Survival

Survival mode is the game mode of Minecraft in which players can collect resources, build structures, battle mobs, fight hunger, and explore the land. It is currently the main focus in the development of Minecraft, being the only playable game mode in Beta until 1.8 with the reintroduction of Creative.

In Survival, players have an inventory in which they may gather items. These items may be combined using certain recipes to create Tools and other Items. This process is known as crafting. Some crafting recipes need a crafting table. Players are also able to create potions by brewing.

Survival Single Player (SSP)
Survival Single Player is the original game mode of Minecraft. Until mid-Alpha, SSP was the only available mode besides Classic creative mode. SSP may be played online or offline, as long as the user has initially played it while connected to the Internet (which allows game files to download to his or her computer). In this mode, the user is the only human presence in the game.

Survival MultiPlayer (SMP)
Survival MultiPlayer is played by users who connect to a central Minecraft server. This enables them to interact with other users.

Multiplayer Servers
Due to the large number of Minecraft servers, different resource sites offer lists of the different Multiplayer servers:


 * Minecraft-server-list.com (Classic + Survival list)
 * Minecraft.dk/mcserverlist (Survival list)
 * Mcserverlist.net (Classic + Survival list)
 * List.mcmyadmin.com (Survival list)
 * Minecraftmonitor.com Create your own server tool

The Minecraft site also contains a server list for Classic servers. However, a Server List in the multiplayer join screen was introduced in Beta 1.8. This does not have a full server list, however, it does save servers, ping them, and can tell you the number of players online and the maximum players online.

History
This game mode was introduced on 4th of August, 2009 in Survival Test under Classic. During this time, players experienced permadeath, meaning they could not respawn and the level needed to be restarted unless a save file had been created.

The inventory and crafting was only introduced in the Indev version while the Infdev version features infinite map generation. This version also drops the permadeath feature allowing the player to respawn. The Alpha version improved the map generation by introducing biomes.

The Multiplayer variant of this game mode also took place in the Alpha version. Originally, Notch had only allowed a limited number of people from the Minecraft IRC channel to participate in the first tests of SMP. These invitees could invite other people to test out this mode; however the password was leaked and the server was quickly filled up. Notch released the first version of the SMP server software on the 4th of August, 2010. The client was updated so that players could enter the IP of a server to join it.

Known Bugs
! Several sound instances are missing: other player footstep and block placing sounds, other player/skeleton bow sounds, fishing rod, snowball and egg throwing sounds, ambiance, chicken egg laying sounds...

! Mobs can slip through fences.

! Knockback is calculated incorrectly: Drowning and Fire damage is not supposed to deal downwards knockback.

! Hostile mobs stop spawning after a certain amount of playing. They don't spawn anywhere in the game unless a new world is made.
