Survival



Survival mode is one of the main game modes in Minecraft. Players must collect resources, build structures, battle mobs, manage hunger, and explore the world in an effort to thrive and survive.

$$, players may receive achievements in a world not set to Flat while playing Survival Mode with cheats off and host privileges off. And If a player creates a world in creative mode and then loads it in Survival Mode, the player cannot earn achievements in that world. In Minecraft Survival, the goal is to build a house, explore, and have fun.

Gameplay


In Survival, players have an inventory for gathering 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. Some items cannot be obtained by crafting normally and require a furnace for processing. Various other crafting stations exist for advanced uses, such as brewing, repairing, and enchanting.



In Survival mode, the player is able to receive damage from the environment and from hostile mobs (unless playing on peaceful, where hostile mobs are disabled). A player who receives enough damage dies and returns to the spawn point.

If cheats are enabled, a player can switch to Survival mode by using the command.

Goals


Despite being marketed as a game with no pre-determined goals, Minecraft does have a basic structure, that of a scavenger hunt. While striving to build and expand shelters, players collect various items and resources to add to their capabilities, attacks, and defenses, with many items enabling access to others. Over time, the player can travel to other dimensions to attain new goals.

The player can reach a "proper ending" in Survival mode by defeating the ender dragon, but this does not actually terminate play; it provides a trophy item (dragon egg), a huge amount of experience, triggers the "end poem" and leaves the End dimension open for exploration. There is also an optional boss, the wither, which becomes accessible in the mid- to late game. The player can also take up any purposes of their own design; one common goal is to fulfill all of the predefined achievements (Advancements in Java Edition). Oceans also invite exploration, as they have corals, monuments, and adapted creatures like guardians and drowned.

Survival singleplayer
Survival singleplayer is the original and default game mode of Minecraft. Singleplayer may be played online or offline, as long as the player has played the game at least once in order to allow the game files to be downloaded to their computer.

Survival multiplayer (SMP)


Survival multiplayer allows multiple players to connect to a central Minecraft server. This enables them to interact with one another and work together (or against one another) in order to achieve their Survival goals.
