Operator

First introduced

Java Edition 1.4.2 (12w32a)
Pocket Edition 1.0.5 (Pocket Edition alpha 1.0.5.0)

Sets or queries a game rule value.

Syntax[edit]

  • Java Edition
gamerule <rule name> [<value>]
  • Bedrock Edition
gamerule <rule: BoolGameRule> [value: Boolean]
gamerule <rule: IntGameRule> [value: int]
In Bedrock Edition, gamerules can also be changed in the world options and certain gamerules can be toggled on and off with the command without cheats enabled.

Arguments[edit]

Arguments in Java Edition are case sensitive. Arguments in Bedrock Edition are shown for tab autocompletion as lowercase, but when typed are case-insensitive.

<rule name> (BE: rule: BoolGameRule or rule: IntGameRule)

Specifies the game rule to set or query. Must be one of predefined game rules in the table below.

<value> (BE: value: Boolean or value: int) (optional)

Specifies the value to set the game rule to. Only true or false specified for predefined game rules can affect gameplay, except in the case of maxEntityCramming, randomTickSpeed, spawnRadius, and maxCommandChainLength where any integer 0 or greater affects gameplay (see the table below).[needs testing]
Predefined game rules
Rule name Description Default value Type Availability

commandBlocksEnabled Whether command blocks should be enabled in-game true Bool No Yes
commandBlockOutput Whether command blocks should notify admins when they perform commands true Bool Yes Yes
disableElytraMovementCheck Whether the server should skip checking player speed when the player is wearing elytra. Often helps with jittering due to lag in multiplayer, but may also be used to travel unfairly long distances in survival mode (cheating). false Bool Yes No

doEntityDrops Whether entities that are not mobs should have drops true Bool Yes Yes

doMobSpawning Whether mobs should naturally spawn. Does not affect monster spawners. true Bool Yes Yes
doPatrolSpawning Whether patrols can spawn. true Bool Yes No
doTileDrops Whether blocks should have drops true Bool Yes Yes

maxEntityCramming The maximum number of other pushable entities a mob or player can push, before taking 3♥♥ suffocation damage per half-second. Setting to 0 or lower disables the rule. Damage affects survival-mode or adventure-mode players, and all mobs but bats. Pushable entities include non-spectator-mode players, any mob except bats, as well as boats and minecarts. 24 Int Yes No
mobGriefing Whether creepers, zombies, endermen, ghasts, withers, ender dragons, rabbits, sheep, villagers, silverfish, and snow golems should be able to change blocks and whether mobs can pick up items. This also affects the capability of zombie-like creatures like zombie pigmen and drowned to pathfind to turtle eggs. This also prevents villagers from breeding. true Bool Yes Yes

pvp Whether the player can fight with other players true Bool No Yes
randomTickSpeed How often a random block tick occurs (such as plant growth, leaf decay, etc.) per chunk section per game tick. 0 disables random ticks [needs testing], higher numbers increase random ticks. Setting to a high integer results in high speeds of decay and growth 3‌[JE only]
1‌[BE only] 		Int Yes Yes
reducedDebugInfo Whether the debug screen shows all or reduced information; and whether the effects of F3+B (entity hitboxes) and F3+G (chunk boundaries) are shown. false Bool Yes No

5‌[BE only] 		Int Yes Yes
spectatorsGenerateChunks Whether players in spectator mode can generate chunks true Bool Yes No
tntExplodes Whether TNT explodes after activation true Bool No Yes
showTags Hides the "Can place on" and "Can destroy" block lists from item lore. true Bool No Yes

Additional behavior[edit]

 This section is a stub, meaning that it lacks some important information. You can help by expanding it with further information relating to the topic.

This section explains more complex behaviors of certain gamerules.

  • disableRaids
    • When true, the Bad Omen effect is not removed from a player when entering a village.
    • Stops a raid if set to true while a raid is in progress, but the existing raid mobs do not despawn.
  • doEntityDrops
    • When false, items cannot be removed from item frames.
  • doMobSpawning
    • Affects only natural mob spawning. Mobs from structures, spawners, and events still spawn when set to false.
  • doTileDrops
    • When false, containers still drop their contents, but not themselves.
      • Shulker boxes do not drop anything, causing the items in them to be lost.
    • When false, destroying an armor stand does not drop it nor any armor it had equipped.
    • When false, item frames still drop themselves and their items.
  • drowningDamage
    • When false, the player still loses air, but does not take damage when the air is depleted.
  • keepInventory
    • When true, players also retain their experience upon death.
    • When true, health and hunger are still reset as normal upon death.
  • mobGriefing
    • When false, prevents:
      • All mobs from:
        • Trampling crops.
        • Picking up items.
      • Blazes from creating fire or lighting campfires.
      • Creepers from destroying blocks when they explode, although they still damage entities.
      • The ender dragon from destroying blocks, causing it to just fly through them instead.
      • Endermen from picking up or placing blocks.
      • Foxes from picking sweet berries from a sweet berry bush.
      • Ghast fireballs from exploding blocks and creating fire. They still damage entities.
      • Rabbits from eating carrot crops.
      • Ravagers from destroying crops and leaves.
      • Sheep from turning grass blocks into dirt, but does not prevent the regrowth of wool. They still act as if they are eating the grass and regrow their wool upon doing so, but the grass remains and the grass breaking sound does not play.
      • Snow golems from creating snow trails.
      • Villagers from farming and picking up items. However, they can still open doors and throw items.
      • The wither and its heads from destroying blocks with their explosions. Entities are still damaged, and a wither rose drops as an item.
      • Zombies from breaking doors.
    • Has no effect on the player.

Result[edit]

Fails if the arguments are not specified correctly.

On success, returns the value of the game rule (if <value> is not provided) or sets the game rule to the specified value (if value is provided).

Examples[edit]

  • To stop the day-night cycle: gamerule doDaylightCycle false
  • To stop natural healing: gamerule naturalRegeneration false
  • To stop creepers, ghasts and other mobs from modifying blocks: gamerule mobGriefing false
  • To stop the natural cycle of weather: gamerule doWeatherCycle false
  • For the player, so that they can keep all of their valuables when they die: gamerule keepInventory true
  • To stop TNT from exploding:‌[Bedrock Edition only] gamerule tntExplodes false
