I think my only odd behavior is that I almost NEVER use an iron or diamond pickaxe. I only use those when absolutely necessary. I'm really anal retentive about my iron and my diamonds and I'd rather use them for other, more building oriented purposes!!! My inventory ALWAYS has a crafting table, a stack of torches, a stack of logs, 3 stone picks, one iron pick, one stack of dirt, one stack gravel or sand, and one bucket of water. That's my caving kit.
WELL...
-I always organise my hot bar like this:
-I always keep the stuff in my chests organised.
-Steak has always been my main food source.
-I never hunt pigs, for some reason...
-I never craft a shovel or an axe and keep it with me unless it's absolutely necessary.
-I get an odd urge to collect all roses in my range of view.
In my hotbar,I always put a sword,pick,and then an axe. And unless I'm not doing anything, I must have my hands out. And with every major update ("The update that changed the world" "The adventure update" ect ect) I like to make a brand new world to start out on.
1. I have a very specific way of organizing my hotbar. First a sword, then either an axe and hoe or pick and shovel (depends what I'm doing) with a stack of torches in between. If I have food I put it in the next slot, and if I'm caving or building I use the rest for materials/scaffolding. I try to keep junk out of the way.
2. If I see a plant or tree I don't know, I have to go pick it up or get a sapling. Plants are usually just a matter of identification, but if I like it I'll keep it for later.
3. Even if I have more than enough or if it's useless to me, I have to gather every ore I find. I'm kind of the same way with types of stone (Underground Biomes mod), but I usually collect those passively just digging around. I also do this with clay (which is never used), but a lot of the time I don't notice it.
4. If I can help it, I refuse to change the environment. It's too pretty.
5. If I cut down a tree, I have to put down a sapling where it was for the reason above.
6. Despite my usual preservation of Minecraftian nature, if I'm not herding for a farm and it has a good drop I kill almost every animal I see. They can respawn, anyway.
7. Almost every building I make has a log framework and planks filling it in.
8. If I find a village I have to try to renovate it and protect the residents.
9. I have to waypoint everything I find even a little interesting.
10. I refuse to put anything anywhere near a snowy biome. I despise those things. I also try to avoid jungles, but they're salvageable.
11. I try to keep my hunger full 24/7, and even keep an eye on how many points a food will fill so I don't waste anything.
12. I have a nasty tendency to make a world and delete it an hour later. Can't get anything I really like.
Hey! So do I! I figure that the most important tool is the pick, not the sword. I also use my mouse wheel to switch tools, so that's why I keep the torch at the end, where it is next to the pick. I also have my sword and bow next to each other for the same reason, and my food is near the end. You didn't note that there are seven items in your hot bar, not eight. The extra one is for whatever I need at the moment, usually dirt or cobble for patching/scaffolding/pillaring.
I never dismantle a village for supplies--like take furnaces, crafting tables or bookshelves--unless it's to repair and fix up the village, I only take stuff in chests. I will harvest crops, and I always replant the crops and even expand the crops so there's more food when I come back (especially wheat, since you can trade that).

I will harvest crops, and I always replant the crops and even expand the crops so there's more food when I come back (especially wheat, since you can trade that).
I rarely go on single player and less often go on single player survival. If i do, I end up walking to find the perfect settling place to build a house (I walk a VERY long time). And, I always collect any interesting blocks I find from generated structures (mossy boulders, sand temples, etc.) and, I tend to be sentimental when I leave an island (while looking for a place to settle, of course!) so I collect a flower from every island. To top it all off, I rarely even build a house! I'm currently live I a 2 house village. (1 library, one of those houses that is L shaped and a well)
Also, I prefer to go on very big servers (mineplex, the hive etc.). Okay okay, u get it carry on!
If I'm on an adventure or trip, I cant keep any item in my inventory that is only 1 of it. So if I have only 1 , I need to get rid of it. If I have 1 , than I have to get rid of it. Weird, yes. Wasteful, yes. Organized? Yes!

Hey guys, my keyboard broke. can anyone help me solve this problem?
I've got my fair share of strange habits:
1.) I light symmetrically, especially when working with symmetrical things. I place torches every 4th, 6th, or 8th block or any other specific pattern that works depending on the area but always matching with the entire facility. In caves I place more sporadically.
2.) I place torches always to my right. This is actually so that I can always find my way out of a cave. It's a trail of breadcrumbs, if you will. There is always exactly one path with torches on the left: the path that leads back to where I started. When placing torches on the right side wall provides insufficient lighting, I supplement with floor torches.
3.) When exploring outdoors, I leave a tower 10-25 blocks high near every major landmark, in a place where it is visible from a large distance away. I try to make every landmark slightly different. For NPC villages I give each one a special monument with a theme befitting the name I have given the village.
4.) I name my most important landmarks, and landmarks near each other often share names, for example 'Distant Desert' Village, 'Distant Desert' Waystation, 'Distant Desert' Temple, or even 'Distant Temple' Waystation inside the temple. 'Spite' Nether Portal (inside 'Distant Desert' Temple) is named, as with all Nether Portals, by its Nether-side location. It exists within Spite Cavern which as of yet has no other significant landmarks.
5.) When exploring abandoned mineshafts, I place exactly one torch per segment, between the mineposts. All segments lacking a right side wall get a torch on the floor in the middle. I then clean up all of the excess stone blocks on the ceiling, fix broken mineposts, tear down the wood planks on shafts, and use those planks to build stairwells on shafts that actually go anywhere. Then I pick up all of the rail segments and naturally-spawned torches but I leave the cobwebs (cause I don't have silk touch shears). So that makes unexplored mineshaft distinguishable from mineshaft I have been in. And finally when I clear a segment, I place one wood plank at the front of it so I know it's clear.
6.) When I come across waterfalls and lavafalls, I try to plug them up, not caring if I delete the source block. When I find lava pools, I try to dig all the lava out either by dumping in gravel, scooping the lava into a bucket, or a combination of the two--to reveal the stone underneath. I always carry a water bucket and sometimes pour water on top and dig up the obsidian, but that method is slower.
7.) Nearly all of my houses, rooms, and structures are underground. I actually never thought about this or noticed that it was strange until I saw other people making houses on top of the ground. I think you people are strange and I am normal. After all, I often use already-existing caves to make my houses. That way they have a unique layout and I don't have to put effort into designing the base plan. I just touch them up here and there.
8.) I build nether portals to go to my distant locations. Not necessarily strange so much as travel-oriented. I just find some things aren't available nearby and I may have to go a long ways away to reach them.
9.) A strange thing I was doing for a while: I had a diamond pick with silk touch so I was taking it with me everywhere and picking up ores with it. I took the ores home and set them down to scoop up with my fortune pick, or if I was lazy I just threw em in the furnace. I was usually carrying a stack of coal ore so in abandoned mineshafts I left coal ore instead of a plank at the front of any segment that had coal ore left to mine but nothing else to see in it. I also was placing stone in the holes where I dug out ores, making caves appear to have naturally spawned with no ores, giving them a bizarre appearance. I learned the hard way that I can't be using stone to fill in lava as I can't tell the difference between natural blocks and the ones I placed. I stopped using this pick when I discovered the only way to repair it is with 1-2 diamonds at a time--it's cost is 42 levels when using an unenchanted pick. Unfortunately my new pick has the same cost even though I got it first try with 24 levels on the enchanting table. >.< Efficiency III, Unbreaking III, Fortune II -- It might be creating more diamonds than it's destroying though. I found 14 diamond ore and got 24 diamonds out of em.

Which is actually quite annoying when I'm caving because my pick and my torches aren't that close to each other. Yet I don't change it....

So.. you haven't been to the End?

I take that back. You can craft obsidian without using a diamond pickaxe if you use the lava/water method.
