Creative mode is one of 2 selectable gamemodes

Trivia[]
- There was no day/night system before Update 0.10.0 in Creative Mode, and the time of day was always at noon.
- However, there could be one if a Survival world was switched to a Creative one using editors.
- In Update 0.11.0, a toggle to enable/disable the day/night cycle in Creative was added.
- The items that are coded into Minecraft Pocket Edition but not in the Creative inventory can be obtained by Inventory Editors or mods.
- As of Update 0.12.1, the Player cannot break blocks with a Sword in Creative Mode.
- This is useful to avoid destroying blocks accidentally.
- Since Update 0.14.0, the Player can throw items on the ground in Creative Mode.
- The items will still be there in Survival Mode and the Player can pick them up.
- The Player can also access inventories, allowing him/her to Craft items in Creative Mode.
- This also allows the Player to use a Brewing Stand, Chest, Furnace, Enchantment Table, Hopper, Dispenser, Dropper and other appliances.
- Achievements cannot be earned in Creative Mode.
- This also applies if the player switches to Survival from Creative.
