What is Minecraft Adventure Mode?
You log onto your Minecraft world and go to switch your game mode. There are four game mode options for you to choose from: survival, creative, hardcore, spectator, and adventure. But you don’t bother clicking on Adventure mode because you don't even know what it is. Adventure mode is a game mode in Minecraft to preserve player-created maps. It has limited features to prevent griefing or destroying the servers.

- Eat food
- Use interactive blocks(crafting tables, beds, enchantment tables, etc.)

Tips and Tricks for Minecraft Adventure mode
Adventure mode can be almost impossible to play in a traditional survival world. So, here are some tips and tricks to make the mode fun and survive!
1. Explode creepers with flint and steel to get blocks!
2. Switch to 1.4.2 (older version of Minecraft) to be able to break blocks!
1.4.2 is the only version in Minecraft that allows you to break blocks in Adventure mode without cheating. The key is to use tools to do it! You can only mine with a pickaxe, break wood with an ax, break dirt with a shovel, and so on.
3. Allow tools to be used in the current version.
By using commands, you can allow certain things to become possible in Adventure Mode. Here's a helpful tutorial.
4. Loot chests, and use crafting tables in villages.
Because you cannot place blocks, chests, or beds you need to use the environment around you to level up and craft.

Can you beat Minecraft in Adventure Mode?
Yes and no! You can do anything in Minecraft with the right cheats or the right version. BUT if you want to play vanilla and in a 1.19 survival world, it is impossible to beat. Without being able to place blocks, or use buckets getting to the Nether is impossible. If you cannot get to the Nether then you cannot get ender eyes (which you cannot place either). So, if you cheat or use an Adventure map then YES. But if you do not then the answer is NO.
