Being excessive (gets boring though) or making things which would simply be impractical: requiring so much more time to gather resources than would actually be spent building.
For example, I had a world (it got derped when I updated, sadly) in which I dug, found and established a nice cave system. In this cave system, over the course of several weeks I dug up a couple of hundred redstone dust units. I decided to start learning some redstone basics and then set about making some sort of complex-ish redstone circuit.
It took me about half an hour (having done about a quarter of what I would later finish in creative) to go through all of the dust.
