"Sounds like a skill issue"—Minecraft player hilariously dies to silverfish after entering the End

With millions of players, Minecraft’s community is always active and interactive. They share their experiences, finds, and even expectations from upcoming updates. They also share their misfortunes, highlighting some shortcomings of the game, most commonly about the bugs. Despite several updates, Mojang’s flagship title is riddled with bugs that can seriously hamper gameplay.

Minecraft player and Redditor Ok-Solution-4165 shared a clip on the game's subreddit with the caption emphasizing their relationship with this title. The clip shows the player entering the End portal and right before they spawn in the End dimension, a silverfish attacks them resulting in a nasty fall and the player dying.

Bro… I hate this game byu/Ok-Solution-4165 inMinecraft

Reacting to the video, TheoryTested-MC jokingly commented:

"Sounds like a skill issue"

They further explained how the original poster (OP) didn't break the silverfish spawner, which led to this unfortunate situation. Another user Shmarfle47 commented how the silverfish that kills the player can be seen entering the portal before the player. One_Attorney mentioned that this death being a skill issue is actually valid.

But not everyone was pointing out OP’s mistake. Lemon_McGee commented that it was unfortunate for the player to go through. Another user NanoCat0407 commented that one should always get rid of the spawner before lighting the portal. FreakFlame also said that the first rule of the stronghold is to always break the spawner.

Ok_Kiwi3405 commented that before going to the Nether or End dimension for the first time, it is always better to watch your step. wesw02 commented that the same is true for the Nether as they always drop their gear in an ender chest and then take it with them. Another user Swissstuff asked how the player got an ender chest before they went into the Nether as a Blaze rod is necessary to make the ender chest in Minecraft.

HellFireCannon66 offered an alternative option of keeping items in a chest and then going through the portal with blocks. wesw02 then clarified their statement saying after one has acquired the blaze rod they can make the ender chest and follow the safety procedure.

End update for Minecraft?

Every Minecraft update, including Tricky Trials, aims to make the game better and more fun. While the developers take their time, they may have ignored the End dimension for too long. The End, while designed to be barren and desolate, isn't supposed to be boring. Fans expect Mojang to come up with something similar to what it did with the Nether update.

We might get some improvements in the 1.22 update. Adding new exclusive mobs, new biomes, and new challenging hostile mobs in the End dimension would be a great start in making it more interesting and worth exploring.
