Lava. What will usually happen is, I'll come across a lava flow while exploring a cave and make a mental note that it's there and to be VERY CAREFUL around it. Then I'll come back later for some reason, like to mine some ore in the vicinity or to try and harvest the lava itself, and despite being VERY CAREFUL, I will inevitably misstep and fall in anyway.

One time I found a lava flow and an underground waterfall practically right next to each other, separated by a small area of stone floor. I was being very careful around both, because I didn't want the water to flow into the lava the wrong way and ruin the obsidian farming I was planning to do. I started to pick my way around the edge of the lava pool to get at some Lapis ore on the far side, fell in, climbed out, and somehow managed to panic sufficiently that I couldn't quite make it to the waterfall, which was only a few steps away, in time to dunk myself in the water and prevent my embarrassing, fiery death.

Creepers on my minecart tracks. I hit them, go back the other way, and can only watch as my network is destroyed. That tears me up inside more than actually dying.

Mostly creepers....
But occasionally i get pushed off a cliff by a passive mob turn around and slap it in the face in anger and it turns out to be a spider so just as I hit the ground with 2 hearts and barely survive and angry pushy spider jumps off after me and finishes me off.

Creepers and spiders get me quite a bit recently I've been dying a lot due to crashes while mining. Whenever I log back in after a crash while mining underground the cobblestone/dirt/sand/whatever has reappeared around me and I'm crushed to death, guess I need to save more.

Only 3 people for zombies? I've been killed by them three times lately. I'm still learning what constitutes 'safe' when sleeping and frequently get a wake-up call from a zombie before I wake up naturally.

Either falling or lava, most times combine with my own stupidity.

My current cave is self-reliable, so I just hide in it.

I think falls kill me the most. Followed by getting caught on fire by falling near lava, I just run away from it and hope all my stuff doesn't burn. Then it would be gravel when I'm not being careful and just keep walking forward.

Oh, and I've been killed by a tree growing when I was on it, that was unexpected.

Mining Accidents mostly. Pro tip: When using ungodly amounts of TNT to remove mountains, *Always* use redstone triggers. You cannot run fast enough to get clear in five seconds.

Everything, everything kills me.

Minecraft hates me it's official.

Oh apart from ghasts I'm too scared to go to the neather on anything apart from peaceful.

I so far have never died from lava or falling, but creepers murder the shit out of me on a regular basis.

Now? nothing really. I went and turned the difficulty all the way up because I've got a pretty secure base/mine system and nothing really threatens me.

Earlier? got blown up by creepers a couple times.

try having the outside walls of your house at least 2 blocks away from your bed on all sides. Also/alternatively, put your bedroom on the second or third story of your house/keep/whatever.

I can usually survive everything in Minecraft. But then gravity decides it's time to remind me that I am not invincible and sends a zombie to give me a gentle "push".

Lava. It used to be falling, but then I decided "Hey, I have a house in the sky. But I don't have railings. Hmmmm, should I put in railings? Yeah...railings"
