The creative mode was released as a part of the Minecraft 1.8 Adventure update. They have said "Part 2" is to be released as Minecraft 1.9 (Which eventually released as Minecraft 1.0). Notch has confirmed that this update is only Part 1 on the adventure update. On September 14th, 2011, Minecraft 1.8, also known as the "Adventure Update", was released by Team Mojang with several new features including a food system, experience bars, sprinting, and the Slenderman inspired Enderman mob. Players call this game play style "Survival" Mode. Typically a player will scramble to make some sort of shelter before the sun goes down, and dangerous enemies will come out and attempt to kill the player. In this version, the player is thrown into a randomly generated game world where they start with no items and must build everything from scratch. Minecraft Beta was released on December 20th, 2010 and has been continuously updated.

The Seecret Friday Updates ended during this stage. One of the hugest changes was during the Halloween Update which added a new dimension called the "Nether" which represents hell. Some of these include survival multiplayer mode, upgraded height build limit, the famous redstone and biomes. Alpha's main purpose was to show Minecraft closer to coming to its release and adding a lot more features to the game. It was preceded by Infdev and followed by Beta. The Alpha phase started on 28th June 2010 and ended on 3rd December 2010. The Seecret Friday Updates started during this stage.

Sound and saving levels will no longer work by default because the required resources have been removed by Mojang and to retain them must require extreme methods. The official server software is available for free, but there are also third-party server software's with added functionality. Which is why in the Beta 1.2 update (which added coloured wool) Classic saw a drop in players. Classic for a while had something over its later survival counter-parts. It was mainly a creative multiplayer mode, where players would collaborate to build. Many features had not been added yet, such as mobs, health, and crafting, and the player had an infinite amount of blocks at their disposal. It is currently abandoned by Mojang although it is currently available to play for free in single-player and multiplayer modes on the website through typing in its corresponding URL. This first public development stage of the game was released on.
