Yooo, gr8 video!

My bigest fear in Minecraft is laaag

theres this thing that i call the source game syndrom... where as much as it is populated with pigs, villagers and monsters. you always find yourself alone.

also i do believe in my memories that i have of this games knowledge is that at one point the moon was planned to be an eye watching you or some sh*t but notch took it out of the game because he thought events wouldnt fit the game. (really unsure tho)

Very relatable, especialy since I already had a streak of paranoia, glad to see someone actually addressing this! :D

You could write a book about this

damn bro

Dayum dude

The last part tho 'sitting in your massive cities and looking over your empire, you’ll realize that you may be at the top, but it’s easy to be number one when you’re the only number.' it gave me the chills 😭

This. This is why I don’t play survival much anymore. I usually just follow build tutorials in creatuve

Or are you

For me im afraid that something else is sentient aswell and its out to get me

Are you really?

@@stunfill4697 you know what you have to do and that you have to build like you were *programed* for that

Not so different from you irl

That’s why I just watch a Minecraft guide or play with friends.

dude same for me but it triggers the most extreme version of that during night time in minecraft, sometimes i box myself in a 1x2 space and fill it with torches just so that theres no chance of darkness, but either way im scared something will break in

Yeah I always felt like somthing was watching me playing minecraft as a kid it got so creepy I would stop playing

Dang, I thought it was just me being paranoid, but thank god there are many of us

Same

thats a true guy right there

I once blew up a large chunk of my items in the nether when trying to reduce my fall damage by placing a bed under myself, much like the water bucket clutch. I clicked twice... Will never forget playing on that one server with my online buddies, always dying and losing our gear in like every way possible lol. Good times.

In the nether it usually falls in lava and even if it doesn’t you’re constantly being shot at by ghasts while trying to get to your items

or the nether

its actually dying in lava with an op bow and 30 levels :[

Considering all the structures that naturally generate, it’s hard not to think there’s somebody else.

same, could never play singleplayer back then and even now i still cant. I always felt like someone was watching me 😅

Once I convinced my parents to get minecraft for me a few years ago, I never touched it unless my best friend was online. It always felt so lonely without anyone to play with you

Or the realization that you're completely alone in your world.

In real life, it’s related to agoraphobia. The fear of being in wide open spaces, and feeling either completely alone, or like… you aren’t

I used to always leave my world when I heard a cave sound, and then I decided not to turn my sound up

I turned the cave sounds off for a good reason

One time I heard it I was like nope peace out!

I was mining then I saw a skeleton and it scares the absolute fuck out of me

Is it just me or does anyone else hear cave noises in the End? It might just be me or a bug or even just that world but while going about the end islands, it’s very unsettling-

I think npcs would be great to make it less lonely

Going to villagers never actually worked for me as well. The reason being their behaviour seems arrogate towards you. As if they don't care about you. Like, yeah, they can trade with you and shi but other than that they don't care. They're just there. They're a little more human than pigs ofc but not as lively as the real players. I kinda feel like that's the main reason why fandom fell in love with Millinere mod. It makes villages feel a lot more genuine and alive. To the point where it almost feels like you're playing with other players

when you try to play with your friends it actually feels alive..

So true

Hyperbole.

Then the sun goes up, and you hear the soundtrack. Finally, you feel free. Those skeletons whose legs were crambling above you, are burning. Flowers are in front of you. You eat your steak and continue the adventure. And yes, you can finish your house now.

Not even any mob is around you whether it is hostile or passive. There is just you and the endless block world. But then you survive your first night and it feels much more alive

@@boppitybippitybop1829 Nah after 9 years and

When I'm near there the game starts making the creepy noises bro😭

@@showtimeruler_ruiyou can turn them off :)

True. Also, im the 666th person who liked this comment!

@@riyqn It turns off other sounds though. Wish it was a separate setting

That’s the same reason why people say “I spy books” are creepy, the pages of those books are so busy-looking and populated with so many objects but yet it still feels very lonely.

it doesnt make me feel lonely, just empty.

Still I get the feeling

@@Ninjagamer-el3dv same but it helps

I use a minimap mod, it shows any mobs or entities around me

Finally someone who gets it. Bro singleplayer feels like it is designed to give as many heart attacks as possible.

I go caving for fun in real life, but Minecraft cave noises still scare me

FR!!!!!

Why did i feel that?

Try facing the Warden at night....

Oh that explains a lot actually. Even while playing on creative peaceful mode with cave sounds off, I still get pretty scared when I venture too far into a cave. Lately, I’ve just been building on the surface so, caves sounds are on because I still they’re cool, lol.

The movie A Quiet Place uses silence perfectly to build tension so I completely agree

The worst horrors are those our own minds create.

so any game with footsteps is scary? Lmfao

Campfire in the house with rain outside is nice though.

You can probably role play in the builds with friends or random people who want to play with you, you can also make another map to play hard mode and find villages.

@@SnowAngelAJ The worst option possible 👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆

@@deadpool-zw4mq Well at least i tried to think of something, i mean if you're gonna build lots of buildings the best things TO DO is to role play in them.. especially with friends, like for a example: you build a fnaf 1 location and if your friends know about fnaf they can possibly role play with you, the role playing with random people is incase you don't have friends who play minecraft and you can ask people if they want to play with you. If you think my options are bad then i want to see YOU make up your own options.

@@deadpool-zw4mq honestly i *HATE* when people just say stuff like you do with no context like as to why you feel that way and better options that could be used, saying "The worst option possible" just sounds like you are trying to be mean🤦‍♀

@@CatCatchinChannel "how to roblox games" 💀💀

Dude, SAME. Even now at age 21, I STILL can’t go to a cave too often especially in single player survival.

I still do that now

Felt that

I actually remember once I was in a cave on PE and I dug straight down and ended up finding a diamond. I kept on clicking off it because it was too dark to see where it was so it took me a good 20 minutes to mine it. I then realised I couldn’t mine it with my bare hands. I was so sad 😂. Wow, that was about a decade ago now.

exactly, that's why when i used to play mc i would always set "Keep Inventory" on at all times cuz i was always scared of whatever could suddenly kill me in the caves or getting lost and never finding home again 😭

LMAOOO

Fr

You can still come across them, I call them ghost villages. They are villages that have houses that are destroyed, empty, and filled with cobwebs, sometimes a zombie villager will be in the house but no living villagers are anywhere to be seen. They are way more common in Bedrock than in Java.

@@ZealousElit3 no but we talking about Villages that supposed to have villagers. in my Xbox one version of Minecraft, i had a house near a village, it had villagers but when I hopped in one day, all the villagers were gone, really eerie

Moved to villager because, yk, they feels like your friends because you're not alone, after that they're suddenly disappeared lmao

@@jasonoy3142 oh ok thanks, yea that sounds pretty creepy

@@ZealousElit3 No those are supposed to be in the game the other stuff was like a bug

I'm only scared when it comes down to killing mobs, I don't know how people arent afraid of them.

Same I used to play Minecraft alone and it was so lonely and terrifying but if played with friends it would be funny

I can't tell you how many times I got scared in caves or in the overworld just with paranoid feelings or with the background noises, jesus, but I was so fascinated at the same time

I used to watch my brother play games, and whenever he opened Minecraft I would immediately run away. I was SO scared of it.

@@liviwaslost 100%

because of shaders but yeah

Some shaders work magic

Yes. Sometimes I'd hear the cackling of a hen and even that would scare me. Because of the silence, it would make me feel sad. It would make me feel trapped in a limbo or desolate purgatory. It would make me feel as if I don't exist.

Instead of feeling like I'm being watched, I instead feel as if nothing is there to watch, which is infinitely more terrifying in my opinion. Some cosmic horror level stuff

Yea I cant play minecraft with out friends, it makes me feel to alone and a bit sad. The silence is unnerving at times and I feel like im always being followed by someone.

Think most of yall need therapist

@@jokkemannen96 what a brilliant name you have

i like the loneliness and the rain its relaxingg but sometimes when you eenter a cave it creeps me out

the funny thing is when I was exploring a cave I got too scared and I gave myself like a ton of villager spawn eggs to keep me company

I often do that as well!

What makes it terrifying is one of my worlds I was building on I came across a tame wolf that wasn't even mine. Nor any of my friends. That is when that world was deleted

@@ailoriarayne5086 thats terrifying

@@ailoriarayne5086 wtf that’s so creepy

@@ailoriarayne5086 My God, that is extremely terrifying. In my 5+ year old creative world, I had a small army of dogs that won’t listen to me as if they were never mine. I don’t know if they were mine before when an earlier update suddenly made them not mine or if one of my visitors tamed them all so, I just gathered them in my first basement. Same thing happened in one of our previous iPad’s worlds too. Eventually, I just built them gazebos to stay dry under.

@@NotCreeper78 What makes it more terrifying is that it was a relatively new world and none of us had any wolves yet cause we was still gathering materials

That’s real life for me

I know you noob

And thats why i stopped playing on my hardcore worlds and just play with friends

Especially the cave sounds

i feel that being alone with the entire world to yourself is pretty enjoyable

Playing alone is fine. Playing with captions is not.

@@ASlickNamedPimpback i often play games muted so i can listen to music on youtube while playing. so i turn on sound captions instead

Sometimes I hear the sounds outside in Minecraft

@Zero just makes it less immersive

Now that’s good sound design

Anyone remember discs 11 and 13

I was very afraid of these sounds but after I started playing again this year actively I lost my fear I can't explain it but these sounds make mining more interesting

I agree. Even so, ambience is still needed, however not ones of a bustling environment. The rustling of the leaves, creaking of wood, and sound of the wind can invoke a curious yet desolate mood to the player, which is great for getting people hooked to the game but also being accurate to the story being told.

This is an example of something called Liminality. The fact that you are alone, and there is nothing else like you, can give a sense of unease. Everything in the game felt like it had no purpose. There isn’t anything to do or see, then just, walk, and hope you find something abroad. The world is also huge. It may give feelings of nostalgia, or dread. It’s like the Backrooms in a way. The overworld is Level 0, the Nether is Level 1, The End is Level 2, and the End Islands are Level 2.1. Is there a baseline reality in all of this? Are you truly alone, with no one to comfort you? Is there anyone out there, at all?

!

The End is empty but it has what we want. The Overworld is full but it does not have what we want. That's why it feels so unnerving. Everything you could have but nothing you truly want. The End, while dangerous, has what you seek. The dragon, the cities, treasure. Everything you have come here for is here.

That is terrifying

I feel like this is why Herobrine became such a thing

I remember that happening a lot back in alpha to me, scared me so much I'd be building a house then pause to check my inventory then hear a block break i hadn't broken and then never be able to find where the sound originated from

I had walked away from a tree i had mine and started on another. The sound of leaves made me jolt. As i glanced behind me i realized it was the last tree i had mined. Until i heard walking behind me. I was too scared to turn around. It was getting closer and closer. The entity halted behind me. I swung around to face my enemy. A pig. I left the game after that and then called someone to play with me instead.

Yeah this never happens

@@BLET_55artem55 okay well then it's just an emulation device

Actually, I feel like that's part of the appeal to singleplayer for me. It is very lonely, but the nervousness and helplessness it gives you can be considered part of the "challenge" I guess :P You're in a vast world all by yourself, and no matter how scary, confusing or meaningless it seems, you still have to survive and live with what you have. You have the most agency to do whatever you can with the world, and even though that's frightening, it's the truth. Animals are your only company, aside from aggressive mobs. But eventually, you explore the world deeper and deeper, going underground and getting new resources. You discover the Nether, and subsequently the End, defeating a giant dragon who's role or purpose you have no knowledge of. But just to spite the futility of the situation you're in, you defy the forces of nature working against you and some semblance of purpose can begin to be uncovered. There's still beauty in this lonely world though, in my opinion. The music, especially the C418 tracks which play in the overworld, is just so beautiful! Even if it's still a little melancholic. To me, it feels like the only real company you have. It embodies the things you feel living in this world, and helps you feel less alone (while still knowing that you're pretty alone). Anyways, I think Sage makes a very good point, and I think it would make sense for a game like Minecraft to have ambient noises that helped the player not feel existential dread. After all, people like me who are looking for the more lonely/unsettling experience would be able to just turn it off.

It makes it feel like there's no point in trying to stave off entropy

Thank you

@@romijn1751 to be honest the music makes it worse

@@ildna How? Take for example the song Sweden, its relaxing

It always feels like someone or something is watching you

Its also the fear, that you KNOW your ALONE, but the eerie feeling of something or someone watching you NEVER goes away.

I think its because, in the real world, we can never escape the knowledge that there are billions of others out there. In minecraft, there are none, but that nagging feeling that there have to be others still persists. So you find yourself staring into that completely empty expanse stretching out into infinity, looking for others that dont exist.

Shut up

That was deep. I felt the emotion man.

same

I definitely think it should be toggleable in the music and sounds section

Yeah, I think that the ambience should be there, but it still gives the iconic lonely feeling, and ruins of buildings that seem player-built scattered across the overworld would add to the loneliness, so, ambience that still gives the implication that you and any other players in the Minecraft World are the only Humans remaining that aren't undead would be nice, and rare, extremely quiet and distant implications of civilization in the form of echoing sound would make it like your character's loneliness is getting to them

yes minecraft is the only place of the world that I can feel literally alone all in the world

I don't quite know about it adding to the you can do anything part of the game. But the atmosphere in the over world, and how it's seemingly more scary then the Nether at times is, is one of my favorite parts of the game. Also when I'm playing and I start getting too scared it's like a timer that says I need to take a break.

Oh thank you!

@@RandomSageless ☺️

Villagers fill the void of loneliness. The versions before they were added, on the other hand….

It captures that aspect of the game pretty well in Minecraft: The Island

I always just imagined minecraft is a post zombie apocalypse world given that the main mob is the zombie. If you compare it to other zombie games like the Last of Us you can see the similarities. Ruined cities infested with zombies, well minecraft has abandoned villages, raiders that attack other survivors, well minecraft has the Pillagers who literaly raid the villages. Besides the asthetic of the game the only main differences are that one it takes place in a medieval setting given the lack of guns and cars and the usage of swords and bows not to mention the villagers and their villages dont resemble more modern cities. Second these zombies are caused by some evil magic and not a virus , bio weapon or fungus minecraft has enchanted weapons and witches and sorcerors who summon minions to fight for them, clearly it is based in a magic centered world. Furthermore there is a cure in minecraft, any veteran player knows a potion of weakness and a golden apple can cure a zombie villager. When you look at it like that it makes sense that minecraft has a sense of horror like the other zombie games it share similarities with

the theories of there being more than what's on the surface is greatly amplified by the message we get after defeating the ender dragon, which i will leave here. a conversation between two beings. "I see the player you mean. PLAYERNAME? Yes. Take care. It has reached a higher level now. It can read our thoughts. That doesn't matter. It thinks we are part of the game. I like this player. It played well. It did not give up. It is reading our thoughts as though they were words on a screen. That is how it chooses to imagine many things, when it is deep in the dream of a game. Words make a wonderful interface. Very flexible. And less terrifying than staring at the reality behind the screen. They used to hear voices. Before players could read. Back in the days when those who did not play called the players witches, and warlocks. And players dreamed they flew through the air, on sticks powered by demons. What did this player dream? This player dreamed of sunlight and trees. Of fire and water. It dreamed it created. And it dreamed it destroyed. It dreamed it hunted, and was hunted. It dreamed of shelter. Hah, the original interface. A million years old, and it still works. But what true structure did this player create, in the reality behind the screen? It worked, with a million others, to sculpt a true world in a fold of the [scrambled], and created a [scrambled] for [scrambled], in the [scrambled]. It cannot read that thought. No. It has not yet achieved the highest level. That, it must achieve in the long dream of life, not the short dream of a game. Does it know that we love it? That the universe is kind? Sometimes, through the noise of its thoughts, it hears the universe, yes. But there are times it is sad, in the long dream. It creates worlds that have no summer, and it shivers under a black sun, and it takes its sad creation for reality. To cure it of sorrow would destroy it. The sorrow is part of its own private task. We cannot interfere. Sometimes when they are deep in dreams, I want to tell them, they are building true worlds in reality. Sometimes I want to tell them of their importance to the universe. Sometimes, when they have not made a true connection in a while, I want to help them to speak the word they fear. It reads our thoughts. Sometimes I do not care. Sometimes I wish to tell them, this world you take for truth is merely [scrambled] and [scrambled], I wish to tell them that they are [scrambled] in the [scrambled]. They see so little of reality, in their long dream. And yet they play the game. But it would be so easy to tell them... Too strong for this dream. To tell them how to live is to prevent them living. I will not tell the player how to live. The player is growing restless. I will tell the player a story. But not the truth. No. A story that contains the truth safely, in a cage of words. Not the naked truth that can burn over any distance. Give it a body, again. Yes. Player... Use its name. PLAYERNAME. Player of games. Good. Take a breath, now. Take another. Feel air in your lungs. Let your limbs return. Yes, move your fingers. Have a body again, under gravity, in air. Respawn in the long dream. There you are. Your body touching the universe again at every point, as though you were separate things. As though we were separate things. Who are we? Once we were called the spirit of the mountain. Father sun, mother moon. Ancestral spirits, animal spirits. Jinn. Ghosts. The green man. Then gods, demons. Angels. Poltergeists. Aliens, extraterrestrials. Leptons, quarks. The words change. We do not change. We are the universe. We are everything you think isn't you. You are looking at us now, through your skin and your eyes. And why does the universe touch your skin, and throw light on you? To see you, player. To know you. And to be known. I shall tell you a story. Once upon a time, there was a player. The player was you, PLAYERNAME. Sometimes it thought itself human, on the thin crust of a spinning globe of molten rock. The ball of molten rock circled a ball of blazing gas that was three hundred and thirty thousand times more massive than it. They were so far apart that light took eight minutes to cross the gap. The light was information from a star, and it could burn your skin from a hundred and fifty million kilometres away. Sometimes the player dreamed it was a miner, on the surface of a world that was flat, and infinite. The sun was a square of white. The days were short; there was much to do; and death was a temporary inconvenience. Sometimes the player dreamed it was lost in a story. Sometimes the player dreamed it was other things, in other places. Sometimes these dreams were disturbing. Sometimes very beautiful indeed. Sometimes the player woke from one dream into another, then woke from that into a third. Sometimes the player dreamed it watched words on a screen. Let's go back. The atoms of the player were scattered in the grass, in the rivers, in the air, in the ground. A woman gathered the atoms; she drank and ate and inhaled; and the woman assembled the player, in her body. And the player awoke, from the warm, dark world of its mother's body, into the long dream. And the player was a new story, never told before, written in letters of DNA. And the player was a new program, never run before, generated by a sourcecode a billion years old. And the player was a new human, never alive before, made from nothing but milk and love. You are the player. The story. The program. The human. Made from nothing but milk and love. Let's go further back. The seven billion billion billion atoms of the player's body were created, long before this game, in the heart of a star. So the player, too, is information from a star. And the player moves through a story, which is a forest of information planted by a man called Julian, on a flat, infinite world created by a man called Markus, that exists inside a small, private world created by the player, who inhabits a universe created by... Shush. Sometimes the player created a small, private world that was soft and warm and simple. Sometimes hard, and cold, and complicated. Sometimes it built a model of the universe in its head; flecks of energy, moving through vast empty spaces. Sometimes it called those flecks "electrons" and "protons". Sometimes it called them "planets" and "stars". Sometimes it believed it was in a universe that was made of energy that was made of offs and ons; zeros and ones; lines of code. Sometimes it believed it was playing a game. Sometimes it believed it was reading words on a screen. You are the player, reading words... Shush... Sometimes the player read lines of code on a screen. Decoded them into words; decoded words into meaning; decoded meaning into feelings, emotions, theories, ideas, and the player started to breathe faster and deeper and realised it was alive, it was alive, those thousand deaths had not been real, the player was alive You. You. You are alive. and sometimes the player believed the universe had spoken to it through the sunlight that came through the shuffling leaves of the summer trees and sometimes the player believed the universe had spoken to it through the light that fell from the crisp night sky of winter, where a fleck of light in the corner of the player's eye might be a star a million times as massive as the sun, boiling its planets to plasma in order to be visible for a moment to the player, walking home at the far side of the universe, suddenly smelling food, almost at the familiar door, about to dream again and sometimes the player believed the universe had spoken to it through the zeros and ones, through the electricity of the world, through the scrolling words on a screen at the end of a dream and the universe said I love you and the universe said you have played the game well and the universe said everything you need is within you and the universe said you are stronger than you know and the universe said you are the daylight and the universe said you are the night and the universe said the darkness you fight is within you and the universe said the light you seek is within you and the universe said you are not alone and the universe said you are not separate from every other thing and the universe said you are the universe tasting itself, talking to itself, reading its own code and the universe said I love you because you are love. And the game was over and the player woke up from the dream. And the player began a new dream. And the player dreamed again, dreamed better. And the player was the universe. And the player was love. You are the player. Wake up."

I played on a server for a while and now I find it incredibly hard to go back to single player where all my work is for nothing

I feel you, the nostalgic memories come back and you can't help but fear it a little.

And the fucking warden

Cave dweller mod in a nutshell lol

​@@user-vl8ih6qx3swarden is new born kid our fear is cave cause we are old players cave sounds always terrifying thing ever in minecraft

Mine:something alway watching me something alway see me no matter am in void or sky or end or at nether i wss playing with my friend i was have fun until something in my pov just run to small cave and gone me and my friend was checking but nothing in there my friend doesnt use any mod and there only 2 player i was go to menu and see only 2 player me and my friend i feel 1 creatre watching me in dark not that 1 creatre watching me everywhere feeling something at back in cave look at nothing it just a dark feeling creepy birch tree biom theyre watching me with this eyes in nether something alway at my pov but i cant see some soul looking at me at the end nothing alone like having phobia scaring looking at people

Do not scared, that's me =) Why not join me and stay in Minecraft =]

I 100% agree The particles from the spore blossoms and the recently-added cherry blossoms can add such a cozy vibe to a build. Such a shame that fireflies never made it...

For real, just make it so the frogs just don’t eat the firefly’s

The real reason why they will not add them has nothing to do with frogs. Fireflies would be an entity. For them to be atmosphere you would need like 50 of them all constantly moving somewhere. This would not only create a lot of lag but also fill up the games entity cap making other mobs stop spawning

Or use particles...?

Wait they were?! Aww! I love fireflies :(

Probably because the whole game until this part make you feel like you are the only "superior" entity on the world. But when you hear the cave noises, you realize that you might not be alone at all. And someone knows that you are there.

Caves by themselves are not that scary for me but when a glow squid is dying in a cave that scares the literal 💩💩💩 out of me 😰😰😰

I used to be creeped out only when something blew up or hissed behind me nothing really much else. However, due to the new sounds in minecraft 1.17 or 1.18 it's been quite the unique experience that I'm still not used to.

i always look behind me with my axe out ready to swing and my shield blocking, just staring down the empty and perfectly lit hallway knowing nobody is gonna show up. but just that possibility of *what if*

@@soundbytedj8938 Feel the exact same way

No literally, because i feel safer in the nether

Expectations, you are already expect the creepy part of minecraft to be creepy and that makes you more focused, while the normal part of the world is creepier when silent.

@@SammEater yup expectations are a huge part of this, being at the beach and hearing nothing at all is creepy af, being at the literal underworld and hearing something mildly concerning is expected.

Those are really good explanations, yeah. Even in the Nether, cave sounds are less terrifying because they get all mixed up with all the scary stuff that you’re already vigilant towards. Although, the Nether has its own biome-specific ambient sounds which are still pretty terrifying. Also, the amount of mobs that you expect to spawn in the Nether makes the whole place feel a lot less lonely. Plus, the cave-like environment with the ceiling and all makes the place feel more…controllable if that makes sense. You also hear a lot of fire, lava, and more ambient sounds there. Even then, the Nether is still pretty scary, desolate, and I don’t go there often especially in Creative mode. However, it’s still less lonely.

mhm

Man, this happened to me just yesterday. Something kept setting off my pressure plates and dispensers whenever I got close to them. They were inside a structure so I couldn't see them. I was in single player but still signed in online. Probably just a glitch but still very creepy. Reminded me of another person's story about a door that kept opening and shutting whenever he walked below ground.

That’s creepy af

​@@Copperkaiju A few months before, i´ve played Minecraft 1.19 (The warden update) and decided to create survival world (For exploring new biomes, blocks, etc) and built a classic dirt cave house haha. Until then me occurred place wooden doors for evite mobs. Onde day, i was crafting tools, etc until hear the door opening like a player opening the door in a server online, inmediately i deleting the world xD.

@@Adriuno That's interesting. I'm still playing the Legacy(PS3) Edition. You'd think they'd have fixed that glitch by now. Unless it's not a glitch......👀

Well, you're not alone now after that :D

I've never noticed they look like name tags

I agree.

Yes what I was exactly about to say until agents started appearing outside my house

Same, but turning down all ambience would suck because I love the creepy cave and nether ambient sounds

I completely agree.

I believe they have separate volume sliders for ambient sounds, so you can pretty much already disable them!

I agree

it's very iconic
