Not many games can be labeled as games that need no introduction. Minecraft is one such game that requires no introduction. This is because asides from being an active and creative game, it is the most played sandbox video game. The reason for this can be traced to the variety of game modes available to users. These various available modes ensure that you are always busy and occupied so you can play for hours without even thinking of how many hours you have spent gaming.
Due to its popularity, a lot of YouTubers still release videos of themselves playing the game. They even live stream themselves playing the game at times. And because Minecraft is a creative game that forces you to use your imagination to its peak. The result is that there is an endless stream of ideas for interested YouTubers to make videos on.
However, YouTubers only play the game when they want to create a video or live stream playing the game. In other words, it is way difficult for Minecraft users with no YouTube account to keep themselves from playing the game at every given opportunity. This is because you will find yourself building loads of 3D objects with the various cubes and resources available to you in the game. It also means that you will find yourself roaming the never-ending game map hours at a time engaging in combats; crafting useful items and weapons; among other things.
Minecraft has always remained one of the most played games in the world despite the release of more advanced games with next-gen graphics. This makes one wonder why a sandbox game continues to see millions of active users every month.
The reason for this is not so hard to see. The game does not have a definite way to be played. It will last as long as you keep getting ideas of what to do. This not only keeps you busy, but it also helps you discover your creative side. This is why people, both young and old keep coming back to the game.
Although Minecraft is a really fun game, doing some stuff over and over can get repetitive and boring at times. This is because you are not trying out some new stuff except the old ones you already know. Because of that, we have compiled a list of fun, silly and amazing things you can do to keep you coming back to the game below:
Minecraft is a game that lets you create just about anything in the game; including maps. There are different types of maps in the game such as parkour maps, challenge maps, and even survival maps; all of which are used for specific game modes.
There are different ways to build maps in the game. Some of these methods include using some command blocks to make puzzle maps, using Redstone circuits to make decryption as well as using blocks to make island maps.
Hardcore mode is a mode the biggest percentage of Minecraft play alongside survival mode. There is no big difference between the two modes except that hardcore mode is a more difficult variant of survival mode. What this means is that an encounter with mobs will be more dangerous as they would deal with much more damage. Your character will also frequently need food and would be at greater risk of starving to death. The same goes for all the other features in the game. Lastly, should your character die in the mode, you would not be able to continue playing the mode. You can only return to the virtual world via Spectator mode.
Now is the fun part. Why play the hardcore mode, with all the rules all the time when it can easily get tiring. The easiest and best way to get more fun out of the game is to use some cheats while playing it. The interesting thing about using cheat is that you can always disable the use of cheat when you want it.
Enabling cheat in hardcore mode is easy. Click on the LAN option to bring a dialog box of options. Select cheat to "open". These would allow you to perform certain commands you would not be able to do in the game without cheat enabled. Some of these commands include building houses with bedrock, using command blocks to create Redstone circuits, and many more. There is even a command that lets you switch to creative mode.
Besides playing on regular Minecraft servers, you can also play on certain private servers with other Minecraft players. The main purpose of creating this server is usually to see the buildings and skills of other people playing the game on the same server as you. The server also gives you a chance to make friends with people that are your age mates and even with others that are not.
Many of the said servers do not have any prerequisites you have to satisfy before you can join although some require you to register online.
There are four (4) different Minecraft versions all of which are officially released versions of the game. These versions were all released for April Fools' Day. As you can expect from anything relating to April Fools' Day, the games contain multiple jokes which you can only uncover when exploring the game. if you are looking for an interesting and fun way to play the game, playing Minecraft is a cool way to do so.
Roller Coasters are mostly built in the Nether and Overworld and they can be used as means of catching fun as well as other purposes. For instance, you can create a roller coaster capable of traveling through the two dimensions - Nether and Overworld. There are various online tutorials to build roller coasters. All you need to do is search the keyword "Tutorials Minecraft roller coaster" and you will know the magic behind building one in no time.
Redstone circuits are very important items in Minecraft. This is because they are required if you want to open more creative and complex areas on Minecraft. The Redstone circuits also let you build any machinery you want in the game.
Spleef is a very interesting mini-game in Minecraft although you can only play it on some servers. This means that you have to join the servers where you can play them.
Spleef is only played on top of a platform lying above a lava pool. The platform is usually made of snow which means the platform can disintegrate much more quickly. The goal of the game is simple. You have a shovel with which you are to destroy blocks of snow under the feet of other players playing the game so that they would dissolve into the lava.
There are also some Spleef games where the platform is made of TNT instead of Snow. In this case, each player has a flint in place of a shovel and have to ignite the TNT blocks under the feet of other players playing the game with them.
You do not necessarily have to be on the monetary side of YouTube before you upload videos of yourself playing the game. All you need is a ready audience with enough vibes to make creating content fun.
There is no better way to have fun in the game than by customizing the default textures. Resource packs are very handy in the game as you can use them to give your Minecraft game new looks. If you have a lot of confidence in your artistic sense, you can create resource packs that you can use in the game.
Creating resource packs can be done in three ways. You can either edit default textures, modify already existing resource textures, or simply create your resource pack from the scratch.
- Building a statue
- Summoning mobs with useful command codes
- Making game mods
- Building something into the game from the real world
- Torching up TNT buildings
- Playing on custom maps
- Digging the Quarry
- Building an army to attack villages
And remember, Minecraft is not the only game in the world. There are various other games you can play when bored with Minecraft. Besides, you can do other things in your life other than playing games especially when you see that you are indeed tired of playing the game.
