I have stated my question in the title. Also, if you suggest me to play with mods, which mods should I add? My computer is bad, so I would appreciate it if you did not suggest heavy mods.

maybe you just have a burn out and need to take a break for a while. and for mods, on curse forge you could filter by small/light and fine something you would enjoy and could run.

But why would you play if you are no longer enjoying the game? There are so many games...

[grassgamerstv]

General mods really bother me, so if anyone knows a good mod, I'd be happy if they wrote one.

Yeah definitely take a break from Minecraft. You have no obligation to playing it, take a breather and see if you'll enjoy it again later. And if not, then as @tntiseverywere said, there are tons of other games.

I "accidentally" quit the game, when it was basically the only game I played for years. I just stopped playing when I found other games, and stopped joining friends' SMPs when I discovered everyone (including me) stopped enjoying them after 14 days anyway 😅... Happily playing a ton of other games now.

This is relatable, falling in and out of love with minecraft every few years 😂

Totally get what you mean — I’ve hit that burnout point with Minecraft too, where you don’t really enjoy it but don’t want to fully quit either. One thing that helped me was switching up the vibe completely. Trying lightweight mods like OptiFine or JourneyMap can give the game a new feel without stressing your PC.
Also, sometimes taking a short break and exploring other games helps you come back with fresh interest. I tried Summertime Saga Mod APK recently — it’s a completely different type of game, more story-based, but it kind of reminded me how fun games can be when the experience feels new. It helped me reset before jumping back into Minecraft again.

@grassgamerstv I've seen a mod, where everyone builds their own house trying to reconstruct the world. Sounds really fun tbh! But idk where you could find the mod...

@grassgamerstv

Totally understandable. Minecraft burnout is super common!

But here it is some tips:

1. Change Your Playstyle

Sometimes it’s not the game, it’s the routine. Try one of these:

• Hardcore survival with a twist: Pick a theme like “no mining” or “nomad life” where you can’t stay in one place too long.
  
• Minimalist base challenge: Limit your building to 10x10 blocks. Get creative under pressure.
  
• Redstone automation run: Try automating farming, mining, or mob traps. It can be super satisfying.

2. Set a Goal or Join a Community

• Start a long-term project: Like recreating your house IRL, or building a fantasy kingdom.
  
• Join a small SMP server: Playing with even 2-3 people can give the game new life.
  
• Speedrun something: Like beating the Ender Dragon with weird restrictions (no armor, no shields, etc.)

3. Switch to a Different Version

• Try an older version like 1.12.2 or 1.7.10—there are tons of mods and it runs better on lower-end PCs.

4. Try Lightweight Mods or Modpacks

You can enhance your experience without killing your PC. Here are low-end-friendly mods:

🔹 Must-Try Lightweight Mods

• JourneyMap (MiniMap Only Mode) – Great for exploration without heavy world loading.
  
• AppleSkin – Adds food/hunger info. Tiny mod, very helpful.
  
• Just Enough Items (JEI) – See crafting recipes easily.
  
• Inventory Tweaks Renewed – Auto-sort your inventory.
  
• Fast Leaf Decay – Speeds up tree harvesting.
  
• Dynamic Surroundings Lite – Adds ambient sounds and visual tweaks (careful with older machines).
  

Don’t feel bad about stepping away from Minecraft. Sometimes walking away for a few months makes it feel fresh again later. In the meantime, experimenting with new games can help you find what you’re really craving—maybe it’s creativity, challenge, or just something chill to relax with.
