List of Things to Do in Vanilla Minecraft
Because me and my boyfriends tend to get lost in just how much there is that we can do I think a list like this could be good to have. None of these are in any specific order, just whatever came to mind first. Reblog and add things if youād like!
Build a shelter of some sort. Can be expanded upon later or focused on before doing anything else.
Gather food, youāll need it if youāre playing on anything but peaceful.
Find yourself some diamonds cuz everyone loves those funky blue gems
Make a āblaze farmā of sorts in the fortress
Fight off Ghasts using only a sword or only a bow, challenge yourself if fighting them off is boring
Collect Wither skulls from Wither skeletons
Get yourself some nether wart, and soulsand to grow it on and to spawn the Wither
If youāre confident or prepared(or both), you can kill the Wither now to make yourself a beacon with the nether star
Collect those ender pearls, you will need a lot of them
Prep yourself for the ender dragon fight with high tier armor
Make an enchantment table, enchant your goods! (I recommend waiting until you have 30 levels to spend and then going for those 30 level enchantments)
Because exp is a necessity for enchanting, maybe make a mob farm! Thereās loads of tutorials and different ways to farm mobs on YouTube
Find a stronghold on the overworld
R a i d the stronghold and find that end portal
Go to the end! Fight that ender dragon! Read the end poem!
Go back to the end, collect the egg with pistons
Get yourself an elytra, or two, or three, you might want a lot of them
At this point youāll probably have gone through just about all of the āstorylineā stuff. Thereās plenty of other things to do in Minecraft though!
Find an ocean monument, collect sponges and prismarine and beat up the elder guardian so itās easier to collect it all
Find drowned villages, they have treasure maps you can follow to get hearts of the sea!
Make a conduit so underwater is a far less dangerous place to be
Find woodland mansions in dark oak forests, raid and pillage them and maybe renovate the place into a new home away from home!
Find one of each type of structure, if youāve followed this list to a T youāll probs have found plenty already, but thereās so many to discover!
Build individual places for each survival thing, a hut for your potion crafting, a library for enchanting, a room all for your nether portalā¦anything!
Collect one of each colored sheep, having a pen of them all is really pleasing
Make a ranch! Have separate pens for cows and chickens and pigs, make it fun and organized to take care of those funky dudes!
Collect one of each horse color
Learn redstone, use your redstone knowledge to make automated farms and sorting machines to make building and surviving easier
Finish all of the in game achievements!
Collect a pack of wolves, take care of them, they love you so much
Get one of each cat! Bonus points if this list is looked at after the 1.14 update and you get ocelots too.
Collect all of the alpaca, bonus points if you collect multiple of either one type or all types and give each one a separate colored saddle and chests to make each one unique
Create an aquarium and hold all the new fish in there!
Make a home in every biome, you can go as specific or as general as youād like with what classifies as a different biome
Upgrade a vanilla village
Upgrade any other natural structure
If playing with multiple friends, prank them, donāt grief them, but prank them
Go strip mining! Like the real strip mining, not the one we all call strip mining which is actually branch mining lol
Make your mines look pretty
Get creative with how each item can be placed and used to decorate a home, upside down stairs one right next to the other look like a little bench or table, and maps can become custom paintings if you place your blocks right
Minecraft YouTubers really are the backbone of our society, so many of them have ideas and creations that can inspire you. If something isnāt on this list, they might have it in a video.
