Is it ok to use creative mode to build your houses and castle and then go to survival mode to live in them ? Just to build structures not give yourself items and whatnot. ???

You should never feel guilty by playing your own way. There are no morals when it comes to minecraft.

That depends on what you think about the matter. No one here can really say anything that represents your mindset. Personally, I play Survival Mode on one world and Creative on the other.

I don't see why not! I thought about doing it when I created a new world with the update but I haven't gone into survival there yet.
The only negative about it is that you won't get any achievements ... if you haven't got them already.

Creative mode is a legitimate game option provided by the developer. You shouldn't feel at all guilty using it. People who still have the old "dupe glitch" monkey on their backs and now want to extend "cheating" labels to creative mode are really just full of it. All aspects of the game are there to be tried out. If you find them fun, continue to play using them. If you don't, try playing the game another way using different options. It's all only pixels... and you can always start new seeds and even regenerate the same ones over and over again... and play in them a variety of different ways.

Hell that is what I am doing now. Building my somewhat giant base to a good established point then switching over and continuing the work in survival. Nothing wrong with that at all.

Now, creative does not just mean load up chests with every resource for me personally. I will continue to mine and explore in survival for my resources. Creative is just a bonus for building and testing for my own uses.

Thanks guys. You really put it in perspective for me. I'm only using creative mode to clear out some dirt and stone. Cuz we all know how annoying that is. I'm only making a subfloor out of bedrock and then going to survival to create my castle by hand, along with playing survival the traditional way. I need that feeling of earning everything I got so I wont be making any diamond castles anytime soon.

To be fair, would you way gaining achievements against having fun?

I certainly wouldn't.

Nope!

The only reason why I am asking. Is because I instinctively seek approval with anything I do. By subfloor I meant I'm making a bedrock subfloor because I could use TNT to clear the blocks above the bedrock because bedrock Is indestructible. After I'm done with that. I'm going to make my castle floor out of stone by hand.

that's generally how i play. only time i wont build myself a started house in creative is if i'm playing a 'survival island' map.

I already have all the achievements, and my leaderboard stats reset it seems weekly for no reason, but for some reason I don't feel like I've accomplished something unless I put all that time into gathering the resources. So I haven't done that yet even though I really want to at this point...

Thinking of adding a birch tree to my favorite post update seed. Because it has none that I've seen and I'm rather obsessive about must have everything! It's a seed that is mostly hills and plains. NO forest biome and 2 smallish taiga biomes. I am hoping this will mean fewer wolves and more of other animals.
