I'd hope survival.

I have much more fun when there are monsters to deal with.

Survival or Adventure if that ends up being a new mode. Creative would be too boring/limiting IMHO.

You already won. When you finish an upside-down pyramid made from netherrack, you win!

A tour of my current world's centralized grinder. Animals sorted out for future possibilities. Chickens are killed up top but the killer can be turned off so they collect and lay eggs which flow into the sheep/leather collector. Pork can be left unlit if needed.

From below, spiders and tall mobs are separated and killed separately. I'll have to rework a bit if I want to do anything beside kill the tall mobs. Still won't be too hard to add a diverter to do something else with them.

There's room below for endermen to spawn, but not in the killing system. No idea how they'll work yet so not bothered.

Here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulbL4DHfJC8

Enjoy the ladder and hatch fail, I was going up for a view of the animal pads on top. Below is a basic spawmer pad with mobovater. 4x4 of 6x6 pads and no perimiter area, doesn't seem necessary and lighting is so much easier with just the pads.

All those chests will be moved. I just kept placing them ass I dug out a gazillion islands and made the water 3 deep all around up top. (Docm77 rip-off if you're wondering.)

Yeah a couple of the plugins I run have that option but I never bothered with it. I kind of like the idea of an automated grinder not working though. No problem making a killing floor and going to town but an automated grinder seems a bit cheap.

Considering an XP bar and skill system is being implemented in 1.8/1.9, I'd venture to guess loot won't drop from enemies dying from the enviroment.

Well I'd better stock up on loot then

I just spent ages moving all the chest out of there. Now all that's left in the big room is the two below the sheep/cow drowner (One for leather and the other for wool and the few feathers that come down from the chickens dying up top) and one at the drop point of the monster loot channels.

If drops get nerfed I'll just channel the animals into pens, and direct the monsters into a gallery for easy slaughter. It won't be that hard to change it.

What Notch needs to do is screw with the spawning rules again. Sounds like there's some plan for that for animals already.
