Adventure

Adventure Mode, formerly Dungeons and Levers, is an upcoming gamemode.^[1] Adventure Mode may include permadeath like Hardcore mode, making it rogue-like in nature.^[2]

The "Adventure Update" spanned updates Beta 1.8 - Minecraft 1.0 and was meant to be an update to "flesh out" the game. Adventure Mode should not be confused with the "Adventure Update". This mode has not been released yet; as of 1.1 there are no signs of the "Adventure Mode".

The main reason for this game mode is so people can properly play adventure maps or mazes legitimately without the ability to break blocks to cheat. This will also be a game mode in multiplayer servers (/gamemode [Name] 2 perhaps?) so certain players can be assigned it or for use with multiplayer adventure worlds ^[1]

[edit] Features

• It will have programmable maps, buttons, pressure plates and levers^[1]
• Blocks cannot be placed or destroyed^[1]
• Numerous randomly generated dungeons using a similar code from the current dungeon generator
