Every few years I revisit #Minecraft, and every time I'm somehow surprised at how scary it is.

Harmless things that have jumpscared me so far:

- The game music
- A friendly squid
- My pet cow mooing
- The axe that I was literally carrying
- The sheep that I forgot was following me
- Saw an enderman from really far away
- Sailing along happily and then realising I'm over a really deep bit
- The game music again

@teahands right there with you! I love it but have spent a bunch of time constructing scenarios or modpacks to let me enjoy the mining and crafting parts without the jumpscares. (you seem to have already discovered peaceful mode, but it locks one out of some late game content, hence mods)

@relsqui I have this bizarre feeling that playing on peaceful would be letting the side down somehow. Like I must persevere and one day I'll get over the crippling fear.

Today might not have been that day, but you never know about tomorrow! :D

Turning on Keep Inventory greatly reduced my anxiety level. 😅

@leadore @teahands oh yeah, I'm a big fan of that as well

@relsqui @leadore Actually didn't know that was an option tbh! I'll have to check for it, although my playstyle is so cowardly that losing stuff is rare 😅

Turning subtitles on is my fave trick. They give a direction arrow for the bad noises, so I know which way to avoid digging in my mine.

Yes, I use the subtitles too! 🙂
