This brings back good times.

The first time I really laughed at death on Minecraft was when I was trying to baby a baby cow on a giant cliff in a giant storm, even when I pushed his parents off the ledge. I was heartless back then, but I don't care now.

Oh yeah, did I mention he got struck by lightning in front of me?

Yeah. Good times.

So, I'm here to ask you guys, what was the most hilarious death you've witnessed or have committed on Minecraft?

When I realized that KeepInventory was true and MobGriefing was false on the server I play on, I invented a new sport: creeper bombing.

I spent an entire night running at creepers, cuddling close to them, then dying, respawning, and trying it all over again. It was easily the most fun I'd ever had dying.

Creeper explode, launch me into the air and i hit a cacti

Digging in a mine, just minding my own bussiness when I hit a lag spike, and not realize it.

Break a block, move forward, repeat. Only to get rubber banded back by two blocks, and suffocate due to gravel that fell right before the lag spike.

Playername was slain by cow

How did that happen?

Enderman placed a block next to one of those floating sand patches, you know the ones where it glitches and you get floating sand? I was right under one and an enderman placed his grass block right on it.

I was killing off zombie pigmen in the nether inside my little base. A baby zombie pigman runs inside the small hole of my base riding a chicken and killed me.

Eventually that chicken died from walking infront of fire...he turned into cooked chicken and I ate him.

R.I.P Chicken...he was delicious..

I was near a lava ravine and fought some silverfish. There was one left, but I couldn't see it. There was a hole where the eggs broke, and I went in there. In short, it ambushed me from the hole and knocked me into the lava. It leaped in after.



I was also in hardcore.

Pushing a sheep to a lava lake and ended up falling with her. '-'

This is back when I quite literally had just bought Minecraft. I opened up a new world, and being a noob, I immediately tried to get the coal behind the lava pit. Rather then digging down to it, I just built a small, level bridge across the lava. Did I mention the bridge was made off wood?

Death #2 came when I tried to reach the coal yet again. I pressed down shift, crept out over the lava, and was about to place a dirt block to start my new bridge when a cow comes along and pushes me straight into the firey pit.

I had built an underground village and associated iron golem grinder. But it wasn't working well enough, so I was making some modifications. My base is in an Extreme Hills biome of course, so when I broke some blocks while modifying the spawning platform for the golems, I broke a silverfish egg block. A small lag spike let the silverfish get a couple of hits in before I could kill him, and I got knocked into the drop shaft for the golem grinder by the knockback from the silverfish attack. Fine, I actually had built into the bottom of the shaft an escape-hatch door for just such a fell-into-my-own-grinder incident. There was a layer of water blocks atop the hoppers at the bottom of the shaft, so the fall didn't hurt me, but the silverfish jumped in with me. And hit me again. And the knockback forced me to jump up...putting my head into the layer of lava source blocks above signs above the water I was standing in atop the hoppers. With my head in lava and my feet in water, I was technically swimming, so I was only slowly sinking down, and every time my head was almost out of the lava, the silverfish hit me again and knocked me back into the lava. With my head in the lava, I could neither see the silverfish nor the exit door, so I could neither kill the dang silverfish nor escape through the exit door, and I was constantly taking damage from having my head stuck into lava. Even though I quickly drank the fire resistance potion I had in my hotbar, I'd taken enough lava damage that the silverfish finished me off. Luckily, thanks to the water and hoppers, I only lost a couple of easily replaced blocks and one piece of enchanted iron armor to the lava. But it was one of my more annoying and embarassing recent deaths.

I had pretty good armor in a survival server so i was like: " I probably wont die if i fall into lava! " So i started digging straight down.

EnzoSoCute tried to swim in lava.

i got shocked by a thunder before..

i was mining underwater and then i tried to go out i was drowning and a squid was keeping me from going up





Applekingberk drowned

I was building an ender farm with dirt (hey, I was poor and my pickaxe broke.) I tested it out and it worked fine. The next time I used it, though, I didn't notice that one of the dirt blocks were gone. To make a long story short...



Themininghobbit was slain by Enderman

I was building a farm high above the ground. I had placed some blocks to help me climb up to reach some chests and hoppers, and when finished, I started breaking the temporary blocks as I climbed down. My platform is made of bottom-half slabs, so the last block I'm breaking is a top-half slab to allow me to jump up onto the next highest full block. Forgetting that when you break a slab that's on top of another slab, it almost always breaks both, I was still standing on the block.

My farm is so high, I had plenty of time to realize my mistake and even realize there was nothing I could do to avoid death before I hit the ground. It took a good 3 or 4 seconds.

If in a video counts, "Aureylian fell off a ladder" That was the death message and it was modded with shaders and luckyblocks
