Everything you want to know about Minecraft

Minecraft is a sandbox game where you can choose between survival mode,creative mode,or hardcore mode. Info on these three modes is below.

__**Survival Mode**__
In Survival, players have an inventory in which they may gather items. These items may be combined using certain recipes to create tools and other Items. This process is known as crafting. Some crafting recipes need a crafting table. Players are also able to create potions by brewing.
 * //Survival mode//** is the game mode of Minecraft in which players can collect resources, build structures, battle mobs, fight hunger, and explore the land. It is currently the main focus in the development of Minecraft, being the only playable game mode in Beta until 1.8 with the reintroduction of Creative.

__**Creative mode**__
Players are given an infinite amount of most blocks to build with and no health or damage to worry about. Taking advantage of this, players can create large constructions such as castles, roads, water fountains, and much more along with forms of artwork called pixel art. Not only have users designed buildings, pixel art and caves, but also mini-sports, such as Spleef. Also, players can fly.
 * Creative** mode is one of the main game modes in Minecraft. It is playable in both premium and Classic and singleplayer and multiplayer versions of the game. The Creative game mode allows you to build and destroy blocks in a manner in which you can build any sort of structure you would like.

__**Hardcore Mode**__

 * Hardcore mode** is a Minecraft Game Mode that is a variant of Survival, differing primarily by the lack of the abilities to respawn (instead, the world is deleted) and change difficulty. The mode was introduced in Beta 1.9 Pre-Release 2 and officially added in Minecraft 1.0. The idea came to Notch from a Minecraft gameplay blog on the PCGamer site.

__**Super-flat Mode**__
Here are some easy steps to survive Super-Flat

Step 1: Find A Village and Get Settled
First, after the map renders, look around your spawn point for a village. If there is one, run toward it. If there is not, run in one direction until you see a village. This should take about 1~5 minutes. Note that slimes spawn incredibly commonly, so do your best to dodge them as you run toward the village. Your first priority in Minecraft is always getting Wood. The only source of Wood in a Super-Flat map is in the houses of the NPC Villages. Once you get to the village, check all of the big houses. The ones with books in them typically have a crafting table. If you can't find a crafting table, break down part of a house to make a crafting table, and then a wooden pickaxe. Get some stone tools. Three Stone Swords, a pickaxe, and a shovel should be enough. Actually, once you get to the village, raid all blacksmith shops for the chests (because of tools) and run around and kill mobs (unless there is an Iron Golem in the village.) Blacksmith shops also occasionally contain saplings in their chests, so you can use those as a renewable source of wood. With the addition of Iron Golems in 12w08a, you can kill them in order to gain a renewable source of iron. Take some of the wool off the lamps too, if you come across any, and make a Bed if possible. A Bed will come in handy later. You'll also get Torches from the wool, which will come in handy. If you want, harvest some Wheat for bread. It should be nighttime, or becoming nighttime, by now. Go hunting for String and Arrows. A Bow will help later.

Step 2: Making a Portal
So, you've passed the night. Look in your village for a blacksmith shop. Blacksmiths have chests inside them containing Iron, Armor, Apples, Diamonds, Obsidian, things like that. If you find a blacksmith, raid the chest inside. Mark your current NPC village: this will be your main base for making the Portal. If you have any Obsidian, place it down. If you got a Bucket from the chest, or if you have enough Iron to make a Bucket, collect some Water and make Obsidian with the lava placed in the Blacksmith. This part of Super Flat survival is incredibly boring, but neccessary. You'll need to: - Find a new village.

- Raid all the blacksmiths there, and take the lava in the smelting areas.

- Run back to your marked village.

- Build your Nether portal more with the lava you collected and with the Obsidian you collected (if any).

- Repeat until portal is completed.

This usually takes a solid two hours to complete. Now you'll need to light the Portal. If, somehow, lightning strikes your portal and lights it up, good for you. Otherwise, make a Flint'n'Steel to light it. (You should have at least an Iron Ingot, after all, you've raided several villages and killed many Iron Golems!) Bring the bare minimums with you: some armor, a few swords and pickaxes, some torches, and a bow. Leave everything in a chest. Sleep in your bed to set your spawn, just in case. Go into the Nether now.

Step 3: Endgame Things
It should be pretty obvious what you're doing in the Nether. Find a Nether Fortress, and get some Blaze Rods, as well as some Nether Wart. These will be of no use to you, as you cannot make potions: they are mostly for completion of survival, if you know what I mean. Get some Glowstone too. That's really all there is to survival. You can make an enchanting table from your diamonds and obsidian, if you have some. You are relatively well settled within your Super-Flat world. An inventory editor can be used to spawn in an end portal. In normal survival, Most of the challenge of the Ender Dragon is finding the Stronghold and collecting Ender Pearls. In Superflat, the challenge is amassing enough materials to make the weapons and armor necessary to fight the Ender Dragon.
