You’re able to abandon animals you’ve tamed. Common ways are making them sit & then leaving, or becoming separated by a large distance — usually from teleporting away or dying far from your respawn point while they’re with you.
This is avoidable, but is a pretty common mistake. You can go back and get them but that depends on being able to find your way back.
All animals are able to die and sometimes killing them provides food. However, there are ways of avoiding killing the animals:
1. Play on creative mode: in this mode, you won't get hungry and you have everything you need.
2. Don't eat meat. This is kind of hard, but not impossible: some plants are grown, and apples and potatoes are relatively easy to find.
3. Don't sleep. You need wool to make a bed, but you don't need to sleep in Minecraft, so you can just not sleep.
4. Shear a sheep instead of killing it.
5. Kill spiders instead of sheep to get wool. Spider silk can be made into wool, and the spiders are bad guys so you don't need to feel bad about killing them.
Rabbits can be attacked by players or killed by certain mobs, and parts from rabbits are needed to obtain a few useful items (Jump Boost potions and Bundles).
One optional way of "winning" is by slaying a dragon called the Ender Dragon, however, she's evil and quite dangerous, so you don't need to feel guilty.
It is extremely easy to accidentally bury oneself while mining, if you aren't careful. Practice safe mining and never dig straight up and you should be fine.
If the player remains underwater for too long, has sand or gravel fall on them, or glitches in such a way that they are inside a solid block, they will start to suffocate.
If the player falls from a height of 4 blocks or higher, there is a noise of a crack as the olayer takes damage. The sound could just be hitting the ground but could be triggering to some with a sensitivity to bones breaking.
There is no hanging in Minecraft. The closest thing to it would be attaching lead to an entity and having it hang off of a fence but this does not harm them.
Creepers walk behind the player and explode. Endermen will teleport unexpectedly and the Elder Guardian will cause a phantom image to appear in front of the player.
theres a honeycomb item and honeycomb block. the holes arent very detailed or small so it will most likely not be a bother unless you focus on it. though the buttons on command blocks could be triggering, but command blocks have to be specifically summoned and arent seen naturally in game or even in the creative mode block menu. i cant think of any other instances of this.
Phantoms and Ghasts, both ghost-like beings, are in the game as enemies. You can avoid Phantoms by sleeping regularly (they'll only attack you if you haven't slept in at least 3 game days), and Ghasts from avoiding going to the Nether. You can also avoid both of them by playing in Creative mode, where they won't attack you.
Some mobs will hunt and kill other mobs, presumably for food (wolves hunt rabbits, ocelots hunt chickens, etc). The player can also eat meat from mobs, including the flesh of apparently once-human zombies (though it will make you sick, so it’s a last-ditch effort).
There's a poisoning effect called "Nausea". Despite its name, however, it only causes the screen to wobble and doesn't actually cause the player to vomit.
Someone might make a map starring 9/11 stuff, or a recreation of New York City might have the World Trade Center, but no 9/11 stuff that isn’t player made.
You can destroy ancient buildings and monuments, and you may have to in some situations (though you can always rebuild them). A few artifact items exist, such as the Heart of the Sea and the Totem of Undying, but you don't need to destroy these and it's unlikely that you will.
Honestly only with consideration to the End Poem, which plays just before the credits. It addresses both the world of the game and the world of the player with dubiously dreamlike descriptions among other things.
The end itself is also intentionally disorienting, containing large expanses of void and distorted renditions of earlier background music. You may want to tread carefully with this part of the game.
A sound is made while eating but it doesn’t last very long and doesn’t sound remotely like real chewing. Also I think it can be toggled somewhere in settings but don’t quote me on that.
Of course not. Unless you can count when mobs can spin around in circles. I actually ended up telling a spinning pig he was OK on cam and sending in to my friend lol
There are baby animals, but they just look like smaller versions of the adult animals. Villager children also exist, though they look more like children than babies. There are no fetuses in the game.
As with a lot of these categories, not unless you’re on multiplayer. It’s unlikely but there is a chance someone might say something nasty or wear an unflattering skin.
With Minecraft characters, everyone can breed with a member of the same species, so they can't really have sexual orientations. The only exception is the Ender Dragon, who's definitely female, and she can die but she's not stated to be LGBT.
Minecraft doesn’t have any story about the player besides that they appear. You choose how your character wants to act. No other humans in the games. Villagers are not humans according to mojang.
Not explicitly, but as noted above, villagers can be interpreted as antisemitic caricatures, and the creator is notorious for harboring just about every form of bigotry under the sun; steer clear of Notch's Twitter account.
If you are playing Minecraft online, then other players may use n-words in the in-game chat. However, this can be avoided by only playing offline, or with people you trust.
If you are playing Minecraft online, then other players may use homophobic slurs in the in-game chat. However, this can be avoided by only playing offline, or with people you trust.
No nudity in the game itself, but there's a chance that users in multiplayer may use skins that resemble a naked person. (Unlikely to be realistic considering the pixellated nature of the game, though.)
Cars don't even exist in the game without mods. The closest thing to cars is minecarts, which can technically crash into each other, but it doesn't cause any damage.
