History Heartwarming / Minecraft

* Endermen can be scary even though they’re neutral until stared at, but the fact they pick up flowers and mushrooms is adorable. It’s like they want to plant flowers somewhere or make soup with the mushrooms. Or they just like holding nice things. It’s also cute how they put blocks everywhere. It can be nice to see random blocks and know they were around just having fun. They’re neutral (sometimes not) but are still close to the friendliest beings you can meet considering most every other Mob attacks on sight.

* A wandering trader's llamas will fight to protect them, no matter how weak they are. Even the player's llamas don't do this! Clearly, the wandering trader must treat these llamas wonderfully.

* After the [[TearJerker passing of influential Youtuber]] LetsPlay/{{Technoblade}}, a special main menu splash was made in tribute consisting of his CatchPhrase "Technoblade Never Dies!", which has since become somewhat of a rallying cry for fans to show support for him.

Furthermore, him playing the game to the point of heightening his senses involving sound cues allowing him to avoid Creeper attacks, Skeleton arrows, and Zombie hoards, allowed him to adapt to other dangers out in [=IRL=] and retreat to the safety of the medium. In his own words: "''Minecraft'' saved my life."

* When Mojang released a video announcing that Caves & Cliffs update [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6YgKUZnUyak will be split into two]], there was no fan backlash. The entire Minecraft community fully understood the reasons why they would split the update, and there was no vitriol directed at the developers.

!!In Game:
* After you [[spoiler:kill the Enderdragon,]] you are treated to a conversation between two strange beings, [[spoiler:who appear to be the true architects and creators of Minecraft.]] What they say, and what they say to you, is strangely heartwarming.
** The final few lines also [[spoiler:pull a NoEnding, call back to reality and challenges the player to do better in [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome spectacular style]]]]
--->[[spoiler:...And the game was over [[AllJustADream and the player woke up from the dream.]] And the player began a new dream. [[NoEnding And the player dreamed again, dreamed better.]] And the player was the universe. And the player was love.]]

--->[[spoiler:and the universe said I love you because you are love]]

* It's possible to take the time and resources to turn what used to be an abandoned village and into a thriving one if you cure, find and protect your villagers (curing zombified villagers will help them regain their regular forms). Adding working environments (i.e: smithing tables, bookshelves, etc.) seals the deal even further!

** Even better, you can cure Zombie Villagers, even the randomly spawned ones. They probably faced AFateWorseThanDeath, and then you stepped in and helped them recover. To brew potions it's necessary to go to the Nether for supplies, so players literally go to hell and back to help zombiefied villagers.

* Foxes can curl into a ball in order to sleep. It's as adorable as it sounds.

* Seeing baby Hoglins and Piglins playing with each other is a very cute sight to see in the otherwise demented dimension known as the Nether.

* When the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6YgKUZnUyak Caves & Cliffs Announcement]] was released, there was no fan backlash. The community fully understood why they would split the update, and there was no vitriol directed at the developers.

* [[http://youtu.be/-cC6PVT1AGM This video of a shout out to]] ''Film/{{Babe}}''.
* [[http://youtu.be/UiiS-TSuE1M This parody]] of MKTO's "Thank You". It's basically [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin a big giant thank you]] to the developers of the game and all of the ''Minecraft'' community. [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome Everyone who is part of the]] ''[[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome Minecraft]]'' [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome community has contributed to making the game what it has become today]]! It has [[ShoutOut shout outs]] to both the famous community members (such as LetsPlay/SeaNanners, LetsPlay/LewisBrindley and LetsPlay/SimonLane of the [[LetsPlay/{{Yogscast}} Yogs]][[Machinima/YogscastMinecraftSeries cast]], LetsPlay/CaptainSparklez, [[Creator/AchievementHunter Achievement]] [[LetsPlay/AchievementHunterMinecraftSeries Hunter]] and countless others) and the small community members -- this is what we, as a community, have managed to do.
* [[http://youtu.be/3M67SRQIS88 Never Let You Go]], which is a sequel to the famous TearJerker [[http://youtu.be/nJ5Anel-AgE Never Say Goodbye]]. If you haven't seen the first video, it details the story of Steve and his lover, who are attacked by zombies. Steve fails to save his girl from being captured by the zombies. When he sees her again later, he is horrified to learn that she has been turned into a zombie. It was strongly implied that he was ''[[ShootTheDog forced to shoot her]]'', and when he returns home, it is also hinted that he is turning into a zombie himself. ''However'', the sequel changes all of that by revealing that he '''never really shot her''' and that the character turning into a zombie was [[AllJustADream merely a bad dream]]. Steve vows to restore his lover back to normal by brewing a potion that reverses the zombification process. After making it, he searches ''the entire world'' looking for her. He fights off the zombies ''single-handedly'' and restores her to normal. The couple [[EarnYourHappyEnding finally receive their happy ending, after a lot of emotional turmoil]].
* [[http://youtu.be/pcyx_jSjmuU This video, "Griefing is Bad".]] Most of the video is downright TearJerker (particularly the [[spoiler:[[DrivenToSuicide suicides]] of the two main characters]]). But the very last shot, the shot of a group of villagers mourning at the gravestones, reminds the audience that ''they were somebodies, and they will be missed by someone''.
