This is not an advisable way of destroying the zombie mob spawner in a dungeon.
(seen above as a "bookshelf")

Although mining under with precision is, in fact, a very successful way of destroying the mob spawner, once it is destroyed, there is a nice hole for all the zombies to fall down and see what interesting tunnels you made.

*Looks in my mob trap* Heheh, stoopid creepa.
(You are now the creepa.) YEEEEEAH! *Jumps out of water and does a full 360 spin then explodes.*
(Me again) *Dies.* WHAAAAAAT?

While building huge "special" mutant creeper statue taking a ****, i decided screw stairs i'll jump, at that time i had not changed my spawn point, and i was near my underwater base. So when i went back to get my stuff, i looked at my fake waterfall conveniently right under the statue so i could've jumped in it.....*facepalm*

Thats what happens when you mock the creepers XD If they can't commit suicide, they'll make you

I decided to die inside my house with all my stuff to regain my health, seeing as I could get easily back in a minute, but on the way back, I kept getting distracting with pumpkins and the like. Then, when I got to my house, it was gone.

So I'm in the nether visiting for the first time, I see some australium (no ghasts around that time) across a lava lake and decide to cross it with a block bridge. So I start laying it down and halfway through I accidentally switch to sand blocks. Created a section of bridge out of sand fell into the 10 block deep lava lake.

I was in the process of building a dragon head coming out of the side of a mountain, when I just walked off the edge. The fall was actually long enough for me to say the whole phrase "Are you ****ing kidding me?!" Then I died. Also I had a facepalm worthy fail the other day. I had just made my first diamond pick and was still working on the dragon head, when I accidentally threw the pick into lava. I only had 1 diamond left, it took me forever to find more.

i was building a massive minecart track when i ran out of blocks to place track on (i was building to floating islands) so i accidentally really the crouch button while hanging over the edge. while falling i say "son of a *****, atleast i have my diamond armor so i won't die. OH ****!!! LAVA PIT!!!!! and since i had no more blocks left i get stuck and die.

Lesson: USE TORCHES.
I spent 3 game days repairing that; it was a three-story building.

Just follow this link. A stupid Minecraft glitch that made me lose 30+ diamonds, 30+ gold, 100+ Iron, 15+ obsidian and more.

This one was a major facepalm after the fact.

I built a huge beacon tower in order to stop getting lost. Would lean way out to put torches on the sides as I went up; I died a huge number of times building the damn thing.

When it's finally done? I find out you can crouch. :smile.gif:

Oh, and another time I was showing a friend Minecraft. I'm out in the desert at night with my diamond sword, bow, and armor, and I see a zombie in the distance. I get out my bow and say to my friend, "The monsters aren't that much of a threat, if you see them coming."

Just then, from behind: SsssSSSS, BOOM!

Famous last words, yes.

So I've been building well-lit wooden catwalks out from the cliff where my main base is, slowly branching out to the rest of the map around me without having to worry about walking on the dark, monster-infested ground. Well, one of said catwalks leads to the side of a hill, where there's a door to my auxiliary forge and main mining tunnel.

I'm leaving that forge when without warning (stupidly I was playing without sound for a moment), a spider basically falls on my head and noms me before I can do anything. On my nice safe well-lit catwalk. I need to re-examine my security measures.

(Of course, the next facepalm was rushing to get my stuff back. Wound up failing to run past the two creepers standing between me and my base. Goodbye, all of my stuff!)

I decided to dig out a long strip mine and it just so happened that the area I picked was FULL of caves. As I progressed further toward bedrock during the mid part of the week I found a cave out from the side of the mine that led to 3 diamond blocks. Before I hopped down to get them I discovered an open shaft in the back of the top part of the cave with a lovely lava pool at the bottom and made a mental note not to fall in. It was supposed to be a quick snatch-and-grab then seal off the tunnel... so I didn't use many torches. I grabbed the diamond then hopped back up to the top where I became disoriented and fell in darkness straight down the shaft into the lava which killed me in about two seconds flat. Not only did I lose the 3 new diamond I had mined I lost an almost brand new diamond pick and diamond shovel not to mention the inventory full of stone, iron, and coal. Among all the times I have died so far in this game I think that one left me the most exasperated. I wanted so much to be angry but I just sat there with my mouth hanging open thinking "why?". On a lighter note, the strip mine has so far yielded 17 additional with no further deaths. Considering how many people would die in mines during the old days one fake death is a relatively small price.

Haha, ouch :/

The very first time I played Minecraft, I was digging myself a dirt hovel to hide out in until sunrise. As I was hollowing it out, I breached the ceiling, and a skeleton fell through the hole. Then, not being used to how Minecraft works, I decided to attack the skeleton in order to re-secure my shelter. With a wooden shovel. After having already taken an arrow to the face.

You can probably guess how well that turned out.

This is me failing at killing a skeleton with lava

after thinking the skeleton was dead (it was behind a wall) i took a look and it was alive, it killed me and all my stuff spread, i had just raided a dungeon and i had:
-gold record
-2 buckets of lava
-3 saddles
-10 gold
-55 iron
-5 stacks of coal
-1 stack of smooth stone
-1 stack of dirt and sand
-30 glass
-3 breads
-2 wheat

luckily i only lost the buckets and the dirt

One well placed bucket of water stopped the disaster


After 3 minecraft days lava is still flowing


(texture pack: see signature, mods: ambient occlusion, better grass)

A friend of mine was exploring a giant cave system.

He was standing on a block of dirt between two pools of lava.

He destroyed the block of dirt.
