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. Most 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).

Aim of the Game
Upon the introduction of Minecraft 1.0.0 (the first full release of Minecraft), it is possible to play "through" the game to a proper ending.


 * 1) The player is "born" in the overworld where he must learn to survive using the player's intuition.
 * 2) The player must search caves and canyons for specific items to survive his first night. These items include; food, wood, wool and although not necessary, cow hide.
 * 3) The player crafts his first tool which, under most (although not all) circumstances, will be a wooden pickaxe.
 * 4) The player builds a home featuring a bed, chests full of spare materials, a workbench, and a furnace.
 * 5) The player successfully finds a cave, canyon, or large underground opening which contains large deposits of usable minerals.
 * 6) The player finds and smelts iron ore into iron and uses it for tools, or if he has enough, possibly (but not necessarily) armor.
 * 7) The player strikes diamonds! While looking for diamonds it is important the player keep a level head as to his surroundings.
 * 8) The player goes on a search for Obsidian, which can occur naturally in some larger cavern systems.
 * 9) The player builds a portal to The Nether with the newly acquired Obsidian.
 * 10) The player appears in The Nether; a new world bereft of minerals which poses a new, scary threat to the players; Zombie Pigmen, Ghasts, and Blaze.
 * 11) The player attacked the Blaze creatures, killing them and collecting their Blaze Rods for use in potion brewing and to access the last challenge.
 * 12) The Player navigates safely and successfully through The Nether and returns to The Overworld, where his job is to find Endermen and kill them to obtain their Ender Pearls.
 * 13) The player constructs a peculiar item with unusual ghostly properties called an Eye of Ender, which when thrown will direct the player to the destination he knows he must go to now.
 * 14) 12 Eyes of Ender must be kept with you when you find what you are looking for. This is important.
 * 15) Once the 12 Eyes of Ender are in place, the portal will open and you will now meet your destiny.
 * 16) Once his most worthy adversary has been beaten, credits will roll and then, and only then, The Player will be teleported to his spawn location.

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:

'[chaotic.no-ip]
 * 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
The inventory and crafting was only introduced in the version while the 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 chicken egg throwing sounds, chicken egg laying sounds...

! Mobs can slip through fences.

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

-Sometimes when you go to destroy leaf blocks you can hear it being destroyed, but it doesn't disappear (but you can walk through them).
