What do?

[Onikrex]

Hey guys, I just had a quick request for you.

I started playing a few weeks ago, and I'm getting kind of bored. I'm not huge into making giant buildings and I've got most of my machines running perfectly, everything is automated. So, I'm bored. I really enjoy exploring, but I've explored the hell out of the Overworld, Nether, and Twilight Forest. My friends, who are the only other 2 on our server, really don't do too much. One focus' on making bigger machines, so he doesn't do much. The other one isn't online much, and when he is, he stays in his base.

My request is; Give me ideas.

Do I want to try an actual server? I can't imagine those being too fun, everything is already explored, baes made, What exactly is the point of servers?

I kinda wanted to try some adventure maps, where do I go about to find those? And anyone know of any super good ones?

Thanks c:

Playing other games will make you realize how much you love minecraft .

Sounds like Adventure maps are the only thing left for your playstyle since your not much into the building part of thing

He's just being snarky.
Some people digress/snark here a lot, but you can just ignore it.
This community is much nicer than my old one - I grew used to jerks a lot in there.
Also, have you ever heard of the search bar?
There's a fuckton of posts like yours - find something you actually like, and go after it.

Were you unable to get past rule 4?

Snarky? I would use the word 'elitist'. And he's not the only one to have exhibited this behaviour on here.

It's a common occurrence among people who have been members of a particular forum for a long time, and have seen many similar threads pop up over the months. What they forget however is that not every one has been here for as long as they have, or played the game for as long as they have, or have as much knowledge and experience as they do. And I'm not even talking just about this thread.

This is a perfectly valid question in my opinion. I suspect most of us have at some point felt uninspired and were out of ideas on what to do next; I know I have at least, several times. Asking for suggestions on a forum is not a crime. I am aware there have been similar threads in the past, but I haven't seen people treat RP2 and GT threads with the same amount of contempt, and they definitely are way more common.

Hey I'm just here to help. So to add to my suggestion of adventure maps...and incase others felling the same as the OP here that now fear for there life to post there own such request for ideas here is something I did in another thread much like this one. I hope it helps someone.

Shoop's Ideas for projects
A note from the shoop. I do not have any sort of collect all the X or any of that in this list as those are fairly simple and hopefully you don't need someone to tell you collecting one of every bee could be a project.

The problem is new people don't know how to operate a search bar.

Lets read my post again. "PAST rule 4" What comes after 4? That'd be 5.

 

[Wekmor]

And the guy who has the most non-topic posts is Onikrex.

Anyways, my tipps for when you get bored.
Take just a few things with you and start again somewhere else, and play with stuff you haven't used before. Think of new ways to create power, etc.

 

[SatanicSanta]

Automating Thaumcraft is usually extremely difficult. I second Wekmors suggestion. Usually when I get bored I either forget about that world and start a new one, or move far away with just some tools, a batbox, and a furnace and mess around with different things. Or you can always reset your server.

 

[fergcraft]

[tehBlobLord]

I advise that you create sheep-torturing machine which burns, lasers, particle-accelerates, drops, slices and anything else you can think of.
Then make a video of it and spam it everywhere you see Saice.
