PlayersJava

/defaultgamemode

Sets the game mode applied to players the first time they join the world. Unlike /gamemode (which changes a current player), this affects future joins and the world's default — handy for adventure maps and servers.

Syntax

Parameters

mode: literal; survival, creative, adventure, or spectator.

Examples

New players join in Adventure mode.

Permission level

/defaultgamemode requires Cheats (op level 2). In single-player you need the world's "Allow Cheats" toggle on. On a multiplayer server you need to be opped — see /op.
