Quick answer

Creative Mode arrived with the 0.9 update. It is enabled on a newly created compatible world or character rather than retrofitted invisibly onto every existing save.

What is confirmed

  • Creative Mode and Custom World Sliders were introduced together.
  • A new Creative Mode character is required for Creative-enabled worlds.
  • World settings can change the assumptions behind ordinary survival guides.
  • Creative Mode is useful for building experiments and system exploration.
  1. Create the appropriate character and world combination.
  2. Review every world slider before starting.
  3. Keep survival and Creative saves clearly named.
  4. State world settings when sharing a build or troubleshooting result.

What this guide does not assume

  • A Creative result may not reproduce in a standard survival world.
  • Do not edit or replace important saves without a backup.
