It's like that with any game for me. I don't do that much gaming overall but roughly once every couple of months I'll get lost in Terraria, Stardew Valley, Minecraft, Prison Architect, No Mans Sky or what not for a few days at a time and when that phase ends I won't play any games for months to come.
@TerrorBite@atocci we had this our entire life! but not with Minecraft specifically. With /every/ game.
I particularly remember it with LittleBigPlanet. We'd spend a few months furiously making weird shit, then completely dropping the game for a few months, then coming back to it later.
