If I could move my guy with the same precision as on the computer then probably not worried about dying. I would be worried about getting bored. MC Vanilla has nothing that interests me.

Tsssssssssssssssssssss…

You don’t have to theorize this, you can play Minecraft in VR and experience it.

It’s fucking terrifying. A creeper blew me up and I almost had a heart attack.

Initially a lot more, because of the shock and the will to ba back to my world, among humans, living the life I’ve been living my whole life. I wouldn’t want to die alone in what looks like an unexplainable minecraft world.

I may, eventually, reason that for such a thing to happen bigger forces must be at play, so I may just willingly try some form of suicide out of curiosity, so in such a state I would be a lot less scared.

This happens to be the plot of the book series, The Accidental Minecraft Family

Tsssssssh.

As someone who has never played Minecraft, I’d be terrified. It’s really easy to die when you are not familiar with the rules of the game.

I’m digging a tiny hole and staying inside forever with occasional peeks outside to see if it day or night. Tell my wife I miss her

Depends on difficulty settings. As long as it isn’t hardcore mode, less scared as I can just respawn when I die.

Here’s the thing that makes Minecraft’s world so much more dangerous: we have life-threatening creatures in the real world too, but they are living creatures bound to the laws of ecology; if you build a city without large herbivores, you can be sure that this city won’t have tigers in it, because they need those to live. A tiger would need to physically walk from the forest to the city, with ample opportunity of getting spotted. Hell, killing the last tiger is a safe way to never have to worry about them again, since they need to reproduce sexually, and if there are no tigers left in an area then no new ones will appear out of nowhere.

Minecraft creatures, meanwhile, do appear out of nowhere. It doesn’t matter if you’ve depleted the world of every last zombie, new ones can spawn absolutely anywhere, even within the safest possible area, all it takes is a small corner of mild darkness. Or does it? Because i’ve had random mobs spawn in extremely well-lit built environments where i was convinced they couldn’t.

Minecraft’s creatures cannot be definitively excluded from an area, nowhere is really safe beyond doubt even if the place is built entirely out of light-emitting blocks.

Then again, people do live in areas with venomous snakes and scorpions, those have a similar “potentially anywhere” threat as Minecraft mobs, yet people seem fine. They don’t live in fear all the time. Then again again, snakes and scorpions are passive and only attack if you make physical contact with them, whereas Minecraft mobs actively look for you.

So yeah, nowhere is truly safe in Minecraft, there’s genuinely always a possibility that you’ll need to defend yourself from some horror.
