Creative

Creative mode is one of the two Game Modes in Minecraft. It is currently only playable in the Classic version and will be released for the Beta version on release of the Adventure Update.

Unlike Beta, Alpha and The Full Version (not yet released), Creative Mode is free.

Creative game mode allows you to build/destroy blocks in a manner in which you can build any sort of object you would like.

Players are given an infinite amount of each block to build with and no health or damage to worry about. Taking advantage of this, players can create large constructions such as castles, roads, buildings and skywalks, water fountains, and much more along with forms of artwork called Pixel Art. Not only have users designed buildings, Pixel Art, and caves, but also mini-sports. Using the current in-game features, users have put them to clever use. A popular Minecraft sport is Spleef.

Minecraft classic may be played by going to the Minecraft website and clicking "Classic".

Not all blocks are in Classic as some of them were added in Beta. Some examples are diamond, wool, torch, glowstone, redstone, doors, and many more. Also, many of the features of survival mode are not available in creative, such as crafting, items, smelting, and many more.

It has been confirmed a creative mode will be added to Beta on Notch's twitter, most likely durning the Beta 1.8 Adventure update. It will include "limited flying", and will be accessible to moderators on servers running other game modes.
