Minecraft: 7 Terrifying Moments New Players Must Endure
2. Hello, Mr. Creeper.
As the name entails, Creepers are sneaky creatures that will self-destruct around the player when you get too close to them. Encounters with Creepers are particularly harrowing while exploring deep uncharted caves, not the ones you dig up with your own blocky hands and sweat, but rather the natural formations that were there all along.
Creepers are unmistakable staples of this game that have ignited fear and frustration in the hearts of millions of players from all around the globe. We’ve all been in that awkward place. Picture it: you’ve just found a rich vein of underground gold, you’re excited about this rare find and get to work right away. The cave is deep, deeper than expected, and you’ve only set a few torches around to illuminate your endeavor.
Suddenly, you get a glimpse of it among the long shadows. It’s the Creeper, or so you think. You look behind you, but there’s nothing there. You keep mining, you’re also increasingly nervous. It’s just a game, you think. A silly old game, there’s nothing to be afraid of… you turn around just in time to glance at the green face of your doom. The Creeper blows up, you have to start over.
