Desperate for mainstream critical attention, but burdened with the kind of juvenile writing that makes it mostly impossible to take them seriously.

Ideally no. Apologies in advance for the hyperbole, but right now I've got problems. Minecraft problems. In recent years the concept of "games as services" has exploded. Nowadays we don't play games for a month or two, finish them and move on to the next like the "good old days.

Although the thought has been entertained, it appears as if Microsoft has no plans to make the game into a series. Still, there's no shortage of fun things to occupy oneself with while playing. 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 seeking other things to do—here are some amusing options for those bored and eager for new Minecraft experiences. Updated July 30th, by Stephen LaGioia: The blocky sandbox epic known as Minecraft has remained timelessly entertaining for many gamers old and young. Dating all the way back to its more humble Alpha roots over a decade ago, the game has captivated players with its rewarding progression and expansive, free-flowing gameplay.
Ironically, while there remains a seemingly endless amount of things to do, gamers can find themselves overwhelmed or bored, seeking a new activity to mix things up.
With this in mind, it seemed appropriate to refresh this list and highlight even more fun things to do in Minecraft. While many enjoy the building and mining aspects of Minecraft , the game often thrives when played more like a treacherous survival adventure. Make a point to get prepared with some solid equipment and survival goods, and venture outward. Simply going on a long hike for exploration or slaying baddies can be thrilling, especially during the more hostile conditions of the night.
It's a good way to bump up the excitement and test one's resolve. Not only this but plenty of awesome new landmasses can be discovered in this endlessly expanding world. Bring a compass or build a towering beacon as a frame of reference so getting lost isn't an issue.
Though it might be a bit tedious to some, the simple act of constructing a long highway can be a good way to occupy oneself and aid in exploration as well. Since there's no shortage of cobblestone in Minecraft , settle on using that as the foundation and get to building.
This can provide a central focus for a time and act as a handy navigation tool. Railroads can be built on the surface for faster navigation.
A tall enough highway can also double as a wall to ward off unwanted foes and bar them from a town or safe area. Though this part of the game isn't quite as detailed as the likes of Stardew Valley or Harvest Moon , an overlooked part of this sandbox is the ability to plant seeds within its sands and dirt.
One can create a farm and harvest a bounty of crops with just a handful of simple steps. Create a fenced-in region of roughly blocks, then dig several rows that will act as water canals. After these are filled with water, use a hoe to till the dirt, and right-click on the tilled land while holding seeds. Bone meal can speed up this action. Harvest the crops by left-clicking with the hoe, and collect the bounty.
Crops such as wheat, melons, pumpkins, and even carrots can be grown. Though cobblestone is fairly easy to come by when mining and exploring the vast Minecraft caverns, sometimes it's nice to have a ready supply at one's immediate disposal.
With just a few easy steps involving a small pit, a bucket of lava, and a bucket of water , a cobblestone generator can be constructed. The water makes constant contact with the flowing lava, creating an instant block of cobblestone.
