Minecraft has been around for over 15 years, and millions of players have explored its world. Almost all of them have gone through experiences like spending the first time in a ditch or a mud hut in Survival mode. From the joy of finding diamonds to the fear of encountering creepers, every player has had these bittersweet experiences.Redditor yBlackjack posted on r/Minecraft, asking players to share the most avoidable and foolish way they died in the blocky world. OP added that they fell and died while building a mob spawner on Skyblock. The reason behind it was a misinput from the mouse because a piece of chip was stuck under it. They were trying to remove it, and while doing so, they walked off the block and fell down.Posts from the minecraft community on Redditchopchunk mentioned three of the stupidest reasons they remembered. One was the classic “digging straight down” while mining which resulted in the player falling into a lava pool. The second was trying to glide in the Nether with the elytra. However, they forgot to equip the item before jumping.The third reason was being swept through by a zombie spawner farm they made which led them to be more cautious and put water around the end chamber when they were building the farm.Redditors talk about the stupidest ways they have lost their life in the blocky world (Image via Reddit)MingleLinx mentioned another classic way of dying in Minecraft especially when one is not aware of the lesser-known game mechanics. The user said their brother asked them to sleep in the Nether to get some power. The funny bit was that despite the bed blowing up, they survived but when asked again, they fell into the trap.Accurate_Mongoose_20 wanted to heal as they had just half a heart but walked into a sweet berry bush to eat it. Getting stuck in those prickly plants can do a surprising amount of damage very quickly.u/Good-Potential6276 added that they got blown up by a TNT cannon they made. TNT can be quite volatile and handling this item properly is crucial if players want to avoid mishaps.Redditors mention more avoidable ways they have died in the game (Image via Reddit)geffenmcsnot said they accidently hit the iron golem while it was fighting zombies, leading to the golem turning hostile towards the player. Iron golems are passive mobs but if the player attacks it or the villagers nearby, it only takes a few hits from this iron giant to take out all the health points.Interesting gameplay mechanics on MinecraftSaddles can finally be crafted in Minecraft (Image via Mojang Studios)Starting a new world in Minecraft for the first time can be confusing for beginners, even if they are familiar with the basics of the game. For example, the unspoken rule of never digging straight down or not sleeping in the Nether are a few things that players learn over time, mostly by dying.What’s even more interesting is that since the game gets updated multiple times every year, many new features and mechanics are tweaked. So, new players might never know how the game was in the past.Take the case of the saddle item. For more than a decade, players would have to explore the world and find chests to get saddles. But with the recent updates, saddles can be crafted very easily. New, players would never understand the joy of finding saddles and finally being able to ride a horse or a pig.
