Minecraft is a game with endless possibilities! Players can let loose their creativity to make pieces of art in terms of structures, memes, and functional things using different tools available or try out a more casual approach, mining and collecting resources, building a cozy base, completing quests and challenges, and so on.

However, there are times when players get bored as they don't know what to do next or are bored with the real world and want to try something fun in Minecraft.

If you are one such player, we have got five best things to do in Minecraft when you are bored.

You can do multiple things in Minecraft when you are bored, from playing Hardcore mode for some real challenge to clearing Raids, collecting Mobs, and building functional things like Roller Coasters, spaceships, etc.

But in this list, we have selected some of the activities that we think you should engage in Minecraft while you are bored.

Before we move on to the list, remember that the activities we have mentioned are subjective, and some of you might find them boring.

In that case, please let us know what type of activities interests you in the comments, and we will prepare a list based on that preference.

Building A Massive Base

Base building is one of the staple features of survival games, and in Minecraft, there are nearly endless opportunities, as you can make anything.

When we say anything, we do mean anything! Just like YouTuber FoundInMN, who recreated Earth in Minecraft.

While we are not saying you should also recreate Earth or anything like that, building a massive functional base with things like giant statues, gates, cities, castles, and such things keeps you engaged when you are bored.

Collecting Music Discs To Spice Things Up

Did you know Minecraft has Music Discs with different scores that you can collect and play to change the BGM? Well! Now you do!

You can collect many Music Discs as an RNG drop from mobs, Treasure Chests, and other means.

So, if you are bored, why not make a list of all the Music Discs in the game and start collecting them all?

Trying Out Mods

Mods are one of the best means of getting unique items, Shaders, and other things, while the big ones (Modpacks) introduce a ton of RPG elements along with new activities, quests, tasks, and such.

Experiment with different mods in Minecraft when you are bored, as a set of certain mods can make your game visually better, while some, as we said earlier, like the Prominence II RPG: Hasturian Era, make the game completely different, introducing brand new story, bosses, RPG elements like skills, character level ups and such things.

Creating Zones

Whenever you load into a Minecraft world, you find it different than your previous one.

Each player, until and unless they are in your world, will have a different location for certain mob spawns, mineral nodes, settlements, etc.

So whenever you are bored, take some supplies with you and go on an adventurous journey to find great spots to build safe settlements surrounded by useful items and resources.

Making bases in different biomes rich in various resources will allow you to better farm items and many rare things.

While you are at it, you can also use Nether Portals to connect these zones, which will make things even better!

Learning And Implementing Redstone Circuits

The Redstone Circuits allow you to automate your base and create some of the most superb functional structures.

Understanding how these Redstone Circuits work is difficult but fun, especially when you start understanding the mechanics.

So, if you are bored, why not spend time learning about the different Circuit Types, how they work, and such things while testing your knowledge on small projects?
