Survival

Survival mode is the second released game mode of Minecraft in which players must build structures and fight to survive. It is currently the main focus in the development of Minecraft, being the only playable game mode in Beta until 1.8. However Creative has been reintroduced since this update. Players can build shelters and weapons to fend off enemy mobs that will spawn to make their lives harder.

Blocks cannot be placed unless the player has first gathered them. Players also have an inventory so they have more space to gather items, which they are able to combine together using certain arrangements to create new objects. This process is known as crafting. Some crafting recipes need a crafting table. Players are also able to mine underground to look for precious minerals.

Survival Single Player (SSP)
Survival Single Player was the original Minecraft experience in Story Mode.

But then along came a spider.

Survival Multiplayer (SMP)


Survival Multiplayer was originally an offshoot of the original Minecraft experience, but has evolved to be the focus of development. Any multiplayer Minecraft server is generally assumed to be SMP unless explicitly stated.

Multiplayer Servers
Due to the large number of Minecraft servers, different resource sites offer lists of the different Multiplayer servers out there. Some of the known lists are: - Minecraft-server-list.com (Classic + Survival list) - Minecraft.dk/mcserverlist (Survival list) - Mcserverlist.net (Classic + Survival list) - List.mcmyadmin.com (Survival list)

The Minecraft site also contains a server list for Classic servers. However, it is possible for a Beta server list to come in 1.8.
