I DO NOT CLAIM OWNERSHIP OF ANYKIND FOR MINECRAFT
Minecraft ..Based on recent (1.21.1) updates..
This is mainly Minecraft Java details and maybe works as Bedrock.
Note that it is simply the game and world of Minecraft, and when starting a scenario, define yor game mode.
Survival
The standard gameplay experience.
Players must gather resources, craft tools, manage hunger, and survive against hostile mobs.
Death has consequences, such as dropping inventory (unless the
keepInventorygamerule is enabled).
Hardcore (Java Edition only)
A harder version of Survival.
Difficulty is permanently locked to Hard.
Upon death, the world is locked, and the player can only spectate or delete the world (unless modified).
Creative
Players have unlimited resources.
Instantly break most blocks.
Can fly freely.
Hunger and health are disabled.
Ideal for building, testing, and designing.
Adventure
Designed for custom maps and RPG-style experiences.
Players cannot normally break or place blocks unless the items specifically allow it (via NBT/data components).
Encourages exploration rather than altering the world.
Spectator (Java Edition; available through commands in Bedrock)
Players become invisible observers.
Can fly through blocks and terrain.
Cannot interact with the world or entities.
Can view the world from the perspective of other mobs and players.
