Modes of Gaming[]

Currently, as of version 2.5, there are four game modes available: Dig Deep, Creative, Survival Mode, and Peaceful Mode.

In Dig Deep Mode, players are guided by blueprints which unlock items and blocks to progress mining deep underground.

Creative Mode gives players unlimited resources and unique tools to create a world of their own making.

Dig Deep Mode*

Creative Mode world creation options allows players to generate terrain based on Grasslands, Semi-Alpine, Desert, and Flat Land. Flat Land allows players to generate a completely flat map based on which block was picked when creating a new world.

In the Survival Game Mode, a new game mode added to the game in version 1.8, players are free to craft any items and blocks without blueprints*. A day and night cycle helps regulate when monsters spawn in.

  • While in the Survival Game Mode, some blocks and items will be locked in the shops, first requiring that they be found.

Players have the ability to craft items and blocks by hand or with a workbench. When using workbenches, certain items and/or blocks are required to be placed in a specific crafting slot in order to craft the desired item or block.

There is a option called "Easy Craft" listing every craftable item or block and how they are crafted. When first use of it, a pop-up will show up and state that easy craft will craft any unlocked item or block selected from the easy craft list. Pressing (x) will make the pop-up not show up again in the world the player is visiting.

Markers can be used as a point to create zones for spawns, editing, PVP, and speed/gravity modification. In Creative, markers are used to fill or clear blocks in a certain area (up to a total of 30,000,000 blocks).

Updates[]

There have been several updates to the game. Currently, the latest update is version 2.5 on the Xbox 360 and 2.73 on the PC (2.9.6.1376 for the PC Beta).

Reception[]

There has been heavy a few people criticizing against Total Miner for attempting to "copy" Minecraft. Total Miner is not found as an exact copy to Minecraft or plagiarism in its development and has listed Minecraft and Miner Dig Deep as an inspiration in their Credits. Many critics say Total Miner is just basically Minecraft.

Despite this, a number of gamers would still ignore the acceptance of Total Miner being an open sandbox game that is independent in its design and foundation to Minecraft.[citation needed]
