What do you think are the best resources and most fun thing to do with Minecraft?

I have simple pleasures, like building a glass castle on a mountain but, would be interested in what else to do.

Try and get through the main quest to kill the Ender Dragon in Survival mode? There's not a lot going on in Minecraft, it does what it does well, but what it does is pretty shallow.

I've been building cities and roads... with a mind toward where farms and defences and such would be and in what quantities. Kind of a mini-setting to wander through. Mostly I play it at night to relax, while I listen to audiobooks or music.

You might like Stonehearth then.

I think it might work very well for a Dungeon Walkthrough, to give ideas of visibility and 3D depth perception.

The most fun I've had is setting up a server and playing with kids, setting up adventures and clues and stuff for them to discover and explore, and helping them with projects and adventures, and building things and playing in ways that serve as examples for what can be fun & interesting.

I tend to lose interest playing by myself because I know how limited some of the systems are (mainly, the monster populations aren't persistent enough to be very interesting to me. Also that the building/destroying/carrying is so fast & powerful that nothing is really an obstacle to another player unless you use mods & server settings to prohibit mining or something like that. Also infinite respawns.), but I do generally enjoy exploring and making forts & tunnel / wall systems and hoarding stuff & so on.

Over on BGG theres a server host. Or least used to be.

Some things to do.

1: Explore! Theres all sorts of things to discover. Abandoned mines, Abandoned Strongholds, Lost Temples, etc. Recent updates added even more.

2: play around with redstone gadgets or command blocks. You can make teleporters and even airships with the command blocks. No mods needed.

3: explore other peoples creations. There are some amazing maps out now using the command blocks and other tricks to create some interesting adventures.

Wow, this post has a hidden spam link in Sanskrit or something.

I do immersive survival/exploration. I like focusing on finding abandoned mineshafts. If you play immersively and avoid things like AFK farms or livestock farms that cram hundreds of animals into a one-block space, or add challenges like going totally nomad, you canb keep things interesting for a long while.

There are also a couple tools that add more interesting structures for you to explore. mcdungeon generates elaborate ruins and multilevel dungeons with maps and traps. Tyruswoo's structure generator also adds a hundred different dungeon/structure types that are less elaborate, but have more variety and generate endlessly on the fly. The problem with both of these is that there was a change in the way some command block commands work in 1.11, so the update this month broke them: structures still generate, but the traps in mcdungeon and custom mobs in Tyruswoo's structure generator won't work right until they are updated. There are other random structure generators and "one command block" mods that add custom creatures/bosses, but these will have the same problem as the other two and will need to be tweaked. If you roll back to version 1.10, however, they will still work. You just won't get llamas or the new woodland mansions.

(Edit: Didn't check the mcdungeon support thread before I wrote the above paragraph, so I had no idea that there is now a version that supports 1.11.)

Another thing you can do is use the custom map options or gamerule commands to make more difficult working environments. Try getting to the nether in a superflat world that doesn't have naturally-occurring lava, or try a world with lava lakes/oceans instead of water. Or turn off the day/night cycle after the first sunset.

Automated mob farm/harvesters are fun to build. My friends and I built an archery course where you ride a minecart through different rooms, and it stops in some places. You have a short amount of time to shoot targets. Score for hits is kept automatically. It was neat, I need to make a fraps of it.  The redstone circuiting is fun to experiment with.

We still play minecraft now and then when bored with whatever rpg we've been on.

I just got back on the BGG/VGG server and have been puttering around building.

First off was an Eagle Transport from Space 1999. Then built the landing pad too.

Current project allmost done is the Tower of the Elephant from Conan.

And here is the screencap of the Tower of the Elephant.



I did not base it off the TSR module as the one in the module did not match the one in the story.
