Depends on how hard performing tasks are. Can I punch trees to get wood, it doesn’t hurt like hell and doesn’t 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 I’d be ok after getting over the initial shock of “WTF?”

If we’re talking real world physics, then I’m 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.

Well you were just suddenly teleported into the world, so I guess the question is, do you want to find out?

Well, you’d just go into the menu and turn it off at that point.

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.”

yeah, but I could watch villagers and other enslaved mobs suffer for that time.

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.

I’m 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
