Add Pure Survival Mode (No Cheats, No Creative Switching)

Hello Mojang Studios, I would like to share a suggestion for a new gameplay option in Minecraft. It would be great to have a new mode called “Pure Survival Mode.” This mode would be similar to normal Survival, but with one important difference: once the world is created, players cannot enable cheats or switch to Creative mode permanently. Before creating the world, players can still choose their preferred settings. However, after confirming the world creation, all game modes and cheat options would be locked, similar to how Hardcore mode works. Pure Survival Mode would allow players to enjoy a fair and honest Survival experience without the temptation to use cheats, while still being less punishing than Hardcore, since players can still respawn. This mode could be a great option for players who want a serious and authentic Survival experience, but do not want to lose their entire world after one mistake. Thank you for your time and for continuously improving Minecraft. Sincerely, A Minecraft player

    This is actually a really great idea.
    Sometimes players want a truly fair Survival experience without the temptation of using cheats or switching to Creative mode. Hardcore is too punishing for many players, but normal Survival still allows too much flexibility.
    A “Pure Survival Mode” would perfectly fill that gap. It keeps the game challenging and honest, while still allowing players to continue their world after death.
    This would be a perfect option for serious players who want a clean and authentic experience.
    I really hope Mojang considers this.

    In one of the recent updates the made switching to creative in survival mode as easy as adjusting your render distance or checking your advancements. That just feels wrong to me. I'm glad someone's talking about a solution.
