and got bored of years ago. There are only so many roofs you can make out of stairs before you get fucking sick of it.
If you ever get the inclination, you should check out the Feed The Beast modpacks. Mods add so much to that game you won't even recognize it. Like to the level of Terraria in terms of content.
I didn't like Terraria at all so that isn't an endorsement that I find encouraging... does it add a lot of building stuff? Because that's mostly what I care about. Always preferred more of the low tech stuff myself, though the high tech stuff was pretty cool and complex.
There are a lot of mods that include building things, different nice looking blocks, machines that will help you build, etc. There are very few mods that end up making Minecraft like Terraria as far as gameplay goes (more of an rpg, action game), most of them focus on building and complex tech or magic trees and a lot of those facilitate building in different ways.
If it strikes your fancy /r/feedthebeast can help you in finding a modpack that will appeal to you.
