Creative is a choice yes. But if I were a content creator I would skip over this game. Or any vox game that lets you hide the fact that you are technically in creative mode. The only way to show that you don't have the cube is to grind resources on video, and who wants to watch that? Edit: Kimbuck ... Good points about video editing. But from what I've seen with the cube you can dump resources into a chest and just hide the cube in another chest somewhere. Then it looks like you're back in survival mode but you have all the resources you need for the episode.

I must not have explained what I meant very well. If someone makes a Let's Play series for Ylands on YouTube in a single player game there needs to be a way for the audience to see if they spawned in resources. The way it is now it's wide open for misrepresentation. I could build a massive castle and tell everyone watching that I did it the hard way, even though I spawned in all the resources needed to build it. I have a friend that is a fairly large YouTube content creator. He loves Ylands but won't do a lets play series because there is no way to prove to his viewers that he's doing it the hard way. He takes pride in his builds and the grind is a big part of that. Another VERY large content creator just finished a let's play series and there are comments in his videos accusing him of cheating. Why not just have some way to keep it honest. Again, I don't think using the cube is a bad thing as long as they let the viewers know it a Let's Build and not a Let's Play. But I think legit players will stop making content for Ylands if they can't prove how they are doing it.

I think it would be a good idea to have a some kind of identifier on the screen if a Creator Cube has ever been dropped in an Explore game or if it's ever been opened in the editor. YouTubers are being accused of using the cube whether they are or not. So there should be a way for them to show it. I'm not saying that using the cube is a bad thing. Viewers should just be able to tell if it's creative mode or not.
