Actually, the zombies in Minecraft don’t look that scary. But those terrible noises!
Don’t worry, this story sounds dramatic at first, but the person affected is doing well and he himself takes it with a lot of humor: the zombies from Minecraft caused a real heart attack in a player. The Reddit community comforts him, gives him valuable tips and warns him about other games that he should avoid.
What’s behind the zombie heart attack
Reddit-User Nekorianz explains that heart disease has run in his family for many generations. At the age of 24, he also has a heart condition – for a healthy person, being frightened by Minecraft zombies is harmless, but not necessarily for those who are sick.
Nekorianz’s heart attack was triggered when he suddenly found himself facing a horde of zombies and a creeper in a dark cave. He managed to alert his mother before he lost consciousness.
He told the doctor what had happened – much to his mother’s annoyance, as he writes. She has now forbidden him to play normal mode, Instead, Minecraft only runs on “peaceful”.

I shouldn’t laugh. I just find it funny that a 24 year old’s mom forbids playing Minecraft in anything other than peaceful mode because it might be too scary. Seriously, I hope you’re back on your feet.
Nekorianz doesn’t take offense to the smile and answers:
It’s funny, but since my father died of the same heart condition eight months ago (it’s hereditary for us), she’s become stricter with me. Hahaha. I couldn’t help it, she is my angel, it’s best to listen to mother’s advice. LMAO.

Minecraft contains a lot of horror for a building game that seems so peaceful: undead, exploding creepers, giant spiders, giant octopuses, enderman, the inhabitants of the deepest regions. So here’s a fun fact that’s extremely un-creepy: Creepers were created accidentally because developer Notch set the pig model incorrectly. He liked it so much that he turned it into an opponent who was happy to explode.
