Demo Mode



Demo mode is a demo version of Minecraft for users who have not purchased the game yet and would like to try it out first. Demo mode is very similar in functionality to the outdated PC Gamer Minecraft demo.

If you would like to try Minecraft before deciding to make a purchase, you can play the demo by registering an account, and clicking "play the demo" to play in the browser, or download the Minecraft game client (launcher) and log into your non-premium Minecraft account, then clicking the option to play the demo mode. This version of the game is 100 minutes long, or five in-game days. Not only is this useful to see if you will enjoy the game, but it is a great way to make sure your PC can handle the game as well.

Restrictions
The following restrictions apply when playing the game in demo mode: However, deleting the level.dat file will reset the timer. It will also provide a new bonus chest.
 * Only one preset world ("Demo_World") with the same seed ("North Carolina") can be played. Any world generation options, such as the world type, seed and structures, are disabled.
 * Survival is the only available game mode. (Without level.dat editors or using /gamemode.)
 * Multiplayer is disabled (but players can open the game to LAN, which can then activate some of the other modes).
 * The game time is limited to five days (1 hour and 40 minutes real time). After the time runs out, players can still navigate though the world, but not interact with it. Resetting the demo world also resets the demo timer.

Landscape
Because the geography of the demo world never changes, users can post the locations of various landmarks. These can help act as a "guide" for new Minecrafters who are exploring the demo.
