Getting hit by a Blaze, causing you to fall in the void and get this death message: “ didn’t want to live in the same world as Blaze”

Player was doomed to fall by Dolphin

Creeper in your mud hut doorway

Creeper or lava

Creepers

On some of my old beloved worlds I’m deep in a cave in the dark trying to find the loot I just dropped and I’m down a hole with nowhere to go and nothing to dig or build with. No way to die. So I just start a new world. The thumbnail of my save still shows me in a dark hole.

Building a new house, leaving the computer to grab a bag of chips, coming back to find out you and your house are blown up by a creeper

It is very easy die to lava,fall damage,die to mobs,drowning,suffocating

“Steve was blown up by creeper”

I don’t think this qualifies for most iconic, but has anybody else jumped off a high place and forgot they weren’t wearing their elytra?

Creeper…

So unexpected at times.

One that got me real good was mining sand and I fell so 50 block to my death when the sand caved in revealing a large hole

Falling in lava but dying from fall damage, thinking that having fire resistance was a failsafe

You walk into your house and it just explodes.
