Me and a group of friends always have a yearly Minecraft stage but it always ends up with only a couple of us actually building and the others only join for the first day and then stop playing. When asked they always say that they just don’t know what or how to build so they just run around exploring and then come off.
If you enjoy building build a base that all of you can live in, I also am trash at building and my one friend is like the designated castle builder. When I have a cool base I want to play more.
