This game is 95% carried by the community but thank god it is. I don't think there's a game that has given me more fun over the past 10 years of my life than Minecraft.
So, the main problem with Minecraft's singleplayer is a general lack of things to do. Once you've played it enough you either start minmaxxing in your survival world or start building aimlessly (and you can get to this part really damn fast if you're experienced enough). The 'exploration' part of Minecraft has been quite underutilized as a result because the Overworld does just feel like a bunch of empty land with not much to do, at least without mods and whatnot.
I wish we got more content in each update, with more reasons to explore. Honestly, the Nether and Cave changes have been really fun and add to the replayability of the game. It does feel a bit more exploration-based, and I think the building is already top-notch as it is in Minecraft. I just wished they could do more.
However, with such an open and creative game, you get some really damn creative people who play it. There are SO MANY THINGS TO DO in Minecraft when taking into account the community. Whether it's mods, or servers, or community events, there's just so many things to enjoy with other people. The survival multiplayer loop also becomes amazing if you have a group of people, culminating in what is pretty much the perfect multiplayer game.
Honestly, if this game didn't get as big as it did, it wouldn't be half as good. However, I'm thankful for the past 10 years this game has granted to me and it's been a wonderful time.
