What is a debug world and how can I create one?

I recently heard of a world type called 'Debug Mode'.

• What is it?
• How can I enter or create this world?

Solution 1:

What is it?

Debug mode is a world type which generates a world containing all block data types in all states. It is very useful for developers and resource pack creators.

It contains a total of 5274 unique block types and states. The gamemode is set to spectator by deafult. Breaking or placing blocks is impossible.

How can I enter or create this world?

On the 'create world' screen, hold ↑ Shift and left click until 'Debug mode' appears. It should be after the customised world type.

Note that debug mode is only available in 1.8 and above.
