Battle Mode
Battle Mode is a game very similar to the popular server game Hunger Games, often played on servers in other versions of the game. Battle Mode has a variety of other differences as well, such as the following: a fifteen second grace period, chests can refill over time, TNT will be instantly ignited once placed, after a certain point a "Showdown" mode will activate, as well as a timer at the top of the game is reaching its time limit. In addition, pressing the back button will view the players in the game, who is alive, and the number of kills each player got. 8 players (4 on PlayStation Vita) can join the world depending on the settings. If the game is public, other people that are not friends with you can join your world. Offline games, however, can be only used for split screen (4 players). There are two types of games: Casual and Competitive. Casual games allow all player skins and some other features relating to spectators. Competitive games do not allow player skins that are smaller or do not display certain armor. Spectators are invisible in competitive games unless in Casual Mode, where they appear as bats and can squeak. Spectators cannot fly through blocks but can fit through one block tall spaces and can teleport to any living players in the game.

When you first start a game and after every round you will be teleported to the main lobby. In the main lobby you will take no damage and have the opportunity to explore it. If you are lucky, you might be able to find the five Easter eggs as you explore, with each one rewarding you with a different mob (creeper, wither skeleton, skeleton, zombie) or player head for the battle. (Tumble included)

Loot
All Loot comes from the chests in Battle Mode.

Maps
Since TU44, there are only 17 maps in Battle Mode; more is to be added in the future until the mid summer of 2017. Each map comes with its own themed builds and music, often based on the texture pack used. (Note: You cannot change the texture pack or music you are using when playing Battle Mode). Players can only play on the first three maps mentioned unless they buy the Season Pass or other respective Battle Map Packs.

 * Frontier (Default): "It's high noon! Things are about to get wild in the Old West, so grab a fistful of TNT, slap on a sou'wester and prepare for an almighty dustbowl dust-up between the good, the bad, and the ugly."
 * Dig (Default):"A snowbound excavation site lies deserted. What unspeakable things did the scientists discover beneath the ice? Find out for yourself, while battling against both the elements and each other!"

Tumble
Added in the August 30th, 2016, Tumble is more or less an official variation of the popular user-generated game called "Spleef".

Much like Spleef, the object of the game is to be knock Blocks out from under the other players while standing your own ground. The last person standing on the platform is the winner and the game cycles to the next map. In one mode of Tumble, players stand on a single, massive platform and attempt to destroy their opponents' footing with an Iron Shovel. In the other mode, there are three tiers of platforms which players must dig out from each other using Snowballs.

Unlike traditional Spleef, all blocks can be broken with one hit of a Shovel (much like when in Creative Mode) or Snowball -- the sole exception being TNT blocks, which act as both pitfalls for unaware players as well as time-bombs which can be used to destroy the ground lower platforms (in tiered mode). Tip: You can mine blocks with snowballs.

Gliding
Added in March 28th, 2017, Gliding is an elytra race thouth maps. There are two game modes, with one exclusive option:
 * Time mode
 * Score mode
 * Solo game
