[WDYP] MINECRAFT

I just made up a new post format I believe could be useful. [WDYP] X

A post where people ask others why they still play a certain game X. This could help people gain ideas and new perspectives on the game they used to play but stopped because they got bored/lost interest in it or got dragged into another game that offered a more exciting reason to play it instead. OP can add reasons why they may still play the game or they could ask what makes others still come back to it.

I'll start. Why do you still play MINECRAFT? What are your goals within the game? What drives you to spend your time in this game's world? How do you play it?

What makes me return to Minecraft every once in a while is a small server that is very close to vanilla Minecraft (semi-anarchy) and if you die you get banned for 24h (semi-hardcore). You can play here similar to how you would play in your own single-player world but with the added threat of someone stumbling upon your base, as well as you potentially finding someone else's base. The server has a small player-run economy. I can log into this server and just mindlessly mine for diamonds when I'm tired and need some brain time off or fly around the map hunting for bases or player-left artifacts, building automatic farms, or simply cutting trees to sell to others. I don't play it every day, but this server always makes me boot Minecraft and stop by every couple of weeks or so.

If you play Minecraft, what makes you keep coming back to it?
