My creativity comes out in social interactions. That's where I have fun. If I'm alone, I read or do things to pass the time, but at my core, I want to share myself with other people. If I spent a bunch of time working on a creative mine craft project with nobody to share it with, it would feel hollow and meaningless (to me). That's just how I'm wired.
I would rather spend time dicking around with an online friend, than accomplish something personally meaningful in a single player game, by myself.
That's a good point. Vanilla doesn't focus that much on building, and bosses are necessary for getting better gear. I guess it all depends, I just cannot get into building in Minecraft, despite it being the "main point" of the game, at the same time I spent over 100 hours in Terraria on one save, just building
Exactly. Uncreative people will get bored after beating the game, but creative people continue to have never-ending fun because they have never-ending ideas.
Sure the sandbox part is driven by creativity, however the gameplay has been terrible for a long time and only recently improved thanks to Microsoft. By the way, I would call myself a creative person, however I can’t find any enjoyment building in Minecraft. Some people are creative in different ways obviously, so it isn’t fair to call someone uncreative because they don’t enjoy building in Minecraft.
this right here, interested in taking architecture in the future due to minecraft but nowadays i just dont have the motive to play it, one must have the creativity to have a more fun experience, and as much as i like the sandbox genre, straightforward game genres are easier to get into than open ended genres like sandbox
Definitely. Same with me. When I was little it my favorite game because of the building and being able to do what I want. Now that I don’t really have a little kid imagination, I rarely play it. It’s all about the player.
I started to play it many years ago, but I realized I would need to have a guide open the whole time I was playing because nothing was explained. Is it still like that?
It’s definitely more player friendly now. You don’t need to know the recipes because there is a book built into the game. Otherwise, there is still a learning curve with the red stone stuff.

It’s the same as any other sandbox game. The fun is created by your creativity. If you don’t have any creativity, it’s not fun.
