Depends on how hard performing tasks are. Can I punch trees to get wood, it doesnβt hurt like hell and doesnβt break my fists? Can I dig through the earth quickly with just my bare hands? Can I construct a dwelling relatively easily? If yes, then I think Iβd be ok after getting over the initial shock of βWTF?β
If weβre talking real world physics, then Iβm probably dead the first night.
I've never died in real life, but I've died in Minecraft many times, so it's gonna have to be more scared.
Depends on difficulty settings. As long as it isn't hardcore mode, less scared as I can just respawn when I die.
Careful, immortality is no laughing matter.
People don't grasp immortality and infinite time.
"High in the North in a land called Svithjod there is a mountain. It is a hundred miles long and a hundred miles high and once every thousand years a little bird comes to this mountain to sharpen its beak. When the mountain has thus been worn away a single day of eternity will have passed."
Hendrik Willem Van Loon, The Story of Mankind
yeah, but I could watch villagers and other enslaved mobs suffer for that time.
Man that's one old bird
As someone who has never played Minecraft, I'd be terrified. It's really easy to die when you are not familiar with the rules of the game.

Luckily they didn't say Hardcore mode, so you can just respawn.
Iβm digging a tiny hole and staying inside forever with occasional peeks outside to see if it day or night. Tell my wife I miss her
Wow, my real life is just like the simulations.
Tsssssssssssssssssssss...
You donβt have to theorize this, you can play Minecraft in VR and experience it.
Itβs fucking terrifying. A creeper blew me up and I almost had a heart attack.
This happens to be the plot of the book series, The Accidental Minecraft Family
Missed an opportunity to title it The Minecraft Family Robinson.
In the real world I very rarely jump down multiple meter drops, am seldom asked to fight zombies or skeletons, and have a lot of supporting infrastructure that ensures that I am fed regularly. Minecraft has such a lot of ways to die.
Tsssssssh.
That depends, do my physical characteristics stay the same?
No, you can move Minecraft blocks. But only one at a time, unless its something really light like wool
Wait, so in this scenario we're less like Steve and more like the Endermen?
More like a human, that has the ability to move Minecraft blocks.
Then I have more faith in being able to survive.
Here's the thing that makes Minecraft's world so much more dangerous: we have life-threatening creatures in the real world too, but they are living creatures bound to the laws of ecology; if you build a city without large herbivores, you can be sure that this city won't have tigers in it, because they need those to live. A tiger would need to physically walk from the forest to the city, with ample opportunity of getting spotted. Hell, killing the last tiger is a safe way to never have to worry about them again, since they need to reproduce sexually, and if there are no tigers left in an area then no new ones will appear out of nowhere.
Minecraft creatures, meanwhile, do appear out of nowhere. It doesn't matter if you've depleted the world of every last zombie, new ones can spawn absolutely anywhere, even within the safest possible area, all it takes is a small corner of mild darkness. Or does it? Because i've had random mobs spawn in extremely well-lit built environments where i was convinced they couldn't.
Minecraft's creatures cannot be definitively excluded from an area, nowhere is really safe beyond doubt even if the place is built entirely out of light-emitting blocks.
Then again, people do live in areas with venomous snakes and scorpions, those have a similar "potentially anywhere" threat as Minecraft mobs, yet people seem fine. They don't live in fear all the time. Then again again, snakes and scorpions are passive and only attack if you make physical contact with them, whereas Minecraft mobs actively look for you.
So yeah, nowhere is truly safe in Minecraft, there's genuinely always a possibility that you'll need to defend yourself from some horror.
Idk, you just need to put a few layers of carpets in front of your door and mobs won't even try to enter your building. You just need to know the quirks of Minecraft logic
I wouldn't be scared of death in Minecraft, idk
That's just what i'm saying: they shouldn't spawn inside the building, but every now and then they do anyway.
I don't have that issue
If I could move my guy with the same precision as on the computer then probably not worried about dying. I would be worried about getting bored. MC Vanilla has nothing that interests me.
The same amount. Death comes for us all; it's what we do while we're alive that's important.
Depends on what mods are installed. :P
Depends if it's night or day.
Do I teleport in during the day above ground? Then I'm definitely going to fall to my death.
You teleport onto the surface. I'm unsure why you would fall.
I'll find a way.
Initially a lot more, because of the shock and the will to ba back to my world, among humans, living the life I've been living my whole life. I wouldn't want to die alone in what looks like an unexplainable minecraft world.
I may, eventually, reason that for such a thing to happen bigger forces must be at play, so I may just willingly try some form of suicide out of curiosity, so in such a state I would be a lot less scared.
