How to Break a Minecraft Addiction

With millions of players, Minecraft is a very addictive game. It can be very hard to break away from, and you may waste a lot of your time. But fortunately, there are ways to overcome it.

1. See if you are addicted. If you are spending excessive hours on Minecraft and or the game takes up too much of your time and gets in the way of you doing things, especially blowing people off or not doing things to play Minecraft, then you may have a problem.

2. Find a point when you are bored with the game. Minecraft players will every now and then come to a point where they are bored. If you're at a time when you can't seem to be entertained by Survival, Creative or by Minecraft servers, just exit the game and find something else to do. (Preferably something that isn't a video game- but it's up to you.)

3. Time how long you play the game. Try and set a limit for yourself- try to cut down how long you're on Minecraft. You can do this by setting a timer on your phone, or with Parental settings on your computer that can kick you off at a certain time.

4. Find other things to do. Be more social, sign up for a club or a sport, get more involved. Or play a different game.

5. Delete Minecraft. If all else fails and you think it is necessary, you can delete Minecraft from your computer. You can do this by deleting Minecraft.exe as well as the .minecraft folder located in %AppData%. If you think you are tempted to download it again, you can use software to block the file from running on your computer.
