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, they are passive mobs. They won't attack you if you hit them, unlike wolves. They will run away from the player unless tamed or asleep, somewhat like ocelots.

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

Yes, if you climb a tall enough tree, you can take fall damage and eventually die. Falling from normal oak trees can sometime result in about a heart of damage, while falling off a Jungle tree (the tallest in-game) could insta-kill you. Alternatively, if you stand on a sapling and use bonemeal on it, you could end up stuck inside the tree and die from suffocation.

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, though the only potion that can outright kill you is the Potion of Harming if you drink it or get splashed with it. Potions of poison come close to killing you, but will leave you with half a heart, essentially making it easy for something else to kill you.

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. The methods shown will work for 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.

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.

The fastest way to kill your player is the /kill command. It will kill your character instantly.

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

Yes, you can as of version 0.16 released in 2016. To do this, you would type the following: "/kill @s" with no quotes. Or, if you want to kill another player, you could type this: "/kill [insert name here]" with, again, no quotes.

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

Skins are your appearance in game, so it doesn't get deleted. It would only get deleted if you took it off yourself.

If someone else kills you, they will most likely take your stuff unless keep inventory is on. At that point, ask them for your stuff back or offer to give them something, such as diamonds.

Yes. You can type /kill @s or /kill @p if your in single player mode. Remember you need to have cheats on to use commands.

Yep. If you fall out of the world then you can kill yourself, unless you have a gapple. (Fancy term for god apple, or notch 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.
