''50 Ways to Die in Minecraft'' is a series of ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' parody videos created by [=YouTube=] user [[https://www.youtube.com/user/jayRiott Jake Eyes]]/[=jayRiott=]. [[note]]At least, that's what this page is about. There are other videos like this series.[[/note]] As the title suggests, each video contains a list of 50 different ways one can die in Minecraft, from the more realistic to the [[RuleOfFunny comically absurd]].
A list of all the videos in the series can be found below. Or, if you want to get it all over in one sitting, a compilation of videos 1-10 (plus the Christmas and fairy tale ones) can be found [[https://youtu.be/Z8mFUtcHJa0 here.]]

!!Ready, sego!
* ABoyAndHisX: Death 31 in part 4 sees a wannabe thief fall victim to a girl and her wolf pack.
* AchievementsInIgnorance: Stu occasionally manages these, like the time he somehow managed to fill his ''entire inventory'' with Totems of Undying. Or the time he pressed the pi button on his Game Boy Color version of ''Minecraft'', despite the GBC not having said button and said platform not supporting the game.
* AIIsACrapshoot: Death 32 in part 2 is "Building a Self Aware Redstone Device". When Redstone Ned activates it, he [[AMoltenDateWithDeath gets dropped into lava]].
* {{Anvilicious}}:
** Parodied InUniverse; death 43 in part 6 is an anvil in favor of net neutrality, and the death right after it is the viewer getting a literal anvil (with "NET NEUTRALITY IS GOOD!!!" written on it) dropped on their heads.
** Played straight in the Halloween Edition with death 38, which is "[[DrivenToSuicide Realizing that you've probably supported slave labor every time you ate chocolate in your whole life]]"… then parodied in death 40, which has [=JayRiott=] getting assassinated by an M&M with a sniper rifle (labeled as "Pointing out on your somewhat popular [=YouTube=] channel that Mars's chocolate is probably made with slave labor").
* AnimalAssassin: Parodied; Death 5 in part 7 is titled "Passive aggressively murderous chickens," when a chicken walks along a cliff and pushes someone off.
* AnvilOnHead: A very common form of death in the series.
* AuthorAvatar: Jake Eyes is represented in the series by [=jayRiott=], an avatar with a six-sided die for a head and a domino for a body.
* AwesomeButImpractical:
** While giving an object an enchantment within the range of 127 to 255 sounds awesome in concept, it usually leads to the wearer/user dying [[GoneHorriblyRight due to the overperformance of said equipment]].
** Death 22 in part 4 happens when Redstone Ned shows off his awesome [[SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud T-N-T CAN-NON]]… then realizes that it can only shoot in one direction, leaving him at the mercy of the Creepers.
* BadBoss:
** Death 10 in part 1 happens to a boss who underpaid the people who made his minecart track; in retaliation, [[AMoltenDateWithDeath they re-routed said track into a lava pit]].
** Death 19 in part 1 sees someone get dropped into a pit by their boss for failing to meet quarterly objectives.
** Death 18 in part 9 happens when a boss refuses to provide sick leave for his employees, leading to a SneezeOfDoom in [[StuffBlowingUp a TNT warehouse]].
** Death 46 in part 9 is another "underpaying your employees" joke, this time to a guy who wanted a mob grinder.
** Death 47 in the Christmas edition happens when the elves have enough of working nonstop at minimum wage without breaks for 17 centuries. Thanks, [[AdaptationalJerkass Santa Claus]].
* BaitAndSwitch: Too many deaths rely on this to count.
* BalefulPolymorph:
** Death 4 in the first part happens when a witch accidentally turns into a sheep, getting them mauled by a hungry wolf.
** Death 37 in part 6 happens when a wizard wearing an Aqua Affinity 255 helm turns into a fish and gets fed to a cat.
** Death 6 in part 9 happens when the victim drinks a Turtle Master 187 potion, turns into a baby turtle, and gets eaten by Drowned.
** Death 11 in part 10 happens when the victim puts on Thorns 255 armor, turning into a cactus as a result.
** Death 31 in part 10 occurs when someone puts on a chestplate with Blast Protection 145 and turns into obsidian as a result.
* BitingTheHandHumor: Some of the deaths involve jabs at [=YouTube=] and their lack of transparency in explaining and enforcing guidelines.
* BlobMonster: Deaths 6 and 42 in part 2 are caused by a slime and magma cube attack, respectively. Both deaths are titled "Night of the Living Boogers", with the latter subtitled "Wrath of Satan's Nostrils".
* BoltOfDivineRetribution: The victim in death 41, part 1 gets hit with this in response to spelling "NOTCH [[RougeAnglesOfSatin SUX]]" with blocks.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: At one point, the Gingerbread Man wonders how much his schtick is going to be milked.
* ButtMonkey: Redstone Ned has a habit of dying, often due to [[TemptingFate pointing out]] something is impossible in ''Minecraft'' [[RunningGag only for it to become real to kill him]], his attempts to evade death tend to blow up in his face, and his attempts to trick Stu often fail due to Stu being TooDumbToFool.
* CantYouReadTheSign: Both played straight and parodied; death 22 in part one happens when someone fails to heed the "Beware of Dogs" sign, and the very next death happens to someone who actually ''does'' stop to read the sign ("Readers will be shot").
* CheatersNeverProsper: Not only does the victim of death 25 in part 5 get banned from the server for cheating, but it's also pointed out that [[AllForNothing the glitch he was trying to exploit doesn't work anymore]].
* ChestMonster:
** Death 24 in part 5 happens when someone mistakes a Shulker for a Shulker Box.
** Death 40 in the Christmas edition also occurs due to this, with a Shulker disguised as a present box.
* ChristmasEpisode: "50 Ways to Die in Minecraft: Christmas Edition".
* ContinuityNod: Some deaths are continuations of previous deaths.
* DeadlyPrank: Death 22 in the fairy tale edition happens when someone tries to scare Ichabod by dressing as the Headless Horseman, only to get shot. [[Film/SleepyHollow1999 Ichabod has encountered the Headless Horseman before.]] [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome Of course it would end badly.]]
* DeathFromAbove: Be it anvil, gravel, train, airship, or something else, expect at least one of these per video.
* DieLaughing: One character always seems to suffer this — an entirely blue avatar with a LOL emoji for a face.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Some death are cause by this.
* DreadfulMusician: If death 19 in part 3 is anything to go by, [=jayRiott=] is apparently this in-universe.
* DrivenToSuicide: Jake Eyes does this for death 8 in part 3 after he listens to what he sounded like when he was younger.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The first part had less dialogue than in the other parts, the deaths were more closely related to Minecraft itself, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and Brandon (the guy who keeps getting missiles sent to his house) has his house blown up by TNT instead of a missile.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: The Giant in the Fairy Tale Edition refuse to attack American because due to Americans having too much trans fat. [=Norman298=] was lucky enough to survive this.
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: The name of the character that constantly suffers Elytra-related deaths is… [=ThatGuyWithTheElytra=].
* ExactWords:
** Death 7 in part 8 happens when a child reads a "must be accompanied by a parent or guardian" sign and decides she should bring [[SeaMonster a Guardian]], which then kills the ticket vendor.
** Death 17 in Fairy Tale Edition: When asked "Who's the fairest of them all?", the Magic Mirror responds by citing a judge. This angers the vain queen who asked the question, so she throws a brick at the mirror, resulting in "Death by being a Reflective [[GoshDangItToHeck Smartaxe]]".
* FlameWar:
** An unlucky sap triggers one in death 39 in part 3, leading to him dying by way of getting caught in the ([[ArrowsOnFire literal]]) crossfire.
** It happens again for death 44 of the Christmas edition, once again complete with flaming arrows.
* FracturedFairyTale: The entire point of the fairy tale edition.
* FunWithSubtitles: In the last death in part 2, the subtitles are used to translate the scientists' TechnoBabble into LaymansTerms.
* GaleForceSound: What causes death 10 in part 8 — Redstone Ned powers too many note blocks at once.
* GoneHorriblyRight:
** For death 12 of the Christmas episode, Redstone Ned remembers how he previously got crushed by a present from Santa, so he decides to be as naughty as possible in order to avoid that fate this year. He succeeds… [[LaserGuidedKarma and gets crushed by coal.]]
** When "X 127 - 255" equipment isn't inflicting a BalefulPolymorph on the wearer, it's probably doing this.
* GravityIsAHarshMistress: A lot of the deaths in the series involve falling from a great height.
* {{Greed}}: The title given to death 4 in part 2[[note]]which could be more accurately described as "SchmuckBait"[[/note]], and the cause of a lot of other deaths in the series.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Often, the characters will be done in by their own actions.
* InstantlyProvenWrong: The RunningGag of someone saying "There is no X in Minecraft!", followed by them getting killed by that exact thing.
* InsufferableGenius: Redstone Ned's defining trait, which gets him killed multiple times.
* JerkassGenie: Played straight and averted in the fairytale edition; death 12 sees the genie use ExactWords to not grant the wisher immortality. However, in death 20, he tries to warn Redstone Ned against doing something stupid, and in his third appearance, he's merely exasperated by Stu.
* JumpScare: Death 49 in part 3 is originally presented as literally being bored to death. Then [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys3 Springtrap]] rears his ugly head, and [[BaitAndSwitch it's switched]] to "[[SensoryAbuse Wearing Headphones]]".
* KarmaHoudini: Subverted with Santa Claus in the Christmas edition. He runs over a grandma in death 35, only for said grandma to kill him with a rocket launcher in death 50.
* KillItWithFire: Fire plays a part in a lot of deaths, whether directly or indirectly.
* LaserGuidedKarma: Some death and prank can bite the causers big time. [=SnakeTheJaik=] and Feed Me learn this the hard way.
* LastSecondWordSwap: The Gingerbread Man like to do this in every of his tempting of fate.
--> '''Gingerbread Man''': Run, run, run, as fast as you can! You can't catch me, I'm-\\
''(Get shot by a stray.)''\\
'''Gingerbread Man''': [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Screwed.]]
* LavaPit: A number of characters meet their end by falling into one of these. Death 11 in part 2 has [=JayRiott=] get pushed into one for throwing too many actors into lava.
* LowClearance: The cause of death 5 in part 1.
* MamaBear: Death 33 in part 3 is "Standing Between a Wild Polar Bear and Her Cub".
* MissingMom: Death 36 in the fairy tale edition happens when Aladdin's mother discovers that her son is about to get a Disney movie about him, necessitating this trope.
--> ''Aladdin's Mom was Slain for Plot Convenience''
* NotInFrontOfTheParrot: Two deaths in part 4 are caused this way; the first affecting an unfortunate pirate who happened to be complaining about the captain in front of his PirateParrot, and the second is affecting the parrot itself (which just flies away, so it doesn't actually count as a death).
* NukeEm:
** The last death in part 2. Apparently, trying to split a bedrock block with a massive laser results in a massive explosion.
** Death 49 in part 9 happens when a pirate mistakes a map to a nuclear warhead testing facility for a treasure map.
* OverlyLongGag: Deaths 16 through 20 in part 6 are about assuming you're the only sniper in the area. The snipers then return for death 41, "Not Beating the System".
* OwMyBodyPart: Death 15 in the Halloween Edition is "Hearing a Blood Curdling Scream", prompting the victim to exclaim "Ow, my blood!" before collapsing.
* {{Pride}}: There are a number of instances where a character shows pride in their accomplishments/possessions before meeting their untimely demise, often in the process of trying (and failing) to back up some boasting.
* RainOfArrows: Sometimes characters will get killed by these, with the circumstances behind them changing.
* RasputinianDeath: Death 48 in part 5 is this — it has so many deadly things coming at the victim that [[EvenTheSubtitlerIsStumped the death title cards have no clue what actually killed them]].
* RougeAnglesOfSatin:
** The ones who wrote the signs that read "Notch Sucks" and "Herobrine Sucks" in Part 1 apparently can't seem to tell that just because there is an "/x/" sound doesn't mean that it's always an "X" there.
** One death has someone get slain by misspelling the word "type", which leads to a TotalPartyKill.
* RubeGoldbergHatesYourGuts: Subverted; death 15 in part 3 ''tries'' to do this, but the anvil is a block off from hitting the victim. Instead, they get blown up by a Creeper seconds after.
* RunningGag:
** [[TemptingFate "There's no X in Minecraft!"]]
** Death by "The First X" (read: getting {{Zerg Rush}}ed by Zombies and/or Creepers).
** Variants of "Getting Shot by a Ghast Fireball".
** Sub-optimal designs (usually involving [[MadeOfExplodium building things out of TNT]] and/or magma).
** Inappropriate things growing on chorus plants.
** The Gingerbread Man and his constant [[TemptingFate tempting of fate]].
** The smug and overconfident guy who jumps off cliffs, assuming that something or other will spare him from the resulting FallDamage… it never does.
** The highly unlucky fisherman.
** [[StuffBlowingUp The TNT Warehouse.]]
** Ye Olde Pre-1.9 Boat Physics.
** Characters venturing into [[UsefulNotes/YanksWithTanks US airspace]] and getting blown up.
** Part 9 has adding "Over a Sand-Covered Ravine" to the end of any sentence.
** The fairy tale edition has Penny Henny's quest to warn the king that the sky is falling and Sinbad's [[EpicFail chronically bad luck]] when it comes to sailing.

** Brandon getting his house blown up by missles.

** Death 17 in part 4 happens after two consecutive Nintendo references, leading to a copyright strike by the company.
** Deaths 38 and 48 in part 6 occur when someone tries to [[PlagiarismInFiction reupload a video and claim it as their own]].

** Death 20 in part 1 is "Joining the [[Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus Flying Circus]]" (aka [[GiantFootOfStomping getting crushed by a giant foot]]).
*** Death 31 in part 2 sees the victim die at the hands of [[Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail the Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog]].
** Death 25 in part 1 is titled "The Spice Must Flow", with the character getting eaten by [[Franchise/{{Dune}} a sand worm]].

** Death 13 in part 2 happens when an avatar dubbed [[Film/TheMatrix "Neo001"]] figures out that he's in a computer game.
** Death 21 in part 2 happens after the player kills too many monsters, at which point [[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} Sans]] comes in and kills them. He reappears 19 deaths later to kill Stu for trying to spoil his game.
** Death 33 in part 2 sees the victim getting eaten by VideoGame/PacMan.
** In death 36 in part 2, [=SnakeTheJaik=] gets killed by [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Legolas]].
** Death 3 in part 3 is caused by a tornado and dubbed [[Film/TheWizardOfOz "Living in Kansas"]].
** Death 18 in part 3 is "Ignoring [[Music/{{TLC}} TLC's]] Advice" (don't go chasing waterfalls). Also, the victim is WesternAnimation/BugsBunny.

** Death 12 in part 7 is "Visiting [[WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends the Island of Sodor]]" and subsequently getting crushed by one of the trains flying off the rails.
** Death 45 in part 8 — accidentally dropping yourself and some lit TNT into a mob pit — is labeled "Reenacting [[RidingTheBomb Your Favorite Scene]] from ''Film/DrStrangelove''".
** Death 11 in part 9 is basically a reenactment of Voldemort's resurrection from ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheGobletOfFire''.
** Death 8 in the Christmas edition is [[Film/TheSantaClause "Delivering Presents to Tim Allen's House"]].
** Death 17 in the Christmas edition is "Burgling [[Film/HomeAlone Kevin McCallister]]".
** Death 35 in the Christmas edition is "Giving Birth to Offspring That, in Turn, Creates its Own Offspring"… in other words, [[WesternAnimation/GrandmaGotRunOverByAReindeer being a grandma]]. [[spoiler:Said grandma returns for death 50, in which she kills Santa Claus with a rocket launcher as revenge.]]
** In the fairy tale edition, one member of Penny Henny's posse is [[Music/TheBeatles "Flamingo Ringo"]].
** Death 22 in the fairy tale edition happens when someone tries to scare Ichabod by dressing as the [[Film/SleepyHollow1999 Headless Horseman,]] only to get shot. [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome Dressing up as a monster the person you're trying to scare has had bad encounters with is not a good idea.]]
** Part 14 has a few VideoGame/AceCombat references.
* SoreLoser:
** Death 40 in part 10 happens when the victim beats a server admin at Spleef and gets banned as a result.
** Brandon is easily enraged when he's struggling at video games. It gets even worse if you [[KickTheDog mock him during this period.]] [=NonStJon=] learn this the hard way.
* StuffBlowingUp: Be it Creepers, TNT, or just random objects, expect multiple explosions to happen in each video.
* SuperGullible: The final way to die in part 4 is "Gullibility", demonstrated by Stu trading away ''all of his Totems of Undying'' for a single cookie.
* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome:
** If your warehouse is destroyed multiple times through sheer idiocy, there's a ''very'' low chance that you'll be able to get insurance on it.
** Death 43 in part 5 is caused because a bunch of wooden fence poles are incapable of holding up a thick slab of concrete.
** Death 2 in part 8 shows why you shouldn't be drinking milk straight from the cow without pasteurizing it first.
** Death 22 in the Christmas edition shows that traveling at the speed needed to deliver 10 billion presents in one night would kill you.
** Death 47 in the Christmas edition shows that forcing your employees to work nonstop at minimum wage without ''any'' breaks or benefits will eventually lead to the employees revolting.
** Death 50 in the Christmas edition. It's highly unlikely that you would be able to get away with running over someone with absolutely no consequences. Santa Claus learns this the hard way when the grandma from death 35 kills him for running her over.
** The Fairy Tale edition ''loves'' this trope:
*** Death 4: The witch's gingerbread house attracts [[BearsAreBadNews bears]] as well as children.
*** Death 11: Said gingerbread house collapses in the rain.
*** Death 13: The smallest billy goat gruff tries to keep the bridge troll from eating him by claiming his bigger brother will be coming the troll's way. The troll points out that [[TakeAThirdOption he can just eat both of them]].
*** Death 14: The protagonist of ''The Tinder Box'' tries to [[OneLastSmoke create a scenario]] before his execution where he can use said tinder box. Instead, the executioner lights his pipe for him.
*** Deaths 18, 19, & [[BrickJoke 25]]: By destroying all the spinning wheels in the kingdom, the king from ''Sleeping Beauty'' has deprived the tailors of their income and ''everyone'' of some sorely-needed clothes come winter. When the Big Bad Wolf shows up in the village, he is promptly mobbed by the whole half-frozen population and stripped of his warm fur.
*** Death 22: Dressing up as some scary monster and accosting someone who has had bad encounters with said monster will get you hurt or shot via PTSD-induced panic.
*** Death 23: Rumpelstiltskin tries to waltz in and take the first son of the girl he helped, only for her guards to kill him on the spot.
*** Death 28: When asked who's the most beautiful of them all, the Magic Mirror [[LogicBomb breaks]] because the term is completely subjective.
*** Death 29: The protagonist of ''The Tinder Box'' discovers that his girlfriend [[UnstoppableRage is not exactly thrilled]] that he killed her parents.
*** Death 30: Cinderella's glass slippers break when she jumps on them too hard, getting her killed when the wound becomes infected.
*** Deaths 37 through 41: The fairy puts everyone in the kingdom to sleep at the same time as Sleeping Beauty, causing a ''lot'' of accidental deaths as a result.
*** Death 48: The wolf averts WhyDontYaJustShootHim with a vengeance, eating Little Red Riding Hood the moment he sees her.
* TakeThat:
** Death 13 in part 1 happens when Redstone Ned watches the Franchise/StarWars holiday special. It happens again in the Christmas edition, though it was quickly undone because it already happened in part 1.
** Death 24 in part 3 is "Working for [[Creator/ElectronicArts EA Games]]", where a worker dies of overexertion after being forced to work day and night without sleep.
** Death 34 in part 3 is "Standing Between a Wild Creator/{{Activision}} and a Nickel", where a businessman, making a very animalistic growling noise, slaughters someone [[{{Greed}} for the reason stated above]].
** Death 9 in part 4 is caused by [=YouTube=] [[InternetJerk hate comments]].
** Death 17 in part 4 occurs after [=JayRiott=] references two Nintendo games back to back, leading to a "short-sighted money grab" copyright strike. This was before the company became more lenient with their [=IPs=]...with the exception of fan games, especially ones based on the ''Mario'' series.
** Death 20 in part 5 is "LA Traffic", where someone waits in gridlocked traffic for so long that they decompose into a skeleton.
** Death 8 in part 6 boils down to "Liking [[Franchise/StarWars Jar Jar Binks]]". Uniquely, this is one both against his fans and haters. The fan is [[TheDitz portrayed by Stu]] and the hater came in and killed him with a lightsaber simply because Stu stated that [[DisproportionateRetribution he found Jar Jar funny in his own home with no one else in sight]].
** Death 39 in part 6 is a jab at long, unskippable [=YouTube=] ads (specifically ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'' ones). For good measure, there's a quick jab at how the animators didn't even lip sync all of the character's syllables.
** Death 24 in part 7 is a jab against annoying people on the Internet who put others down for not beating ThatOneBoss on their first try.
** Death 31 in part 8 is one against the dialogue of ''VideoGame/MinecraftStoryMode''.
** Death 14 in the Halloween edition is one against [[Creator/ElectronicArts EA Games]], referring to its CEO's smile as "a truly cursed image".
* TeleFrag:
** Death 34 in part 6 is caused when a Nether Portal cuts the victim in half.
** Death 28 in part 7 also has this happen, this time due to an incomplete teleport command.
* TeleportSpam: Death 5 in part 2 is caused by excessive use of Ender Pearls and, consequently, [[ZergRush excessive spawning of Endermites]].
* TemptingFate:
** "There's no X in Minecraft!" Guess what? There is, and it just killed you. Redstone Ned is a common target.
** The Gingerbread man ''loves'' doing this. You'd think he'd learn by now…
* ToiletHumor:
** Death 48 in part 1 is "Missing The Toilet"… as in, falling from a great height and missing the toilet water that would’ve kept you from dying.
** Narrowly defied in part 5; Redstone Ned is about to say [[GrammarNazi "There is no 'P' in Minecraft!"]], but — [[GenreSavvy realizing where this usually leads him]] — Ned does a LastSecondWordSwap.
* TooDumbToLive: Too many examples to list. Let's just say that a lot of the deaths featured tend to require a character being completely stupid in order for it to happen. Special mention goes to Stu, who is pretty much the living embodiment of this trope.
* {{Troll}}: Some deaths are caused by the trolling antics of [=SnakeTheJaik=], a PaletteSwap of the AuthorAvatar. [=SnakeTheJaik=] has a black domino and die for a head and blue limbs.
* WhenTreesAttack: Death 15 in part 1 is "Eaten by a Tree".
* WireDilemma: One death features this. The team trying to defuse it end up botching it because both wires are Redstone, meaning they both look exactly the same.
* WrongGenreSavvy: Death 20 in the fairy tale edition sees this happen to Redstone Ned. Ned assumes that his wish for immortality will lead to an AndIMustScream scenario, and so demands that the genie reverse it… while he's standing in a pool of lava.
* YourMom: Deaths 28, 29, and 30 of the Halloween edition involve making these jokes within earshot of [[Franchise/FridayThe13th Jason Voorhees]], [[Film/{{Psycho}} Norman Bates]], and [[Literature/{{Beowulf}} Grendel]], respectively.
* ZergRush: Zombies, skeletons, creepers, silverfish… take your pick!
* ZombieApocalypse: Zombies of all kinds[[note]]except for the Mob Talker ones[[/note]] are a common cause of death.

''50 Ways to Die in Minecraft'' is a series of ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' parody videos created by [=YouTube=] user [[https://www.youtube.com/user/jayRiott Jake Eyes]]/[=jayRiott=]. [[note]]At least, that's what this page is about.

!!Ready, sego!
* ABoyAndHisX: Death 31 in part 4 sees a wannabe thief fall victim to a girl and her wolf pack.
* AchievementsInIgnorance: Stu occasionally manages these, like the time he somehow managed to fill his ''entire inventory'' with Totems of Undying. Or the time he pressed the pi button on his Game Boy Color version of ''Minecraft'', despite the GBC not having said button and said platform not supporting the game.
* AIIsACrapshoot: Death 32 in part 2 is "Building a Self Aware Redstone Device". When Redstone Ned activates it, he [[AMoltenDateWithDeath gets dropped into lava]].
* {{Anvilicious}}:
** Parodied InUniverse; death 43 in part 6 is an anvil in favor of net neutrality, and the death right after it is the viewer getting a literal anvil (with "NET NEUTRALITY IS GOOD!!!" written on it) dropped on their heads.
** Played straight in the Halloween Edition with death 38, which is "[[DrivenToSuicide Realizing that you've probably supported slave labor every time you ate chocolate in your whole life]]"… then parodied in death 40, which has [=JayRiott=] getting assassinated by an M&M with a sniper rifle (labeled as "Pointing out on your somewhat popular [=YouTube=] channel that Mars's chocolate is probably made with slave labor").
* AnimalAssassin: Parodied; Death 5 in part 7 is titled "Passive aggressively murderous chickens," when a chicken walks along a cliff and pushes someone off.
* AnvilOnHead: A very common form of death in the series.
* AuthorAvatar: Jake Eyes is represented in the series by [=jayRiott=], an avatar with a six-sided die for a head and a domino for a body.
* AwesomeButImpractical:
** While giving an object an enchantment within the range of 127 to 255 sounds awesome in concept, it usually leads to the wearer/user dying [[GoneHorriblyRight due to the overperformance of said equipment]].
** Death 22 in part 4 happens when Redstone Ned shows off his awesome [[SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud T-N-T CAN-NON]]… then realizes that it can only shoot in one direction, leaving him at the mercy of the Creepers.
* BadBoss:
** Death 10 in part 1 happens to a boss who underpaid the people who made his minecart track; in retaliation, [[AMoltenDateWithDeath they re-routed said track into a lava pit]].
** Death 19 in part 1 sees someone get dropped into a pit by their boss for failing to meet quarterly objectives.
** Death 18 in part 9 happens when a boss refuses to provide sick leave for his employees, leading to a SneezeOfDoom in [[StuffBlowingUp a TNT warehouse]].
** Death 46 in part 9 is another "underpaying your employees" joke, this time to a guy who wanted a mob grinder.
** Death 47 in the Christmas edition happens when the elves have enough of working nonstop at minimum wage without breaks for 17 centuries. Thanks, [[AdaptationalJerkass Santa Claus]].
* BaitAndSwitch: Too many deaths rely on this to count.
* BalefulPolymorph:
** Death 4 in the first part happens when a witch accidentally turns into a sheep, getting them mauled by a hungry wolf.
** Death 37 in part 6 happens when a wizard wearing an Aqua Affinity 255 helm turns into a fish and gets fed to a cat.
** Death 6 in part 9 happens when the victim drinks a Turtle Master 187 potion, turns into a baby turtle, and gets eaten by Drowned.
** Death 11 in part 10 happens when the victim puts on Thorns 255 armor, turning into a cactus as a result.
** Death 31 in part 10 occurs when someone puts on a chestplate with Blast Protection 145 and turns into obsidian as a result.
* BitingTheHandHumor: Some of the deaths involve jabs at [=YouTube=] and their lack of transparency in explaining and enforcing guidelines.
* BlobMonster: Deaths 6 and 42 in part 2 are caused by a slime and magma cube attack, respectively. Both deaths are titled "Night of the Living Boogers", with the latter subtitled "Wrath of Satan's Nostrils".
* BoltOfDivineRetribution: The victim in death 41, part 1 gets hit with this in response to spelling "NOTCH [[RougeAnglesOfSatin SUX]]" with blocks.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: At one point, the Gingerbread Man wonders how much his schtick is going to be milked.
* ButtMonkey: Redstone Ned has a habit of dying, often due to [[TemptingFate pointing out]] something is impossible in ''Minecraft'' [[RunningGag only for it to become real to kill him]], his attempts to evade death tend to blow up in his face, and his attempts to trick Stu often fail due to Stu being TooDumbToFool.
* CantYouReadTheSign: Both played straight and parodied; death 22 in part one happens when someone fails to heed the "Beware of Dogs" sign, and the very next death happens to someone who actually ''does'' stop to read the sign ("Readers will be shot").
* CheatersNeverProsper: Not only does the victim of death 25 in part 5 get banned from the server for cheating, but it's also pointed out that [[AllForNothing the glitch he was trying to exploit doesn't work anymore]].
* ChestMonster:
** Death 24 in part 5 happens when someone mistakes a Shulker for a Shulker Box.
** Death 40 in the Christmas edition also occurs due to this, with a Shulker disguised as a present box.
* ChristmasEpisode: "50 Ways to Die in Minecraft: Christmas Edition".
* ContinuityNod: Some deaths are continuations of previous deaths.
* DeadlyPrank: Death 22 in the fairy tale edition happens when someone tries to scare Ichabod by dressing as the Headless Horseman, only to get shot. [[Film/SleepyHollow1999 Ichabod has encountered the Headless Horseman before.]] [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome Of course it would end badly.]]
* DeathFromAbove: Be it anvil, gravel, train, airship, or something else, expect at least one of these per video.
* DieLaughing: One character always seems to suffer this — an entirely blue avatar with a LOL emoji for a face.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Some death are cause by this.
* DreadfulMusician: If death 19 in part 3 is anything to go by, [=jayRiott=] is apparently this in-universe.
* DrivenToSuicide: Jake Eyes does this for death 8 in part 3 after he listens to what he sounded like when he was younger.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The first part had less dialogue than in the other parts, the deaths were more closely related to Minecraft itself, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and Brandon (the guy who keeps getting missiles sent to his house) has his house blown up by TNT instead of a missile.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: The Giant in the Fairy Tale Edition refuse to attack American because due to Americans having too much trans fat. [=Norman298=] was lucky enough to survive this.
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: The name of the character that constantly suffers Elytra-related deaths is… [=ThatGuyWithTheElytra=].
* ExactWords:
** Death 7 in part 8 happens when a child reads a "must be accompanied by a parent or guardian" sign and decides she should bring [[SeaMonster a Guardian]], which then kills the ticket vendor.
** Death 17 in Fairy Tale Edition: When asked "Who's the fairest of them all?", the Magic Mirror responds by citing a judge. This angers the vain queen who asked the question, so she throws a brick at the mirror, resulting in "Death by being a Reflective [[GoshDangItToHeck Smartaxe]]".
* FlameWar:
** An unlucky sap triggers one in death 39 in part 3, leading to him dying by way of getting caught in the ([[ArrowsOnFire literal]]) crossfire.
** It happens again for death 44 of the Christmas edition, once again complete with flaming arrows.
* FracturedFairyTale: The entire point of the fairy tale edition.
* FunWithSubtitles: In the last death in part 2, the subtitles are used to translate the scientists' TechnoBabble into LaymansTerms.
* GaleForceSound: What causes death 10 in part 8 — Redstone Ned powers too many note blocks at once.
* GoneHorriblyRight:
** For death 12 of the Christmas episode, Redstone Ned remembers how he previously got crushed by a present from Santa, so he decides to be as naughty as possible in order to avoid that fate this year. He succeeds… [[LaserGuidedKarma and gets crushed by coal.]]
** When "X 127 - 255" equipment isn't inflicting a BalefulPolymorph on the wearer, it's probably doing this.
* GravityIsAHarshMistress: A lot of the deaths in the series involve falling from a great height.
* {{Greed}}: The title given to death 4 in part 2[[note]]which could be more accurately described as "SchmuckBait"[[/note]], and the cause of a lot of other deaths in the series.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Often, the characters will be done in by their own actions.
* InstantlyProvenWrong: The RunningGag of someone saying "There is no X in Minecraft!", followed by them getting killed by that exact thing.
* InsufferableGenius: Redstone Ned's defining trait, which gets him killed multiple times.
* JerkassGenie: Played straight and averted in the fairytale edition; death 12 sees the genie use ExactWords to not grant the wisher immortality. However, in death 20, he tries to warn Redstone Ned against doing something stupid, and in his third appearance, he's merely exasperated by Stu.
* JumpScare: Death 49 in part 3 is originally presented as literally being bored to death. Then [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys3 Springtrap]] rears his ugly head, and [[BaitAndSwitch it's switched]] to "[[SensoryAbuse Wearing Headphones]]".
* KarmaHoudini: Subverted with Santa Claus in the Christmas edition. He runs over a grandma in death 35, only for said grandma to kill him with a rocket launcher in death 50.
* KillItWithFire: Fire plays a part in a lot of deaths, whether directly or indirectly.
* LaserGuidedKarma: Some death and prank can bite the causers big time. [=SnakeTheJaik=] and Feed Me learn this the hard way.
* LastSecondWordSwap: The Gingerbread Man like to do this in every of his tempting of fate.
--> '''Gingerbread Man''': Run, run, run, as fast as you can! You can't catch me, I'm-\\
''(Get shot by a stray.)''\\
'''Gingerbread Man''': [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Screwed.]]
* LavaPit: A number of characters meet their end by falling into one of these. Death 11 in part 2 has [=JayRiott=] get pushed into one for throwing too many actors into lava.
* LowClearance: The cause of death 5 in part 1.
* MamaBear: Death 33 in part 3 is "Standing Between a Wild Polar Bear and Her Cub".
* MissingMom: Death 36 in the fairy tale edition happens when Aladdin's mother discovers that her son is about to get a Disney movie about him, necessitating this trope.
--> ''Aladdin's Mom was Slain for Plot Convenience''
* NotInFrontOfTheParrot: Two deaths in part 4 are caused this way; the first affecting an unfortunate pirate who happened to be complaining about the captain in front of his PirateParrot, and the second is affecting the parrot itself (which just flies away, so it doesn't actually count as a death).
* NukeEm:
** The last death in part 2. Apparently, trying to split a bedrock block with a massive laser results in a massive explosion.
** Death 49 in part 9 happens when a pirate mistakes a map to a nuclear warhead testing facility for a treasure map.
* OverlyLongGag: Deaths 16 through 20 in part 6 are about assuming you're the only sniper in the area. The snipers then return for death 41, "Not Beating the System".
* OwMyBodyPart: Death 15 in the Halloween Edition is "Hearing a Blood Curdling Scream", prompting the victim to exclaim "Ow, my blood!" before collapsing.

* RainOfArrows: Sometimes characters will get killed by these, with the circumstances behind them changing.
* RasputinianDeath: Death 48 in part 5 is this — it has so many deadly things coming at the victim that [[EvenTheSubtitlerIsStumped the death title cards have no clue what actually killed them]].
* RougeAnglesOfSatin:
** The ones who wrote the signs that read "Notch Sucks" and "Herobrine Sucks" in Part 1 apparently can't seem to tell that just because there is an "/x/" sound doesn't mean that it's always an "X" there.
** One death has someone get slain by misspelling the word "type", which leads to a TotalPartyKill.
* RubeGoldbergHatesYourGuts: Subverted; death 15 in part 3 ''tries'' to do this, but the anvil is a block off from hitting the victim. Instead, they get blown up by a Creeper seconds after.

** Death 22 in the fairy tale edition happens when someone tries to scare Ichabod by dressing as the [[Film/SleepyHollow1999 Headless Horseman,]] only to get shot.

* SoreLoser:
** Death 40 in part 10 happens when the victim beats a server admin at Spleef and gets banned as a result.

** Death 47 in the Christmas edition shows that forcing your employees to work nonstop at minimum wage without ''any'' breaks or benefits will eventually lead to the employees revolting.
** Death 50 in the Christmas edition. It's highly unlikely that you would be able to get away with running over someone with absolutely no consequences. Santa Claus learns this the hard way when the grandma from death 35 kills him for running her over.
** The Fairy Tale edition ''loves'' this trope:
*** Death 4: The witch's gingerbread house attracts [[BearsAreBadNews bears]] as well as children.
*** Death 11: Said gingerbread house collapses in the rain.
*** Death 13: The smallest billy goat gruff tries to keep the bridge troll from eating him by claiming his bigger brother will be coming the troll's way. The troll points out that [[TakeAThirdOption he can just eat both of them]].
*** Death 14: The protagonist of ''The Tinder Box'' tries to [[OneLastSmoke create a scenario]] before his execution where he can use said tinder box. Instead, the executioner lights his pipe for him.
*** Deaths 18, 19, & [[BrickJoke 25]]: By destroying all the spinning wheels in the kingdom, the king from ''Sleeping Beauty'' has deprived the tailors of their income and ''everyone'' of some sorely-needed clothes come winter. When the Big Bad Wolf shows up in the village, he is promptly mobbed by the whole half-frozen population and stripped of his warm fur.

*** Death 28: When asked who's the most beautiful of them all, the Magic Mirror [[LogicBomb breaks]] because the term is completely subjective.
*** Death 29: The protagonist of ''The Tinder Box'' discovers that his girlfriend [[UnstoppableRage is not exactly thrilled]] that he killed her parents.
*** Death 30: Cinderella's glass slippers break when she jumps on them too hard, getting her killed when the wound becomes infected.
*** Deaths 37 through 41: The fairy puts everyone in the kingdom to sleep at the same time as Sleeping Beauty, causing a ''lot'' of accidental deaths as a result.
*** Death 48: The wolf averts WhyDontYaJustShootHim with a vengeance, eating Little Red Riding Hood the moment he sees her.
* TakeThat:
** Death 13 in part 1 happens when Redstone Ned watches the Franchise/StarWars holiday special. It happens again in the Christmas edition, though it was quickly undone because it already happened in part 1.
** Death 24 in part 3 is "Working for [[Creator/ElectronicArts EA Games]]", where a worker dies of overexertion after being forced to work day and night without sleep.
** Death 34 in part 3 is "Standing Between a Wild Creator/{{Activision}} and a Nickel", where a businessman, making a very animalistic growling noise, slaughters someone [[{{Greed}} for the reason stated above]].
** Death 9 in part 4 is caused by [=YouTube=] [[InternetJerk hate comments]].
** Death 17 in part 4 occurs after [=JayRiott=] references two Nintendo games back to back, leading to a "short-sighted money grab" copyright strike. This was before the company became more lenient with their [=IPs=]...with the exception of fan games, especially ones based on the ''Mario'' series.
** Death 20 in part 5 is "LA Traffic", where someone waits in gridlocked traffic for so long that they decompose into a skeleton.
** Death 8 in part 6 boils down to "Liking [[Franchise/StarWars Jar Jar Binks]]". Uniquely, this is one both against his fans and haters. The fan is [[TheDitz portrayed by Stu]] and the hater came in and killed him with a lightsaber simply because Stu stated that [[DisproportionateRetribution he found Jar Jar funny in his own home with no one else in sight]].
** Death 39 in part 6 is a jab at long, unskippable [=YouTube=] ads (specifically ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'' ones). For good measure, there's a quick jab at how the animators didn't even lip sync all of the character's syllables.
** Death 24 in part 7 is a jab against annoying people on the Internet who put others down for not beating ThatOneBoss on their first try.
** Death 31 in part 8 is one against the dialogue of ''VideoGame/MinecraftStoryMode''.
** Death 14 in the Halloween edition is one against [[Creator/ElectronicArts EA Games]], referring to its CEO's smile as "a truly cursed image".
* TeleFrag:
** Death 34 in part 6 is caused when a Nether Portal cuts the victim in half.
** Death 28 in part 7 also has this happen, this time due to an incomplete teleport command.
* TeleportSpam: Death 5 in part 2 is caused by excessive use of Ender Pearls and, consequently, [[ZergRush excessive spawning of Endermites]].
* TemptingFate:
** "There's no X in Minecraft!" Guess what? There is, and it just killed you. Redstone Ned is a common target.
** The Gingerbread man ''loves'' doing this. You'd think he'd learn by now…
* ToiletHumor:
** Death 48 in part 1 is "Missing The Toilet"… as in, falling from a great height and missing the toilet water that would’ve kept you from dying.
** Narrowly defied in part 5; Redstone Ned is about to say [[GrammarNazi "There is no 'P' in Minecraft!"]], but — [[GenreSavvy realizing where this usually leads him]] — Ned does a LastSecondWordSwap.
* TooDumbToLive: Too many examples to list. Let's just say that a lot of the deaths featured tend to require a character being completely stupid in order for it to happen. Special mention goes to Stu, who is pretty much the living embodiment of this trope.
* {{Troll}}: Some deaths are caused by the trolling antics of [=SnakeTheJaik=], a PaletteSwap of the AuthorAvatar. [=SnakeTheJaik=] has a black domino and die for a head and blue limbs.
* WhenTreesAttack: Death 15 in part 1 is "Eaten by a Tree".
* WireDilemma: One death features this. The team trying to defuse it end up botching it because both wires are Redstone, meaning they both look exactly the same.
* WrongGenreSavvy: Death 20 in the fairy tale edition sees this happen to Redstone Ned. Ned assumes that his wish for immortality will lead to an AndIMustScream scenario, and so demands that the genie reverse it… while he's standing in a pool of lava.
* YourMom: Deaths 28, 29, and 30 of the Halloween edition involve making these jokes within earshot of [[Franchise/FridayThe13th Jason Voorhees]], [[Film/{{Psycho}} Norman Bates]], and [[Literature/{{Beowulf}} Grendel]], respectively.
* ZergRush: Zombies, skeletons, creepers, silverfish… take your pick!
* ZombieApocalypse: Zombies of all kinds[[note]]except for the Mob Talker ones[[/note]] are a common cause of death.
