creative mode
No survival constraints
Creative mode is a gameplay setting, originating in Minecraft and adopted by other games, that removes survival constraints like health, hunger, and resource gathering.
Players have unlimited materials and often the ability to fly, allowing unrestricted building and experimentation: I switched to creative mode to design my castle without worrying about monsters.
The term has spread beyond gaming to describe any context where normal limitations are suspended for free exploration: My brain went into creative mode and I lost track of time.
