Before I turned off rock spawning and thunderstorms and enabled peaceful, I used to feel the same way. I no longer have to stop what I'm doing all the time to get rid of a frog, break a rock, or reconstruct anything, but it's still a silght challenge because you have to get the resources to craft things and eat to survive. It, in my opinion, makes the game more enjoyable. Tell me how it goes once you give it a try!
