A bit of a problem

[Hoff]

So I've hit a bit of a stump in my minecraft playing. I have one of those memories that if I see something done, I don't really need to do it as I can re-create it in my memory and feel as if I have experienced, and accomplished it. I've come to the point where I've done anything I felt worth doing even after having been through the process mentally. As such most games have 0 replay value for me but minecraft was generally different because I could change what I was doing. Now I've hit the point where nothing is new and I have no desire to do what I've done again. So I'd like any random feedback you'd be willing to give on what I can do to re-ignite the spark of minecraft.
I've open to most ideas if not all, even if biased against those that add artificial length to the game(Any sort of repetitious activity to achieve a similar goal without said mod. They serve no purpose for me).

-Texture packs! They can add a whole new breath of life into the game.
-New mods! MPS and MFR are friggin amazing, and extend the game in a million ways.
-Delete the nether and the end and start over!
-Focus heavily on aesthetics, spend a lot of time building something that looks good and you'll have fun doing it.

That's what I do when I get bored, I can help in any respect with additional pointers.

There's also the oft-forgotten option of taking a break.

It makes you appreciate the game a lot more when you come back to it. It's always worked for me.

Yeah... Asthetics... I have absolutely no creativity. I don't really see much difference in dirt versus stone brick. Well that's a bit extreme but you catch my drift?

I've also tried this a few times, with many games minecraft included, and it usually ends with me having played through the entire game, mentally, 10 minutes in. I dunno maybe it's hopeless but I would like to find something new in minecraft.

You'd be surprised actually, google some modern architecture or modern houses and copy them in Minecraft. They're easy to replicate and make look good, and they're really good looking and you'll learn along the way.

There are lots of cool features being added to mods lately, you should try to come up with your own interesting use of these, for example I made a liquid sorting system using tesseracts.

Join a server, honestly its one of the best things you can do. (you'll probably go through at least 10 before you find one you like)

Think of one particular item production chain, power source, sorting or processing system, something moderately complex like that. Try to remember the possible methods of building it you considered before you went with the one you did. Now pick the second best method, and try to implement that as efficiently as you can.

Play other games. Even if you want to play Minecraft, but you're bored with it, there's no point in trying to play it. Go for another game for a while. Eventually, you'll come back to Minecraft and there will be a dozen new features between vanilla and modded Minecraft.

Just do something different. It helps.

Thank you for all the ideas. I'm going to try several of them and well if they don't work out I guess I will just take a break from minecraft. Which means pretty much all gaming lol.
