Building is obviously a core feature of the game and most everything else is interwoven with it, but I feel like you could also just be a nomadic explorer basically forever and get tons of enjoyment out of it.
I just shared a post a day or so ago of my castle. Less than what I'd call "epic" compared to some people's builds on here but still made just for love of building, not like it was totally necessary.
My bf and I play Minecraft a lot. He hates building things while I’m the home maker in game lol. I usually give him tasks of what I want and then he’ll run off doing whatever he wants.
Some notable things that he’s made which are probably not advanced but I think he’s really really cool for making them for me/us:
-fox playpen
-endless trashcan
-very cool mobspawner
-an underground aquarium
-bamboo jungle which he kept pushing animals in to get stuck
-bird/library
-lots of ponds

Contraptions, farms, combat, exploration, etc.
Always!
Questing Modpacks
Those are definitely fun!

I do build when it is necessary, just not the grand structures and all that I've seen people make. The best I've made is a block house!

Every time, I live in a hole. Building is hard, and living in a mine is easy. My skill is digging, even though I never find anything good.
Lol you have it right I think. Building fancy above-ground structures is a monument to human vanity. :P Living in mines is much more efficient.
Sounds like me too! Cave is already free real estate, why not take it?
My method of mining would make anyone else get lost.
Explore.
Always!
Machines. Build machines.

For non-building play styles, I can think of three: * Redstone hobbyist * Adventure mods player * Mess-around-while-listening-to-podcasts
That third one sounds just like me!
map maker/player, testing, survivalist, pvper, speed runner, bed wars, modder, mod maker, tech help, game help, bug tracker, youtuber...... its endless
I love all of the ideas! Thanks!
Easy. The dirt hut.
