A similar thing happened to me in my realm. We had a "government" building where we voted on things for the realm and it was nearly all wood. Lightning hit it while we were busy fighting a raid and couldnt put it out. Instead of being upset we replaced the burned planks with dark oak and wrote minecraft books about 'The scorch of 376'. Having that history and seeing the mark of that event on the realm motivates us to keep playing and more importantly, made us realize that bad things were not bad but gave us chances to make up lore for the world.

As a serial "world quitter" I am interested in what you have to say.

[GooseEnthused]

One of the things that has positively effected my enjoyment is turning on keep inventory. Maybe for some people it spoils the fun but for me I hate losing my stuff because I fell in lava, or losing my base because I can’t find my way home. Being able to jump off a cliff and be right back at my base without losing anything is so nice. The game rules are there for a reason, you’re meant to adjust to to what you find fun!

[tomasgambin]

Making out "lore" of out minecraft or basically any game of this kind is my best motivation. It feels like your world is alive

[sewykik]

One thing that helps for me: focus on the little things and the small details. Don’t bite off more than you can chew- sometimes the most satisfying thing is making a small little area look fantastic.

I started a multiplayer survival server for my kids and my best friend's kids when they were pretty young, over 12 years ago. They stopped playing and my friend and I kept building. Now, two of my kids are married and they and their partners have started to play on the server again. I can only imagine how cool it will be when they have kids, and they start playing...yes, we have tons of resources, including a fully automated rail system I built using command blocks. But occasionally, I just head out into the wild with nothing. So many options! So much still to do!

[starlitstreet]

I think a big reason superflat and skyblock worlds get such big builds is because there isn't much else to focus on than what you've made. No distractions, just you, your resources, and your aspirations.

[lily_littleangel]

The biggest hurdle for me is the midstage, when you don't have to worry about survival stuff like food or basic shelter but also don't have the best tools and most efficient ways to get resources yet, nor do you have a really big base or other area setup where you can chip away at tasks.

[mrcolz]

Another pro-tip for lack of motivation:
When building, make sure everything has a purpose. If you want to build a large castle, make sure it can actually defend you from threats, especially on a server. If you want to make a town/city, have it house villagers and start a "free range villager farm, " this is so every project actually has a useful purpose with a good aesthetic on top of it.

The BIG thing that makes me keep playing is not being afraid to "cheat" in the world. At the moment, I always have keep inventory on and I keep the world in peaceful but let myself switch to easy or normal when I want to farm hostile mobs. Yeah, it makes it a lot easier for me, but I played Minecraft for 7 years without those changes and I felt like deleting my world every time I died and lost everything. It just makes it so much more fun for me and I don't have to deal with constantly battling mobs when I'm mining, which I already find tedious.

[lvncee]

2:58 this section honestly made me feel better about playing survival on peaceful. I personally find that I usually have more motivation to build and mine in survival without pesky mobs, plus I find that my builds turn out better on creative mode. I like gathering my own materials and I like the challenge of not being able to fly around while building something huge

Old man at the shop likes to say “The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, the 2nd best time is right now.” Its never too late to start a long term world. I’ve had my long term world for a few years now and just finished building the Alamo in a 1:1 scale as a village

Something I can personally recommend when it comes to massive projects: Obviously the part of the project we all look forward to is the actual project itself, but sometimes it can require a bit of grinding (Like digging out a massive perimeter) but if you remember to do a bit of building and a bit of grinding in moderation. For me, I can only play about 2-4 hours of Minecraft at the end of my night, so sometimes I'll just throw on my favorite music and let my brain turn off to do nothing but mine resources for a playsession. Sure, I'm not creating much, but I have the knowledge that the resources I'm mining are going to come in extremely handy later! Just try not to burn yourself out... Moderation is key!

Anti-enderman grief should be a gamerule by itself, It's so useful and leaves you stress-free knowing that all the terraforming you do remains untouched and beautiful still.
