The Bedrock Curse is a pretty recent term, first used by player TheAcidWitch13 in early December 2025. However, the idea that bedrock players are alot more likely to die than other members is much older, dating back to the start of the server.
Origins of the curse
Reasons
The bedrock edition of Minecraft has long been known to contain a considerable amount of bugs and glitches which can prove deadly on hardcore difficulty. Furthermore, console controllers are often seen as more limiting than their PC counterparts. The supposed young age of bedrock players is also a common explanation used to justify their usually short life spans but this has yet to be proven by any concrete research.
Consequences
Over time has emerged the notion stating that bedrock players have a shorter life expectancy compared to java players, with the large majority dying before their first hour on the server, in some cases, in only a few seconds or minutes.
Notable exceptions
At the time this text was written, only one notable exception existed, with the Bedrock player .DiplexMold2023 still alive and having a playtime of over 150 hours. However, unfortunately, this player later died in an incident involving Evokers at a totem farm, with 197 hours of playtime at the time.
Another notable example was the player .G_A_D_Oytb, who was the first Bedrock player to obtain a full set of Netherite gear (including a Netherite hoe), all mined and crafted entirely by himself. He also held the record for the longest survival time among Bedrock players, with 130 hours, until it was later surpassed by .DiplexMold2023. Unfortunately, .G_A_D_Oytb died due to a bug in which his Totem of Undying failed to activate during an elytra fall.
