Now that Minecraft's developer Mojang is a subsidiary of Microsoft, it opens up new avenues for a sequel. Although the thought has been entertained, it appears as if Microsoft has no plans to make the game into a series. Instead, spin-off games like Minecraft: Story Mode and Minecraft Dungeons have carried on the Redstone torch. Still, there's no shortage of fun things to occupy oneself with while playing.
Not all gamers are seeking high excitement or thrills. Sometimes, it's better to chill out with the relaxing gameplay these titles have to offer.
Minecraft is one of the best-selling games of all time. Outside of mining and building are perilous places like the Nether world and the End. In Survival, players must forage to survive an onslaught of mobs and starvation. For players who have logged countless hours into the game already and are seeking other things to do, here are some amusing options for those bored and eager for new Minecraft experiences.
Updated August 16, 2024 by Ben Painter: The new Minecraft update, 1.21 Tricky Trials is out for gamers to explore. The new structure, the Trail Chamber, focuses on combat, but this may get boring after doing a few.
If players have checked out all of the new features in the update, then they may find themselves bored with the blocks. Minecraft is a game with lots to do, and with no real plot, it is up to the player to make their own fun. This update adds five more ideas on things to do when bored in Minecraft.
With over 1,000 different blocks (and all their variations) in Minecraft, it's a big task to collect one of every block. Some blocks, like Dirt or Stone, will be a piece of cake, but there are some, such as the Sponge, Dragon Egg, and even Snowy Grass that are very difficult to obtain.
Once the player has done the near-impossible task of acquiring one of every block, then they could design some museum or display to house their collection. Being bored in Minecraft will be a thing of the past with this mission, which will require venturing into every biome, dimension, and deep underground.
A game is nothing without a good lore behind it. Minecraft doesn't have a lot of lore. There are hints with some mobs and structures, but largely it is up to the player to fill the gaps.
Gamers bored with vanilla Minecraft biomes should try these fantastic biome mods that drastically change the game.
To help build a more immersive world, players could invent their own lore and create builds that fit in with the new story they have crafted. Things like ancient ruins of a civilization from the past, alien spaceships that have crash-landed, or an infected city with a sprawl of fungus. It is up to the players the direction they take, but the more work put into building the lore, the better and more in-depth the Minecraft world will become.
Another thing to deter the boredom in Minecraft is to re-create some famous landmarks from around the world. The Great Wall of China, the Eiffel Tower, or the Roman Colosseum would be awesome buildings to see replicated in blocky form. It would take some serious materials and time to do, however.
Perhaps gamers could head in the direction of only creating a landmark that they have seen in person, acting as somewhat of a digital scrapbook. The landmarks don't even have to be any famous ones, maybe ones from around the player’s hometown.
There are some tough battles in the game, the Ender Dragon, the Wither, and the new Trail Chambers in update 1.21, which feature tons of mobs like the new Breeze and Bogged Skeleton.
Minecraft is a bit limited on the magical front, but these magic mods for Mojang's sandbox masterpiece are the perfect spice to remedy that.
To counter this, the best set of armor needs to be crafted to give the player the best chance of not dying. This is especially relevant to players of Hardcore. Netherite is the best base layer for armor, which can be crafted from Ancient Debris found in the Nether. Then gamers will need the best enchantments to go along with it: Unbreaking, Protection, Thorns and, of course, Mending, which will ensure that the armor will never be broken.
If gamers are still stuck on what to do in Minecraft, then a good idea would be to just not play the game. Play something else, but keep Minecraft in the back of your mind and look for inspiration on what to create.
Dive into the sci-fi worlds of Halo or Mass Effect for some space-themed builds, or journey back in time with Assassin's Creed or Red Dead Redemption. Inspiration can come from anywhere and this concept can be applied to movies, TV shows, comic books, and just about everything else. If gamers are lacking in build ideas, it is not a bad thing to look at other games for inspiration.
As part of the 1.21 update, the long-awaited feature of different types of wolves has been added. Just like how cats have various breeds in the game, wolves also now benefit from this.
There are nine different wolves to collect: the pale wolf found in the taiga biome, the rusty wolf in jungle biomes, the spotted wolf in savannah biomes, the black wolf in old-growth pine taiga biomes, the striped wolf in badlands, the snowy wolf in snowy plains, the ashen wolf in snowy taigas, the woods wolf in forest biomes, and the chestnut wolf in old-growth spruce taigas. To celebrate the new update, gamers can search high and low in their worlds to collect every type of these new wolves. They can even dress them up in wolf armor, which can be crafted from armadillo scutes.
Another highly requested addition for Minecraft was the inclusion of some more combat-based tests in the game. This came in the form of Trial Chambers. Similar to a raid, gamers would be put up against various enemies and be rewarded with a trail key, which can open vaults to receive a wide variety of prizes.
Players looking to make epic castles to small cottages will find that a medieval aesthetic works well in Minecraft.
These rewards are the usual: emeralds, gold, diamonds, and enchanted books, but there are exclusive items that can only be found within the trail chambers. These include new banner patterns, armor trims, and a heavy core, which is used to craft the new melee weapon, the mace. Trail chamber rewards can be boosted using the Bad Omen effect. This, of course, increases the difficulty of the enemies.
There is something about collecting each variation of an item in Minecraft that is perfect for those looking for something to do in the blocky world. Gamers can collect each painting and create an art gallery to house them in. This will look perfect in city builds, adding to the immersion of the world.
There are 25 paintings in the game, so it will take some effort to create a building to store all of them. The paintings themselves do not require much work, as they are generated randomly when crafted from eight sticks and one block of wool. The real effort here is creating the building.
There isn't much reason to create a sports arena in the game. There is no real way to play soccer, football, or basketball in vanilla Minecraft. This build will be purely aesthetic. Most major cities in the world have at least one sports arena, so it's fun to create one in a Minecraft city.
Texture packs can completely change how Minecraft feels, and these are the best and most popular texture packs out there for the game.
Gamers can create their own arena, or replicate one of their favorite sports teams' arenas in real life. Either way, the player's decision does not change the fact it will take a lot of building blocks and a lot of time. Players won't be bored for long with this task.
The currency of Minecraft is emeralds, and the easiest way to obtain lots of money is to trade with villagers. Each villager has a different job and will require different types of items to be traded with. For example, the Fletcher's base item is sticks, an easy item to obtain. In no time, the player will have a lot of emeralds.
Villagers' trades will be locked after a certain amount is traded, so it would be wise to create a villager trading hall and fill it with various professions. This way, there will be no waiting around to trade all items collected. Being rich means that gamers can then buy all that they want and show off their stacks of emeralds to friends.
Animals come in all shapes and sizes in Minecraft and a fun and challenging thing to do is to collect each animal and build a zoo to put them in. Designing each exhibit uniquely to fit the needs of each animal. Doing this in survival Minecraft could pose a big challenge, as some mobs are harder to find than others.
The axolotl and the panda, for example, are tricky to locate and then gamers have to transport them to the area of their zoo, but it will be worth it if gamers are up for the task. The same idea can be implemented for hostile mobs and aquatic mobs also, this will certainly keep even the most experienced players busy.
Once gamers get to a certain point in the game, it may be time to automize some of their farms, meaning that the crops will be harvested completely on their own, ensuring players will not be short on supplies.
Superflat Worlds in Minecraft present a great deal of challenges that players must overcome if they want to survive.
An easy farm to make is a wheat farm, which uses Farmer Villagers to harvest the crops automatically and store them away, they will even dispose of any unused seeds in a composter, making some bonemeal in the process. But an automated farm can be done for most items in the game, such as wool from a sheep, an observer will recognize when the sheep has eaten some grass and send out some shears from a dispenser to claim some wool.
Experimental features are a useful setting in Minecraft that allows players to access new things in the game before they are officially released. If players are using a stable (retail) version of the game, then they can enable this feature in the settings.
This is super handy as gamers can preview what is to come in Minecraft, such as the new mobs, the Armadillo and the Breeze, Trail Chambers, new copper blocks, and the crafter. Games can mess around and get to grips with the new features before the official release. However, it is wise to back up the world before doing so as the new features are not fully ready to be installed and may cause some bugs and glitches.
Once gamers have defeated the Ender Dragon they will have access to End Cities, which is where the Elytra wings are located. This item allows players to fly around the world, with the aid of fireworks, but they may be tricky to control for new players of the game.
Thanks to recent updates from Mojang, gold in Minecraft is more valuable than ever, with a variety of beneficial uses making it worth collecting.
So, a fantastic idea would be to build an Elytra course, high up in the sky to train people to use the item better. Creating rings or checkpoints to fly through, using a timer to try and beat the player's personal best. Not only will it have a practical use in the world, but it will also look great as a part of a base.
A simple method of potentially getting some awesome loot is through a raid, which can be activated by killing the Raid Captain of a Pillager Outpost, easily located by the banner on their back. This will give players the Bad Omen effect, and when entering a village it will trigger the start of a Raid.
Gamers must defeat waves of enemies and are rewarded with Emeralds, Totems of Undying, and several other great items from Pillagers, Ravagers, and Evokers. Be careful when selecting which village to undertake the raid in as it will cause some serious damage and harm any other mobs in the village. There is a plus side to doing it in the village the player regularly attends, as the prices of villagers will be decreased.
Archeology has arrived in the game, and it is worth exploring, as using the brush tool to reveal some treasures inside suspicious sand or gravel.
These can be found in a few different structures including Trail Ruins which are mud and terracotta structures meant to represent old and worn down villages, Hidden inside are the new Pottery Sherds which are used to create Decorated Pots and have 20 designs to find. Armor Trims are also found which are different patterns that gamers can use to finally customize their armor.
One of the big bosses of the game, the Wither has to be created by the player using Wither Skulls and Soul Sand, but the reward for defeating one is worth it.
There are dozens, if not hundreds, of items that players can use in Minecraft, but these useless items are better off being left deep in the mines.
The Wither drops a Nether Star which is essential for creating a Beacon, the Beacon sends a beam up to the sky meaning the base can always be located. But that is not all for the Beacon it can also offer a boost for the player to increase mining speed, jump boost, increased strength, increased resistance, and regeneration. This is no easy feat as the Wither is insanely tough and the Beacon pyramid required to activate the powerups are costly.
Banners are a great way to make a base a unique one, as multiple different designs can be created, even flags for countries to represent the player's nation. To create a banner players will need a Loom and some wool and then the world is open, choose from a multitude of different designs. Try creating a unique one to use as the world's emblem for a clan.
X marks the spot—a Treasure Map is an amazing way to get some great loot in Minecraft but acquiring one is tricky. They can only be found in Shipwrecks or Ocean Ruins. Put on that scuba gear and get searching!
Players should grab a screenshot when they see one of these rare mob variants in Minecraft.
The loot hidden in the shores holds a heart of the sea an item that is used to create a conduit that allows the player to breathe underwater. It's an incredibly useful item for those who plan on building their home base beneath the waves.
There are so many generated structures to find in Minecraft and a fun thing to do is make a checklist of them all and tick off the ones that have been found. One of the rarest is a woodland mansion, which is a massive dungeon that contains so much loot that gamers will not know what to do with it all.
The structures aren't exclusive to the overworld and Bastion Remnants and Nether Fortresses are simply a few of those found in the other dimensions. Each structure has its own reason to go to so make sure to explore them all.
