Adventure Mode

As said in Minecraft Wiki
"
Adventure mode is a game mode intended for adventuring in which the player cannot place or destroy blocks, so as to avoid spoiling adventure maps by changing the map. The player can still interact with blocks that can be toggled, such as doors, levers, and buttons. The player can also still deal damage to mobs and trade with villagers.
It is likely that one would import and use custom adventure maps to be played, as a new map would not have much purpose or customizability, and a custom map would control certain aspects of the gameplay as well.
In Adventure mode, the player cannot simply get resources by breaking items or by destroying or building blocks. The only way the player can get certain resources is by killing mobs, looting chests or trading with villagers. However, depending on what type of an adventure it may be, many of these features are unnecessary, or often unavailable by conventional means. It may also be a way to cheat on a map that restricts the acquisition of specific objects.
Although it is impossible to destroy blocks manually, it remains possible to use an explosion to get some resources. However, this may ruin the aspect of gameplay by acting as a way to cheat a map, as well as an annoyance from Creepers, and is controllable using the mobGriefing server command. Explosions can also damage a map, rendering it unplayable or ruined.
While it is possible to play a normal Minecraft game in Adventure mode, it is quite difficult to do so. Most time is spent collecting food to replenish the ever-dwindling food bar. It is possible to collect some trade goods such as wool, raw porkchops, and wheat (by jumping on the wheat found in villages), as well as finding chests in blacksmiths, dungeons, abandoned mineshafts, and strongholds. Wood can only be obtained by using a Creeper near log structures and trees."

Rules of minecraft

Quoted From Minecraft Wiki
"

  • Never break the block you are standing on unless you are certain what is beneath it is safe.
The general rule, especially for new players, is never to break the block your standing on unless you are coming down from a pillar jump. Breaking the block you are standing on causes you to fall, often into lava, a deep cave, water, mob-infested dungeon and occasionally (situations like The EndCreative mode and custom maps like Skyblock), The Void. Digging straight down is the only way to commit suicide in Creative mode.
  • Never break a block directly over your head. Stand at least one block aside.
These two rules will save you from most "bust out" situations where you emerge from solid material into fluid or air. Breaking over your head invites flooding yourself with lava, water, sand or gravel.
  • Have an "emergency blocking material" close at hand, and practice quickly selecting and placing it between yourself and unexpected danger (lava, water, and hostile mobs.)
The most likely such material is Cobblestone which has a great combination of abundance (mining stone drops it), butdirtsandstone, and glass can work as well. Never use wood, as it can catch fire when used to protect against lava, and also has very poor blast resistance against the Creeper
  • The other aspect of mining safely is not to lose your mined item drops.
The easiest way to lose item drops early in the game is to mine with an inappropriate tool. Wooden pickaxes can only break stone and coal oreStone pickaxes are required to mine iron. The general rule of thumb is that if it is taking longer than a few seconds to break the block, you are probably using a poor tool and the block won't drop the item. Iron pickaxes can mine everything except obsidian, which requires a diamond pickaxe.
If you encounter a high value block, such as emerald orediamond ore, or gold ore, mine around it to see what all six facings are before breaking it to ensure that you won't lose it in unseen lava. If this is done, you can confidently stand on it while you break it. Obsidian is a particularly hairy block to mine because it often has lava right next to or underneath it. The safest way for a beginner to mine obsidian is to capture lava in a bucket and convert it in a processing pool known to be only one block deep."
