OP, I’ve been here before and walked this path - it’s not one I advise anyone to take.
Minecraft and other video games are fun, especially with friends, but you have to have your priorities sorted first before indulgence. Do you want your degree, or do you want your degree? If you imagine yourself successful in 5 years time in the profession you’re studying for, how bad do you want it?
Minecraft in class won’t get you there, and will in fact hamper you. Unlike school, no one will stop you because the lecturers aren’t paid to give a fuck about your success - they just lecture and it’s on you to take notice.
My intention isn’t to shame you, I just see myself 5 years ago in this image and while I bounced back, it was years of hard work on myself.
If you’re finding yourself zoned out in lectures, you need to find study habits that work for you, and you have to be in the right headspace. You’re very capable of completing this degree, you just have to do it.
Take your mental health seriously if you don’t already, and work with student counsellors on study habits. They are paid to answer questions like “I feel zoned out in lectures, how do I keep engaged and not fall asleep to this guy?” and “How can I have a healthy balance of games and study?”
