Top 10 Scariest Things in Minecraft
You're just mining some iron, thinking it's a chill night, and then bam. A whisper. A groan. Or worse, complete silence until you're already getting whacked from behind. Minecraft might look like a cute blocky world full of pigs and flowers, but it's also home to some serious nightmare fuel. The kind of stuff that makes you turn your sound down and check over your shoulder, even though you're playing a kids' game in broad daylight.This list is for those moments that made your heart race or your skin crawl. The creepy noises you can't explain, the things that shouldn't be there but are, and the split-second encounters that make you hit pause and walk away. Maybe it's a monster. Maybe it's just the game messing with you. Either way, it stuck with you.
Vote for the ones that made you jump, freaked you out, or just felt off.
If there is anything scarier than losing all your hard-earned valuables in Minecraft, it is logging onto the "Orphanage" seed world and going into a cave. It is literally the creepiest thing.
When I heard about the seed and how you heard children's screams in caves, I wanted to find out for myself. Being a wimp, I went in creative mode since doing it in survival would have been even creepier.
Anyways, I logged onto the world and found a ravine that was right next to the world spawn. I floated down until I was about halfway when I heard a scream that sent a chill down my spine and made goosebumps crawl over my body. It was a bit faint, and I wasn't sure if I was imagining it or not, so I went closer to one of the caves. The scream was louder this time, and yeah, it was bad. I quit and deleted the world right after that, never to do it again.
If you want to check out the seed, do it in creative mode where you don't have to listen to the tortured screams of children while collecting iron for your base. Seriously, it is a "get in, get out" kind of situation, and the less time you spend in it, the better.
That doesn't sound scary unless it is behind you.
I was in the forest with my cat and dog, and an Enderman killed my first dog (I have like 22 more). My cat got killed by a savage player. I was alone, and I heard an angry Enderman. It killed me while a skeleton shot me and a creeper exploded nearby.
In the woods, the wolves are the lords. Notice that there are pockets of huge packs scattered. I then go exploring, living with them, and they do move across the map. It's creepy, as if they in the game were alive.
Of course, it is always scary. Knowing there are monsters in every corner that can kill you is creepy.
There could be caves full of spiders, skeletons by trees, Endermen walking around all so black, wolves in packs, jockeys, anything.
I was in there at the most disturbing moment. Where do you think those monster spawners come from, the sky? Also, the spiders killed me for watching them make nests. They crawled up, and my night vision turned off. My weapon was damaged. I was in cobweb, and the spider killed me.
I hate it when I'm just calmly exploring a cave. Then I turn around, and BOOM - there is somehow a creeper there. It annoys me! It's kind of creepy when you have the sound on and hear the footsteps in the cave. It's creepy!
I've walked through a cave before where it was empty. Then I turned a corner, and boom, they were all there and walking toward me. Even through a game, I felt claustrophobic, so I ran, and of course, there was an enderman behind me. Me being me, I looked straight at it.
It happened under my house. Then track 11 was played. I heard a digging noise just beside me. I feel scared when I'm writing this. Just feeling bad and looking behind me every once in a while!
So, like, there was this cursed bobblehead turtle lawn ornament. It jumped at us and stuff. One day I played a Minecraft game, and there was this sea turtle that actually ATTACKED me. Not supposed to happen. The two events have some significance.
That happened to me when I started a new world. I didn't have any friends, and I told my mom, but she said it was code in the game.
Then I went out to play and saw my dad. I told him what happened.
Mineshafts have creepy cave spider spawners, cobwebs, and they are very deep. There are cave spiders.
It is so dark that it could spawn enemies. Worst of all, mineshafts can be everywhere, and they are near strongholds. I cannot even tell where they are.
I've been in here once with my friend Bower. We tried to kill a cave spider, but he died. Luckily, I survived. We also managed to kill an enderman. Want to hear how? We were looking at it while shielding and attacked it. Then we went under the mineshaft and saw a ravine of lava. It was huge. Bower managed to get some diamonds, and I tried to kill a witch with my crossbow.

I still remember my first enderman encounter. It was, and still is, terrifying! I was playing survival mode for the first time. Somehow, I survived the first night. I had one heart left, and the sun was rising, but then I heard a weird sound. Then I heard it again. By that time, I was panicking! Then I turned around to run... SHRIEK! I was dead instantly.
One time, my cousin was playing Minecraft, and I was watching him. He asked me what the black egg does (the enderman). I didn't know, so he spawned it. We both got so scared when we saw it and heard the noises it made. It was awful. I make sure to never see an enderman ever again.
Once, my cousin and I were playing Minecraft on survival mode. We were mining, and there was lava underneath us. Suddenly, something attacked me. I looked everywhere, but nothing was there. My cousin wasn't doing it because she wasn't near enough. It was SO creepy.
When I build scary temples or something hostile to villagers, eventually the game itself appears mad, with rain and thunder, big lightning bolts suddenly appearing right over me. It's real virtual life, I tell ya.
This is terrifying! It should be number 1! Once when I was building a house, I hadn't realized the sun went down, and my hearts started going down. I turned around and two zombies were right in my face! SO SCARY!
If you play it backwards, then you can eventually hear "don't do it." So many sleepless nights.
The music is super creepy, and when viewing this song's sound data, you will see a Steve head and C418's signature.
We still wonder why this isn't at the top of the list.
The Newcomers

He is pretty scary, but he's actually my favorite mob.
My least favorite part of him is probably the Darkness effect, because you can barely see. And I think you have to stack up 25 or more blocks to get out of reach.
He actually changed my favorite colors to black and very deep blue.
Yes, the dark, empty space below your world is the most terrifying thing in Minecraft. All the other stuff isn't scary at all.
The void! It's an empty space below your world that seems to stare back at you. Forget creepers! The void haunts my dreams!
That's what happened to me when I first tried the demo world. I had 1:40 to play and I went to the Nether. I almost died (half a heart) and came back, trying to put my diamonds in my chest, only to realize the time was up. I could only close half of the door to my mineshaft.
Build a quick chest, and you're saved. Also, in mods, you can make a diamond apple. You can find a tree and throw some diamonds out.
I turn to Creative, go home, and then go back to Survival.
A creeper always blows up when you are near it. Once I was riding one of my horses, and then out of sight, a creeper appeared and blew up. I died, and my horse did too!
A skeleton is slow but has great accuracy with the bow and arrow. They are not that scary.
I built a house out of diamonds, and I didn't have spawns near it or anything. A creeper was outside. I opened the door.
Boom.
One day I was mining, and then I heard a BOOM! The noise scared me so much. I threw my headphones across the room.
I guess I'm spoiled because I uploaded my first Minecraft world on Survival. Two years later, I'm relaxing in a six-story, well-built house with three private farms (including animal farms and veggie gardens), four two-story guest houses all with private farms, and three MASSIVE caves full of diamonds. I also have two nether portals, an end portal, and a few dozen treasure rooms hidden in various places. Not to mention, I live on a private, secluded island surrounded by a high-tech protection fence.

Oh yeah, this is creepy. It's why I don't play in single-player anymore. The thing is, you tell people, and they don't believe you. So I play survival and creative in multiplayer now. So even if something does happen and it's creepy, you can mentally blame someone else, and it takes the creepiness away a bit.
This thing happened to me too! I was flying in the sky (in creative mode), and I heard a sigh and a scream at the same time. I flew toward the sound, and then every light I placed just disappeared. BUT not only did I see white eyes, but also RED eyes! I was not able to place any source of light. Then he looked at me, and everything went back to normal. Since this happened, I've never played this game again. I deleted it too.
I had a nice house in survival with a few wolves, and one day a creeper came up to my house, exploded, and killed my dogs.
Once I made a house on Pocket Edition, and this stupid creeper blew it up.
Yeah, I hate when this happens. I just rage quit...
I hate my then 'friend' now, not for this reason. So anyway, I was minding my own business when my 'friend' dropped a diamond chest plate. I said she could have it back if she said please, but no - she killed me. So I grabbed my diamond sword and killed her... BAM!
I played multiplayer once with some friends, and an intruder (we had the Trust Players option) appeared to be in our world hiding. It was creepy.
I just freak out when a creeper comes up behind me, and it's my best friend... I hate you, best friend. I hate you so much.
The sound is wretched, scary, and sad at the same time! Poor horses.
I have a world where you can fuse two mobs together. When you do it, it kills the two mobs in the chambers. It's so sad when it's a horse. I wanna cry when a horse dies. So if you have a big heart, DON'T KILL HORSES!
It sounds like a rock band dinner screeching...
I fear losing my diamonds and my other valuables that I spent years crafting and mining.

I tried to eat cake in the end, but the stupid dragon stole my cake. The dragon eats cake, not humans. Mystery solved.
This should be way higher. This thing killed me, and I had to start the whole thing over.
Definitely one of the scariest things that have happened to me during my Minecraft gameplay. Like, it is so EASY to get lost in the Nether, and I had found a bastion ring and had a netherite ingot in my inventory, as well as a maxed-out enchanted diamond pickaxe and my enchanted diamond sword. I ended up having to log in a guest to come and find me. So yeah, that was my scariest experience in Minecraft.
When I'm in Creative mode and flying around the Nether to search for ghasts, I didn't even know that I was lost.
Omg, SO BAD. So I was playing with five friends (full party). Of course there were technical difficulties, like I can't invite you and you're not on my friends list and all that. Then we FINALLY all got in, then bam... it crashed even worse. I had rebuilt a villager house after an attack, then it crashed and erased all of my progress. UGH.
THE CACKLE is so scary! I was thinking about Herobrine at the time. Also, for some reason, all my caves were spawning as tunnels, so I was a little creeped out, and suddenly I heard, HEH HEH HEH! I had a panic attack and literally uninstalled my game, worrying about Herobrine. Stupid witch!
One time I was exploring a cave, and it jumped out from behind some iron and killed me. Stupid thing.

Maybe it was a jerky lava. (What am I explaining? Lava doesn't come from nothing!)
They are so cute. I'm making a city, and I found a baby zombie. I call him Speedy, the neighborhood zombie.
