Playful & Fantasy ViolenceSome

Minecraft combat is present throughout, including fighting blazes, endermen, and the wither; all violence is clearly fantasy and within the game context.

“He might actually kill me. I have full nether.”

“Oh my gosh, that was too close.”

“I'll put the enderman over here. I just don't think he deserves this.”
