How to Make Minecraft Singleplayer More FUN!

by DevilSpade in Subcultures, January 10, 2012

Minecraft singleplayer is cool but some people are bored faster than mojang can come up with cool updates. For that sole purpose people make mods. Here I will show you six mods that significantly improve the game gameplay wise. So no hacks or anything but only mods that will make minecraft more fun to play for you!

3) Trees, trees, trees:

There’s lots of standard minecraft trees that you might encounter in the deep forests of regular minecraft, but I’ve added new ones too. As I mentioned in the intro, there’s a new type of tree that creates a canopy over most of the world. And I’m sure you’ve seen the trees so big that I had to lower the ground to make room. There’s a few other new ones too, including mangrove-type trees in the swamps. In a future update there will be new saplings that you can bring back to your existing minecraft world.

4) Ancient ruins and other structures:

The Twilight Forest has existed for millennia and has seen the rise and fall of countless civilizations. At present there’s about a half-dozen types of ruins and other structures you can find in the world, but I have plans for more. These are intended to give the place more of a mystical feel, to give the player an impression that more is going on in the world than they can comprehend at first glace.

5) The Hollow Hills!:

You may see these rising in the distance if you poke your head above the canopy layer, but that can’t prepare you for what you’ll find when you mine into one of these (or find them naturally cracked open by geological forces.) Ores glitter on unreachable stalactites above, lit occasionally by glowstone. You’ll want to bring plenty of torches though, as the hills are defended by monsters. If you persist you may even find a treasure chest or two. There are several sizes of hill, and the larger hills have rarer ores, more valuable treasures, and of course, more and more dangerous monsters.

6) New Dangers!:

The surface of the twilight world is peaceful, but new dangers lurk within dark and magical places. Cowardly goblins and fearsome wraiths dwell within the hollow hills. New species of spiders have been reported crawling across the walls of hedge mazes. Finally, the skeletal remains of an ancient order of druids have been reported guarding the ancient ruins across the landscape.

7) Mysterious Mazes:

Hedge mazes grow out of the misty forest soils. Brave adventurers have been known to return from these twisted brambles burdened by sacks filled with rare treasures. More often though, bloodcurdling screams indicate that victory belongs to the maze, and not the adventurer.

Quite rarely, and always in hushed tones, some speak of the existence of another type of maze. Legends tell of vast mazes, deep beneath the earth. The legends are vague but it is certain vast riches will belong to those who successfully delve these mazes.

Massive, Monstrous Bosses:

Well, just one boss at the moment. Perhaps we should be thankful for that. The serpentine Naga lurks in a walled courtyard deep in the woods. This is where I, the author, could use a little help making this fight the best it can be. Find this guy, try him out, and let me know how it goes in the comments.

The naga is intended to stay in his temple courtyard and will vanish if he leaves it, so keep that in mind. Powerful magics bind him to that place and cannot be tampered with.

Since the naga is intended to be the first boss, he’s intended to be a challenging, but not totally overwhelming fight. Partly, the difficulty depends on what you, the player, bring to the battle. He’s intended to be basically impossible without armor, very tough but still beatable in iron armor, and still dangerous in diamond armor.
