You can make Minecraft fun by never building a base. You keep a bed with you, but you never expect to die or respawn. You just wander, going from place to place, always exploring, and keeping the fun of a new world forever.
I'm all too familiar with the feeling of booting up a new world with big expectations; expecting my world to be the one I would play for years and look back with nostalgia for years to come, only for me to feel too overwhelmed and start the cycle again. It's very telling that I want to relive a time of simplicity and innocence, from when I played as a child; that sense of wonder and enthusiasm now fading as I get older.
Honestly your expectations is just like mine except I actually do play it and now in this one survival world I play, I have full enchanted diamond armor and now I'm trying to kill the ender dragon
because of our too many responsibility, we can't think of enjoying minecraft instead we think of our problems.. thats why its best when you play it when you're kid.
I feel the same about those expectations. Minecraft sometimes feels like real life. As a kid you can focus on one thing. As an adult there is so much going on and the longer you are in a Minecraft world the more there is to do and you tend to interact with others and the world less. You build farms, need to check them and then there is little to no room for playing together or exploring.
this video isnt just about us growing up and slowly drifting away from games and trying to get our childhood back. This is a video about life. This video shows how people change and how much work and dedication that you put in pays off.
@@MickeyMouse-lm6zj To me old versions are boring and there's almost nothing to do in them nowadays, crazy to think that I enjoyed the game more a couple years back.
@@MickeyMouse-lm6zj Microsoft doesn’t make any of the versions, mojang does. Microsoft has relatively limited control over what actually goes into the game, and have only been relevant to Mojang for a few years maybe. Also Notch’s code and game design was actually pretty crappy and the game is much better from basically every angle for having Mojang developing it. The reason we associate the newer versions with a worse experience is because Mojang is basically suffering from the same type of thing this video is talking about. They’re running out of ideas now, and this would have happened to Notch too.
I played hardcore mode for the first time ever this month. Exploring on my own looking for a place to settle I stumbled on a overgrown zombie village for the first time. It was at the base of a valley between two snowy jagged mountain ranges with a waterfall on one side and a destroyed portal on the other. My new job was to restore it to working order with the last piece being the portal. I won't ever forget this world. There was a reason that portal exploded and zombified everyone. Landed in lava right on the other side 😂
I love that idea! At some point I built a base on an island by an ocean monument with an underwater ruin nearby as well as a shipwreck for good measure. Instead of a base, I built a science lab and made investigations of the three underwater sites. I kept each piece of treasure as separate artifacts, and took notes on how the people must have lived. It was really awesome! And then I started finding underwater geodes and imagined that a mining operation was trying to take over the science lab!
@@iLikeD1rt yeah it’s lost it’s meaning. Sometimes English evolves, not unliked parts of the subject matter in this video. Literally has come to be a word that denotes a hyperbole, so maybe we just need a new word for literally.
One massive tip i have is to just not even bother with Elytra. That may sound weird at first but, I've found the game to be much more fun when there is actual incentive to paving a road, laying minecart tracks, or even carving a canal for boats. I tend to create travel networks between villages or player bases.
Not gonna lie, I only have one world, where I use an elytra and that's because it's Multiplayer and everyone is pretty spread out. And even then I mostly use the Nether. Its possible folks, you just gotta try.
I'm almost in tears watching this. Minecraft is a game I've loved ever since I was a teenager and now I'm in my late 20s. Every time that I've tried to go back to Minecraft in the last few years, I can't hold down a solid world and end up leaving Minecraft to go play something else. I feel as if the magic has gone slightly and every world is just a robotic run of grabbing basic tools, making a small shelter and getting to the nether. A few of my friends started a vanilla server a few days ago and I joined in. I felt a little bit of sparkle and magic had come back. Maybe it was nostalgia above anything else, but I had fun playing the game for the first time in a long while. This video gave me some inspiration to go back out and enjoy Minecraft again.
I like the purity of this video. Clear calm voice, barely any noticable music. Nice fitting visuals. This was a good recommendation before going to bed. I feel at peace
Bro same! I got recommended this when I was in bed too!

This video really captures the essence of Minecraft and brings back so many memories. It's amazing how a simple game can have such a profound impact on our lives. Thank you for this masterpiece.
This reminded me of all the Minecraft worlds I’ve made in the past decade, and I cannot believe how motivating this video was. It’s also strange to realize that we have all been through a similar situation where the game feels blank as opposed to how it used to be. It made me realize how many possibilities there are in an initially simple game like this one, and how the gameplay is largely determined on how you perceive it. Thank you so much for making this :>
So glad this video got recommended to me, as I’ve had this happen so many times, and wish I could play the game like I use to when I was a kid. I’ve never legitimately beat the ender dragon in survival and really want to. This videos definitely rekindled my desire to do that :)
same LOL since 2011 😂ig its sth normal tho (yo but the devs could def change the game up a bit to encourage plrs to beat the ender dragon more likely yk 😎) peace
How the hell is this so underrated? The quality, the pacing, everything in general is just so refreshing and professionally done. Get this man to at least 100k
Seeing this 2 months after being posted, I really needed this. I am so used to the "minecraft grind" for like the first two weeks. I get everything done, and then I get bored and stay away from minecraft for a while. It's good to see that I am not feeling the same thing. It's good to see others feel the same way and having their own solution to a problem. Great video brother, keep up the good work :)
When playing with cousins at my grandparents house we were all noobs and this is all we could do, now its different. You know from the get-go what to do instead of mixing or changing it, also genuinely getting older and maturing and losing some of my creativity from highschool and stuff. Thanks for this video and reminding me how it used to be like.
That's how I feel with subnautica. My first game was impactful, terrifying, and fun. But the second time around, it lost all of it's spark. It goes to show that it's about the journey, not the destination; and the same could be said for life. Set yourself a destination, and then enjoy the journey every step of the way there.
Flowstate casually dropping the most mind boggling, inspirational, exiting, motivational, vitalizing, touching piece of Minecraft content that would make Socrates proud
Another cool mod that lets you revisit the old days of Minecraft is Minecraft BTA (Better than adventure), it's basically a fork of 1.7.3 beta Minecraft that adds seasons, creative mode, new biomes and other stuff
This was... beautiful and inspirational at the same time, and this was the most calm and beautiful minecraft video i have ever watched and ur voice was so calm i almost fell asleep cuz of this vid, and the physics mod, shaders, everything u had on. Just felt realistic thanks, keep doing what u do
the camera work, words of advice, minecraft music in the background, all of it is beautifully done. thank you for the motivation to start playing minecraft again
I clicked on this video thinking you had many subscribers or something. You have 50, yet the quality of the video is very high-quality and you outdone yourself
thank you so much. this really inspired me. i needed this for so long, but never could find the energy to research videos that could help. i can’t even really find the energy to go to my setup and open minecraft. but this really did give me that boost of confidence. thank you once again, and i hope you have a wonderful life if we never speak again.
This found me in a moment of a searching to feel something through a yt video- and wow as soon as I clicked on the video I knew this was the message I needed to hear but hidden in the form of a regular old mc video. In my hole of endless scrolling trying to grasp at whatever will keep me entertained from myself, I see a video that could open up a world to another distraction from myself, and instead of being that type of video.. its speaking to me. And I feel heard and hopeful in this time to keep going. Thank you for this masterpiece and experience ♡
I just started a Minecraft server with some of my friends, and I think all of us have already started to get that boredom feeling. My original plan for my base was a simple castle theme, but I recently decided to try and go for something that's very different from what I usually do. That decision has made it much more motivating. I also just uploaded my first video on that server, and seeing the supportive comments is really inspiring, but it also keeps me accountable. Mixing things up, making RU-vid videos, and finding inspiration are great ways to keep Minecraft fun. Even though those tips seem obvious, sometimes people need to hear them again, so I hope your amazing video reaches many more people. :D
@Jonathan Doyle, I'm going for a very stylized theme. I'm bringing the End Dimension to the overworld and mixing it with some deepslate, so lots of floating islands. The main area of the base with all the storage systems and villagers will be a deepslate fortress with Japanese-style roofs. It'll be a mix of terraforming and constructing. Lots of digging blocks that are not insta-mineable unfortunately 😅.
@@flowstatevideoI’m so glad I’ve got recommended this video, real chill experience and mate you’re honestly a rare gem. I wish more channels were this genuine, you’ve earned a new sub 💙 :)
@@MickeyMouse-lm6zj old minecraft really isnt better, its just that you had more fun, and its nostalgia. do you really think that the flat world of over saturated grass blocks with almost nothing in it is better than current mc?
i was really just bored in my hardcore world, but this video actually helped me alot, not just in minecraft either in life too, maybe it is time for a change
Download some mods for terrain generation or structures and then travel to some brand new chunks. You've probably already got an Elytra and Fireworks so the journey will be no problem!
This is exactly the kind of Minecraft content I enjoy slow playthroughs of the game and not some fancy fast paced 1000 days survived in hardcore type of stuff. This was a very good video you did the whole of the Minecraft community a favor when you made this.
i AM afraid of change and i do get bored easily and i just know the advice that came from this video is going to stick with me. ive been going through A LOT recently but watching the man i love most and look up to more than anyone (tom), relate to this video in the same way i do makes me feel SO much better. incredible video please keep making more :)
I've struggled with being on and off Minecraft, it was the first game I ever played and I only started during quarantine. Now I'm older and Im exploring new games, I always go back but I haven't felt the same as I did back then. I miss the feeling I had exploring everything for the first time, and you've inspired me to do just that. I get comfortable and bored so maybe I'll take it slow and adventure a bit, looking for something new instead of looking for the past. Thank you so much for this, I needed it.
I’ve been using your modpack for a while now and honestly, its amazing. Right now i’ve reached about 83 days and i’ve only been exploring my world. Your videos give me so much inspiration for my worlds.
These videos give me a real "a tribute to Minecraft" type vibe and I love MC being talked about in this style of content. The softer spoken, smooth shots and narration over their thoughts of the game.
the day i started enjoying minecraft again was around 2 years ago now, and it was when i viewed it more as a the sandbox it is than just a game with progression and objectives. It's when I viewed the world as a canvas instead of a challenge, and by not limiting myself to the set path or advancements I freed myself to have more fun with the game. I still play in survival because I need some level of challenge and enjoy the breaks of necessity to repair tools or gather items. I also realized that having a server with friends who play the game in the same way as me really helped a ton.
They fucked up by adding a canonical endgame. It unavodably diluted the "sandbox" aesthetic of the game a lot. Ender dragon is awesome, but it should have been just another part of the world like the wither is.
@@isawadelapradera6490 100% this. It now feels strange to continue playing after having "finished" the End. Before, that was never an issue. The Nether just existed as a source of rare/special materials (glowstone, soul sand, netherrack) and fast transportation (8x the distance covered), so it was just a side thing you could use if you wanted, but nothing that affected any sort of "progression".
Today I installed the mod pack, removed some though, and set the shaders to fast. But, man, i had so much fun today Running around all the villages, the sulphur lakes, the highlands. Its so cool, never really ran around the world like that. The randomization on gear add so much. The backpack mod also really helps. Been keeping a little diary in a book and quill. Sleeping bags are fun! And placed an area tag in all the villages ive been to, making up names as i go. Thanks for the vanilla plus experience idea!
Your words sound so simple, but are so inspirational. I will remember your words when me and my friends repeat that pattern of playing for a week then abandoning the world which I can't tell you how many times that has happened. Thank you.
It took a while but I just got back into Minecraft. Mods with quests really helped me ease into the sense of discovery of new things to explore in the game. It’s comparable to when I first started playing the game back in beta 1.6. Finding this video and your channel has made my day. Thank you for making such amazing content & I hope to see you go far with this
I liked this video a lot for the aesthetic and advice. I have a few thoughts on the subject of "not getting tired of it" too. I watched another video a while back that, oddly enough, had an opposite suggestion from yours. It encouraged you to keep expanding your one home and base, not starting new worlds or abandoning homes. I think the argument was that the constant need to renew it is part the reason why it keeps getting stale. And if you're going to abandon your home over and over again or start up a new world over and over again instead of growing to new heights, then eventually, even that will get old. I can see the argument there too. Minecraft doesn't have exhilarating gameplay, and while the world is fun to explore, it really isn't *that* interesting. If it was, you could have fun just flying around it in Creative. But one of the unique appeals of Minecraft that makes up for these things is the fact that it is so stateful, especially in comparison to other games. Your progress is always there, not just in your items and stats like in an RPG, but in your tunnels, your builds, your discoveries, and the other marks you leave on an infinite world. When you keep starting over, you confine that state space and impose a limit, even though it doesn't exist otherwise. The vertical ascension from dirt to netherite is the addicting part of the game, but if you keep oscillating between the two, you naturally stop having joy in the vertical distance you're traversing as you become aware of your zero displacement. It begins to feel like a pointless illusion. That said, I do think that starting new bases is at least a better method of appeasing the itch to start fresh than starting new worlds. At least then you leave wonderful ruins and bouts of imagination in your wake. It would probably be a good idea to integrate each area you touch into your vision of your world though and visit frequently so to not feel depressed and lonely each time you revisit an old place. And it is also a good thing to not focus too much on the conquest of the world. If you intend to conquer it, you'll only have enchanted netherite armor, a dragon egg, and a big base with a charged beacon, and you've had that before. It is difficult to redefine the notion of progress beyond the tangible achievements, but as much as a player can do that, they should try to.
this video is so relatable, i feel like every minecraft player has done the good old joining a survival world making a base next to a village and then quitting after a week or two, this really got me enjoying minecraft again, thank you. And if you're reading this try not rushing your netherite and diamond tools, maybe do more advancements or explore more, making projects really gets you stuck in minecraft fun, would even be more great if you had friends to help out as well!
i don't know why , but i want to cry during this Video for no reason the background sound the OG minecraft Adventure that i always Love it the way that this man is talking it's making a one of my favourite minecraft video of my life it's just remembered me of some Minecraft RU-vidr that i was watching in 2013-2014 that's just perfect thanks You for That , Flowstate
This is such an underrated, well-made video. I feel like most of us don't realize how fast our favorite hobbies can become boring. Thank you for sharing this video because if really shows how there is always more to discover.
youre super inspirational, i was tired of high energizing my life too - in fact i just applied to so many things in a rush because of “summer season” coming along and also forgot to eat - i ate later! but this made me realize that… i should chill out, ride a wave or two, see where those applications take me now that the hard part is over thank you flow for reminding me to take care & not overstack on commissions
Love your commentary man. Script and contemplation is not just what Minecraft videos need, but what RU-vid needs. Keep going. One up-and-coming creator to another.
Maybe it's time to take a step back and play it once more. We're all too caught up in life that we forgot the things that made us truly happy. I'm generally surprised on the quality of the video that you've outputted. I can't wait to see what other videos you'll be coming up with.
Genuinely amazing video. The mods & shaders makes me want to play Minecraft again but I'm too busy building my business, maybe someday. Though this game will forever be a part of me and remind me of times when life were simpler. And for those still playing Minecraft, enjoy :)
What a video, WHAT A FUCKING VIDEO. This shit tells u to move on, to embrace change, to improve urself, to be patient, to act on the things u want and most importantly it shows u that everything will be good again (fun again) and that things aren’t always bad ( minecraft isn’t always boring) and u have to embrace what u have
I NEEDED this most emotional video i've ever watched on youtube, the minecraft sounds, the calm music, and the way you talk made my heart just fall out of my body.
You deserve so much more. The quality of this video, the smoothness, the peacefulness is everything. Thank you! I'll share this video with my friends cause we all have been feeling a bit bored of Minecraft, hopefully we all can seriously play again!
I loved the last point you made about mods. I used to feel the same and then I tried to play my first modpack with my friends on a server I made. It was absolutely invigorating. Now I think we've played about 40 or more modpacks together from start to finish (or at least until the point where all that's left is the damn quantum singularities lol), and I still never get tired of it. Of course sometimes you feel like you've seen the same mod a bunch of times, but it's easy to change the way it is played. The way you progress through the same mod can change so much because of the mods surrounding it, or because of custom configs. Modpacks are the "next step" of change in minecraft. Of course like you said, you can change the way you enjoy the game in vanilla easily and still enjoy it. But if you're ever in need of a true overhaul, an experience that you can simply never ever get in vanilla, try out some modpacks!
I loved how inspirational this video was and it really brought me down to the first time I played this game and how it was the biggest and most popular game of 2018 at least i think, I just want to thank you for you bringing back what to do in the game because I've gotten bored playing it and there was really nothing I could do as you said in the video and you saying things to congratulate me for making and building a awesome base or completing a hard challenge. all i want you to know is that I'm very thankful for you saying this I really do Thank you. Peace
Yoo I really like this! Your main point is honestly the truth; we get complacent really often with the things we do, so we don't try to change stuff up. I'm really glad I saw this, cuz I've been feeling the same way. I actually made a similar video like this more focused on minecraft servers, but I didn't even think of making the points that you made in this video. I also really appreciate your use of cinematics in the video; that's not something I see too often in mainstream content, and I think it's cool seeing it be used outside of the replay mod editing community :) Good luck mate; you're making some good stuff!!
This was the most inspirational, amazing, just all around perfect video I've ever seen and I'm really not just saying that, this video made me feel so relaxed and relieved. I believe you really can make it as a RU-vidr, keep following your dreams man and keep it up.
I listened to this, and i just have to say, great advice! I really love the slow and calm pace of the video. Really unique when it comes to Minecraft content. I'm definitely subscribing!
Ok this channel is one of the rare jewels on RU-vid. Please dont ever remove the way you make your videos.. calm, inspiring and not screaming. Never begging for subs or anything. ❤ Amazing.
Wow I haven't seen such a video in a long time. This really was inspirational and honestly, You did a good job and have earned my sub. Keep up the good Work!
Perfectly executed speech. There is a reason that when creating a new world, one of the settings is literally named “infinite”. Not all journeys have to come to end.
Really nicely done video! I always thought exploring was the most fun part of the game. I've been getting a little stuck, lately, trying to figure out a place to build a base, and this "philosophy" really rings true. I think you have to take Roy Kent's advice and remember that it's a game and you're supposed to have fun.
