Adventure

Adventure Mode, formerly Dungeons and Levers, is an upcoming game mode.

Not much is known yet on what Adventure Mode will include. It is likely that Adventure Mode will increase the distinction between the Survival and Adventure modes, making Survival more like the beta Minecraft, where the object is only to build and survive.

It is a possibility that Adventure Mode will include permadeath like Hardcore mode, making it rogue-like in nature.

The "Adventure Update" spanned updates 1.8-1.10 and was meant to be an update to "flesh" out the game. Adventure Mode should not be confused with the "Adventure Update". The release date for Adventure Mode is currently unknown.

Features

 * It will have programmable maps, buttons, pressure plates and levers
 * Blocks cannot be placed or destroyed
 * Numerous randomly generated dungeons using a similar code from the current dungeon generator
 * There may be an update to combat making it more complex (critical strike,defending...)
 * There is blocking and critical hits in 1.8.1 so it will probably be in adventure mode but   maybe with better animations.
