Well... there I was. In a new game. And I was starving. Luckily I had a trusty fishing pole. Or so I thought...
I filled my inventory with lots of fishing junk and a few enchanted items/bows/poles and did not catch one fish. Even using an enchanted pole didn't help. I probably would have caught a fish eventually if I didn't get blown up by a creeper I failed to notice...
I chalk it up to bad luck. Anyone end up being cursed with bad luck in your game?
I've strip mined at y=12 and went through 2 entire diamond pickaxes before finding any more diamonds. As for fishing, I'm super lucky. I heard the fishing was changed, I was playing the brand new 1.7 blind. I tried it, very first catch, the most amazing enchanted bow I've ever gotten in the game. Don't remember the enchantments but they were beastly.

Let me know if my posts are helpful or if you like them. That's what I'm here for.
I am currently lurking more than I am posting. I haven't gone anywhere.
I seem to start seeds where I can never find the animal I need the most.

Yeah, that guy in the avatar is me. I'm *that* strange. It happens. Sometimes people act like that. Just go with it. I can offer help with suggestions even before you post them - NOT make your suggestions - but help you with them.
I wanted to make some golden apples but I didn't have any apples. I went to the wild and started chopping of oak trees. 12 oak trees later and I got my first apple

Worse luck - creeper blew when I happened to be standing on a single layer of grass blocks covering a huge ravine that bottomed out at Y12 in a lava lake. Chances of any of my stuff surviving = 0%;... and, naturally, I was returning from a successful mining trip with a full inventory.

At the time I was fishing, I picked up some nice enchantment books (I think Infinity was one of them). However, none of them do any good when you're starving and hoping for a fish...

Wow. That's bad luck! I can NEVER find the animals I need, but I have pretty good fishing luck.

Omg ocean monuments SUCK XD
this is the worst luck I have ever had in the game... I was playing with a friend on a server and we went to an ocean monument, luckily the server we were on has a corpes plugin instead of spewing your items everywhere, so we got to the ocean monument and got attacked by THE EVIL FISH I HATE SO MUCH >:o
We died like 5 times and the ocean floor was littered with dead bodies XD one of them was my friend trying to get my items for me and he drowned half way up to the surface, Then the luck changed to good when I found out I had all the stuff to make some water breathing and invis potions and then I swam under water and got both of our items and put them in a chest then sorted it out, I'm never going back to an ocean monument again XD
i never got the sea lantern I went there for because of mining fatigue XD
I HATE GUARDIANS!! >:o XD

EVERY time i make a default world, i spawn on this island in the middle of scenic nowhere. Thats why i only play on Superflat with the biome set to Forest so that i can get wooden tools and progress.

Due to my personality I may seem one or more of the following:
Offensive
Aggressive
Stubborn (I always mean this when it shows)
Irritable
Sarcastic (I always mean this when it shows)
So I was playing some survival and decided to make a pigman farm. I locked myself inside a cobblestone cage and killed the pigmen. But when I tried to get back to the portal, an angry mob of pigmen pursued me along with an angry ghast. I was trapped on a narrow ledge of gravel and I had 2 choices: 1 was to be killed, 2 was to make the gravel drop with the added risk of falling into the lava beneath. I had to commit suicide: I ran right into an angry pigman and lost everything. My complete iron armor set, my enchanted diamond tools, yes EVERYTHING. After that, I decided to abandon my world.
That seed is forever tainted with the remnants of such a horrifying memory, I'm sure....
Naw, I just dusted myself off and started collecting stuff again - it's all just pixels anyway and losing is as much part of the fun of the game as winning. I do now make sure I'm standing on "solid" ground before taking on creepers though.

On this one factions server, we had 8 people online at the same time. We had full diamond enchanted gear. Then 1 enemy donar came on with OP enchants and killed us all at the same time, and took our land from our faction. That was the day I forever quit factions. Never again will I play factions AGAIN, it just sucks big time. Then I started to play towny, and I've liked it ever since then.

So... I started a new world, again, no sign of anything although this time a walked a lot further, i was getting pretty confused/mad all i wanted is too play minecraft. So i started another! And Another (It went on for about 1 hour of making new worlds over and over) i was still mad and ended up closing the game, to this day its still happening, i have about 100 - 200 maps in my folder all with no luck so im on the edge of quitting.Maybe i could give this a second chance?

Y'know? I bought Minecraft because I thought it was a war game where you had to create tactically placed proximity explosive devices...

Thank you. That's sweet... and it's every bit as real as the ones I lost.
Not when your holding a map.
Once I mined into the treasure room in a desert temple and a skeleton shot me onto the pressure plate. I lost my smite diamond sword

Everyone gets bad luck in the game once in a while, RNG does exist in the games actual mechanics, your fishing example proved it.
Spawning of monsters is done by RNG
If you got hit by a Zombie instead of a Creeper, chances are you would've lived and wouldn't have your property or piece of territory destroyed.
But like a game of poker, you should try to play with the odds in your favour
and you can do this by using sufficient lighting or transparent blocks or bottom half slabs to prevent monster spawns,
removing unnecessary risk to you while you're fishing for fish or enchantments.
Probability has always been a fact of life, but skilled players will try to tip the odds in their favour within the rules of a game.
