I read a few on Reddit and it can vastly change the experience if you follow simple rules or change simple settings.
A few examples:
Live purely underground as a dwarf and NEVER COME BACK UP.
Set the render distance to tiny, install a Silent Hill mod pack, put brightness to -100 with the options file, and set it to permanent night. You are VERY reliant on light and the game becomes a bit scarier.
Find multiple villages and connect them all using rails and have different farms at every village. Build up every village and use each village for a different purpose.
Live as a nomad and never settle in a place for more than one night. Just explore. When you die, go off in a different direction and start anew.
Keep a journal going and overdramatize everything. Act like a movie-character and do things that would look good in your book.
Tree Spirit challenge. You choose a tree, then start there. From then on, you can only move if you are touching wood.So you spread nature everywhere to be able to move.
I usually play with Custom Commands. For example, my favorite is RedEngineer's Alchemy Survival. (If you like Skyblock or have a ton of lapis ore and coal blocks I recommend this.)

Watch out for the crabocalypse. Some say the day will never come. But it will.
Feel free to drop by for a chat whenever.
If you'd like to talk with me about other games, here are a few I play.
Team Fortress 2
Borderlands series (Borderlands 2 is my favorite game, ever. TPS combat is a lot of fun and makes up for the lower-quality story, in my opinion)
Elder Scrolls series
Warframe (IGN is something like That_One_Flesh_Atronach)
Pokémon series (HGSS forever)
Rocket League
Fallout series
Left 4 Dead 2 (Boomer files always corrupt though)
SUPERHOT (SUPERHOT is the most innovative shooter I've played in years!)
Dead Rising series (Dead Rising 2 is one of my favorite games, and the 3rd was a lot of fun. 1st has poor survivor AI and the 4th is bad)
Just Cause series
Come to think of it, I mainly play fighting-based games.
Roleplay is important in most games. Since minecraft is a sandbox game, it can be added in easily. What you can try is this:
Look at my signature below and go to the "What should I build?" generator. Write down the first 5 or 10 things it tells you (no picking on your own, just pick the first 10), and build them in different areas in your world. Or close by if some of them might relate to each other. Then write a story for that place, and maybe expand that structure/area and make it even better.

Need a friend to play Minecraft with? Click me! Lots of players are looking for someone to play with as well!
Need a way to make survival more fun? Click me!
Don't know what to build? Here is a "What should I build?" generator!
I usually tend to pick one style of building (Medieval, Modern, ect.) for one world, and when I feel like making a new world I choose a completely different style. It is always fun for me and keeps me interested in the game.
through trial and error I have found a group of mods I enjoy playing with, a few of them are galacticraft, botania, AE2, railcraft and buildcraft. These allow you to do a multiple number of things, my favorite scene is to pretend you have crashed in a desert bi-ome(you can go into creative mode for a while at the start and fly a distance away and add a few ship parts with some chests with advance later game tech) and you have to terraform your location to make it livable, get bored? turn on fly mode go to a new area with a few key tools, start over.
There's a couple more things that I do to keep things fresh that I didn't mention in my last post in this thread.
Sometimes, I spend time in a creative mode world designing things. I have Schematica, so I can save schematics (using the same file format as MCEdit) and use those as a guide to build things in my survival worlds. I also have Map Making Tools, which makes building large structures in creative mode much faster (it does many of the same things as WorldEdit) and can also copy structures and paste them in other places.
I also spend time in creative mode worlds (usually I have one specifically for this) writing code for use with ComputerCraft. That mod has programmable computers (as one might expect) as well as "turtle" robots that can place blocks, harvest blocks (if they have a tool equipped), and even craft (if they have a crafting table equipped). The computers and turtles also support wireless networking if they have a wireless modem equipped.
Mainly, I like to write APIs for the computers and turtles (modules of reusable code that other scripts can use) for things like building and inventory management. I also occasionally write scripts that use those APIs for things like having a turtle build a simple shelter.
Those are a couple more things that I do.

The source of my intention isn't really crime prevention; my intention is prevention of the lie! Yeah, welcome to the Scatman's world!

I play modded minecraft and only that.

Most of my variety comes from mods.
I like to mess around with mods that add new things to do such as various technology mods. Mods can add new activities that you can't have in vanilla!

I already do this. I am the sexiest diva I know.
