You could be tempted to start in Creative mode. Don’t do it if you can. I say this as someone who loves playing in Creative mode : it’s not the same game at all. Survival mode is pretty easy and it’s not the same mood. There’s a strange feeling in this game when you just start to build a wooden shelter with not even a door to survive the first night and somehow, after some hours, your shelter is now a cosy house with some underground cave that gives you an access to your own mine. That’s really a cosy feeling that you can’t feel in creative mode. Survival is pretty easy : there are monsters at night but surviving is nothing more than hiding in a dirt house. And then after hundreds of hours, your start to be bored and it’s time to go Creative and to build gigantic castles. Also you said "we" : if you can play the game in multiplayer, it just doubles the fun.

What were all of those survival hours for if you weren’t gathering resources for the eventual castle?

  There is only hardcore. No other mode exists. Large biomes... sometimes it drops you in a desert where there is no wood, and the only obtainable block is sand. You can't build a roof with sand. There is no way to obtain coal or charcoal, so you can't make torches to light the night sky and keep monsters at bay. No trees for kilometers. You see the beach, do you dare try swimming for it? The drowned zombies come out of nowhere, you swim too slow to dodge tridents. Maybe wood out there in some sunken ship, but wooden blocks are difficult to discern from slabs or stairs down deep. Iron, if you can figure out the correct way to get to the chest. If that chest is even there in a broken ship. "Survival" isn't about surviving, because if you die you just respawn and go grab your stuff. There is only hardcore. "Creative" isn't about creating, because you're just wishing stuff into existence effortlessly. There is only hardcore.
