Creative mode

Creative Mode changes the rules of the game to make it more suitable for creative gameplay, rather than challenging “survival” gameplay. The meaning of Creative Mode depends on the subgame being used.

In Minetest Game, these are the rule changes when using Creative Mode:

• Tools do not wear out, thus they have infinite durability
• The creative inventory is activated, which allows players to give themselves items appearing in the creative inventory
• If one places a block, it doesn’t get removed from their inventory. This makes blocks “unlimited”
• Mining times of the hand are greatly reduced
• One can dig almost everything with the hand
• Hand range is greatly increased
• Hand damage is greatly increased
• Bones do not appear when a player dies—players keep their items upon death
