When you die in Minecraft



2nd March 2016



Picture this: you're in your beautiful world, 40 xp levels under your belt, 'If only this world was all mine - if only it wasn't a shared world,' you think.

This happened on a world I share with my brother, so he was playing on it, as he has the right to do so, when he stupidly changed the difficulty from peaceful to easy, with nothing in his hotbar or inventory. I know some of you may be frequent hardcore players, but this is on the world we dedicate mainly to building, redstone and mining. As it was already dark, I shouted to him,

"Get a sword out silly!' Despite it mainly being a peaceful world, we have had to kill some blazes and the like for brewing and stuff, so we did own a diamond sword. Reluctantly, he walked into the house, opened the chest and got it out, all whilst claiming he was a 'fist-puncher' and 'didn't need it.'

Pretty soon, he managed to get his health down to just half a heart, with mobs still attacking him; by this point, I was screaming at him, telling him to change back to peaceful mode before he lost all of our hard-earned experience. Obviously, he didn't listen (if he did, I probably wouldn't be writing this blog). And so we died - or rather he died - and we lost the 40 levels of experience. Luckily, because he was so close to spawn, we got our unbreaking and bane of arthropods diamond sword back, but that didn't stop me from being angry with him.
