20 Fun Things To Do in Survival Minecraft if You’re Bored

Minecraft survival has tons of entertaining things in it so in this video i’ll show you 20 fun things to do in minecraft if you’re bored so the first thing to do in minecraft if you’re bored is to do all this to build yourself a big city or a town i found

That to build lots of structures around your main base to really build sort of what seems like a populated area can be a super entertaining thing to do so if you’re bored maybe try adding some cool apartments to it or an amusement park you could even add a supply shop a

Hardware store a grocery store and a fire station like i have done here and one of the nicest things about this project is as you can see it’s never done so you can continue to expand this for a very long time making a long-term way to make your survival world be

Entertaining turtles are a really cool part of minecraft added in 1.13 but sometimes players may forget about these creatures in the game early some of the cool things you can do with them for instance building a turtle farm like this one here they’re pretty simple but

You get yourself a bunch of scoots from them and also a lot of baby turtles in the end you have a massive turtle reserve like these ones here that are laying on the beach although it looks like i need to breed these ones as all i

Have for loot right now is an ink sack but of course getting all the scoots and unlocking the turtle shell helmet with tons of cool enchantments on it not only is this fun but it also makes playing minecraft underwater a little bit easier something really fun you can make is

What i like to call a skulk sensor telephone now it’s not exactly a phone but basically the way it works is you can make a cycle of skulk sensor signals that will sort of be able to be used for some sort of communication so the idea is you’ll have a skulk

Sensor with a trapdoor or some other noise maker next to it then seven blocks away from the trapdoor you’ll have another skulk sensor with another trapdoor so on and so forth and so if we make one of these skulk sensors get triggered you can see the signal travels

All the way over there you can even use this with redstone so for instance right here it will shoot some fireworks into the air which is pretty cool and also the signals will continue going through all the different skulk sensors so like when we make some signals here

They’ll arrive to us back here you could have some sort of communication with this with some wool lines in between maybe with one signal meaning one thing and one signal meaning another thing they can definitely be used for a lot of stuff and are super fun if you want a

Real challenge go to a pillager outpost and don’t just kill one illager captain kill two illager captains because if you do kill two ledger captains in java edition and finding them amongst the crowds of pillagers can be a little bit difficult then upon killing the second pillager captain you’ll get bad omen 2

And you can get more levels of bad omen however if you do have batoman 2 you will not get 7 raid waves in hard mode you will get 8 raid waves and so when we enter into this village we will have an even more difficult raid to deal with

Which can be quite fun and if you can get an even higher level of battlemen past level 2 the enchantments on the tools of the pillagers will be even harder to deal with speaking of good challenges something really fun to do is to try and read a bastion but not just

Try reading one bastion try reading one of every type of bastion you see there are four different types there’s the bridge hogland stables housing units and treasure room and each one has its own unique challenges pitfalls and loot and so something i’d really suggest doing is going to the nether exploring around and

See if you can find all types and rescue all the treasure from them without dying and with the possibility to find the snout banner pattern enchanted golden apple and more really good loot here like the pig step music disc it’s definitely one of the best structures to

Read in the game if you have a really cool minecraft world that you’ve done a lot in something i would definitely suggest doing is making a mega map for instance this map here that has almost 500 individual small maps on it to make this giant collage of this island that

My main base is on you can see here the main city and some other areas branching off from it and overall it’s really cool to see all the work that you’ve done on an area and it’s also perfect for planning because you can take screenshots of different areas from the

Top view and also including everything you’ve already built there and i would really say in every way a big well-developed survival world should have a mega map on it and it’s a really fun thing to do if you’re bored too as it takes quite a bit of time to make

With the addition of the adorable frog and minecraft 1.19 making a small frog sanctuary can be a really fun project placing down a bunch of mangrove trees having some frogs living around an area near some water and you can also see all their stages of life from breeding them then to having

The tadpoles and also having the frogs spawn around for instance you can see my tadpoles in the water here you can see the frog spawn they’re laying down and also the full-grown frogs it’s a great way of seeing every single stage in their life cycle and also a cool

Decoration to your world something interesting that i haven’t seen a lot of players do but is quite fun is to make lava casts now they can look somewhat ugly but if you shape them the right way these can be really cool looking things in your world although i would not

Necessarily recommend making one of these at your main base it can still be cool to build one of these somewhere in the wilderness sort of like a monument so for instance one style of them that you can build is a giant pyramid like this out of the scaffolding and once

You’ve finished making it on the very top you can pile up a bit with some dirt then on the bottom there place a lava bucket and let that flow down the sides and when it flows down it can make some really cool shapes so for instance this

Looks a bit like a skyscraper and then you can just pick up your lava from the top and instantly place down some water and that will harden all of the lava into cobblestone there you can remove the lava as well and once all the water has finished going over the entire thing

Turning all the cobblestone like you can see it doing here in real time all the water will come off there and now we have a brand new lava cast something really fun you can do with fireworks and minecraft is to make a cycling color firework and these are simply made by

Making a firework star of every single type of color you want to have in the firework and once you’ve done that put your gun powder and paper in the crafting grid and put in a firework star in order of the colors you want it to go

For every single one and you can see over here it tells us it goes red orange yellow lime light blue purple which is what i want here and then we make one of these fireworks go off and it’s almost nighttime which is perfect so we can see

This in better detail you can see when the firework goes into the air it’ll cycle through all the colors in a super cool display i like it because it doesn’t just do them all at once it goes first red then orange then yellow then green then blue then purple and because

Of that i think that’s one of the prettiest things you can make in minecraft now building a great base in the overworld is always a good idea however what about the nether making a base in the nether aided by the respawn anchor which is more or less another bed

It’s a really cool thing to do because not only can you have a convenient place to let’s say go piglet trading or other things that only work in another but it’s also sort of like an emergency area to go if you need to and because you can

Now respawn there it’s a really great choice but why stop there you could even make a base in the end dimension as well while there isn’t any way to respawn there still making yourself awesome survival bases in every single dimension can definitely be a fun thing to do a

Whole side of minecraft i haven’t seen a lot of players explore is using note blocks and they’re really fun for instance i made a song right here now of course that’s something pretty simple but it illustrates the point that with different instruments different pitches different timings and things like that there’s basically nothing

Limiting you to making any song you want to in minecraft that’s actually pretty easy as the note blocks work quite well just whatever block is beneath them changes what pitch they are and so if you’re feeling bored maybe try making a noteblock song you could use it as a

Doorbell or maybe even something that plays at a certain time like when it becomes night or day definitely something very fun to try out ancient cities are obviously something pretty dangerous in minecraft a fun thing to try however is to pacify an ancient city and it’s not as hard as you would think

See the only place that wardens can come from is the skulk shriekers so if you can destroy every single one of those you have a completely peaceful ancient city and also because there’s no way that hostile mobs can spawn in the deep dark biome you can make it not only

Peaceful from wardens but just peaceful in general and if you just surround these skulk shriekers and wool and break them you can disable those slowly but surely and eventually you can fully enjoy this entire structure with absolutely no issues coming from wardens spawning in and while you’re at it you

Can get cool books like looting three and all the other treasure that’s here aquatic things are really interesting part of the game but because different undersea mobs need well water to survive something really fun you can do is to make a giant aquarium and exploring through here if you have a conduit you

Can even go through all the cool things you’ve built without having to worry about drowning you can see all the different fish here and overall it can be a great presentation and with different mobs like squids and dolphins as long as you name tag them they won’t

Despawn and so it’s something you can build that’ll last forever in your world too you could even do something similar to what i did here where you have hotel rooms that look right up into the aquarium so definitely i would suggest building an aquarium in every minecraft

World if you have a lot of different areas in your minecraft world something that could be fun to do to connect them is to build a minecart track but not just any minecart track a giant minecart track for instance on my world here we have a whole subway system and from the

System you can go to any single part on this entire giant island with corridors going through the forest and different fun sites to see along the way adding a giant railway system with mine kurtz on this world has really brought it together and it’s a really cool way of

Seeing everything you’ve built if defeating just a meager raid at once is too easy for you try adding in a wither for an even harder challenge in fact something really fun to do is to try and defeat two boss mobs at the same time so for instance here you can try defeating

A wither and a raid at the same time you could also do a wither and the ender dragon maybe two withers at the same time or even combine it with an ocean monument the possibilities are really endless here and i would say it’s one of the best ways to make a really hard

Challenge for yourself even when you’re in late game to really add more details to areas that you’ve built try adding vending machines they can be something really simple like this or they could be something more complex with a working payment system but either way i would

Say this adds a lot of detail to a world it can also be quite useful for instance you could have one that gives you firework rockets as of course it’s so easy to run out of those quickly and they can be very small and fit into little corners of places in areas you

Wouldn’t think they would be and i think it’s a really great touch to any survival world and one of those very easy to add just having a dropper connect up to a button with maybe an item frame saying what thing will be dispensed if you think you’ve done it

All in your minecraft world i would ask have you rated a woodland mansion and if you have something i would suggest is to actually raid multiple of them the reason why is that every woodland mansion is very unique and because of that really the experience of raiding a

Woodland mansion is going to be different every time and although they may seem like an easy structure to raid if you have a lot of evokers or vindicators gang up on you this can actually be a very difficult structure to beat and so with the danger of both

Rating it as well as finding it this is a really great thing to do in your world if you’re bored and it can definitely be a hard challenge as well like for instance right there you saw i just had to use that totem of undying and with treasure ranging from enchanted golden

Apples to diamond blocks there’s a lot of really cool things you can potentially get from a woodland mansion and so it’s definitely worth trying to raid now you may think of horses inside of minecraft as something you wouldn’t really have to worry about or even think

About late game but it can be quite the contrary as there’s a really cool goal you can set with them which is to try and find the perfect horse one that is the fastest has the most hearts and also has the highest jump now what i’m on

Right now is absolutely nowhere near the perfect taurus but that’s kind of the fun of it is trying to find them out by breeding or just by exploring and once you do find one it can be super valuable especially since if you can breed two perfect horses to gather a bunch you can

Get all kinds of baby horses which are generally going to have almost perfect statistics as well although you’ll definitely wish at times that some of your slower horses would just speed up if you’re playing in java edition something that can really open up a lot of possibilities around the game is

Breaking a piece of bedrock and gaining access to the nether roof of course as you find it it’s a little bit boring just a flat sheet of bedrock with some brown and red mushrooms on top however with the ability to make super fast gold farms here and also really good nether

Transportation with no need of breaking other blocks the nether roof is a great way to unlock more opportunities and the challenge of exploiting a glitch to break a piece of bedrock is certainly something that can take a bit of time and if you have already broken a single

Piece of bedrock try breaking a massive amount of bedrock on the nether roof giving yourself a cool portal to fly in and out of up to this almost fourth dimension in minecraft one of the favorite mega projects of mine that i’ve ever done in this world is draining a

Swamp now of course i didn’t fully drain it as that would take a lot of time but you can see right here that a very large portion of the swamp i’ve walled off and i divided it into different sections with sand and then i drained it so for

Instance right here we’re actually below the water level as if i break that water will flow out and it’s cool because when you do drain it you can use it for farmland maybe planting flowers or you could do what i was doing here and start building an entire dutch area with some

Sunflowers some windmills some different buildings and overall just a really cool project to do and although you may not necessarily enjoy the grass color you get when you do it it’s really interesting to take an area that most minecraft players would think of as useless and turn it into a developed and

Interesting area so those are 20 fun things to do in minecraft if you’re bored this is my second video featuring things to do if you’re bored in minecraft so hopefully you’re not bored anymore anyway i’ll see in the next one goodbye you
