Talk:Survival

Page Content
I'm not sure this page accurately reflects the current state of the survival game mode. If someone new to Minecraft came and read this page, they would be thoroughly confused. I think it needs to be clearly stated in the article that this is currently the _only_ "game mode" of Minecraft; that it's been in development, and the focus of development, for quite some time; and features such as "players sustain damage from falling" are not exactly recent developments. --Theothersteve7 17:19, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

Zeppelin 'bug'
Please can we stop editing this article or have an admin lock this page for a while? I've added a citation needed tag for now in order to try and balance both sides but I see this page being wrecked before long. --Itxi 20:21, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

Survival is the best gamemode for beginners am I right?!!!ChaosThePerfect 21:55, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Depends what kind of game you want to play -- Minecraft is really several games in one. If you want to have a game with at least some tension in it -- that is, "gotta find food and keep yourself safe", and maybe "gotta fight monsters", that's Survival.  (The "maybe" there would be Peaceful difficulty, vs. Easy or Normal.)  If you just want to look around and build stuff, without worrying about safety, that's Creative.  --Mental Mouse 12:23, 6 February 2013 (UTC)

Size of world, Use of maps
How big is the world?

I have 12 maps and am fitting them together. Is there a way to publish the maps as a (guide) book? Is there a way to craft a world map that uses maps of the known world? Any insights are appreciated. 74.111.52.202 04:00, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
 * For fitting maps together and combining them, you might go to Mods and poke through the "External Tools" section. "Publishing" maps out of game has little point beyond showing off, because every game is different.  AFAIK there's no "map book" planned for vanilla (it's been suggested multiple times in various places), but there's probably a mod or few that provides such a thing.  --Mental Mouse 12:30, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
