[[File:Minecraft_7791.png|link=Nothing Is Scarier|
The underground tunnels of ''[[Minecraft]]'' have been compared to ''[[System Shock]] 2'' due to their complete isolation, the darkness, and the mindless polygonal [[Body Horror|Body Horrors]]. [[Nightmare Fuel|And there's still more to it]].

* Try exploring a deep cave with the ambiance sounds and mob noises, without getting paranoid.
Line 16:
* KNOWING that there are Creepers outside in the morning, but not knowing where.
* Hearing a monster noise out of nowhere, but not knowing where (again).
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20130825073449/http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/User:Kizzycocoa/Herobrine This. Just... this.]
** Becomes a bit of a [[Tear Jerker]] if you look at it as a sibling trying to play his brother's amazing game in peace.
** Turns out it was a hoax.
Line 23:
** [[Nightmare Retardant|It WAS a joke]]. Notch actually just removed the code for a human mob which had previously been [[Dummied Out]].
** [[Rule of Three|He's been removed yet again as of Minecraft 1.8...]]
** [https://twitter.com/#!/Kappische/status/109153949017313280 Fool us once, shame on you.] [http://www.minecraftwiki.net/images/e/e3/Minecon-Herobrine.png Fool us twice, and its probably just an inside joke.]{{Dead link}}
* The range at which you can hear a mob is 16 blocks. Now realize the range at which a mob can sense you is 16 block; this means that if you can hear it it can find you, and if it finds you you are probably 5 seconds away from being mobbed by zombies. This can make anyone paranoid of noises in Minecraft.
* You've just used up most of your tools, and it's getting dark out. You've only a few torches left (perhaps none if you went full out) as you're running from the cave you just finished excavating, and the sky is getting very dark, so you're making a bee-line for the camp/lodging you made yourself... and all too late do you fall down that nearly bottomless pit that is a vertical drop into complete darkness.
* The recent January 13 update grants the giant spiders the ability to ''climb up walls.''
* Also in this update: [http://www.minecraftwiki.net/images/a/a3/Squid_swim1.PNG Squids.]{{Dead link}} Aww they're kinda cut[http://www.minecraftwiki.net/images/3/3c/Squidmouth.png OH GOD AAA]
** At least there's no way you'll ever see them outside of the Nether, right? [http://twitter.com/#!/notch/statuses/28442542287 RIGHT?!?]
* If you are foolish enough to go to bed where monsters can get you, you'll doze off and go to sleep... only to be immediately woken up by a monster ''right beside you.''
Line 36:
** Somewhere, out there, a Creeper is plotting to kill you.
** Imagine this: it's your first time playing Minecraft. You're running around a happy, bright field, looking for some trees to get some wood from, when you suddenly step over the edge of a deep gorge you had no idea existed until a few moments ago and fall in. Taking a look around, you find no discernible exit and a Creeper lurking in an alcove, staring directly at you and doing absolutely nothing - waiting for you to pass by so it can spring out and blow you up.
* Creepers hit by lightning turn into [http://www.minecraftwiki.net/images/9/98/Electrified_Creeper.png power creepers]{{Dead link}}, which are not only scarier, but are also more powerful.
** "More powerful"? That's an understatement. If you're on normal or hard, these things are [[One
** The Minecraft Wiki's advice for dealing with one? "Run."
** Oh come on! They can't be that much more powerful. [http://www.minecraftwiki.net/images/e/e4/Electric_and_normal_creeper_explosion_comparison.png Right?]
Line 50:
*** Sheer cliffs all around, with strange, unnatural looking landmarks, and no mobs, trees, or anything to keep you company. Nothing but sand, dirt, and stone.
*** The Minecraft [[The Wiki Rule|Wiki]] has some ''[[Sarcasm Mode|lovely]]'' images that show the Far Lands twisting blocks out of shape once you get deep enough in them. For a character used to simple, even square shapes like the [[Player Character]], the [[Mind Screw]] is probably quadrupled. Oh, and [[MC Edit]] gets distorted by attempting to edit the Far Lands, too - ''everything'' related to [[Eldritch Location|that region]] is just pure [[Nightmare Fuel]].

** Even worse, the Nether also has Far Lands. Take the normal Far Lands, and put it in hell.
*** (Fortunately) Dead. Now you get oceans...and oceans...and oceans... oh and you will fall into "fake chunks" and die. Enjoy!
Line 59:
*** The last adventurers ARE the zombies and skeletons. It gets worse. That doesn't explain Creepers. OR ghasts.
*** The latest update added villages and villagers, but since they apparently are going to be quite rare and isolated, it might not do much to quell those thoughts.
**** And when you do find one, you'll discover that the villagers aren't quite human - their large heads and long noses make them look like Neanderthal [[
**** [[Uncanny Valley|And they are creepy as hell.]]
* 1.8 also added the [http://i.imgur.com/XEkal.png Endermen], a terrifying cross between [[Slender Man Mythos|Slender Man]] and [[Doctor Who
** Even worse, the other possible name for endermen was "farlanders." Notch has stated that yes, Endermen come from the aforementioned Far Lands.

Line 73:
*** Worse, when you get too close while looking at them, they teleport away from you, away from your reticle.

*** [http://www.twofedoras.com/2011/11/mommy-where-do-creepers-come-from-the-end/ Now with voiceover and creepy music. Do not watch at night.]{{Dead link}}
*** [[It Got Worse|Not anymore.]] Not only are they immune to sunlight, but they now teleport away the moment they come in contact with water. As well as teleporting away from oncoming Arrows. Oh, and they also have their own sound clips now.
*** They also make pretty disturbing noises when they die.
Line 79:
*** The Enderdragon will no longer be invincible, but pray that there remains no way for them to reach the overworld.
** Speaking of Weeping Angels, there is a mod that adds them to the game.
** The Endermen bear a disturbing resemblance to [[SCP Foundation
** If you ever piss off an Enderman without killing it, it will continue stalking you until one of you is dead.
* Some [[Sarcasm Mode|kindly]] contributors at deviantART have been kind enough to provide us with approximations of what each mob would look like in a realistic setting. We have [http://cameron1395.deviantart.com/art/Minecraft-Zombies-204611557 zombies], [http://myrdah.deviantart.com/art/Minecraft-Creeper-198373242 creepers],[https://web.archive.org/web/20110429072532/http://devburmak.deviantart.com/art/Minecraft-fanart-202765808 skeletons and spiders], [http://chick3nfoot.deviantart.com/art/Day-of-the-Zombie-Pigmen-197528589 zombie pigmen],and the ever adorable [https://web.archive.org/web/20131105014813/http://riyuzakisan.deviantart.com/art/Minecraft-Ghast-Wallpaper-183943699 ghasts].

** A collection of all current hostile mobs, minus slimes, was good and scary enough to get noticed by Notch himself. [http://ghostfire.deviantart.com/art/Not-Enough-Torches-262369350 Good luck sleeping tonight.]

Line 100:
** A really good example of the above can be seen in the very first episode of the [[Yogscast Minecraft Series]]. Lewis notices a Creeper standing at the edge of a cave over a cliff with an overhang and asks what it is to Simon. Simon immediately tells Lewis that it's a Creeper, and the horrible things they do. It then turns around and heads back into the cave.

* The new Release Candidate gives the Endermen really weird and creepy sounds. You may want to turn your volume down before you kill one. The new teleport sound is also rather creepy as well.
* If you jump from a large height in 1.0, you can literally hear your bones crack as you hit the ground.
