Minecraft can be quite frustrating. In this situation, most of us would probably just throw our controller against the wall…
Although Minecraft is largely a pretty relaxed game, there can still be smaller or bigger frustrating moments. Creepers are often involved, even though they can occasionally be your friends. However, if a Creeper has been particularly nasty, you might throw your gamepad in anger, as a video beautifully shows.
What is shown? The player kaleb_hoyer uploaded a small video on the Minecraft subreddit. There you can see him playing. He has dug a shaft and has come across a cave – this has probably happened to most of us.
Cheerfully, he draws his sword and faces the enemies in the cave, mainly skeleton archers. While fending off the attacks and trying not to look at the Enderman, he hears the ominous hissing of a Creeper.
I don’t think I’ve ever thrown my controller that hard from r/Minecraft
Although kaleb_hoyer actually has a solid distance from the Creeper, it does not stop hissing – it stands directly on the 4 diamond blocks and explodes. All diamonds are destroyed in the process.
About a second later, a message appears on the screen that the controller has lost connection to the game. Apparently, the player threw it away in anger (at least it wasn’t made of potatoes).
Why is that so frustrating? Diamonds are among the most valuable materials in Minecraft and are quite rare. They can only be found deep in the earth, and it can take hours to randomly find some. That a Creeper, with its low explosive power, stands exactly on the diamonds, detonates there, and destroys all the diamonds is just incredibly bad luck. One might throw their gamepad out of frustration (and only gently) against a soft surface. If you need tips for diamond farming, you can find them here.
Has something like that ever happened to you? Has a moment in Minecraft frustrated you so much that you couldn’t help but throw your gamepad (or alternatively hit the keyboard)?
