Creative Mode and Creativity

[Velvetlotus]

I have to ask what creative mode is. I understand that stuff is free in the shops in creative mode - but it kind of defeats the game when you can switch between modes just to get what you want.

Also /spawnitem doesn't work for me, I'm guessing that's developer only tool because I don't have permission for the command.

I would love to build the town from scratch without having to have the patience to demolish all the buildings first - it feels kind of sterile after a while starting a new world with the same familiar buildings every time. An empty flat world please :)

Or: Maybe a random generation for the shops etc with different colours or styles would be nice?

Well in creative you get access to all the items. You can make them out of thin air. So you can build the buildings withoug grinding for coins and stuff.

[Velvetlotus]

Yeah but don't you feel that kind of ruins the game having access to everything? :/

Not stopped me from messing with the game though.

And you don't get ALL items - I'm pretty sure you could at one point, because I'm certain you could get the villagers mailboxes and the town hall sign etc. Just had to trash my town build because I couldn't respawn them after accidentally trashing them, the town couldn't be functional any more.

Ok, don't know about mailboxes, but I guess it's not that much different than Minecraft creative. I personally play normally but I turned on creative for my daughter because I don't want to spend time finding recipes and ingredients or money. Now she can spam campfires wherever she wants.

I personally think that cosmetic items for your character shouldn't be available for creative mode because it would give people incentives to actually play the game.

Because I know creative mode can be switched between normal mode and game mode, why would I want to buy pieces when I can just spawn them? In a way, its not so bad because it was such a grind to make money (though I think that has been fixed in this patch, will need to return to play mode at some point)
