While a world is in the Globalbuildmode, it won't get dark and the weather won't change - so you can build without beeing interruped because you have to change the weather or set the time to see your creation again. Also blocks won't drop items in this world so the floor isn't flooded with useless items.
tl;dr:
- no nighttime -> alway sun
- no storm/thunder
- no itemdrops
While a user is in buildmode blocks will break (almost) instantly if the player uses a Pickaxe (any of them), the inventory won't get flooded by useless items (pickups disabled), players won't get damaged, blocks are unlimited (stacksize is always 64). Last but not least cutting down trees is quite a pain, but while in buildmode players can fell a tree with just one click of an axe. You can Lock or Unlock the buildmode for a world or generally lock/unlock it, just have a closer look at the config/permissions.
tl;dr:
- Second inventory while in Buildmode
- Instant Block Break
- Godmode
- Unlimited Items
- No itempickups
- Treecutter removes trees instant
