Q&A for How to Die in Minecraft

Yes. The benefit to Ender Chests is that you can put one anywhere and it will have the same contents. This is better than chests.

Then you won't lose anything. Just do /gamerule keepinventory true.

No. Zombies cannot spawn in peaceful mode, nor any other hostile mobs, but things like pigs, chickens, and cows can still spawn if the floor is grass or podzol (less chance of animals), mycelium (only mushrooms), or just plain dirt.

Guns are not able to be crafted in the vanilla version of any version of Minecraft. If they were added by a mod, then the crafting recipe should be included in the mod's description.

No, only Endermans (they can move the creation, one block at a time) or a Creeper (which can explode causing a TNT like effect).

5 blocks is extremely sufficient to die in Minecraft. Build a tower and fall and you will die.

You can die in creative mode by using commands or falling into the void; however, most mods do not allow a mob to kill you. In Java, dying in Creative mode is possible by falling in the void.

You can use a Ender Chest, they can be placed in the normal world and they will have your stuff in them. Yes there are Endermen in the End World.

No, foxes are passive mobs in Minecraft. They won't attack you, even if provoked, and will typically run away unless they have been tamed or are asleep.

Yes, you can do all of these methods in the Windows 10 edition of Minecraft.

First off, depending on where you died, you may be able to retrieve it. If you died from say, fall damage, or drowning, or a mob attack, and are within 5 minutes of travel from your current spawn point, then you can travel back to where you died and retrieve it. If it fell into say, lava, or fire, or a cactus (supposing you’re in the Nether, or Desert, or those things happen to be nearby) then it’s gone forever.

Yes, you could do this, that way you'd have your coordinates so you can easily go back to where you were.

Yes, the wither or decay effect can kill you easily in Minecraft if you aren't paying attention to your health.

If you're in adventure mode or survival mode, you can die if you want. But if you can't die, check your mode, maybe you're in creative mode.

If you're in easy or medium, you can't die by being hungry. But if you're in hard or hardcore, you can die by being hungry.

Yes, you can die from potion effects. The Potion of Harming can kill you if you drink it or are splashed with it. Potions of Poison won't kill you directly but will reduce your health to half a heart, making you vulnerable to other attacks.

If you're new to Minecraft, then it will be hard to play the game until you understand what to do with everything. If you've been on Minecraft for years, then you can start a world in less than five minutes and it won't feel hard, it just feels like fun.

There’s an option in the settings that allows you to turn show co-ordinates on and off.

You can die from void damage in the overworld in creative. You just need to dig down and break the bedrock at the bottom of the world, then fall into the void.

Yes, you can die in Minecraft on all platforms, including the Wii U.

There are 2 ways to fall into the void: The first is to travel to the End Dimension and jump off the island. (Can be done in survival). The second is to break through the Bedrock layer at the bottom of the Overworld or Nether, and jump in. This requires Creative mode, or commands like /fill or /setblock.

You can store your items in regular or Ender chests. Alternatively, you can enable "keep inventory" to true, but you'll need to enable cheats in your world first.

Yes, you can use the /kill command starting from version 0.16, released in 2016. To do this, type "/kill @s" without quotes to kill yourself, or "/kill [player's name]" to kill another player, also without quotes.

If it was on creative mode and on Bedrock then it shouldn't work, but survival they may have an invincibility mode on.

Your skin in Minecraft is not deleted when you die. It remains unchanged unless you manually remove or change it.

If another player kills you in Minecraft, they will likely take your items unless the "keep inventory" setting is enabled. You can ask them to return your items or offer a trade, such as diamonds, to get them back.

Yes, you can type /kill @s or /kill @p if you are in single-player mode. Make sure that cheats are enabled to use these commands.

Yes, you can die in Creative mode if you fall out of the world, unless you have a Notch apple, also known as a god apple.

Make sure you have prepared better gear than them, sneak up on them and then kill them. Always make quick work of it before they know what is going on. If you are a bad pvper (Player V.S. Player) then you can always just make a TNT trap.

No, dying multiple times in Minecraft does not delete your entire progress.
