This is probably the first problem new players can experience while playing the game. As they enter the game, players can get excited and get straight to exploring and without proper precaution. They can get lost in the infinite world of Minecraft, and won't be able to get back to their home or spawn.

As new players explore the desert biome in Minecraft, they can come across a mysterious building called a Desert temple. It has chests with loot in its deep basement.

But what beginners don't know is that there is a pressure plate that activates a TNT explosion which kills them and destroys all the loot as well. This is one of the classic first-time mistakes many Minecraft players have committed.

And of course, one of the most common causes of death in Minecraft is getting exploded by a Creeper. These silent mobs have only one goal, to get near players and explode. New players will try to melee attack the mob, but they can't stay close to it for too long, and the Creeper explodes, killing them.

1) Digging straight down

Minecraft, as the name suggests, is all about mining. Hence, when players spawn in the world, after some exploring, they can start digging down to get diamonds or other precious ores faster.

But what they don't realize is that the caves can be full of hostile mobs and lava, which can instantly kill them. And they won't be able to run back to the surface as quickly. They can sometimes just fall in a lava pit and die.
