ive been playing this game since 2011 when i was in middle school and im still coming back to it. im sinking hours into it after work while my puppy sleeps next to my desk and my gf is working evening shift. its such a cozy game and reminds me of when i spent all day after school playing MC and other games w friends. its not just nostalgia tho, its just such a cute game that can be whatever the player wants. after all this time, i still derive so much joy from exploring a new world, building a sprawling estate, spelunking, and even just mining. even tho MC doesnt track ur hours played, im certain its my most played game
just wanted to share that i love this game 
Ask them to get some mods to alleviate it
It is modded. I’m just not interested in the minecraft formula anymore. I know there’s plenty of unique stuff out there, and some of the automation mods did catch my interest for a few hours, but idk, the overall ‘feel’ of the game just gives me a big ‘been there, done that’ feeling. Its not really cozy for me, just tedious.
Oh I get that
You could look into something like TerraFirmaCraft eventually, but if that’s also just kind of “been there done that” I think that’s fine, it’s good to have boundaries and just be bored sometimes with a game and not want to play it
