Started a map today, hard survival, and had finished a good day of mining. Almost full inventory and was heading up because i had my first five diamonds. i stop at my bedrock level craft table to make a bucket to carry a second lava source up top. i wasn't thinking about what i was doing and emptied the bucket of lava i already had...
Not only did i kill myself and lose 20+xp and lose my inventory but i had a bed next to the craft table that was my current spawn point. So I respawn in the lava next to the bed... With no tools or blocks or anything i tried respawning 10 different times and tried several ways to get out of the loop. the only way i could survive the lava was jump on the bed and wait for the fire to stop burning me but then couldn't get away. Luckily someone else on the map mounted a rescue mission and got me out of the loop. No I didn't restart or anything just punched the rock wall with my fist and went to get more tools. LMFAO What an EPIC repeated failure.
Lol, I really do feel bad for you D: I have never had something that bad, and I'm thankful for it hearing this. The worst thing I can think of is, I was caving, and I see a creeper, and the tunnel I was in sloped up, and so he had the high ground and I couldn't knock him back enough, so he gets started on his thing, and I see:

Luckily, it was more funny to me than frustrating, and luckily I didn't have much of a problem with getting everything back, but I was in a cave with a surface entrance and house at the time was a little "hidey-hole" at the entrance of it, and that's where I respawned, but again, luckily I didn't have too much problem with it, just about a 30 second's sprint from the entrance.

Oh dude. That's awful. So your bed wouldn't burn? I figured it would, sending you back to the original spawn. I wonder if they'll fix that. +1 for your sad sad story.
I made a save in the End while building my enderman spawner while hanging off the edge of a block in the abyss. Only to find when i loaded my game next time I was falling to my death with no chance at survival. Losing all my inventory full of goodies. Oh well we learn from it!
I was by my XP Farm, & there's a glitch where mobs can phase through walls that didn't know about at the time. After this incident, I've gone through a wall myself effortlessly as well as witness + kill mobs escaping from the containment chamber. When it happened, I mistaked it for another glitch where mobs look like they're going through a wall & move back where they should be after a couple seconds which was very common in my other mob grinder that drowned mobs. So a creeper went through, and I looked at it approach me expecting to see it go back to where it should be. That never happened. Afterwards, I decided to quit without saving.
I tend to armor up in a set / half-set of leather armor to go hunting and nether wart farming in the Nether, & I hunted some zombie pigmen one day. I killed a couple, thinking things were going to go well, but then one got me low on health and I was forced to retreat, jumping off a cliff. I ran down with little health being chased down a nether fortress I built stuff in. I hid in one house, attacked the zombie pigman, and he got in. I ran out, and before I could regenerate health in my nether wart farm, he killed me. I spawned in my old main base, a pair of twin towers I was renovating luckily, and the Nether Portal was nearby. I ran through, grabbed my stuff near the portal, and killed it. I had to reorganize my inventory though.
I made a really nice, 3 story house, with about 20+ rooms. ALL made out of wood.
I decided that lava in glass would make a nice feature in my library. So I made a glass column, hollow in the middle for the lava. I poured my lava into the top of the column, then filled the top in. I stood back for a minute and thought it looked good.
10 minutes later, I was farming my wheat, which is about 30 blocks away from my house. Then saved my game.
Then the nightmare began. I turned around after getting my wheat only to see my house in flames!
Turns out that I had left a glass pane off the bottom of the column, so the lava was free to run out. Gutted.

Nice failure. But I am still going to give myself a slight edge in stupidity.
I went into the nether after spending hours diamond mining just to check it out real quik(first time in),loaded down with a stack of diamonds and lots of other goodies....so I was in the nether ,being attacked by 4 ghasts and 6 or 7 zombie pigmen,and this was when the ghasts were super crazy and could blow up your portal, The area around the portal was a pretty big flat open section of nether suspended above lava ocean so the ghasts were blowing holes in the ground and lighting fires EVERYWHERE .I couldn't run away very good without falling in holes or being burned,or attacked by pigmen and my portal was realy messed up because it had been blown up so many times that there were like 20 dead obsidian portal frames in one spot .I had all kinds of diamond stuff on me and did not want to lose it so I saved game with 1 and a half hearts left(VERY STUPID)...... anyhow I spent the next week trying to figure out how not to die and get out alive because as soon as I would load the game there would be a minimum of 4 ghasts and I would just die instantly because all of my armor was blown to bits and I had run off to get away from monsters,I became very frustrated and didnt play as much during the time afterwards,because I was thinkin man that was really DUMB....... oh yeah and I had 1 steak left too so there was no refilling of hearts for me .I did get out finally though ,out of luck the game loaded up with not many monsters around,and yes I could have set it to easy had I known you could do that at the time ROTFLMFAO

If you build it again, fire can spread through blocks, so make sure it can't do that either if you didn't keep that in mind before. It spreads 4 blocks above the air block occupied by the fire, 1 below that, & a 1 block radius around that, corners included, from top to bottom. I made a similar mistake, but only some fence burned. Keep in mind that wood outside of that range may still be susceptable to fire, because fire can exist on all surfaces of a block, so if air within the fire spread range is bordering a block (not diagonally though), it will set fire to that block. One workaround could be placing a non-opaque block like a torch, sign, etc. in the space within the fire spread range so fire can't occupy that block (wooden slabs + fences are flammable though).

Have you ever failed so badly?
