Survival on a latest full release version, without mods, texture packs, custom maps or sitting around building complex contraptions or builds. Just playing survival like you would before all that got implemented. Building only for purpose, rarely for aesthetics or scale, exploring for thousands of blocks all around spawn, not going to the nether cause it's too scary...
last time i played true vanilla was on my own server! its a modest little survival server and could use some hard core survivalists if your in heres the
I play vanilla all the time. However, I love building for aesthetics, love building contraptions, and while I don't like the nether it is useful for fast travel. Maybe if you should rephrase the question when have you played like you did in Alpha, but even then people made contraptions and tried to make things look interesting.
I use mods but they have no effect on my playstyle; my vanilla first main world is still by far my most amazing world in term of how much I explored; it fully justifies all the threads complaining about too many caves, iron (even diamonds!) too easy to find, etc. As for the mods I currently use they can be thought of as "vanilla" mods, meaning that they don't add anything that isn't a variant of something in vanilla; for example, a double chest size Ender chest is still an Ender chest, just with more storage). I also did use some "non-vanilla" mods for a while (backpacks, minimap) but I currently don't use any "non-vanilla" items (not that Forge could even work with my mods). Even some of the biomes I added are basically rip-offs of biomes added to vanilla in 1.7 (mesa, birch forest, mega taiga, etc, although not all exactly the same; my "mega taiga" contains even bigger trees than vanilla; mesa biomes contain "dead" leafless big oak trees in addition to dead bushes and cacti, the clay colors are generated differently) and another feature I added, cave openings in deserts and mesas, has been added in a snapshot (after I added it, although likely just a coincidence; caves in deserts are also decorated with sand floors and sandstone walls with ores in them, instead of just cutting through stone/sandstone/sand and no ores in sandstone).
That's all i do besides minigame servers. I don't like mods/texture packs and i will never use them. People ask "don't you get bored?" eventually yes, when i do i just get off minecraft.Anyways my answer is basically anyday i play minecraft
I'd say nice builds and clever contraptions are what vanilla is about. The survival aspect of vanilla is pretty easy - what you can do while managing the limits of survival is what the game is about.
Like MasterCaver, I play with a relatively small set of mods that plays pretty much like vanilla. The changes I do make I really want and at this point I only play vanilla when I'm playing multiplayer with my son or with visitors.

Last time I TRULY played Vanilla was when 1.7.2 came out. And even then, that was only until some of the mods I liked started to update to that version.

I've played on servers alot lately... But i never play with mods because its just doesnt feel quite like minecraft. Probably I played vanilla 1 week ago.
The only mods I've really ever use are to up the difficulty. Everyone eventually feels like they dominate their world, right? All you do is get iron armor and tools and you're good to go. If you say what I'm playing isn't vanilla, I'd say some particular words in my vocabulary that shouldn't be posted here, lest I get banned.

If you're not in vanilla, you have 1 or more mods contained in Minecraft.

I'm the same, although I do use a resource pack.
I just got bored with it and decided to play with mods.
TheMasterCaver's First World - possibly the most caved-out world in Minecraft history - includes world download.
TheMasterCaver's World - my own version of Minecraft largely based on my views of how the game should have evolved since 1.6.4.
Why do I still play in 1.6.4?
