Portal or Minecraft.
I've played so much Minecraft that I have everything down to a science.
Like quickly making a wooden pickaxe, mining exactly how much cobble I need for a furnace and a stone pickaxe, and how to find coal and iron in less than 5 minutes.
Wood and stone tools, outside the two pickaxes, are skipped entirely.
Before the end of the first night I am almost entirely decked out in iron stuff.
Farming cows for bookshelves for enchanting is quick and easy, and then getting fortune 3 and looting 3 pretty much makes the game easy mode. You print ores and food.
Not to mention you can get mending from a villager easily. Just pick up and put down the job station until they give you mending. It's not skill, it's just luck. You can get it in less than 2 minutes if you're lucky. Now you'll never have to worry about anything ever breaking again. You can also get fortune and looting this way as well, removing the need to waste time and materials on the enchanting table.
It's sad. I wish I could erase my knowledge of it, and play Minecraft how I used to. By savoring my enchanted items, creaming my pants at the sight of diamonds, and grinding hard for food.
If you haven't already, try some modpacks. For extra difficulty, the packs based on GregTech are pretty amazing, like GregTech: New Horizons or Nomifactory. They make it so complicated to produce items that you're kind of forced to automate things, and then you keep expanding what your automation can do.
GTNH takes like 2 years to build a pair of star gates if you're playing alone, and they keep making it harder. It's a massive amount of content.
I've never heard of those, but I'll take a look. Thanks!
I've actually been playing a bunch of Vintage Story to fill the void, but when I go back to Minecraft I'll give those a try!
