Survival mode – default minecraft gameplay
In this Minecraft gamemode, players are thrown into a randomly generated world where they must fend for themselves. Their health, hunger, experience and oxygen are enabled and the player can die if they run out of these resources or if they encounter hostile mobs.
There are three different difficulty settings: Peaceful, Easy and Normal. Each of these levels has its own rules and restrictions.
First of all, make sure to build a shelter to protect from monsters. It’s also a good idea to keep a close eye on your hunger bar and your health bar. If one of these depletes, your character will die and re-spawn in a different location on the map, so you’ll need to take care not to eat too much.
Second, make sure to clean up after yourself. If you’re using the main survival map, don’t leave 1×1 sky pillars or open pegaholes, as these can be dangerous for other players to find!
Third, don’t be afraid to explore. The game has a variety of mobs, and many of them are very specialized.
For instance, ender dragons are docile and will not attack you; cave spiders only poison you and can be killed with the appropriate item; slimes are green and relatively rare, but they’ll follow a player around and attack when near enough.
Finally, be sure to be polite when interacting with other players. It’s always a good idea to leave a player with space to grow and build their base, but it’s equally important to be friendly when entering another player’s base.
