Survival is the second released game mode of Minecraft. Anyone can play it regardless of premium membership. It is an early version of the game's survival mode, and was succeeded by Indev as a survival test game. Survival mode is now under "Minecraft Classic" and cannot be found by links on the official Minecraft site. If you wish to play it, click here.

Exclusive Features

  • View bobbing for more realistic moving, plus 3D anaglyph for trippy 3D.
  • Health bar with 10 hearts. When your health is low, the bar begins to shake.
  • 7 mobs; the Zombie, the Skeleton (drops arrows), the Creeper, the Pig (which drops food), the Spider, the Sheep (which drops cloth and food) and the Cow, which drops leather and milk (not usable yet).
  • You can shoot Arrows (use Tab Key to fire)
  • You can see the block you are carrying, and you're able to use it as a melee weapon. If you don't have one, your arm is visible. A custom player skin will be on the arm if the player has one.
    • Right clicking with a brown mushroom gives you two and a half hearts. Right clicking with a red and white one will inflict one and a half hearts.
  • A new tesselator to speed up the game.
  • You can now drown in water after 15 seconds. In lava, every second you lose 5 hearts.
    • After you get out, you continue to burn at 1/2 heart per second during 10 seconds until you find water.

Points

Some aspects of the point system are listed below:

  • Both Sheep and Pigs award only 10 points when killed.
  • Zombies award 80 points.
  • Spiders award 105.
  • Skeletons award 120.
  • Creepers award 200. (It was once 250).

Additionally, you do not score points for indirect killing (I.E. blowing up a creeper which kills a zombie doesn't give you the zombie's points).
