- Welcome to "Worst Ways to Die".
My name is Jovenshire and on this show,
we list the most deplorable ways
to meet that pesky game over screen
in some of your favorite video games.
Today we start with "Minecraft", that most expansive,
most craftiest sandbox game of endless possibilities.
Possibilities that include some of the most humiliating,
soul crushing ways to meet your maker.
Let's take a look.
(thunder crashes) (dramatic music)
(fire crackles)
So you've just started "Minecraft".
Congratulations, a life time of adventure awaits.
Now, you've been asking your friend, Mark, for tips
and he was particularly excited
to guide your cubic new butt here, the nether.
- Mark says if I die here,
I'll respawn back in the old world
but my stuff will stay in the nether, unless I set up a bed
and sleep down here.
- Sounds like some sound advice to me.
- This will make exploring down here so much easier.
- Oh, absolutely.
- I'll just take a nap and everything will be A okay.
- Yes, you can sleep forever.
- What was that? - Nothing.
- Okay, well, see you in a bit. (sighs) (explodes)
- Seems your old pal, Mark, lied to you
and took you through a right of passage here in "Minecraft"
and that's why this death makes the list.
It not only cost you your items,
it may have cost you your friendship with Mark.
(jaunty music)
Now you're exploring one of the infinite caves
here in "Minecraft", which is great
but I'd really like to narrate in the sunshine eventually.
- I'll go there next.
Quit whining. - I'm not.
You know, I'm getting more okay with the fact
that you're gonna die soon.
- I'm what? - So
you're exploring the caves
which have their own unique threats,
like bats or silverfish or--
(Man screams) (lava splashes)
Lava.
Jump out towards the edge.
Keep jumping, yeah, you're gonna die if you stay in there.
- I'm trying, I'm trying.
My God, I survived and barely with only half a heart left.
- Of course you survived because falling in the lava
wouldn't be the worst way to die but this is.
(arrow splats)
That's right, a worse way to die is to narrowly escape death
only to be shot in the head by an unseen skeleton.
(arrow splats) Is that really necessary?
(skeleton rattles)
Well, would you look at that.
You've assembled a house that looks like a carbon copy
of the "Rick and Morty" house.
How original of you.
You must have a large IQ.
- What was that now? - Oh, nothing,
you're doing great.
Looks pretty accurate,
except for the dining room doesn't have lights in it.
Yeah, that's gonna cause a problem
because one of these nights, you're going to find reason
to take refuge in your swiffy little house,
which now contains a swiffy dark room
and in dark places spawn creepers.
(creeper blinks)
- No. (creeper explodes)
(arrow splats)
- Pity, if only he had created a fully lit structure,
like mine, he would've had unlimited power. (laughs)
Wait, did he just jump into the thermal exhaust?
(ship explodes)
(dynamite crackles)
- Ha, time to get pay back for that nether fiasco
your friend, Mark, put you through.
Behold, the TNT house of death.
- I built an absolutely enormous house.
I lined the walls entirely with boxes of TNT
and he's going to come over and trip the switch
and set off a chain of explosions,
the likes of which "Minecraft" has never seen. (laughs)
(switch clicks)
- You just activated the switch to set off the trap,
didn't you? - Yes.
- Okey dokey then.
Ah, yeah, I'm gonna leave now.
(house explodes)
Now we've covered many horrible ways others have died
but for our number one spot,
let's take a look at something stupid I did.
Let's say you're on a bit of a self-made quest
to see a friend of yours that's miles away.
You travel light, just food as you find it
and a bed you keep breaking down and taking with you,
just to sleep past those nights.
After hours and hours of struggling to survive
and fending off monsters, you're down to your last heart,
but then you see him.
- I can't believe you made it.
- Yes, barely.
All I have is a half a heart left.
Can I please have some food?
- Of course, buddy, here you go.
Ow. - Oh, whoops.
I hit the wrong button.
(dogs bark)
(screams) Yeah, that really happened to me.
I spent so long and traveled so far
and just because I stupidly clicked the left mouse button
instead of the right mouse button,
I got killed by two friendly dogs
and because I kept breaking my bed down,
I never saved my progress, so.
(dramatic music)
(yells) Honestly, man, this moment still haunts me
to this day.
Truly one of my worst moments in you.
(arrow splats)
So there you have it.
The worst ways to die in "Minecraft".

- You said it.
Wait, where are these hospital beds? (screams)
(lava explodes) (fire crackles)
