Surviving in Adventure Mode can be hard.
The easiest way to survive is choosing Superflat instead of a normal world. This is because there are two ways to gain resources: killing mobs and collecting resources from NPC villages.
Setting up an Adventure World
Because Adventure Mode isn't avaible in the menu where you choose a gamemode, you will need to set up a (Superflat) Survival or Creative World.
Be sure to have cheats enabled!
Now type /gamemode username 2.
Surviving
- First of all, be sure to kill any mobs on your way (leave at least two passive mobs of each type for breeding later (see the sub-point below on creepers); sheep are kind of useless; you can't place anything at all in adventure, so don't even bother to craft a bed, though wool can be traded to villagers).
- Do not eat raw meat unless you're desperate; wait until you cook it in a furnace is an NPC village forge. You can also trade it for emeralds if you wish; however, this won't really achieve much in the long run, unless you save up for a diamond sword or armor. Villagers are known for being cheap; see the "trading" article for more information (leather for armor or for trading is also up to you to decide).
- Search for an NPC village (if the village does not have a forge or a library (a building with a crafting table and lots of bookshelves), search for another village). If it does, then lucky you (although NPC villages in superflat generally generate larger and with more houses, etc.); use the crafting table in the library for crafting and the two furnaces in the forge for cooking wood into charcoal (for raw meat).
- Empty the chest in the blacksmith (take the food and armor; saplings can be used as fuel). Use the lava as a trash can for useless stuff (such as dirt or obsidian) you find in the chest or obtained from creeper explosions (see below). You can use it for your own storage purposes.
- If the village is big enough, there are enough villagers, and you have enough armor and preparation, you can kill the iron golem for its iron ingots (roses are useless).
- One extremely useful tactic is to get creepers to blow up a house or farm in an NPC village; this way, you can get wood, wooden planks, wheat (which can be used to breed animals or crafted into bread, though seeds cannot be replanted), and cobblestone (dirt and other materials are useless, since you cannot place or destroy blocks in adventure; only blocks that are used in crafting or for trading can be useful).
- If you are lucky and have enough supplies, you can get creepers to blow up gravel and craft flint and steel, which can serve as a great weapon (or arrows, although this is probably unnecessary because they can be obtained by killing skeletons. Note: bone meal may be used on pre-mature wheat, since that counts as "interacting with a block or object," though the wheat cannot be harvested, except through creeper explosions).
- A Fishing Pole can also be useful (the well is exactly 4 blocks deep and can be used for an infinite supply of fish, which can be cooked or traded). You can also use it as an inefficient way to lure passive mobs that have wandered off (use wheat instead).
- Once you are done with a village, take as many useful items as you can from your chest and head off for the next village. Repeat above steps if necessary and see how long you can survive!
