SURVIVAL-ISH

Play the way you want to play! Sandbox mode gives you unlimited resources, but you can also choose to tweak Survival mode – but only when you first create the world. You can turn off enemies, hunger, stamina and whether you need to worry about temperature extremes! You can even play with that old Minecraft staple: keep inventory!

IT TAKES A VILLAGE

Make use of the villagers that come to stay in your town! They’re great to take out exploring with you as they’ll fight anything that comes along and if they die they’ll soon find their way back to you. You can only bring one villager on quests, however, so be sure to give jobs to any others in your town.

HUNGER GAMES

Be sure to build a grill as early as you can. It’s a great way to cook meals that do more than just fix your hunger. Grilled meat, for instance, will heal two hearts as well as filling eight hunger. Other meals boost stamina regeneration. You don’t need fuel to use the grill either, just the ingredients!
