And love you’re playing a crazy amount and loving it but after a couple weeks or so the excitement isn’t there anymore y’all would really love to make amazing builds and redstone contraptions just like you see on YouTube and twitch but whenever you try and start a new project

Of Minecraft alright guys I’m gonna be real with you I’m not gonna pull any of that clickbait stuff I’m gonna just give you guys my best piece of advice right now so what I’m really trying to say is that before you start on any projects you gotta have

Goals before we can make any real progress towards well anything we gotta have a concrete well-defined goal in mind and that could be pretty much anything maybe you want to build a giant mega base or you want to work on your texturing and detailing maybe you want

To invent a new Redstone Contraption or just to Vibe out with your friends all of these sound like a really dope time and a lot of fun but if none of these sound appealing to you maybe do some thinking on what you really enjoy about Minecraft many people think they enjoy

Minecraft but in reality they enjoy the nostalgic memories of playing Minecraft as a child and if that’s the case there’s nothing wrong with that you just might not enjoy the game as much coming back to it now if you’re just playing Minecraft because why not well that’s

Totally valid I just wouldn’t set your expectations super high on what what you’re trying to accomplish but maybe that’s not the problem maybe you do really enjoy Minecraft and you have a good goal in mind but you still find yourself getting burned out well let’s see what we can do

Break out of your habits Minecraft is an old game and even though this game has changed a lot since 2009 I can’t always say the same about its players one thing that I’ve noticed from playing Minecraft with a lot of my friends is that a lot

Of people fall back on Old Habits really easily especially if you’ve owned the game for a long time I bet that you have a specific way that you always play Minecraft you build a certain way you farm certain crops you live in certain biomes your house probably is in the

Same general style and that’s okay but if you’re feeling unmotivated and you’re also not taking advantage of newer features then it’s probably time to broaden your horizons I’ve seen so many times people will pick up the game again and just play like it’s 2012 all over again and I’m sitting here thinking like

Hey you know they’ve added stuff to the game in the past 10 years that’s right like you don’t need to branch mine Farm wheat build up your little rectangle Oakwood and cobblestone house like if that’s your thing I’m not gonna stop you but if you want to enjoy this game for

Longer try playing more of it by the way if you want some more suggestions for how to kind of mix up your gameplay style stay tuned for tip number four I’ll be getting right back to that do some soul searching find what aspects of Minecraft speak to you the most and

Which ones don’t I’m pretty confident that everyone who enjoys playing Minecraft has some specific aspect about the game that they are really passionate about it can be as vague or as specific as you want but I would bet that everyone here has got some little thing that they just absolutely love doing

Sometimes it’s not immediately obvious or you might not even know it at all but the fact that we’re all here as Minecraft players means that something is continually drawing us to this game and I encourage you all to sit down think it through and find what that is

For you and if you already know or you have an idea comment below what it is I’m really curious what you guys have to say for me is building of course but more specifically I find myself endlessly fascinated by the increasingly creative things people do with our limited texture and color palette seeing

A block used in a really creative way or a collection of blocks making a unique shape or Texture is just so exciting if you aren’t sure what speaks to you that’s okay you’re in a really good position to Branch out and explore a variety of different things let’s see

What we can find together try exploring a different style of Minecraft Gameplay building off of what I was talking about in tip 2. there’s so many ways to play this game and so many different skills you can learn I’m sure that most of you know that Minecraft

Skills are generally split up into three categories building Redstone and combat chances are you mostly dabble in one of these and well if you’re following my channel it’s probably building that’s already such a broad term we’ve got terraforming organic shapes custom foliage texturing detailing color theory

The list goes on and on and on and of course Redstone can mean anything from farms and Contraptions to abusing game mechanics and glitches or straight up building whole computers in Minecraft I don’t know how people are doing that but go off combat oh man combat is arguably

The biggest aspect of them all seriously we got everything from speed running to parkour to Manhunt mini games Bed Wars like actual PVP Minecraft’s got a surprisingly crazy high skill ceiling for just being a funny little block game anyways my point is that if you’re having trouble finding what really

Ignites your passion in Minecraft try exploring a bunch of different Pathways I find myself really enjoying the building process in this game and watching myself improve over the years but of course not everyone is like me sometimes you just need a goal to achieve a simple reason for playing

Give yourself a reason for playing alright so these previous tips are cool and all but let’s be real it’s been super conceptual and vague up until this point sometimes you just need to be told do this or work on this and that’s what drives you as a Sandbox game Minecraft

Is often a bit lacking in the whole concrete goals they give you front but if we look closely we can find and make some really fun ones let me just rattle off a few that I think could appeal to all kinds of players first of all try

Beating the game you’d be surprised how many people have never killed the Ender Dragon if you haven’t killed the Ender Dragon yet what are you waiting for go get on that collect every block item or mob you’d be surprised how much of a grind it is and making a giant Museum or

Artery hall or Zoo to display your hard work is very satisfying get all the achievements it’s actually really really hard if you’re not like a crazy cracked out speedrunner this one will definitely take you a while defeat every boss honestly very few Minecraft players can say that they’ve defeated the Ender

Dragon wither Warden and an elder Guardian all in one Minecraft world I certainly haven’t or maybe you want to set a more specific more low-key building goal like say only making organic style builds or Building without using any stone you know the most common building block give it a try sometime

You might really enjoy the challenge if you feel like Minecraft is too slow for your liking then try to optimize your routine kinda like what I was talking about before with people playing the game like us 2012. I really want to mention how they’ve added so many cool

Features and mechanics that really speed up the game after all if you’re just trying to make cool builds you don’t really need to play through the early game things like bone meal Farms villager trading Halls shulker Farms elytra dye Farms concrete makers pigland bartering stations and many other little

Techniques all exist to get you more items more quickly no one likes to have to manually gather materials by hand it’s boring so if you’re still farming Stone concrete bricks or whatever other common materials the old-fashioned way give some thought to these newfangled techniques they really might save you a ton of hours

How do the pros do it so well it’s very easy to look at these professional Minecrafters that you see on places like hermitcraft or the Empire server and completely Overlook the massive grind that goes into each and every project and I don’t blame you if we saw every

Minute of behind the scenes footage for these builds we’d be here all day and then some but the fact of the matter is if you’re gonna make bills on this scale you simply have to pace yourself I’ve had this problem before you get really hyped about Minecraft you got some crazy

Idea that you can’t wait to pull off and you do like a bunch of all-nighters playing the game non-stop but as much fun as it is to Breeze through the game once you hit a certain point the burnout hits hard and so I’ve learned don’t ease up all your Minecraft enthusiasm in a

Week as exciting as it is to start a new Minecraft world for the first time especially with friends if you want to get big projects done your best off going slow and steady because well slow and steady wins the race If you made it this far you’ve probably enjoyed the video so a like on it would be greatly appreciated and of course if you have any suggestions for future videos I would love to hear them down in the comments until next time Gamers this has been Leon and I’ll see you all in
