Minecraft/Funny

Fireplaces in wooden buildings
While rule 1 and 2 in Minecraft are that you shouldn't respectively dig straight down or straight up, rule 3 is about not making fireplaces when there's a lot of wood nearby. Here's why:

"Narrator: Uh oh."
 * This YouTube Video, where a user tries to explain how to make a fireplace and inadvertently burns down his whole house.


 * His video isn't the only one about that kind of incident either with about dozen of people making the same mistake. This person managed to burn down more than a house.
 * And yet another victim.
 * And another one.
 * That's funny too.
 * And here. Closed captions add to the hilarity, as does the fact that his friend told him to burn down the house.
 * This person thought he was prepared in case of a fire. He wasn't quite enough.
 * This person made a tower of cloth catch on fire...while he was inside it.
 * Parodied here.

Pranks and traps
"Victim: ...Why are you standing over there? Pranker: I'm...I'm looking for food."
 * 1:30 One person complains how mining a gold block disconnects him, tricking a server admin straight into a trap.
 * Ban reason: AHHHHHHHHHHHHH
 * In this video, a pseudo-Dynamite Candle prank is pulled on a player.
 * A little trap was set on these two adventurers.
 * One player rigged an entire house with hidden TNT, then invites his friend to join the server and check out the house. One guess as to what happens.

Others
"(while falling) "I heard that you can build twice as high in Minecraft now" "Oh really, that's interesAAAAAAAHHH""
 * This troper was playing on a griefing allowed server with a friend. After getting his house griefed one too many times,however, I snapped and burned down the jungle.
 * A friend of mine made a shelter in a cave, digging out the wall to make a fireplace. In an attempt to light it, however, he lit himself on fire.
 * Minecraft hit one million sales. Drunk Notch, karaoke, and a nerf gun followed.
 * Minecraft 1.2 trailer:

"I DID THAT! MEEEEEE! ...MEEEEEEE!"
 * A bug, now fixed, would enable you to ride pigs on ice really fast. Try not to giggle.
 * Another YouTube video, this time a recording of someone's live stream where he was just wrapping up for the session. The music just perfects the overall mood.
 * And the sequel, set to "Don't Stop Believin'".
 * An LPer by the name of bananapielord had uploaded his Minecraft world for his fans to edit as they please, and spent the next few videos showcasing the worlds they sent back. The third world in this video, showcased seven minutes in, has some interesting changes made to his house. Hilarity Ensues when he accidentally sets off a block of TNT.
 * Creeper juice!
 * The new Beta 1.2 update allows players to dye wool blocks different colors. The funny thing is that you can also do this to living sheep, resulting in a swarm of sheep in outlandish colorations.
 * Even better, when you shear the sheep, and the wool grows back, it's still the same color as the dye.
 * A hilarious glitch that makes you move super fast when the time is moved forward to compensate for how long it's "been." You have to see it to understand.
 * These two adventurers at the 14:00 point, find out that they don't make it in home in time, so they both build makeshift shelters, leading to a funny Inaction Sequence where they discover that one player lacks cobblestone to smelt glass in a furnace and the other finds out that he lacks sand so he can't make glass either. They find their own solutions to see outside. After a daybreak, they visit each other's "houses".
 * The Yogscast Machinima series that started as a Let's Play of Minecraft, which follows the adventures of Xephos (Lewis) and Honeydew (Simon). At first it seems like a classic playthrough of the game, and then they realize they're not alone on their private server after they find mysterious constructions and exploding traps in their house. They figure it's some prankster with way too much time on his hands, and they investigate. Then it gets weird. The series contains gems such as Simon's Suspiciously Specific Denials ("I DIDN'T BURN ANYTHING!"), the magical floating pig island, the totally worth it reward for completing the pyramid challenge, and their discovery that nexus portals don't actually work on multiplayer yet.
 * Now with 90% more own trope page.
 * It's a rap video (maybe)... until.. well, check it out for yourself. A much less disturbing version of the video above.
 * The Hatventurers give us many moments of funny minecraft antics.
 * FILTH BRIDGE FILTH BRIDGE FILTH BRIDGE FILTH BRIDGE
 * "Chickens fucking everywhere!". Someone finds out the properties of eggs when thrown at stuff (ie, they can spawn 1-4 chickens), so he and a bunch of friends mess with it, but they soon realise they've woken a sleeping giant here. Eventually the server overloads, especially when he tries something drastic.
 * This entire video. Filled with plenty of Angrish, pained cries of "WHAT THE FRICK", and failed attempts to ride a minecart, this stream has something for everyone!
 * Most items that involve the day/night cycle or direction start to bug out when you enter the Nether. However, the silliest case of this would have to be wood-and-wool beds exploding violently when one attempts to use them.
 * The Beta 1.6.6 patch notes. It has some nice tweaks, nothing too major... Wait, "Removed Herobrine"? What.
 * That's been in every patch for some time. Either Notch still thinks it's hilarious, or he's trying to do damage control on the persistence of the meme.
 * Blowing up an island. What makes it funny is the player's over-the-top reactions.

""Oh shnap! ""
 * Minecraft's lava physics are almost Wil E. Coyote-ish. Gives you exactly the right amount of time to regret what you have done.

""We've created the Sun." "IT'S LEAKING!""
 * A guy who plays Minecraft and shows off mods is constantly informed of things he appears to be doing wrong, such as not using a pickaxe on a certain boss in the Aether mod, not using gold weapons to kill werewolves from Mo Creatures, or not using redstone repeaters for fireworks shows. He seemed to take it rather well.
 * But whatever you do, do not break the rules on his watch.
 * This guy now has his own trope page, right here.
 * That's not far enough! NOWHERE is far enough! We are ALL GOING TO DIE!
 * Meta Moment : Bethesda threaten to sue Notch for an upcomming game called Scrolls for "stealing?" the name from The Elder Scrolls. Notch's proposal? A Trial-by-(Quake)-champion to settle this. Some people are waiting to see if it will work.
 * Best part? NOTCH IS ACTUALLY SERIOUS.
 * It didn't work. Bethseda are pressing their case. Given that Notch was effectively trying to copyright the word 'scrolls', YMMV on whether or not it's justified.
 * That is not how copyrighting works.
 * One word. BUNNIES.
 * It is now possible, in creative, to latch onto animals with a fishing rod, fly up to a very great height and yank them, thus causing them to go flying for miles. It never gets old.
 * Monster Spawners usually only create boring zombies or skeletons, but through hacking, you can get anything from pigs to Endermen. Hilarity is sure to ensue.
 * Those aren't diamonds, there're Fuck-Me Stones.
 * When Sethbling is not busy making awesome things in Minecraft, he's doing things that are both silly and awesome.
 * The Automatic Cartwash.
 * Cooking "eggs".
 * When you understand one of the references made in the splash screen.
 * Tobuscus improvs a song about a cheating sugar cane daddy in Minecraft called "Sugar Cane Song".
 * There's also the Pumpkin Massacre.
 * Heck, the entirety of "Enderman Roomate", especially "What the-".
 * Parts 31, 32, and 33 of his Minecraft videos are a textbook example of It Got Worse. in Part 31, Toby drowns in the water near his house when he forgets to surface for air. Then, because his bed was obstructed, he doesn't respawn in his house and has to find where he died, a problem made worse by his No Sense of Direction. In Part 32, Toby is forced to turn the game to peaceful mode as he dives for his items. Having spent half the video looking for his items, he goes off to bed... and dies because it was obstructed, losing his items and being teleported away from his house again. Part 33 is entirely comprised of him trying to find his house.
 * Someone made fun of the broken base, FOR EVERY UPDATE UP TO THE HALLOWEEN UPDATE! Link: Mojang goes bankrupt.
 * These SMP players tried to grief a griefer by encasing his house in a glass sphere and filling it with lava. Then it began to leak, and what results could be a scene from a typical disaster movie.


 * The 1.1 update added multiple language options. Guess what one of the options is? Pirate!
 * A chunks error can cause this to happen. That player won't be running out of beef any time soon.
 * Version 1.2 introduces something that Creepers are afraid of: . No, really. Tame a few and watch Creepers avoid you like the plague.
 * The code when enchanting, when translated, is completely random and nonsensical. What the nether is "shorten wet beast physical?"
 * Heck, ANY Game Chap mod review, especially the Herobrine series.
 * Why it is not a good idea to place a bed just below the ceiling.
 * Team Avolition, a griefing team, was challenged to see how much griefing they could perform on the Doridian server before getting caught. Stealing 3,500 diamonds, burning down the fabled city, and annoying the crud out of an admin who has no ban powers are the LEAST of their accomplishments. Doubles as a Crowning Moment of Awesome that they were able to pull this off in the first place.
 * "Sometimes it's hard to be a God", featuring the Clay Mod, full of Literal Metaphors (such as the world being named "The Heavens and the Earth"), faux-epic moments (such as green and blue soldiers parachuting in on feathers), and ultimately culminating in.
 * Rubber Ross's Derpcraft. What's even funnier is that the cartoon was based on his initial reactions.
 * Alekidsonic's Minecraft shorts. It's also a bit of a Take That to people who start playing Minecraft for the very first time.
