First of all, I love this game. I have had more fun with this game then I have had with any other game in a long time. But, this creative mode that everyone keeps talking about bothers me a little.
The reason is this: I like to earn what I make. Creative mode sounds more like a "cheat" than anything else. I know that some people will use it to build great things, and I think that is awesome. But others will use it to make resources instead of doing the work themselves...thus, a "cheat".
I like to earn my own way. If my map has limited trees, I make my own forest from saplings. I make my own sugar plant farm from what little sugar plant I can find. That is what makes this game fun, creating and modifying a world from what is available.
Here is what I would like to see; give us a legitimate way to earn our own resources that are, at this time, limited because of map size.
For example; give us a way to plant and harvest pumpkins when we find them. Same with cocoa beans. For those who want to keep the worlds they have spent so much time on, give them a way to make clay. For example: 1 sand + 1 soul sand could = 2 clay. I'm sure there are other things I could mention, but this post is already getting too long.
Bottom line, give us a way to "work our own land" so to speak instead of giving us an easy way out.
We will have both modes, do just choose
Creative mode is for people who want to build massive structures without having to gather the resources, especially if the resources are limited
Survival will be the mode you use, where you survive, and work for what you make. Itll be just like the PC.
So if you want to work the land, then just don't use creative mode
I don't see what you're afraid of. Creative mode has been here since before survival mode. Creative mode is a big deal in Minecraft. It will always be there. You do not have to play in creative mode if you do not want to. People cannot play in creative mode with you on your survival world unless allowed by a server admin on PC. It will be the same or similar on Xbox. It's not cheating, it is the sandbox way of playing Minecraft. It's geared towards CREATIVITY not survival. Also, for your other suggestion/question. Minecraft on Xbox is no where near the version of Minecraft on PC. You guys don't even have sprinting or hunger yet. So your destiny is already chosen to be honest. Lastly, unless the Xbox version lacks infinite generation of land; each Minecraft save file has the potential to be larger than Neptune.
Cheat? You're joking right? You're talking about a game that has essentially given their audience free reign over the way it's been played since day one...Who really cares what other people do on their worlds? It doesn't affect you in any way whatsoever and it actually helps a lot of people that spend hours on massive projects.
Not sure I understand completely. Creative mode is separate from the regular game? Meaning, you can't switch back and forth on the same map? In that case, I'm ok with that. Otherwise, its a cheat. Just like the duplication glitch is a cheat.

Not sure I agree with this. I was there day one when it came out on xbox and I did not see any creative mode. It may have been different with the pc, but I don't know about that.
Creative is just a fun survival it lets you be CREATIVE and use your imagination. its their so we dont have to spend more time finding the resources then building with them.

Umm almost everyone was there day 1 for the Xbox release...Before the xbox release though Minecraft was always heralded as the game that literally let you build andalmost do anything you want in it. Creative mode came before survival and Mods also helped people "cheat" the game and build insanely detailed projects. If you want to see why creative mode is a godsend just look up some of the stuff that was built on the PC version via Youtube.
I think a few of the people have missed the point of the TC post. He isn't saying never add Creative, nor is he saying no one else can use it. He is asking for a way to grow/farm items that are currently limited so that HE can play the game he wants with limitations. He is okay taking the time to grow and harvest more pumpkins if his original world only has 3. In fact he WANTS to be able to spend the time to do that, but the game doesn't allow you to farm pumpkins (currently).

Or at least that is how I read his post.
I probably could have picked a better topic heading as well.
it is like they said earlier, creative mode is a completely different world, you cant switch the mode in the same map

Creative Mode > Survival...enough said.

If that is true, then I agree that it is not cheating. Sorry for causing so much trouble with this topic.
