Survival is a very famous, popular, and fun gamemode where you can play with friends, and PvP is enabled. It is a sandbox gamemode where the player has the freedom to explore the infinite Open World while surviving other players. There is no current way to beat this gamemode. If you get killed everything in your Inventory will be dropped.
Utilities [B][]
Teleport to lobby Spawn[]
This will teleport you to the Spawn of the lobby. (Coordinates approximately 0 0 0). It's unadvised to go there if you're still weak because there will most probably be campers there waiting to kill you and take your Items.
/sethome[]
Set a home. You can then teleport to this home any time you wish, unless damaged or attacked within 10 seconds. You can have a maximum of 3 homes at once. It is possible to delete a home and set it somewhere else, just make sure you won't need that home again.
/tprequest[]
Request teleport to a player. The player can accept or deny the request. If you see someone is requesting teleport to you, don't accept unless you know they are your friend or if you are ready to fight.
Create Tribe[]
Create a Tribe. It costs 2 Iron Bars. You can invite players to your Tribe.
Tribes[]
Once you have a Tribe you can:
- Set a Tribe Home. This is a place where everyone from your Tribe will be able to teleport anytime.
- Invite and remove players. A player must accept an invite to join the Tribe, but Tribe owner can always remove players.
- Toggle members PvP. Decide whether you want members of your Tribe to be able to damage each other or not.
- Disband Tribe. Delete the Tribe.
- You can see who is a tribe member if there username is green that means they are in your tribe.
Protectors[]
There are two types of Protectors in Survival which are:
Normal Protectors[]
These protect a Chunk (32 times 32 times 32 Blocks big cube). Only the person who placed the Protector can place and break Blocks and open Chests in the protected chunk. You can allow someone access to your Protectors and subsequently they can also break/place/open in the chunk. Remove their permission anytime. A Protector is crafted with 1 Messy Stone and 2 Diamonds. Andesite, Granite or Diorite can be used instead of Messy Stone. You can place a Maximum of 8 Protectors at once, even though you can craft as many as you wish.
Tribe Protectors[]
These also protect a Chunk. Everyone in the Tribe can break and place Blocks and open Chests in a chunk protected with a Tribe Protector. Craft a Tribe Protector from 1 Stone and 2 Moonstone. Only Tribe owner can craft Tribe Protectors. A maximum of 4 Tribe Protectors can be placed at once.
Arthur's protector system[]
Arthur made a system where you can unlock Protectors by breaking/placing Blocks.
| Protector | Number of Blocks placed/broken |
|---|---|
| 1 | 200 |
| 2 | 600 |
| 3 | 1000 |
| 4 | 1800 |
| 5 | 2600 |
| 6 | 4200 |
| 7 | 5800 |
| 8 | 9000 |
Warning[]
There are certain things you should keep in mind when playing Survival!
Protectors disappearing[]
If you don't visit a lobby for more than 30 days, your placed Protectors will disappear and everyone will be able to raid your bases.
Combat logging[]
Whenever a player with less than 80 HP and less than 10 seconds after being damaged leaves the game, they will be automatically killed by the game and their Items will be dropped. There will be this message displayed in chat:
[Player name] combat logged and was killed.
Spawn reset[]
Blocks near spawn (in the range of 192 Blocks in all directions) will be reset every 150 minutes (2 and a half hours). Do not build your base there if you don't want to lose it, but there are some skybases in above the 192 block radius by building up in sky.
Trivia[]
- It is recommended not to "Quick Play", but to join lobbies with long digit names like for example "48675293" (Don't press Quick Play because it will join a crowded lobby, it will also make it harder for you to collect Items and easier to die.
- Survival is one of the sandbox trio that Arthur made, being the last to be added.
- Survival is the default gamemode for Worlds lobbies.
- Guns have been obtained in Survival with glitches.
- There are Chainmail Armor and even odd flashy Armor on the second thumbnail (the one with a bunch of players in armor with a bunch of weapons and tools standing on a grassy cliff), making it obviously AI-generated.
- Survival mode changed its thumbnail on May 1, 2024, Cube Warfare also changed its thumbnail on the same day.
- You can build up 1000 blocks and place blocks over spawn to avoid getting damaged, even when another mob hits you.

Second Thumbnail
Current Thumbnail - You Set Spawn Point (right click on a Bed), then you destroy the Bed. If you die, you will be revived at Lobby Spawn.
- You can watch an ad to get tools or armour up to iron level. However, do it in a safe place, as you will not be able to control your character, so if a player or a mob is fighting you, you will not be able to fight back or run until the ad is over, which takes 5 seconds.
