I guess it depends on the person. Personally I don't like mining for materials much but when I'm actually building I can't stop playing. Maybe try some mods to get your moneys worth.
someone helped me with this too download eden from the app store its like a knockoff of Mine Craft but its super fun, i just wish you could add people or animated things :/
before i got the game i thought "whats so popular about this?" and i decided that if its so popular that id give it a try and now i love it.
Multilayer My favorite aspect of minecraft is the multilayer feature, yeah setting a server up takes a bit of time but it's a great experience
Minecraft is a great game ifyou fully dedicate yourself to it and play on a server with friends. If you hack (playing like a noob) it can get boring after the first few hours. Personally I have an addiction and cannot stop playing.
i started playing again yesterday on a new world and i can honestly say that i will probably put 40 hours into it this week.
