Great project, why though the insistence on no survival mode?

> It does not have a survival mode (nor will such a mode be added)

Because it is a recreation of classic 0.30 that used to be on the minecraft website, which did not have survival
I mean, the only mode was survival… at least that’s what I recall playing the prerelease versions.
This is based on a version that predates those versions you're thinking of.

It went Classic -> Indev -> Infdev -> Alpha -> Beta -> full release.

Indev was the introduction of survival mode.

The very first version was just a creative-mode browser game without any health or fight mechanics, I think. (Never played it as I started in alpha)
1 because the target version didn’t have any survival features, 2 because mojang absolutely would not appreciate it.
