What ever happened to just loving the game for what it is. And who gives a crap if someone thinks creative is better or survival is better. It is all an opinion. I personally like both just the same; when I get bored surviving, I create, when I run out of ideas, I have fun running from creepers. Pepsolman, why in the world would you start an argument that is so pathetic and worthless? Why not do something better with your time like....... *gasp* play Minecraft! I have seen at least 6 stupid threads like this one in the past 20 minutes, It is sad.
The only reason I brought up gravity is because I was pointing out the fact that there are rules and laws in survival which I refer to as guidelines or boundaries that were put in place by the developers for this mode in order to restrict the player of total 100% freedom and holding the player back from being fully creative. Why would it even be called creative mode if it didn't mean just that?
The bigger reason of this thread was to point out how simple the act of survival in minecraft is and how it is overblown by many as a great feat. I find being creative is a bigger feat than simply surviving.
This thread has been anything but that in nature. Your first post even goes on a different train of thought. The entire connotation of your first post is basically telling people who play survival that they are not creative, can't be creative, and only thing they can do is live in a whole. Anyone who points out any flaws in that logic rather get ignored, or more so you pick and choose one point to nitpick. You also have made a point in this thread to respond to everyone, and when you do, the context of the words is rather demeaning, or it reads like you are looking down upon them.
This thread started with how you were tired of how "survivalists" kept looking down on you and "creativeists"... Now the shoe is on the other foot and all that comes to mind is "pot calling the kettle black".
Here's the way I play Minecraft on Xbox: Start a regular world, punch trees, make a shack. By your definition, that's all survival is. BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE! Once I have a solid overnight place, I get out, explore and collect resources to build huge f***in' houses with bookshelves, paintings and bedrooms. Make a farm, go to the Nether, explore your whole map. Hell, exploit all the features of 1.2.5.
Working to get the resources yourself like mining 100s of blocks of cobblestone to smelt legitimately, or punching a buttload of sheep for wool is, in my opinion, more satisfying to build with. Rather than spawning it in. If you have a good friend and nothing but time, you can make a giant castle on top of a man-made mountain legitimately over two weeks, whilst surviving, like I did.

You CAN do both people!
Good job man. You get a cookie. I'm proud for you. Congrats.
You confuse creativity with functionality, efficiency, and ingenuity. Inventing something for a certain purpose is not simply being creative.
Could you force a square into a hole for a circle and call that move creative? What if you're forced to fill the hole with a circle? Are you creative then?
You have to remember you are stating your opinion as well, and not facts. So when you attack with childish lanuage, the conversation goes no where.
I said nothing about flying or being invincible.
Read all the arguements placed in this thread before stating something irrelevant.
It's not an opinion when it's right. This thread should be locked. Multiple people have pointed out why what you're saying makes no sense.
My suggestion; Since you have a job, buy it on PC and stop acting like a child.
I know that in your backwards little mind, you think that you're somehow infallible, but you have no idea what you're really saying.
You're just a ****-stirrer. There have always been, and always will be, people like you.

There will always be people like you that chose to add nothing significant to a conversation and merely ***** about how you don't like the fact that I have the right just like you to state my opinion on a matter. My point is that survival is simplistic... wether you agree or not is no fault of mine. I merely state what I think and respond to any critisism thrown at me for stating said opinion. We can agree to disagree, but I think you'd rather just flame instead of saying something intelligent. Good day.
*sigh* So I was entertained watching this before (like the first 3 pages) But this has gone way to far. I don't understand why you guys are at each other's throats. You are all making very valid points, but seriously, can you all understand that the game was meant for all audiences whether you like creative or survival, so why kill each other over which is better, neither of them are better over the other
Personally, I find survival to be more satisfying, because when I build a big town with my friends completely using materials we gathered, that says more than just spawning with infinite of everything and then building with no risk from mobs or anything.
I did, and I have edited my OP quite a bit. I believe to simply succeed in surviving in minecraft you have a few options.
1.Dig a hole and cover up.
2.Sleep in a bed. (to avoid the night terrors)
3.Turn on peaceful mode.
4.Don't jump off cliffs or fall in lava. (number 1 can take care of this.)
Simple enough.
Digging a hole and covering up just means you lack of creativity. One can build cool stuff in survival too. Me and a friend got over 2 full large chests of cobblestone when mining for diamonds, even tho we threw out alot of cobble to get inventory space. We built a huge castle, and made multiple food/animal farms and went to the nether. Got potions and enchanted weapons. I think survival might even be more creative than creative mode, because you have to make ideas on how to get different resources and food.
Also, switching to peaceful mode is something you can chose to do if you want. You don't HAVE to use peaceful if you don't like it... Play in a server, so you can't use peaceful then. Playing in a server is much more fun than playing survival

You are exactly right! I said that I find survival and creativity to contradict each other. If you dig a hole and "survive" you aren't really being creative are you? So simply surviving can get in the way of trying to be creative.
The fact that this is a "Hot" topic makes me laugh. It's like a polar opposite of what a "Hot" topic should be because it's popularity is based on negative connotations. It's "Hot" because it's not, lol.
Pepsolman's signature quote makes me laugh even harder..."I've come to find out that survival and creation contridict each other".
I'm honestly not trying to be mean Pepsolman but this statement is truly the definition of a paradox, a false dilemma if you will. At it's greatest simplicity these two alternatives cannot be contrasted as common or as opposites because they have nothing to do with each other in a scholarly concordance.
Oh, and one more thing..."Contradict" is spelled as such. Not the way your signature would have everyone believe.
No need to entertain this thread any further friends. It's like arguing with a deaf mute.
I'm just gonna build a 3 deep hole cover it up make sure my setting is peaceful and I'll just save it like that. My version of survival is like his but I might get creative and make a torch for my 3 deep hole

What's a topic worth if it isn't controversial? Huh? It's got to be worth talking about if it gets people talking.
No need to point out the misspelled signature. I was too lazy to fix it even after the GF pointed it out. Thanks anyways.
My signature might be a paradox to you, but that only means you can't wrap your mind around the freak it gives you.

Only if you are afraid of the dark... which would be an obstruction of succurity... not a creative opportunity.

That's because your game is of risks and chances. Your reward is surviving. It isn't your goal to project what's in your mind's eye.

You're half right.
It is a game of risks and chances. Working hard to gather the materials, risking a creeper explosion or an arrow to the knee, but still being able to overcome all that and build a beautiful looking town, which is a goal for a project that he's planned in his "mind's eye" he planned out how it's going to look. Sure, the buildings probably will have more than aesthetic purposes probably. But it's still something they planned out and built. It just taks on challenges to the build which for some is funner.

Think my post is helpfull, hillarious or just plain likeable? Freaking hit the green UP arrow down there, or else.

I thank you for further proving my point! Thanks!
