Long enough to make the worst castle you've ever seen.

Back in alpha my friend showed me the game and then he told me to always get a lot of dirt and build a dirt house and first get wood afterwards, that way i stayed alive for like 30 mc days :-)

But how did you die? I wanna know .-.

First time I died... Would have to be when I loaded up my game for the first time, and they happened to have just implemented chickens..
Took me about 3 seconds before I plummeted to my death from an 'innocent' push from behind... -.- ever since then, I keep at least 10 blocks from chickens at all times.

First time playing actual minecraft was in 2010, I didnt know much about the game or how to place blocks! I just went into inv and grabbed whatever not knowing how to place I mashed my keyboard and mouse. I looked at mc I found out I placed a block so I started mashing more and made a 2x2 house consisting of bricks, cobweb, and 1 tnt. And how did I die for the first time well,I went off that world joined a server in a gaming cafe and lets just say who knew minecraft had physics when it comes to certain blocks.

Well then.. what did you think the sand or gravel would do? xD

In my first minecraft world I survived a very long time because I watched a lot of youtube videos and I knew some good tactics on how to start out.

Lol, almost everyone seems to have the exact same story. When I first played Minecraft.... there were no monsters. Just people and blocks :/ zombies and skeletons got added later

So I guess your a veteran then huh?

I started on normal mode without even knowing the controls... When night came I panicked and dug a three hole down and survived the night. Then when I got to surface I went to a forest to cut down some trees and there was a zombie child (shudder) underneath... Instant death. I was mentally scarred. Whenever I see one RUUUUUUUUUUN!!!!!!!!!!

LOL...

I spawned underwater for my first game and drowned instantly...

The next game I found out in a matter of minutes that you could die from heights...

That night I found out what an Endermen was... scared the living crap out of me.

The next day (in game) i found out what lava does.

After that I decided to Google, Minecraft for Noobs.

The first time I played survival minecraft, I died on the first night. Lol, I was such a n00b. XD

Well...
I liked to have monsters on hard but as soon as i saw just one one, i'd run for my life and turn peaceful back on, the first time I died was probably after falling off a cliff to run away from a pig... (my friends had a play with me an said pigs with those eyes were dangerous, of course i thought all of em' were dangerous)

I didn't get a house built during my first day in my first world (which is still my main world) because I spent it all exploring (I actually found a Desert Temple on one of my first few days). Because of this, I died during my first night. This was in Minecraft 1.5.1.

I actually survived a pretty decent time! Until, that is, I tried to mine obsidian the "wrong" way... but I survived 7 in-game days before I died! And then my house burned down too...

I was killed by a slime in 5 minutes.

Did you just go down in the mines when you spawned?

2 min a creeper came out of a cave I did not know he blew up the next time I found a desert temple and landed on the tnt trap

I died the second I left the house on the second day. So, next time, don't leave your house.

Survived longer than expected.

This does not explain much.. :/

I can't remember how I died as a noob.

I haven't died yet. I started the world in beta 1.8.

I started killing sheep and pigs in the demo world, then got some new types of blocks, mostly dirt, flowers, and seeds. Night came. Zombies mauled me up.
