What are Minecraft Modes, and Why Would You Change them?

In Minecraft, every mode has different difficulty levels and surprises. So let’s look at all the modes available in the game and find their uniqueness.

1. Creative:

In creative mode, you have complete control of the game, and you can craft anything or travel everywhere because creative mode was made so that players can get familiar with the game. You can attack the mobs in this mode, but they can’t kill you.

2. Survival:

Survival Mode can be considered as the second level of the game. Here, you will face some challenges, and as the name suggests, you have to survive in this mode. Here you have to face the mobs, and mobs can kill you in this mode.

3. Adventure:

Adventure mode has limited features in comparison with Creative and Survival modes. This mode is designed in such a way that you can explore the world without affecting the environment. You will not be able to fly in this mode. This mode is more complicated than the other two.

4. Spectator:

The spectator is one of the most exciting modes in Minecraft’s world. In this mode, payers are allowed to pass through the blocks, and blocks are invisible and transparent. Players can neither create the blocks nor break them. Also, players can see the world from a mob’s POV (Point of View) by just left-clicking on them.

5. Hardcore:

Hardcore mode is only available for the Java edition. This mode is purely for the pro players who want extra challenges in their gameplay. In this mode, players have only one life; if they get eliminated once, they can’t respawn.

Tip: If you’re stuck underground and can’t jump out, switch to Spectator mode and fly to the land surface.
