I think people are really just taking this too seriously.
I'm kinda glad that it's been hinted that 1.8 will be the update that modding update. Obviously a lot of popular, and a lot of unpopular things are coming. It seems less and less like people can actually agree on what features people like (just listen to the intelligent folks here calling people "wimps" and threatening to kill them simply because they might influence mojang to make something not work the way *they* want, and also listen to the people like me stating "I hope it's optional"). Modding just might be able to close this gap once and for all.
I'm assuming there is going to be a hardcore mode. However, if only a survival mode and creative mode are kept, then I'm alright with that. You will be able to toggle between the two, if you want to.
Having to survive in survival mode only makes sense. Games need a little bit more challenge, these days. If you don't want a challenge, don't play on survival, or play on peaceful. Having all these options would just complicate things, to be honest.
This has been added again just to let people know nicely that nowhere in the main thread does it state that you will loose your World, or creations... just like i have and others have said.... you just go from level 40 whatever to level 1 again after you die...
What happens when you die, your inventory explodes onto the floor...possibly with pieces of meat from you too
If you cant remember where you died the inventory items that dropped will disappear in less then 5 minutes
If you aren't Strong enough (depending on how Notch implements the RPG factor) you may give up and start grinding again, same things happen in MMOs if you die b/c the boss kicks you're ****. TRY AGAIN..or level up first then whoop its ass.
PERMADEATH IS NOT in this update, just b/c someone else misread/misunderstood a text does not mean you need to jump to any conclusions before you even read the original post yourselves, (or have read but b/c of someone elses WRONG opinion have to follow it)

I don't like how people are so used to respawning every time they die. Minecraft could use a realistic/Hardcore mode. If the wimps don't want it on,then there should be an on/off toggle button.
To be honest, my actual opinion over the level stuff is "I'll like it if it's implemented well". While I do have concern for the new food system (actually, I shouldn't have any concern really, given how easy it is to get food within the game), xp and leveling could come off as a very nice feature, giving the player a bit more reason to actually fight crap (outside of getting items), and it kinda also works as a virtual progress meter (though, honestly, I find that creations serve as an even more interesting progress meter -- I just love watching my survival main houses grow and grow). Permadeath -- in the sense of just losing all of your levels when you die -- might also add to the fair challenge of the thing. Sure, you could recover your shiny suit of diamond armor, assuming that your items still toss (I presume they will), but you'll still be level one. Hopefully they won't add super-powered monsters that can crush you with their finger without trying, should you need to get your stuff from the corpse, but at the same time, things will probably start being stronger than you, and you need to advance again. This is much more fair than just instantly deleting the level. For example, my World1, started in August of last year, has many many structures I just love building, tweaking, and upgrading. If I was to make an accidental fall or lavadive, I wouldn't want all of my structures gone just because I made a minor mistake.
But, everyone's different, and that's why the option to delete your level on death is present. Play how you want, I think this is what minecraft encourages, actually.
Anyone think that minecraft is becoming over popular? If this was a game mode, Yeah.. Some features I am really looking forward to.. others, I am dreading. I might just play Creative mode, or just keep 1.7...

Not I. I feel Notch has done a pretty good job at sticking with his original plan. It seems that some of this stuff has been planned since the start, but not everyone here knows that and only knows what they've been playing. I've dug up some older things from Notch. This game just keeps getting better and better, IMO.
People like this should just refrain from posting. No one cares that you think the last good update was "blah blah blah". It's not a constructive post. It makes you look like an idiot.

I don't mind "respawning" back to level 1 if I die. I would, however, be mad if I die and be forced to delete the world.
However, the latter is obviously not going to happen so I'm thankful for that.
it sound just awesome! i dont know why people dislike so much the xp bar. seriously, if the xp bar was needed to take weapon that need a certain level to use or to farm better foods? seriously those who tell such stupid thing like 'xp bar sound dumb' or 'i dont like it' here the answer. IT NOT YOUR GAME, IF THIS GAME WERE MADE BY YOU YOU COULD DO WHATEVER YOU WANT TO THIS, SO LEAVE NOTCH ALONE WITH HIS IDEA CUZ HE CAN DO EVERYYTHING HE WANT TO THIS GAME. the official version of minecraft will never change. cuz we re only talking about the adventure >MOD<. did you ever seen an adventure game without xp bar? it could be an rpg. but we never know. we can't know what notch have in his head.

You sound just as idiotic as they do.. Just saying.

Many things in the adventure update should, because some of us like minecraft to be based on collecting and building.
Mabey even to go as far as to make a new mode for adventure...
