Don't get me wrong. I love survival, finding caves, gathering food, spelunking in ravines. That is a totally valid way to play. But when I'm trying to build a cathedral or castle, I do that in creative. You can't fly in survival and it takes forever to build and gather resources which makes it prohibitive for building crazy structures.
True but I do like to build at least my version of a modest Minecraft house in survival mode. In my opinion, it makes things a bit interesting and also gives me a sense of achievement- like I did something. I also like to have a farm/ranch as well.
I know what you mean. Whenever I build a cool structure in creative. I don't put anything in it. Then, when I set it to survival, I immediately go out and cut down a tree and kill a couple of sheep, so I can make a bed, crafting table, chests, and torches.Its all cake from there. Aside from the building, my favorite part of the game is exploring vast caves. Sometimes I keep expanding my tunnels deeper and further down until I come upon a cave. That is oddly satisfying also. Do you ever experiment with the various texture packs?
