Minecraft/YMMV: Difference between revisions

** 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.

* [[Colbert Bump]]: From [[Valve Software|Valve]], [[Penny Arcade]] and others. These have caused several server overloads. For some sort of reference, only a few weeks after hitting beta and being in development for about six months or so, the game hit one million in sales. Something which even many big budget retail games are hard pressed to do several weeks after release much less an at-the-time one-man crew with no marketing budget to speak of with a game that isn't even finished.

* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]] The tracks composed by C418 can really set the mood just right.

** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqwSul5YmJ4 It's no secret that Deadmau5 likes to play Minecraft.] So much so that'mau5 even asked C418 if he could do a collaboration with him. [http://twitter.com/C418/status/558788297891840 He agreed.]

** As mentioned on the main page, people have a habit of complaining viciously whenever a bug is found, demanding that Notch conduct more beta testing. Only, he ''was''. Up until November 2011, Minecraft was in open ''beta'', making said bug finders ''beta testers''.

** Check the forums. Does the game have enemies? It's a rip off. Does the game have digging mechanics? It's a rip off. Does the game have a sandbox style gameplay? Rip off. Grass? Rip off.

** And this doesn't even begin to describe [[YouTube]]. If a popular channel has a video that contains or references ''Minecraft'', meets one of the above conditions, or even for no reason at all, every video that does not include ''Minecraft'''s comments will be composed 80% "YOU SHOULD DO MINECRAFT" OR "DO MOAR MINECRAFT, (insert whatever the video is about) SUCKS AND IS FOR PEOPLE WITH NO LIFE". This has become a massive issue among Youtube as a whole, making seemingly half the gaming channels deal almost exclusively with ''Minecraft''. See the [[Yogscast]] and their [[Yogscast Minecraft Series|Minecraft series]] for an example.

** 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]].

** 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.

** 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.

** 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...

** '''''"[[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!]]"
