My Minecraft survival world is awesome, but I think in this context "productive" is usually referring to, you know, *farming* and stuff.

[Its a thing!](https://www.yanmartractor.com/resources/tractor-tips/how-to-start-your-hobby-farm/) Honestly if people didnt *need* to take the first job they could under threat of homelessness i truly believe enough people will just end up doing everything we need done out of the sheer need to do *something*

I think it serves as an illustration that people will do difficult and tedious computer work for reasons other than money it specifically being Minecraft isn’t really the point to me

For sure, but people have lots of incentives to do farming and stuff even without the profit motive, otherwise human civilization wouldn't have made it out of the paleolithic era. Humans are actually the most co-operative species on the planet, it's biologically hard wired into us to work together to improve our living conditions for our communities and to share what we have with others.

I think the more automated the job is, the easier it is for people to get started. So with better farming technology I would expect more people interested on it.

I thought there was a ton of farming in Minecraft
