Commands/gamemode

Commands/infobox

Sets a player's game mode.

Syntax

Java Edition

gamemode <mode> [player]

Bedrock Edition

gamemode <gameMode: GameMode> [player: target]

An alternate syntax allows player to enter game mode by its number:

gamemode <gameMode: int> [player: target]

Arguments

mode (BE: gameMode: GameMode or gameMode: int)

Must be one of:

survival (can be abbreviated as s or 0‌^{[Bedrock Edition only]}) for survival mode
creative (can be abbreviated as c or 1‌^{[Bedrock Edition only]}) for creative mode
adventure (can be abbreviated as a or 2‌^{[Bedrock Edition only]}) for adventure mode
spectator for spectator mode‌^{[Java Edition only]}

"hardcore" is not a valid option for the mode argument, as it is technically not a game mode.

player (BE: player: target) (optional)

If specified, must be either a player's username or a target selector. If unspecified, defaults to the player using the command. When used in a command block, player is not optional.

Result

Fails if the arguments are not specified correctly, or if player fails to resolve to one or more online players.

If successful, changes the game mode of the default or specified players.

Examples

To put yourself into creative mode: gamemode creative, or gamemode c/gamemode 1‌^{[Bedrock Edition only]}

To put all players into survival mode: gamemode survival @a
