I have been playing on and off again since alpha. Lately I have been playing survival mode in peaceful. I enjoy mining for my goods that I use to build with, but don't want to deal with all the monsters destroying my place, hunger, or just all around fighting monsters and lava. The only thing I miss is probably TnT for clearing large rooms, but that does kind of feel like it is taking away from all the other work I do in mining everything else I use. I am debating just using /give for that though. Anyone else play similarly?
Normally when I play alone, I have it on peaceful for like, the first night or so, just until I get reasonable stuff. Then I turn it to easy. When I get iron stuff, I turn it to Medium, and when I enter the Nether for the first time, I turn it to hard.
Meh, as for playing with friends, we just have it on hard the whole time and it's fun seeing your best mates eaten by zombies ;).
Not really. Unless I'm in creative, I feel it takes away from the Minecraft experience. I appreciate the challenges that comes with leaving it on normal or hard—though I can understand why some people prefer otherwise. I used to always leave it on peaceful a long time ago, but those were the days when I was actually terrified of the monsters, haha.
I have areas in my Survival world where I choose to fight the monsters, such as at carefully prepared mob spawner rooms and in the Nether, but apart from that I normally play on peaceful, as I don't want my carefully crafted buildings and constructions to be wiped out by some random encounter with a creeper. This way I still get the resources such as gunpowder and blaze rods, but can enjoy my base area in safety.
In my current world, I've even found a double spawner, both a spider and skeleton spawner in close proximity, and I enveloped them into a single battle room. I have no shortage of bones and string now, haha. Eventually I plan to replace the spawner rooms with a mob grinder, such as this one by iCocaBeans.
I regularly copy my survival world savegame file onto a USB flash drive, then rename it and copy it back to my Xbox 360 console in Creative mode so that I can test things out in advance. For instance, when I start building that mob grinder in the video above, I'll test it in Creative mode first, to avoid asking the questtion that I see so often in YouTube comments: "does this still work in TUxx?" Suck it and see!

Hi, I'm Augur and I'm from New Zealand (NZ). Just call me "Augur". I'm an older person playing Minecraft Xbox 360 Legacy Console Edition without Xbox Gold (no online gaming, sorry), so please don't hate on the old. 😄

That's actually what I was going to do. I thought about that last night when I was looking at similar videos to the one you posted. That would also actually solve my problem with annoyance of the hunger mechanic.
I feel it takes away from the Minecraft experience.
See I saw someone else post somewhere that the thing about Minecraft is you can pretty much play it however you want. It is a highly customizable game, especially with mods like forge or bucket.
I seriously considered it once, but I would miss my blaze grinders, and guardian farms, not to mention that when I first start a new world I need zombie villagers to cure to start my iron golem farm and trading post. And how would I be able to mend my tools, weapons, and armor without a blaze grinder to get XP to apply to the mending enchantment?
The best way I've found to avoid the annoyance of MOBs bothering me is to spam torches everywhere within a few chunks of my base. Or once I have my guardian farm going, to plant sea lanterns in the ground every 5th block on the diagonal, (or, equivalently, every 10th block on the orthogonal.) In grassy areas I put the sea lanterns in the ground and cover them with green carpet. They blend in better with the grass, but still light up the area. I'm also a big fan of walls and fences to keep MOBs out.

I like playing in Peaceful, although I also will switch back to Easy or Normal, from time to time. I get upset often when it has been raining forever, and then I sometimes take my frustration out by going Peaceful and just mining away or caving.
I can fight off mobs, but when we travel for thousands of blocks to find a stronghold and a creeper lands the cheapest kill EVER on me, I hate having to run and swim as fast as I can to get there. When I build epic stuff on my house or am just doing chores, exploring, etc. I just prefer fighting mobs in chosen situations, not when I am mining or building and a creeper blows the front end of my house into the great blue yonder. I actually like melee combat on PS4 better... no attack cooldowns... no attacking a creeper with a sharpness 5 diamond sword and it still takes 7 hits to kill...I love PS4 minecraft. I also d not like the asthetic look of torches being spammed EVERYWHERE in front of your house. It makes everything look ugly. I put my torches down in a way that lights an area up, yet looks nice.

ROFL, hey! I did that in like the beta ok! It was a long time ago! That screenshot is not representative of my current building style (yeah, it's mine).
I will admit that I still spam a huge number of torches, but they're on the ground where they belong and not the walls of my buildings! Generally speaking...
Not long before the screenshot that Optimus posted was taken, I was switching back and forth between peaceful and normal. That screenshot was actually from my first entirely hard difficulty world. I didn't quite understand spawning mechanics 6 years ago and actually thought the torches on the walls were helping to prevent mob spawns somehow... Lol, the good ole days...
Now I play on hard/hardcore only, as xadan_MC said.

This forum has made me decide that I now want kids, so that when they get old enough, I can forbid them from coming here. it's a terrible place.
Most of the time I leave it on hard mode, but when I'm mining for quartz in the nether or working on a really big project, I will set it to peaceful just so I don't deal with hassles. I also put it on peaceful when i'm moving villagers around outside to prevent them from being killed by zombies.
Sometimes when I put it on peaceful mode, I have a tendency to leave it as such for longer than expected. It nice once in a while to have a little stress-free play.
I also like how you can still get most achievements in peaceful mode that don't require killing mobs. Ender Dragon fight without stupid endermen, at least after defeating it the first time on another difficulty. Or exploring end cities without those crappy shulkers. No shame in it. Not everyone needs a challenge to have fun.
Nothing shameful or wrong about peaceful mode. I'd probably play on peaceful, too, if it weren't for the fact that the hostile mobs drop some good stuff sometimes, and that my zombie xp grinder wouldn't work. I like peaceful mode. I can play without worrying about sunset, and afk anywhere, without worrying about getting attacked.

monsters usually arenot an issue unless its hardcore mode. but to me that just makes it more fun

I'm not really scared of them. I just find them annoying. Same with the hunger mechanic.

I used to, but I stopped when I found out Elder Guardians are deleted this way.
Watch out for the crabocalypse. Some say the day will never come. But it will.
Feel free to drop by for a chat whenever.
If you'd like to talk with me about other games, here are a few I play.
Team Fortress 2
Borderlands series (Borderlands 2 is my favorite game, ever. TPS combat is a lot of fun and makes up for the lower-quality story, in my opinion)
Elder Scrolls series
Warframe (IGN is something like That_One_Flesh_Atronach)
Pokémon series (HGSS forever)
Rocket League
Fallout series
Left 4 Dead 2 (Boomer files always corrupt though)
SUPERHOT (SUPERHOT is the most innovative shooter I've played in years!)
Dead Rising series (Dead Rising 2 is one of my favorite games, and the 3rd was a lot of fun. 1st has poor survivor AI and the 4th is bad)
Just Cause series
Come to think of it, I mainly play fighting-based games.

i just beat the dragon in hardcore mode
I have seen this posted before. What's so great about Elder Guardians? Their drops don't look all that good.

First, they drop sponges. Those always help. It's mainly because I like to fight them, though.
