Minecraft: 7 Terrifying Moments New Players Must Endure

You have mined for gold and fed the chickens. You have also repaired the breached outer walls and replaced the broken glass.

You pause the game to stretch out your arms and take a look through your window (y'know, back in the real world).

You sigh with resignation and exhaustion. Damn... the actual sunrise.

Any type of figure or statistic supporting the notion that this occurrence is a regular happening among Minecraft newcomers doesn’t exist. No scientific study or serious investigation has been conducted regarding this specific topic, so the speculations hereby presented are nothing more than wild unconfirmed theories.

However, if you’re a committed and somewhat obsessive gamer (as I think a lot of you might be), there’s no way you didn’t spend a crazy amount of time glued to the screen when you first started playing Minecraft.

Learning the ropes and perfecting recipes; taming animals and building an ever growing empire.

No long cinematic intros, no main evil antagonists. Just a player and a blank sheet of reality.

Who wouldn’t lose track of time? The sun is already up, you say? Let’s keep playing.

Personal record? 19 hours, 31 minutes. Terrifying, but how about yours?
