Ways to make Minecraft Fun again.
A game that doesn't have any storyline, missions or objectives sounds pretty boring right?. Minecraft may lack those three things that make most games work, but it doesn't need them. Minecraft is essentially virtual Lego where you can do whatever you like within your world, to say the possibilities are endless would be a bit of a lie, but it's not far off. Markus Persson the mastermind behind one of the biggest games of all time has managed to pull of a truly awesome feat by creating Minecraft and I can safely safe I have managed to clock up a lot of hours playing the game. The reason I have created this blog post is because I recently became very bored of the game, due to running out of ideas and not having the skill set to create some of the things that I have seen others pull off, I mean lets be honest If we could never see other peoples builds in photos or videos online Minecraft would have died out a long time ago but because we are constantly seeing other amazing building and creations it spurs us on to create are own better worlds right?. Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition is unfortunately lagging behind the PC version of the game in terms of what you have available to you and the fact that they are endless Mods available on the PC to keep you entertained on the game means that owners of the XBLA version have to just suffer without. I have never played the PC version of the game myself however I have watched more than enough videos on Youtube and Twitch to know that the PC version of Minecraft is far Superior to the Xbox 360 Edition. I hope that these ideas will help you get back into enjoying the wonderful world of Minecraft.
Set yourself a Project.
One of the main reasons I get bored of Minecraft to easy is because I can't stick to a project long enough. When ever I seem to start building something, I decide that I want to build something else and it seems to constantly go on & on and I never seem to get anything proper built. I recently took to creating my own little project in my Minecraft world and for once I have managed to stick to it. I started out with the idea that I would build a Christmas themed world, complete with a Santa's grotto, reindeer's, presents, you get the picture. The thing I found out is that once I had the foundations down and had a rough Idea of where I was going with the world I wanted to create. The game instantly became more fun as each time I loaded the game up I had a purpose and wasn't just aimlessly walking around wasting my time. Simply google cool Minecraft projects or ideas and pick something you would like to do and then stick at it, trust me you will start to fall in love with the game again.

- Minecraft Infected: This is quite possibly one of my favourite Minecraft mini games on the Xbox 360 right now and it really is a must play, I'm not saying the rest aren't cool its just personal preference. The goal of the game is pretty simple; One person starts out as infected, and the rest start as survivors. The goal of the infected person is to kill the survivors. Once a survivor is killed, he re spawns as infected. The infected have unlimited re spawns (this isn't always the case some hosts will have different rules). Once a survivor is infected, he helps infect the rest of the survivors. The last survivor remaining wins. As you can Imagine this game is carnage from start to finish, I can't believe how nervous I was getting over playing Minecraft the very first time I played Infected.
