What are the different Minecraft gamemodes?
Survival Mode
The default Minecraft experience is Survival Mode.
You are also vulnerable to damage from enemies and the environment.
Creative Mode
While in Creative Mode you are invulnerable and cannot be attacked or damaged.
Creative Mode is therefore perfect for building, planning, and exploring.
Spectator Mode
Spectator Mode, as you might have guessed, is ideal for spectating other players.
No placing or breaking blocks, no damaging or interacting withMinecraft mobs, players, or items.
You’re there to observe, nothing more.
That’s everything we know about gamemodes and how to change between them in Minecraft.
