I actually managed to get through a lot, when I was surviving in the meantime. I was still a newbie to Minecraft, but watched a lot of YouTuber videos, so I DID IT! I still got the Survival World in my saves, but I never play it much
The first house I built didn't have a roof, it was just 4 walls surrounding me. I thought I was safe till the first night when a spider saw through the walls, climbed over and started raping me. So pretty much 10-12 minutes.
I survived till the night in Beta 1.1 and then was damn terrified when I realized monster were spawning and killing me.
Still don't like caving really except for easy iron, although thanks to a lot of Etho and Lorgon111 LP's I can deal with pretty much anything now and rarely, if at all, die. The new zombie reinforcing mechanic is pretty irritating, since the wayfinding is working pretty good in caverns and zombies appear behind you every now and then.
I had been watching paulsoaresjr's tutorial videos before I started playing Minecraft.
I started my first survival world, collected a few resources and made a hidey-hole (a hole in the side of a mountain). When the first night came, I spotted a creeper outside my door. I ran out of my hole, smacking it with my wood sword, completely forgetting that they explode... lol
I lasted quite a few days but only because I had a minecraft pro standing over my shoulder for a half hour or more telling me exactly what to do. After I was on my own I got killed much more often.
I had already read enough about minecraft that by the time I actually got the game I knew to stay indoors on the first night and be incredibly cautious about leaving when day came. Of course back then you could get away with just digging into the side of a hill or ravine and leave just a 1x1 hole as a "window" and nothing could get to you except maybe skeletons shooting you through the hole. Now you have to contend with baby zombies...or worse, the chicken jockies that are coming in 1.7.3.
I don't remember exactly how long before I died the first time, but I think it had something to do with an enderman teleporting into my house and me attacking it out of panic. Stupid...
My first time playing I lasted about 2 days but dies from hunger, i was not good at it either....

Made a small house out of sand. Night fell, and before I could get to my sand cabin, zombies got me.
I spent most of that night
re-spawning, running away (or walking, since I did not know how to run), dying, re-spawning, etccrying...Morning came and the first thing I did was run up a mountain, build walls around myself, and dig down.
To this day I've yet to use that little sand cabin...
Good times.
HAVE YOU MET ONE OF THESE GUYS? --->
Play minecraft.

This isn't if you rarely die, please post how long you have survived...

Ropes: Leads, just better -Deonyi
So they randomly spawn now? I didn't know about this..
Back in the olden days, Alpha 1.2.1, there was a person named BearsInShadows, he hugged a creeper,
that about sums up my first 5 minutes of minecraft.
