Sadical Gets Madical Episode 2: Berries in Minecraft

sadical What’s up gamers, it’s sadical here and welcome to episode 2 of my series. What I do is get mad. Okay, let’s start.

So, yesterday, I was playing minecraft on my Christian minecraft server where people kept saying frick and heck so I had to ban them. Anyways, in the world, I spawned in the taiga biome. I was looking for the bonus chest that I couldn’t find when I started randomly taking damage. At first, I thought that monsters were there on the first day, even though that usually doesn’t happen.

Then, I looked down to see a strange green plant with red berries sticking out of it. I mined it and realized that it was what was making me take damage! I wondered why they were that powerful, but then I went to look for a village to live in.

Later, I was still looking for a village with my sister when we came across a Pillager. It started shooting arrows at her, and I ran away. She eventually outran it, but her health was still low. She was using her map to find where I was, when she suddenly died. She thought she just died from the pillager finding her again, but it was the berries.

I don’t mind that there’s berries in Minecraft. I think it’s good that there’s more fruit cause there’s a lot of vegetables in the game, but I just don’t like how damaging they are. I get why they do some damage. It’s because the berries have thorns.

Let’s think about some of the other ways to die in Minecraft, now. You can fall in a pit of lava, fall from a high place, get killed by a monster, drown, eat something poisonous, and get blown up by TNT. I know monsters aren’t real, but if they were, you could probably die from them.

I know Minecraft is just a video game, but compared to the other ways you can die, standing near berries with thorns for about a minute makes no sense. If you were there in real life, it would just hurt, and if you kept standing there, you wouldn’t just die. That makes no sense!

It wouldn’t bother me much if they weren’t so common, however. They’re kind of similar to cactuses in the desert, which are very easy to see and are usually spread out. With berries, in certain biomes (especially the taiga), they are extremely common. However, them being common isn’t even the worst of it.

The berry bushes, which do the same amount of damage as fully grown ones, look almost just like grass. I feel like they’re adding an unnecessary challenge to the game.

Anyways, that’s all for this post. You probably just scrolled through it anyways but that’s okay too.

I don’t read over my posts so there’s probably a lot of mistakes. Also this series is just me complaining about video games - sadical

Berries killing you us the worst update. - visitor

Not really related, but the game decided to freeze on me, I somehow got killed, and I lost my enchanted diamond pickaxe, along with more diamonds and emeralds! So annoying. - visitor

But yeah, berries shouldn't kill you. - visitor
