Top 10 Worst Things that Could Happen to You in Minecraft

The Top Ten
Mining a lot of diamonds and then dying in lava

I had a good diamond pickaxe, and then boom, I found redstone. I mined some of it, and then things went very wrong. I don't know why, but I pressed walk, and boom! Next thing I know, I'm in the lava pit! I died with 55 points. I had gold ore. I regret that day... Stupid karma.

Imagine... Diamonds, gold, iron, redstone, and all that other stuff in your inventory. Then you're dancing around, not noticing that lava pit, and BAM! No valuables. Rage quit in 3... 2... 1...

I hate it when this happens. I find a lot of diamonds, mine them with a fortune pickaxe, and then go the wrong way. Boom! I drop into lava and slowly watch my items burn.

Getting lost

A tip that I hope helps: build markers with dirt, like making a crumb trail, and light it with torches, especially when walking away from the base.

I made a HUGE house, no lie - it was so big, and I spent so many weeks on it, putting in all my effort. Then one day, I accidentally fell off the house (it was high up), and boom, I died. And guess what? It said my bed was destroyed, so my whole house was long lost and gone! SO UNFAIR! STUPID Minecraft! I didn't save it, so I switched Minecraft off (without saving and going to the menu), thinking my house would still be there when I went back on it, but that didn't work! I was so disappointed!

A creeper destroying your house

This happened when I was playing with a friend. I logged off after having spent hours building the house, and multiple creepers blew up the entire first floor. My friend rebuilt it. I came back on, and a creeper had followed her to the middle floor. She turned around to see it, ran upstairs to the top floor to get her bow and arrow, and then it blew up behind her on the stairs of the third floor, blowing up the second and third floors. We both quit.

The only way a creeper can really destroy your house is if it's small (I usually build big houses), but it's still an awful experience if you had something important in that area, such as a chest containing valuables.

Your pet cat or dog dying because you accidentally left-clicked

My sister and I play Minecraft on our Xbox together. In the best world we had EVER created, there were many wolf packs, so one day we decided to get one dog each. They were nice dogs that my sis and I adored! One day, we were cutting trees that were next to each other, and guess what - I accidentally hit her. Then her dog attacked me, and my dog attacked her dog, and there was a big dog fight. We exited the game right then and there and vowed to never go back to that world. EVEN WORSE, THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED! I wish I knew how to prevent these things from happening!

Accidentally pressing Q instead of W and throwing an item into lava

This hasn't happened to me yet, but it has to do with the default "drop" key being right next to the default "forward" key on a standard keyboard.

This happened to me once, but luckily I didn't lose anything important. It was just a piece of cobblestone.

Never happened to me, but if it really bothers you, alter your controls in the controls menu in settings.

Being shoved off a cliff by a cow

A cow never pushed me off, but I was doing good in the Nether. I walked in, and a creeper accidentally got into the Nether portal and blew me off the Nether cliff and into the lava.

Usually, wither skeletons do that to me in the Nether. Cheeky faces!

I always get shoved off by passive-aggressive chickens.

Dying or getting lost in the Nether with valuable items

Just died today. I spent like 2 hours finding a Nether Fortress and got some blaze rods. Then I realized I was tons and tons of miles away from my portal. I started to think fast because I was running out of food. Then I started following North, but I dropped into the lava and lost a full set of diamond-enchanted armor, a diamond-enchanted sword, and the blaze rods... :"(

I lost everything because a ghast blew me off a platform, and I splatted on the ground below me, which was like 50 blocks down. Full enchanted diamond armor and sword. Screw you, Nether.

Your only pickaxe breaking right as you find diamonds

Ok, this happened when my friend was playing. He had to mine countless layers of ore (which he didn't need, because what he wanted to craft required diamonds). It was frustrating, but it's something that can easily happen.

Ugh! I HATE this! I once found a whole wall of diamond ore - NOT kidding. The pickaxe was the right kind, iron, and I mined one diamond, and BOOM! The pickaxe was gone. It was enchanted!

That is the worst luck in history! Why is it not number one?

Building something awesome and then respawning and losing it

Oh my gosh, yes! I built a massive sea village by making a huge enclosed wall in the ocean and using sponges to dry the water out. I made awesome houses in it and even a dungeon for the quest I planned to do with my sister (I set up adventures for us to play). Funny story, really - I made a dark hall in one part and put a Guardian in it to jumpscare us. I went in to add some finishing touches and got trapped in the horror map. The Guardian popped out of nowhere, flopping around wildly, scaring the derp out of me. I ran into a room and shut the door behind me, terrified. Later, I went home and thought I had mapped out where to find it. Sadly, I haven't rediscovered it to this day.

Not having food

It was nighttime, and my house was right over the hill. I had no food, and it was hardcore. I suck.

I love playing on survival servers, and I always run into the same problem... A low hunger bar with no food and a plain filled with horses.

The Newcomers

? Your world getting corrupted

Dude! That happened on my BEST world. I had 12 elytras, no joke, end crystals, obsidian, and an end-themed house with enchanted diamond everything - all on a NO CHEATS world!

That would suck. I would be upset if it was one of my favorite worlds, but once, I had my world become unplayable when I accidentally put kill [username] on repeat with a command block. I kept dying over and over again, and I had to delete the world.

Imagine spending years on a Minecraft world only to find out it gets corrupted.

? A villager trading bedrock for an enchanted diamond sword

How are you going to get your sword?

The Contenders
Dying in "Hardcore" mode

When that happens, I kill my friends. Period.

Being trolled on a server

I died from a minecart trick that involved going into a one-block-tall space and ending up with a cactus. I suffocated when the cactus destroyed my minecart.

Going to the Nether and spawning right beneath lava, not noticing it, and dying

YOU WILL DIE. They have a whopping 100 HP, and they deal MAJOR damage to you unless you have enchanted stuff or diamond armor. Good luck with these in a mob arena.

Getting buried by a happy face made of sand
Going to the Nether and getting surprised by 5 ghasts shooting at you

And to make things worse, they ruin your portal, and you're stuck with them!

This happens to me a lot. Dude, I go there with my best stuff.

Getting attacked by 15 zombies at the same time

I made a nice house in Creative mode and then switched to Survival. There were mobs everywhere in my house, and they killed me.

And you're on hard mode. You're so dead.

Yes! This happened to me before!

Getting killed in Berserk mode
Being trolled by someone pretending to be Herobrine
Getting covered in lava
Finding diamonds, getting killed, and respawning in the middle of nowhere

This happened to me once. I was so mad that time.

Needing one more piece of sugar cane to make a map
Your berserk sword breaking
Being one block away from finishing something

For example, being one stair away from finishing a staircase and having to make another six.

Your wooden house getting hit by lightning and burning, so you pick up all your diamonds and run outside, only to get blown up by a creeper

I was messing around with commands and accidentally screwed up by 128 blocks. I set my house on fire. So sad.

My wooden balcony was broken by a creeper!

Spawning in the middle of nowhere

I once spawned in an ocean. Is that supposed to be rare? It has happened to me twice now.
