I was playing a Vechs Super Hostile map called Waking Up and was at a crossroad to different areas. this crossroad had lava covered by glass in the center. Well it turns out that there was no glass in the very middle block which i fell into. in an atempt to escape i tried to break the glass separating my forward operating base and the lava. I broke the glass releasing myself and all the lava into my base burning my chest of loot, then I burned to death. After this I quit the map for now with no good weapons, armor, food, little wood, etc.

P.S. If you like a chalenge you should go check out Vechs's Maps.

any time i die it is not funny

Guys, Minecraft is serious and should be taken super seriously. (lol)

At the very top of my head: Recently I was in a cave and was mining some iron ore when a creeper suddenly came to my right side (good thing I was being cautious enough to look around to see it) and so I backed off to get some space between us... right into another creeper that I didn't see and blew up. Then I blew up again from the original creeper soon after before I could get my bearings. xD

The thing is is that I THOUGHT the place was lit enough to be safe. Either there were some entry ways that I missed, or I should probably turn my brightness down a tad. Thankfully though, I had the cave entrance marked by Rei's minimap mod (I love that mod so much). So I was able to find it again and continue on with my adventure. c:

I was about to explore a mineshaft I had found on an extra-hard multiplayer server.

I got up to the mineshaft, fought off a zombie, and doused the area in lava for a bit so it wouldn't reanimate (as I said, extra hard).

I started walking, and the floor turned to wood; there was a cave below me.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a charged creeper hit the ground behind me and exploded (charged creepers randomly spawn and explode if they take any damage). I survived with two and a half hearts...

...but the bridge broke and I died of fall damage.



All I said was "what the ****" and went back in in a mad dash to get my stuff... only to be slain by reanimating zombies halfway through the cave.

Sheesh, lol. You must really like a good challenge.

Well one time I happened to be fighting the ender dragon. And as I was distracted shooting the crystals the dragon decides to come and hit me. And as it did I went flying up into the air and fell into the void. Gg dragon. I lost a really good enchanted suit of iron armour a bow tonnes of arrows and a decent iron sword.

I know say to myself when ever I'm in that place to pay good damn attention to whats going on around me.


Another time when I was playing survival for the very first time I was building my house and it was becoming dark so I went inside. After being getting really bored of sitting there I felt like I could build the rest of my house without problem. Bad move indeed two creepers sneak up on me and I was dead. Deleted the world in rage lol.

One of my funniest recent deaths was on Project Ares (server with PvP minigames) I was playing on a map with TNT, team grief is very common there because of that fact, I was lucky enough to get diamond armour fast enough to grab some TNT, a water bucket and some redstone, I went to a high place where I built a cannon (one of those firing 10 TNT at once) to get some kills and destory the other side's supplies. That went pretty good until I forgot to step back, I got flung into the air and died of fall damage, I got a good laughter out of that one as death doesn't matter so much there.

Lol

I tried to get glowstone but the ghast didnt approve of that

[Zejgar]

Almost dying to a skeleton, switching to creative mode, hovering to and killing the skeleton, switching back to survival and falling a few blocks, damaging the remaining couple of hearts I had left. Joke's on me, cheaters never win.

I was riding a pig, lets call him Pickles. Pickles and I were on a large overhang, heading towards the edge, and my wireless mouse died. I couldn't get off, and I didn't think to pause the game, so off the cliff we flew. As if to add insult to injury, there was a lava pit below the overhang. Long story short, there were Pickles-and-me-bacon strips scattered everywhere.

An enderman picked up a sand block that was disabling my mob trap, I was collecting the drops.

I stared in shock as i got killed by my own trap.

[Crimson_Hedgehog]

i was mining so the sundelly appeared,i heard the ssssssssssssss and turned back with my gravity gun (yep, i was using mods) and he exploded '-'

[ZingidyZongxxx]

First time I ever played Minecraft. I hadn't bothered to look at the controls, but I decided to go for a swim.

I drowned.

[Crazyplaya]

Death on minecraft are never fun i think but buth there were this one time tho that were rather interesting.

I were exploring a ravine one night. i was just gonna check it out before i started to go down in to it. And i were thinking that its just a cuick look down so i should be ok.
So a stand on the edge looking down and its atleast 15 blocks deep if not more. Then i hear 'ssssssss' i quickly turn around and hit the creeper with my sword. But there is a skelleton behind the creeper. He shoots the creeper and me off the edge.
I land first with half a heart left. The creeper lands half a second after me and blows up....

Good thing is i only had a iron sword on me as i had left all my stuff in my base in case i would fall down the ravine.

[dbsweasey]

Lol I die all the time

i had gone out the door of my house i was wathching my friend ( slpit screen xbox 360 minecraft ) and i was still walkking and i walk right into a revine i lost so many good things but it was still funny

[Zoch]

This just happened. i had finally agreed to LAN my precious sp world with my friend, and as soon as he got in, guess what he did. He stole a flint and steel and started sprinting up my giant hollow sky-limit jungle tree base. I sprinted after him, and just as he was about to do the unthinkable, I took a flying leap-punch at him and we both fell to the ground from 70 blocks in the air and died. Then I shut off LAN.

I was once trapped on my brother's skyblock, I had my home set there but some greifers took out our water elevator AND stole the bucket. They successfully left next to nothing, so the only way I could get down was to jump in perfect 1X1 space into a small, 3-block deep pond. Needless to say, I failed a lot. When I finally got down by slowing myself in a lava fall, then hopping into the puddle, not ten seconds later I was shot by a skeleton. Then I remembered: "/spawn"

[marshmellow396]

It was funny when chimneyswift jumped from a really tall tree into water but right before he landed a tree grew in front of him and he died.

[Randomwaffle23]

The stupidest death (pretty close, right?) was when I was working on my epic sky-glass party room about a hundred blocks above my house. I was almost finished with a minecart rail going all the way up, and I needed to cross a 1-block-wide gap. I thought, no problem, I can do this while sneaking so I won't fall. What I didn't realize was that the ceiling was right above me. I didn't have enough room to jump, and I fell all the way down.
I guess a funnier death was my first time going to the End. I didn't take anything with me; I just wanted to see if I needed to bring obsidian to make a path to the island. It turns out I didn't - I got onto the island okay, just took a fair chunk of fall damage. I decided that was acceptable and decided to kill myself to start gathering the things I'd need. I was about to jump into the Void when I realized something much more fun: punching the Ender Dragon. I managed to get two hits in before he killed me. The first thing I thought was "At least I went down fighting."

[Zaffre60]

Come to think of it I haven't died by anything other than my own stupidity since Beta. On topic, the worst time I died was when I was building my standard 9x9 wooden house on the first night of a new world (thanks, Direwolf20!) at around Beta 1.5. I had found a lava lake in a forest and decided it'd be a good idea to put my house next to it.

It wasn't.

As I finished building it was night and I heard fire. I was confused since the lava lake was far from my house, but when I went out I saw that fire had carried over from trees and onto my house. Panicked, I went in my chest and took what little I had and tried to run. I then got shot by a skeleton and knocked into the lava, destroying everything I had.

Lesson learned? Don't build wooden houses next to lava.
