would grovyle play in creative or survival in minecraft

He plays mainly in survival mode because he knows his building skills are subpar and can only justify living in a dirt cube by saying he’s too busy winning the game to beautify his base.

In reality he is not winning the game. He is only capable of defeating the Ender Dragon in creative mode. Sometimes he suits himself up using cheats and then toggles back on survival mode so that he can feel accomplished, but all he really has accomplished is giving himself a Sharpness 1000 sword he had to look up the command to provide.
