Choose how you want to play

You'll be able to choose between different difficulty levels that make the game develop differently depending on each case, requiring that we carry out certain actions or others. In other words, you can play in an environment full of action or a much more peaceful setting in which your only mission is to explore and build.

• Creative: build and explore. There's no need to worry about your survival.
• Hardcore: in the survival mode you can die and revive as many times as you want. Not here. You've only got one life so look after it.
• Spectator: a peculiar mode as you can fly around exploring worlds but you can't interact with them. You can also explore them from the point of view of other gamers and creatures.
• Adventure: it's the game mode for those that aren't concerned about the online version. You have to face up against dangers, explore and other actions, but there are certain conditions such as breaking blocks only with the right tools.
