Adventure

Adventure Mode, formerly Dungeons and Levers could be an upcoming game mode. Currently, focus on Adventure is an update to the base game, not a separate mode. .

Notch has said that the Adventure update (or similar) will come in Beta 1.7. Note that this is not necessarily Adventure Mode, but instead a way to "flesh out the game a bit, making it reward exploration and combat more". It is rumored that Notch may add some promised updates into adventure mode like dragons, goblin or pigman villages, and sea monsters. In Beta 1.7, something that has to do with the world in Minecraft will be changed, marked by the * instead of + (addition) or - (removal)

Features

 * Will have programmable maps, buttons, pressure plates and levers.
 * Possibly not being able to place or destroy blocks
 * Numerous randomly generated dungeons using a similar code from the current dungeon generator.
 * Possibly a map editor similar to the one in Minecraft Classic.
