* [[Alternate Character Interpretation]]: [http://ben-hurr.deviantart.com/art/Minecraft-Ghast-183544320?q=boost:popular%20Minecraft&qo=8 This.]
** While mostly thought of as outright [[Jerkass|JerkAsses]] who exist only to frustrate the crap out of you, Creepers have sometimes been interpreted as sad, lonely little [[The Woobie|Woobies]] who only want a hug and just happen to explode with happiness when they approach you.
** [http://i.imgur.com/4Crdv.png Then there's the view that Creepers' aggression is entirely justified. ],
* [[And the Fandom Rejoiced]]: After two weeks of not having any new updates, Notch announced [http://www.minecraftwiki.net/images/7/7c/Boo.png this]. Cue the forum explosion.
** And now we were given [http://notch.tumblr.com/post/7276719413/coming-soon THIS] piece of information. It drips AWESOME through every pore.
Line 15:
** However, golden equipment (besides the hoe) is still more potent than even diamond equipment, so some server admins hack in golden equipment for themselves with infinite durability.
** Potions can also qualify since while they do have some useful effects and the harmful ones can be thrown when brewed with gunpowder. Only one potion can occupy a slot at a time. That means that not only can you not carry around that many potions, but the few you do carry around will be taking up more space than that one full stack of cobblestone you gathered while mining.

Line 43:
** In fact, in 2010, people apparently [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/104600-Minecraft-Multiplayer-Brought-Down-by-DDoS-Attack DDoS'd the game because they wanted more content]. They're lucky Notch just didn't give them the middle finger and take down multiplayer to show [[Why Fandom Can't Have Nice Things]].
** The [[LEGO]] fandom, by and large, is '''''not''''' reacting well to the news of the ''LEGO Minecraft'' partnership. While for the most part people are simply expressing legitimate concerns about how well ''Minecraft'' will translate to physical bricks ([[Reality Is Unrealistic|it's certainly not the perfect, 1:1 conversion people seem to think it is]]), [http://lunacyoflegomanvalues.tumblr.com/post/16504275828 some of the most vocal raging shows a devastating lack of knowledge on the matter to the point of being outright demeaning of fans of the game].
** For a while, fans were upset that villages simply had nothing to do in them or how villagers were just mindless wanderers. Several updates later by Jeb, villages now have villagers that are more active, hide inside their homes during a rainstorm, nighttime, or [[Zombie Apocalypse|when the village is attacked by zombies]]. Villagers can also repopulate, which create children. Iron Golems were also added to give the villages a means of defense against mobs. Fans are now crying that Jeb is focusing too much on villages and not enough on actual mining/bug fixes/whatever.
** Snapshots (betas/previews of the next version of Minecraft) are also subjected to this. Fans either complain that the snapshot breaks something in the game or how the snapshot didn't add anything new to the game. Others will also whine that the developers should just release the next version of Minecraft right away instead of wasting time testing it in the snapshot versions.
*** And, of course, if they ''did'', the pitchforks and torches would be broken out in the name of putting Mojang heads on pikes for not carrying out more testing...
Line 58:
** Burnable blocks set on fire sometimes never burn down, especially if boxed in when lit, allowing for eternal flames and always-lit fireplaces. This was fixed in Beta 1.3.
** Sometimes after crashes, parts of old saves are left around, and you can come across parts of your old builds in a supposedly fresh world.
** Fishing poles could be stacked, unlike any other item limited by durability. If you equipped and used a stack of fishing poles, they'd all lose durability at the same time. If you dropped one fishing pole on another, the resulting stack retained the latter's durability. This could be exploited for infinite fishing. The ability to stack them was removed in 1.6, effectively removing the exploit.
** What may perhaps be the king of Good bugs for this game... Set your system time ahead by an hour while playing.. You'll find yourself digging [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0I3pF-JYuA faster than the Flash on caffeine bullet time].
*** Again, fixed in 1.6.
Line 66:
** Another glitch allowed players to speed up minecarts by placing another on a separate track and running past each other. Again, the creators recognized that this bug was much more popular than the legitimate Powered Minecarts, which led to the official introduction of Powered Rails before the glitch was removed.
** A bug involving pistons and redstone repeaters has the capability to produce ''infinite amounts'' of blocks. Including diamond blocks. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkoYCiQ3-hs See in action here]. Fixed in the 1.7.3 patch.
** Sometimes, when the game crashes, some blocks will be glitched in or out of existence.
** An update to the Endermen improved their AI; specifically, if they come into contact with water, they would teleport away from it to avoid getting hurt. The glitch happens when it's raining, causing an Enderman to rapidly teleport around in an attempt to keep itself dry. [[Paranoia Fuel|Now, imagine being out during a rainstorm, and you see an Enderman for a split second out of the corner of your eye. You're almost certain it's around, you just don't know where it is. It could teleport into your line of sight, and then the real fun can start...]]
* [[Hell Is That Noise]]:
** While you often can't see your enemies due to the darkness, you can hear them coming. Players eventually tend to tense up if they even ''think'' they hear something. Some of the monster/ambient sounds are really disturbing, especially if you've been surrounded by silence for a while.
** More than anything else, the Nether is a constant aural assault, not helped in the least by the fact that the realm's chief antagonists' vocalizations ''always sound like they're right next to you''.
Line 75:
** Zombies banging on doors. Even if you're not playing on Hard, it's still enough to freak a player out.
** Pretty much every sound that the Endermen make. Even the noise they make when they die is unnerving — you'd think that the sound of a scary monster dying would be a relief, but nope, it's just creepy.
* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: [[Minecraft/Nightmare Fuel|So much]], that some take to classifying this game as [[Survival Horror]].
** In particular, the Creeper and the Enderman. And everything about [[Fire and Brimstone Hell|the Nether]], except for the Zombie Pigmen, who look alarming but are friendly so long as you don't attack them.
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: One of the random splash messages in the main menu could display "Absolutely dragon free!" Around the pre-release 6 of Minecraft 1.9, the Enderdragon was introduced.
** This has since been changed to read "Mostly dragon free!"
* [[Internet Backdraft]]: Mention [[
** Ask this question: What constitutes as cheating? Wait, who got out the flint & steel?
*** Apparently, cheating at Minecraft is a much more serious crime than adultery. Screenshot pending.
* [[It's the Same, Now It Sucks]]: In some unholy fusion with [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks]], after every major patch, people complain [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks]] about things that did not actually change.
Line 97:
** '''[[Game Over]]!''' Score: &e0
** Testificle: A mutation based on the odd placeholder name of the villagers in minecraft, "TESTIFICATE." Cue people misreading it as "testicle" and running with it.
** A [[YouTube]] meme related to Minecraft goes like this: after a person shows off their amazing superstructure...
{{quote|'''Comment''': [[Overshadowed by Awesome|I made a dirt house today]]...}}
** '''''"[[Freak-Out|You broke]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NylmdC_uEM the rules!]"'''''
** In-universe: One of the title screen splash messages says "[[Blatant Lies|Absolutely no memes!]]"
* [[Most Annoying Sound]]:
** Moo!
** Make sure you put a nether portal in a place where you don't spend a lot of time.
Line 136:
** Can also be done to search for the Rana image.
** There was one for Ghast ''an hour'' after Notch revealed it's design on [[Four Chan|/v/]]
** Ditto for Enderman and Silverfish.
* [[Ruined FOREVER]]: After Microsoft's E3 event (2011) revealed that Minecraft would be coming to the Xbox 360, [http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/365178-minecraft-coming-to-xbox-kinect-this-winter/ fans reacted predictably to the news], with the phrase "NOTCH IS A SELL OUT" being used the most.
** The fourth 1.9 prerelease ''made the sun and moon round'' (thankfully this decision has since been reversed).
Line 171:
* [[Unfortunate Implications]]: In a previous version of the alpha, you could only get gunpowder by murdering adorable little black people. If you couldn't bring yourself to kill them, you could just scavenge it from the bottom of a lake; those little dudes can't swim, but it doesn't keep them from trying.
** The 1.8 update introduced edible chicken, watermelon, and [[Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick|giant black creatures]]. Cue jokes and accusations of racism.
* [[What Could Have Been]]: the Sky Dimension was similar to the Overworld, except everything was floating islands. The potential for fun was great. Then Notch converted the whole thing into the End, which is an ugly greenish world with nothing much in it except the boss, and no reasons for anyone to want to stay there once the boss is dead.
* [[The Woobie]]: The player character, arguably. He was thrown into the world with little to no understanding of where he is and has to build a shelter by night time. He can't even go outside his house at night without being ruthlessly assaulted by monsters.
** Ever wonder why Creepers have those sad little faces? [[Alternate Character Interpretation|Some people have interpreted them]] as lonely creatures who only want to be your friend, but explode with happiness once they get close enough to you.
