Stop Quitting Your Minecraft Worlds

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.

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

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

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

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!

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

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 :]

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

Man I'm so happy for you that your channel blew up. I have not been a long time follower by any means but I saw you right around 10k subs like a year ago or maybe even less than that. I checked out your channel, thought "man, this guy has been around for forever, and he's only got 10k subs!" And then like a week later I saw you had gone up multiple thousands, and here just a few months later you're at like 400k! It just sounds so cool and I'm sure you're like "idek why this happened" LOL. Good job though!

One interesting idea ive found has been to play hybrid creative and survival- One of my favorite "gamemodes" ive created has been amp'd, where you make an amplified world, build a base in creative, give yourself god boots (for navigation/exploring), and then just play survival. It's honestly so fun and really an interesting way of playing the game.

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.

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

The key to longevity is to actually enjoy making large builds. My worlds rarely last that long because you always eventually reach a point where the only thing left to do is build... but if you don't enjoy building you're going to get bored. I don't like making huge builds, its too stressful, so if that's not your thing focus on making a lot of smaller builds. Eventually those small builds will add up to something BIG. Its also good to try new things, and find out what you enjoy most. If you like terraforming, then terraform (its surprisingly relaxing), if you like making farms or redstone machines, go for it! Like advancements? Work towards every advancement. Do you like grinding out good gear, but already have a perfect set? MAKE MORE! Make fully enchanted leather armor just for the heck of it! Your Minecraft experience is only limited by your motivation and creativity, so think creatively and don't force yourself to do things you don't enjoy doing! Just do the things you enjoy doing and you'll have a good time doing it. :)

Man, this does not apply only to MC worlds, THIS APPLIES TO ALMOST EVERYTHING! If you are quitting certain projects, fe. electrical projects, woodworking, metalworking, 3dprinting, writing, making music, Almost everything.. Thank you for those tips and kudos to you for such a great video!
