I decided to write some short horror stories about Minecraft. Trigger warnings! Drowning, death, decay, blood, gore, bones, skeletons, zombies, corpses, mushrooms/mycological horror, body horror, impalement, violence, and graphic descriptions of death. If you are sensitive to any of these topics do not read the rest of this post!

Drowned
Tw: Drowning, zombies, impalement, violence, blood, death
As you swim in the ocean, you hear a choked gurgle. You worry someone is drowning, so you go towards the noise. You feel three sharp pains in your leg, yell in pain, and look down. Through the murky blood-stained water, you see a pair of glowing blue eyes. Your leg, impaled by a trident, is bleeding profusely. The eyes come closer. As you watch in horror, the eyes reveal their face: the face of a zombie. Its skin is grayish teal, and it wears tattered clothes. There are strands of kelp stuck to its flesh. The sight of the zombie makes you scream. You try to swim away, but the pain in your leg and the blood loss make you sink. You feel the air exit your lungs in your last breath, then everything goes dark.
Withered
Tw: Decay, blood, gore, death, violence, bones, skeletons, body horror
You step across the sweltering brick floor of the fortress. The hot, heavy air feels suffocating. You are at the fortress for blaze rods, but you don't see any blazes. Instead, you see skeletons. These skeletons are unnaturally tall, hold swords, and are as black as coal. Behind the group of skeletons, you suddenly see a blaze. As you head towards the group of skeletons, one of them runs at you. You run in fear, and its sword pricks you. You think nothing of your cut at first, but the pain doesn't go away. Then it suddenly stops. You look at the cut, and the skin surrounding the wound is shriveled up and gray. You poke the dead skin, and it turns to dust. The blood dripping from the cut is pitch black. The necrosis spreads to the rest of your body. You feel the same sensation: pain then no pain. As you lose more and more blood, you feel dizzy. Eventually the necrosis spreads to one of your vital organs, and you collapse into a withered pile of flesh, bones, blood, and dust.
Evocation
Tw: Death, violence
The rain pours onto you. The thick forest does nothing to shield you. You are getting cold. In the distance, you see a large mansion, which seems abandoned. You see someone in the distance. He turns to you.
"Hello, is it okay if I stay here?" You ask.
The man doesn't respond. He lifts his hands up, and they faintly glow white. Fangs sprout from the ground and try to bite your legs, but you dodge the fangs. When the man sees that you're still alive, he groans and raises his hands again, and they glow. From his fingertips, two small pixie-like creatures holding swords appear. The creatures chase you through the mansion, and you find yourself cornered. You create a wall between yourself and the creatures. You're safe. Or so you thought. The creatures phase through the wall, and continually slash you with their swords. You try to hit them, but they phase in and out so fast that you can't hit them at all. You're so exhausted that you can't even dodge the final slash.
Ender
Tw: Death, violence, body horror
In the dead of night, you see a cluster of purple particles. They disappear, then reappear somewhere else. In the particles, you see a pair of glowing purple eyes. You stare at them. You hear a deafening screech, and the eyes disappear. You feel fear unlike anything else you've ever felt. The creature with the purple eyes appears right in front of you. It is very tall, very thin, and as black as obsidian. Its limbs are very long and slender. Its mouth is open so wide it looks like it could crush your head. You want to hit the creature, but you're paralyzed with fear. It teleports away. It's behind you now. You feel the creature's long fingers wrap around your neck. You are too panicked to try to stop your imminent death. The creature snaps your neck, and everything fades away.
Warden
Tw: Death, violence, body horror
The cold, dank air of the cave surrounds you. The cave is dark, but your torch lets you see your surroundings. You come across a patch of strange blue vines. You take a step, and the vines react to the noise. Your torch starts to fade. You can barely see. You try to be as quiet as possible as to not alert monsters of your presence. You walk through the cave very carefully. Your torch's light completely fades out. You relight your torch. The sound of the flint and steel echoes through the cave. That's not the only sound echoing. You hear heavy footsteps that get louder and faster. In the dim light of the torch, you see a large creature. It seems humanoid, but it's blue and has no eyes. It runs towards you. You run away, but it corners you. It punches you once, crushing your skull and killing you.
Mycelium
Tw: Death, decay, mushrooms/mycological horror, corpses, body horror
You are stranded in the ocean, desparate for land. You see an island in the distance, and sail towards it. The island is covered in mushrooms, and the only creatures there are cows covered in mushrooms. When you milk one of these cows, you get mushroom stew. You set up a base camp on the island.
After a few days, you notice mushrooms on your body. Your skin has changed color too: it has more of a purple tint to it. Your skin smells like mushrooms. The mushrooms get bigger, and you get weaker. Your body decays, and eventually, you become part of the mycelium that covers the island. Every giant mushroom in the mushroom fields was grown from the corpse of an unfortunate traveler.
