41 Things to Do in Minecraft When Bored

– [Narrator] 41 Minecraft things to do when you’re bored at home. For various reasons you’re probably stuck at home right now with not much to do, just an expanse of nothingness. So it’s a good thing that Minecraft has plenty of projects, tasks and activities to keep you busy and entertained

And these are some of my favorites to avoid that slump. And also YouTube let me know that I only have one stack of subscribers. So, if you wanna help me reach a full double chest of subscriber or find 41 different ways to press that subscribe button down below. It helps a lot.

If the tunes and Minecraft are getting you down, then why not try to collect every music disc. With 12 to get there’s plenty to keep you busy there. And granted not all of them are created equal. I mean, at least two of them suck. But if you wanna get all of them

And fill out your collection, all you need is a skeleton and a creeper to get you through this time. Also if you’re going through all the effort to find every single music disc, then why not try to find every one of the parrot colors.

Because at least then, they’re not choosy on the music and you can create some pretty hilarious memes I’m just saying, it might be worthwhile. And if you’re gonna be the guy who has every single parrot color, then why not be the guy with every single mob.

Making the zoo is a great thing to do because there are just so many different mobs that you’re able to collect. And while some of them are able to be easily taken with leads, what I’d probably suggest for this one is to grab a boat because not only does it look hilarious

To have a panda in your backseat but also it’s a pretty effective way to get them where you wanna go. But you wanna know what would work great in that zoo, finding one of the rarest mobs in Minecraft. Now for those of you who haven’t seen this one finding a baby zombie villager

That’s coated enchanted diamond armor with a sword on top of a chicken, is one of the rarest things in the game. In fact, it’s more rare than getting the same world twice in a row. So, if you’re feeling like you wanna set out on the biggest search of a lifetime

And become your own kind of version of Captain Ahab, this might be the one for you. And if you’re trying to make a little bit of a grocery list before you set out on the expedition, then why not also try to find a fossil. These rare bone structures will generate

Under the ground and if you happen to excavate one of them, then you’re in luck because they’re pretty hard to find. And if you’re a fan of preservation, then you should know that this belongs in a museum so why don’t you make one of those too?

Not only this is pair great with having every single mob in your collection, but you could also try and find every single block and put them on display for everyone to see who walks through. And if you’re getting every block, then you should try to get every item as well.

Although those belong better in chests so maybe making an every item sorter is the way to go. It’s not a cheap project and you’ll probably need a couple of iron firms to help you through this one. But if you happen to do it, then there’s no easier way to clear out your inventory.

Now I’m sure some of you are familiar with the idea of a Super Smelter we have a big furnace array and it’s able to help you process through your items. But what you really want is something like this. What I call the super duper smelter, which goes through a stack of items

And the time that it takes regular furnace to do one. Which means you can have all the cactus green that you want, with no extra hassle to you. Although it is worth saying that with a furnace array that big, you are gonna have to find a way to power it.

And if you don’t have a lot of coal, a good sustainable way to do it is by a tree farm. But not any old tree farm that’s just gonna waste through your access durability. No, what you want here is a TNT duper tree farm, which will actually drop an explosive

Right on top of the logs and collect them all for you to use. And for extra style points, you can also add in a switch like this, which you can turn on or off the charcoal mode. That combo will give you quite the setup for smelting.

But if you’re looking for ores to actually get refined, then why not head out to the mines? But of course we’re not gonna be doing traditional mining because with TNC power, we can make our very own tunnel board that’s great for gathering every single material at the base level.

And with an explosive-powered beast like this, you’ll get more materials and building blocks than you could possibly dream of. And with that, you’re gonna need somewhere to store it. So how about trying to make a giant vault? No, I mean like a huge vault.

Like a 12 by 12 volt door that’s completely powered by redstone just to open up and then see all of your mass riches behind. Granted, it might take a little while to open up but all that extra time is just gonna keep inpatient unwanted people at bay. And speaking of keeping trouble away,

Then how about making one of these, a hostile mobs switch? And while a design like this might be hard to wrap your head around, it sure is for me by having hundreds of withers underneath this bedrock trapped. It’s actually possible to flip a switch on a chunk loader

To then keep these withers loaded and in the mob capital spawn no other hostile mobs wonder around. Which means it’s possible to keep your entire server safe, but just be careful how you set it up. Because sometimes it can get a little risky on the execution. Worth noting is that by tangling a mob switch like that, you are set to break a few farms, but how about one that actually ignores the mob cap? By building these giant portal arrays over in the OverWorld when Zombie Pigman spawn that ignores the actual Mob switch

So that you’re able to get your golden flush villager trades the exact same way that you would if the mobs switches off, although all those portals aren’t exactly cheap so you’re gonna need a whole lot of Obsidian. And a good way to do that is by of course, making a weather-powered obsidian farm

Because no one wants to waste their time at home mining the obsidian, Nelly has tried it out, and while it can take a little while before that loop starts and you actually start producing obsidian. Once it gets up and running the job sure to get done.

But all of those are farms that feature some pretty dangerous creatures. So if you wanna get a little bit more in touch with your passive side try this. Did you know that with enough light and grass pond proofing, it’s actually possible to make a passive mob farm.

Meaning you can get your pig, sheep and cows exactly how you want them in a farm produced fresh every single day. And while it’s not exactly free range, I think it will get the trick done or hey since you’re with the mob switch you’re basically in peaceful mode now,

You’re gonna need some new way to get slime for your farms. And luckily for that, there is a silly enough way to do it, albeit a little gross. You see in the game, pandas can occasionally sneeze out a slime ball which without even going into that

At the very least, you can make a 2006 themed farm and get your slime needs covered without having to kill any mobs. Although the price he pays, it is gonna be a little slow but that’s kind of worth it for not having any other mobs.

And now that you have all your heart on slime, it’s time we put it to use. And for that, there’s nothing quite like building a flying machine, preferably called the snot rocket. With this it’s entirely possible to send yourself back and forth in a two way design in the end

For actually exploring the different cities. It’s not as fast as an alight trip, but if you’re actually searching for the wings, it’s a pretty reliable way to get back and forth, just make sure not to get impatient because as you’re setting out it can go pretty slow.

And nothing’s gonna hurt the journey more than getting a little antsy and hitting the shift key. Or if you want even more dominance established in the end, then how about trying this. Now I’ve seen plenty of people turn the nether into the OverWorld.

But I think the end is a better candidate for that for one simple reason, water. So with enough light for your grass to grow and enough water to make yourself a pond, it’s entirely possible for you to set up a vacation home over in the last dimension

Just make sure the dragon isn’t there when you’re trying to do this, because then that hard work is gonna go right up and smoke. But hey, say the dragon makes you angry and now it’s time to get back, then why not try to get a little creative on your revenge strategy?

And for this, I think the only right answer is to make numerous different redstone contraptions that’ll let you slay the beast in style because nothing quite sets a robot uprising like taking down the final boss using only TNT cannons. Or if that’s not your style then what about going back

To before there even was an end dimension. Speaking personally, revisiting beta is such a cool experience. Just to be able to see the old textures, listen to the classic sounds and kinda remember simpler time, plus going back to the old updates is a blast to do with friends.

Whether they’ve been around since the adventure update or it’s their first time back in years. Or maybe you’re a little bit more adversarial than (indistinct) towards your friends. In that case, a fun and harmless prank to pull off on your friends during your spare time is to flip their entire base upside down.

Now don’t get me wrong. Pulling this off requires some skill and patience. But trust me their reaction is gonna be entirely worth it. And also extra points if you flip all the items around in their chest. That’s just a nice touch. And if you’re on a prank kick

Or say, you wanna retaliate for, I don’t know your house kind of flipped. Then this is a great way to follow up. Now wait until your friend goes AFK and then a great surprise to put on them is by locking them into an all white infinity room. The way you design this

Is by having enough bright light sources around them. Either glow stone or sea lanterns can do the trick. And then cover them with item frames with snow covered flat maps. By doing this, the lack of hit boxes will completely disorientate your friend and they won’t even know where they’re going

Or where they’re looking. It’s pretty fun to do. And if your friends are good sport, then why not try to lock them in a maze as well. That can just get it even crazier than before. Though maybe you’re more in touch with your artistic side than your sadistic side,

In which case I’d suggest using those same maps to make some really cool map art. While it’s pretty tough to lay out, it is entirely possible to make some really intricate pixel art to feature around your house with this. And if you’re looking for an extra detail to go that little bit farther,

Then what I would suggest is lowering the resolution on the source image and then you can make it look like just one of the paintings in Minecraft. And while it might be a pretty strained source, it’s definitely gonna fit in with the rest of the gallery.

And look, one of the great things about Minecraft is that you’re able to express yourself in a number of different ways. And if you’re looking for a different option, then why not try mastering note blocks. With 16 different instruments and 25 different pitches per that instrument,

You wanna get really familiar with the essentials before you try to make your own music because there’s a lot to learn and if you don’t put in the hours to study, then you’re gonna have a bad time. Now equipped with your new found music skills,

I think you’ll fit in just perfectly under the sea, plus with the use of craftable conduits, you can actually make your own Atlantis right down in the oceans of each survival world and live there too. And because this is such an intricate and cool project to pull off in survival,

Anything that you build down here is just gonna look worlds better than it would have above ground because builds are always better downward sweater, take it from me. Or if the aquatic life is just a little too dry for you, then how about a different kind of base.

If you’ve been wanting to get that tad bit edgier then there’s nothing quite like building a nether base counterpart to yours in the OverWorld. And if you make sure to switch up the block palette, you can get two very different looks for the price of one, making an interdimensional build

That’s sure to amaze. Or at the very least I’m sure it’ll look better than mine. If you’re really considering to make the nether your home, then answer me this. Have you ever thought about starting a journey from there because seriously in the new nether update in 1.16,

It’s entirely possible to spawn yourself in the hellscape and then work your way back to beat the game. Word of warning, it will take plenty of bartering and time out of your day. But if you’re in for the long haul, you can make it through hell and back with no problem.

And if traveling between literal dimensions is not enough exploring for you, then my suggestion would be trying to see every single biome in the world. And if you’re stuck at home, this might just be the closest you’ll get to seeing the rest of the world, at least for a little bit.

Just make sure that before you head off to see every single one of them, try to bring in a (indistinct), because while it is entirely possible to make the journey on foot, nothing quite beats taking the adventuring time in the skies. And if you wanna make that long trip

Just a little bit more majestic, then there’s no way that compares to doing it on horseback. And if you’ve got the patience to breed, it is at least possible to make a near perfect horse. And while this might get you a little bit more familiar

With the parrots and birds than you were hoping to, at the very least you can make a really sweet ride from place to place. And if you wanna be very specific, then why not build a couple of redstone contraptions that can actually check the speed and jump height of your ride,

Because with that level of preparation you’ll finally be as good of a horse girl as the rest of them. But hey, I get it. Maybe horses in a (indistinct) aren’t your style. In which case the other great way to get around is with a mine car.

I mean, who among us has never looked at this and thought how cool it would be to make your own roller coaster. It’s like top three things to do in creative after making yourself a diamond block house. There’s nothing that quite compares. And if you’ve got the material supply,

Then I suggest trying to manifest it in survival because then you’ll be a true imagineer. But at this point, I think you’ve got a knack for exploring, so why not try to get every achievement while you’re at it or advancement as they’re now called. From wasting away an entire diamond hoe

To having every single status effect at once. There are some tricky ones to complete, but at the very least it’ll keep you busy. And if you wanna get really crazy, then why not try to partner that with your rollercoaster skills and get all of them achieved on a rail ’cause that’s just nuts.

Although trying to 100% Minecraft can come with its setbacks, so if you’re sick of dying all the time, you wanna try a raid farm. This is a great way to get nonrenewables, such as clay for your builds or if you’ve got your sights set a little higher

Then it’s a great way to get emeralds and the totem of undying for you to use, plus being called the hero of the village certainly has a nice ring to it. I’m just saying. Although, even if you were to collect every single totem of undying,

None of them are gonna help you with this project. Because probably the single most risky thing to build in Minecraft is what’s called a void base. Now, normally you can’t place any blocks under bedrock but using entities like shockers and chest mine carts, you can actually set it up where no joke,

You have a base set up at -62 blocks under the world because nothing quite beats a base packed with all of your essentials and a view of your demise. After doing all of that, it’s kind of understandable if you feel like you’ve reached the top of the food chain.

Although when that happens, I would say it has a tape before deleting your world because there’s another method called software set. Now in my case the way that I’d say to pull this off is to leave every single one of your items behind

And then with only a stack of food to your name, set out in a direction and don’t look back. And when you’re finished off with that food then stop there and make your new base where you stand and then when you’ve built back up enough materials and you’re ready to explore again,

You can go back and see the builds that you used to have which is a pretty cool throwback when you get the chance. But even with all those suggestions, we haven’t even scratched the surface on what the community has to offer for longevity. Like why not build a one-to-one scale model

Of the earth in Minecraft? Like no joke, there is actually a discord team that’s happening right now, where you can join and make a block for block recreation of the world that we’re spinning on right now. And as a disclaimer, it’s definitely gonna be a long time coming,

But to even have the chance to see a project like this get finished in our lifetime, that’d be crazy. Or if you’re looking for more competitions instead of collaboration, then why not join the ranks of a mini game server and try to climb up to the top of the leaderboard.

Personally, I’ve been spending my free time trying to rise myself up in bed wars which has had some mixed results. That’s not to mention all the fantastic challenge maps that exist in the game, whether it’s collecting all of the wool for your monument in diversity three, or even starting a new life

Up in the sky on sky block. Plus if the straight vanilla gets you down, then there’s plenty of other options to tweak the game as well, like these crazy data pack challenges that make it so item drops try to attack you or every time you jump it gets higher.

There’s plenty to choose from there. But if you’re looking for that modded feel while still keeping the vanilla taste, then why not try this mode called quark, which has these slight little add on changes that can really make some new opportunities for you to make different farms and builds in your Minecraft world.

Or if continuity to vanilla means nothing to you, then the best way to get out of your comfort zone is by trying an insane pack like RL craft. If you wanna put your sanity and skills to risk, then there’s nothing quite like it. And finally if all those

Weren’t enough of a challenge for you, then why not try to join under 2b2t and try to survive. But hey, by the time that you connect to that server the whole thing might already be done anyway and you can leave your shelter in place. Who knows, maybe give it a shot.
