How to change gamemode in Minecraft

Having trouble switching your game mode in Minecraft? Here's what you need to know

Want to change your gamemode in Minecraft? There are four different gamemodes to choose from in Minecraft : Survival, Creative, Adventure, and Spectator. Each one offers a very different experience to the rest, and help to tailor each Minecraft game to your needs and desires.

If you're running into issues trying to change your gamemode in Minecraft, fear not. Below we'll explain how to change gamemode either using the gamemode switcher tool or using commands, and we'll also show you how you can (temporarily) enable cheats in your Survival game so you can change your gamemode there as well.

How do you change your gamemode in Minecraft?

To change your gamemode in Minecraft, you first need to have cheats enabled. You can do this when you create a new world by clicking the "Allow Cheats" button.

As long as you have cheats enabled, you can change your gamemode in-game at any time, by using either the gamemode switcher or the gamemode command. Let's go over both below.

Minecraft gamemode switcher

The quickest way to change your gamemode in Minecraft is with the gamemode switcher, which was added to Minecraft in 2020. To bring up the gamemode switcher, hold down F3, and tap F4. You'll see four icons appear in the centre of the screen.

Continue to tap F4 while holding F3 to cycle between the four gamemodes available. When your desired gamemode is selected, release F3 to change your gamemode!

You can also quickly use the shortcut F3+F4 to instantly switch your gamemode back to the last gamemode you were previously on.

Minecraft gamemode command

The other way to change your gamemode in Minecraft is using the gamemode command. To do this, open up the chat box and type:

/gamemode [mode]

Replace [mode] with one of the four options: creative, survival, adventure, or spectator. Then hit Enter to change your gamemode.

You can use this same command to change another player's gamemode if you're playing on a multiplayer Minecraft server as an admin. For more information on this and other commands, check out our Minecraft commands and cheats guide.

How to change gamemode in a Survival world

If you want to change your gamemode in a Survival world, things get a bit trickier. By default, cheats are not enabled in Survival games, so if you attempt to use the switcher, you'll be greeted with the following message:

[DEBUG]: Unable to open game mode switcher; no permission

And if you attempt to use the "/gamemode" command, the command won't be recognised.

To change your gamemode in a Survival world with cheats disabled, open the menu with ESC and then click "Open to LAN". This means that anyone on your LAN network can join your game, but it also allows you to use cheats by selecting the "Allow Cheats" button before you click "Start LAN World".

Then return to your game, and you'll be able to use either of the above methods (switcher or command) to change your gamemode. However, your new cheat privileges will only last for that session. If you quit the game and then load it again, you'll be back to Survival mode and unable to change it again unless you repeat the process of opening the game up as a LAN server.

What are the different Minecraft gamemodes?

There are four gamemodes to choose from in Minecraft, and here we'll explain each one so you know which gamemode you should pick depending on your needs.

Survival Mode

The default Minecraft experience is Survival Mode. While in Survival Mode you must maintain your health and hunger, and you must find or craft whatever you need using limited resources. You are also vulnerable to damage from enemies and the environment.

Creative Mode

While in Creative Mode you are invulnerable and cannot be attacked or damaged. You can also fly and use commands, and can access every item and block in the game. Creative Mode is therefore perfect for building, planning, and exploring.

Adventure Mode

Adventure Mode is the same as Survival Mode, but you cannot break or place any blocks. This mode is intended for player-created maps, ensuring that players follow the path set down by the map-maker, instead of just burrowing through to wherever they please.

Spectator Mode

Spectator Mode, as you might have guessed, is ideal for spectating other players. While in Spectator Mode you are invisible to others and can fly around like you can in Creative Mode - but you cannot interact with the world in any way. No placing or breaking blocks, no damaging or interacting with Minecraft mobs , players, or items. You're there to observe, nothing more.

That's everything we know about gamemodes and how to change between them in Minecraft.

How to Change Your Gamemode in Minecraft

Last Updated: May 30, 2022

wikiHow is a “wiki,” similar to Wikipedia, which means that many of our articles are co-written by multiple authors. To create this article, volunteer authors worked to edit and improve it over time. This article has been viewed 151,680 times. Learn more...

Ever wanted to survive in a map you built in Creative? Or wanted to "cheat" in your Survival world to upgrade your house? Whatever the reason, this wikiHow will teach you how to change game modes in the Console Edition and Java Edition of Minecraft.

Console Edition

• To get to a LAN world, tap or click on the Friends tab and then click on the world you wish to open.

• Survival is a gamemode where you have to mine, get food, and fight mobs to survive. It is easier to die with threats like zombies, lava, and other players. This is the gamemode for a little bit of challenge in the game.
• Creative is the second gamemode. You don't have to worry about health, hunger, and mobs in this mode. You have unlimited resources and items, and you can break any block (including bedrock) fast with no tools. This is the gamemode if you want to build for hours on end.
• Adventure mode is like Survival - except you can't break or place blocks without tools and commands. This gamemode is generally not very useful for regular Minecraft play with the exception of custom maps.
• Note that Spectator Mode is only available in the Java Edition.

• You can also change another player's gamemode by putting their name in front of the command. For example, to change Bob's gamemode to survival mode, you would type in  /gamemode 0 Bob .
• You will need to have cheats enabled when you were creating your world for this to work.
• If you are playing on a LAN world, you need to be set to Operator by the world's owner for this to work.

Java Edition

• To get to a LAN world, click on Multiplayer upon launching the game. Scroll down past the servers (if you have any) and click on the world you wish to open.

• Spectator mode is also a fun gamemode. Being in Spectator mode is kind of like being a Minecraft ghost: you can go anywhere in your world, even through walls, without you and your nametag being seen or heard. You can even go underground and view all the cave systems, mineshafts, dungeons, and (if you're lucky) strongholds - all without the fear of suffocating.

• If you get an error message saying "You do not have permission to do that", then press esc , then Open to LAN , click Allow Cheats , and then the Save or Export to LAN . Then try again.
• By opening your world to LAN, other players on the same WiFi as you can join your world.
• You can also change another player's gamemode by putting their name in front of the command. For example, to change Bob's gamemode to survival mode, you would type in  /gamemode survival Bob .

Community Q&A

• On Java Edition, if your previous command is a gamemode command, you can simply press the up arrow and the command will appear for you. Thanks Helpful 0 Not Helpful 0

• Don't go into creative mode just to troll other players. You may get kicked out of the LAN world. Thanks Helpful 2 Not Helpful 0

How to switch a minecraft world from survival to creative to hardcore.

Want to change your Minecraft game from creative to survival or tap out of hardcore mode before you die? Here's how to do it right.

Quick Links

Why change between survival, creative, and hardcore, how to change game modes with the open lan trick, how to permanently change your minecraft game mode, key takeaways.

You can change some Minecraft game mode settings in the game, but permanently changing them for the whole world save, and all the players require you to edit some game files manually.

When you create a Minecraft world, you select your game mode, and that mode is fixed for the lifetime of the world. Or is it? Read on as we show you how to sidestep the game mode lock to temporarily or permanently change your game's mode.

When you create a new world, you select your game mode. You can choose from creative, survival, and hardcore modes. Under normal circumstances, this selection is fixed, and a permanent flag is set within the world file.

Minecraft lends itself to creativity and changing playstyles, however, and you may find that the map you intended to make a creative map feels like it would be a perfect survival map or vice versa. Or perhaps you want to start in creative mode to build your home base and then switch to survival mode to take on the world from the comfort of your freshly built castle. Or perhaps you're doing so well in your hardcore mode world that you're now anxious at the thought of losing it should you die.

Whatever your motivation for changing the world type, it's a pretty straightforward process. Let's look at two techniques you can use to change the game modes: first a temporary one for those times you need a quick fix, and then a permanent one.

This technique might be old hat to some Minecraft players, but it's worth noting as a very hasty and simple technique you can use without any advanced editing or secondary programs required at all.

Here we are in a test survival world we created for this tutorial. You can see the hearts and hunger meter above the experience and item bar.

The world was flagged as survival when we made it, and it will stay survival. However, we can temporarily skirt those rules by opening the game to the LAN for network play (even if we have no intention of playing it with other players).

Press the ESC key to open the game menu. Click "Open to LAN."

If you have never used the "Open to LAN" function before, don't be surprised if you get a firewall popup. On Windows you'll get a "Windows Security Alert" box, indicating that Windows Defender Firewall has blocked Minecraft (or, more specifically, the Java platform binary Minecraft runs on) from accessing the network. Click "Allow access" to save yourself from future Minecraft multiplayer troubleshooting headaches .

In the LAN World menu, the only important option for our purposes is to toggle Allow Cheats to "On."

As the header implies, these are the settings for other players, and if you change the game mode here it only changes the game mode for incoming players to your LAN world. If you toggled the cheats on, however, it applies to all players in the game (including you). Click "Start LAN World" when you have toggled the cheats on.

Back in the game, press the "t" key to bring up the in-game command console box. Now you can use the /gamemode command to toggle the game mode for your player character. You can use the following flags:

The motivation for switching between survival and creative mode (or vice versa) is pretty self evident. There's no practical reason for someone outside of a specialy map to use adventure mode. And spectator mode, in a single-player game or small group play setting, is really only useful if you want to fly around like a ghost and take a peek underground or sneak up on your friends.

Let's use the creative flag now to switch from survival to creative mode. Enter the command: 

After you enter the command, you'll get a text box notification the game mode change is in effect, and you'll see GUI changes related to the mode change.

Notice the hearts, hunger, and experience meter are gone leaving only the item bar. Despite the world's survival mode flag, we're now in creative mode.

You can use this trick to temporarily alter the game mode of both survival and creative mode games. This trick can also be used to turn a hardcore mode game into a creative mode game. What's interesting about this trick and hardcore mode, however, is that hardcore mode (even though we refer to it as a game mode) is actually a separate game flag.

Hardcore mode is just survival mode wherein death leads to world deletion (in the older versions of Minecraft) and permanent spectator mode (in the newer versions). So you have only one life to live in your hardcore world.

Turning a hardcore game into a creative game creates a weird sort of hybrid wherein you get all the powers that come with creative mode, but if you were to die in creative mode (either by falling into the void or using the /kill command on yourself) you'd lose your world just like you would in regular hardcore mode. We'll show you how to toggle this later in the tutorial.

When you use this trick, you toggle your game mode, but you don't permanently toggle the state of the entire world save (and using the multiplayer command /defaultgamemode doesn't work correctly on single-player worlds).

In order to make permanent changes to the game mode state, you need to edit the game file, the level.dat, and use the same formatting Minecraft uses: Named Binary Tag (NBT). Here's how to do that and which flags are important for our game mode/hardcore mode edits.

Select an NBT Editor

Because of the NBT formatting, unfortunately, you can't just pop the level.dat file into a text editor and make a quick edit (the way you might edit the server.properties of your Minecraft server to disable PVP damage ).

To edit the level.dat and related files without corrupting them, we'll need to use one of the available Minecraft-friendly NBT editors to do so. For the purposes of this tutorial, we're using NBT Studio on a Windows PC, but we'll list other options here in case you're using a different operating system or don't want to install an app at all.

• NBTExplorer -- Windows (MacOS and Linux compatible with Mono runtimes) -- One of the original Minecraft NBT editing tools. Great program, but hasn't been updated since 2017. We're including it here for posterity and as a backup option if you need it.
• NBT Studio -- Windows -- It looks similar to NBTExplorer and is the spiritual successor of the previous app, but it is a total rewrite with frequent updates. It also supports Minecraft Bedrock NBT files.
• webNBT -- Web-based -- If just need to toggle a flag or two and don't want the hassle of installing an application, WebNBT will get the job done. It's lean and doesn't have the extra features you'll find in NBT Studio, but it works with any modern web browser.

Editing Your Level.dat with NBT Studio

For this tutorial, we're using NBT Studio. The data structure of the Minecraft level.dat file will be the same regardless of what tool you load the level.dat file into, however, so feel free to follow along using webNBT or other tools.

Back up your Minecraft worlds before editing them. Copy the entire save file directory to a safe place just in case your editing and subsequent world load goes awry.

To begin editing and follow along with any of the following steps, run NBT Studio, open the location of your Minecraft save files using File > Open Folder , and navigate to the location of your Minecraft save files . For Windows users, the default location is:

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\saves

While you can load just an individual level.dat file if you wish, doing it this way allows you to easily navigate through the directory structure of all the relevant data files.

Once loaded, you should see your save files, just like the screenshot below. You can click on the + symbol beside each world to expand it.

There are tons of NBT tags inside the level.dat file, and it's best to leave things alone unless you know exactly what the tag you're looking at is and what values you can change it to. If you're curious about what they all do, you can check out the tag breakdown at the official Minecraft wiki to learn more.

Changing the Game Mode

First, let's look at changing the game mode of a given Minecraft game save. Select the name of your world, in our case "Test World I" and expand it. Within the directory you'll see multiple entries. The on which contains the world rules, including the game mode, is the level.dat entry at the bottom of the list.

Expand the level.dat entry and click on "Data." Within that data list, you'll find an entry labeled "GameType."

Although you can use keywords like "creative" to change modes when using the /gamemode command in the game, the GameType value must be set using a numeric value. Here are the values you can use:

0 - Survival 1 - Creative 2 - Adventure 3 - Spectator

Our goal is to switch the world we created from survival to creative, so we would switch the 0 to a 1. Double-click on the value and replace it with the game mode value you desire from the list above. Press CTRL+S or the save icon to save your edited tags.

Changing the Player Mode

If you've never logged into the world you're editing, you can skip this step. If you have logged into the world before, you must make one more edit. The save file remembers the state your player was in, so even if you change the world to a different mode, your player will stay in the old mode.

You can fix this issue by using the Open-to-LAN trick we outlined above and using the cheats to /gamemode yourself one last time to fix it, or you can make a quick edit in NBT Studio.

Navigate in NBT Studio to your world save and then to the sub-category of "playerdata." Select the UUID of your player. If you're the only one that plays on your world, it will be the only entry. If there are multiple players you'll need to know your UUID (or you can edit all the player files to the new game mode).

The fastest way to check your UUID is to use Mojang's UUID API. Simply copy and paste this URL into your web browser, replacing the USERNAME portion with your actual Minecraft username:

https://api.mojang.com/users/profiles/minecraft/USERNAME

UUID in hand, expand the player data entry in NBT studio

Change the value in "playerGame Type" using the same 0-4 values outlined in the previous section. To switch our player mode to creative without using the in-game workaround, we need to edit the "playerGame Type" value to 1. Again, make sure to CTRL+S or click the save icon to save your work.

Toggling Hardcore Mode

In the earlier section focused on using the Open-to-LAN workaround, we noted that if you used the survival-to-creative mode trick on a world that had been created with hardcore mode turned on, you'd end up in a sort of strange limbo where you had creative powers but would still lose your world if you died.

Let's take a look at how you can toggle hardcore mode off (if you want to turn that world into a regular survival or creative world) or on (if you want to add a little thrill to your life and turn a becoming-dull survival world into a one-life-to-live thrill ride).

If we open up the world's level.dat file in NBT Studio and scroll down, we see the "hardcore" tag on our hardcore test world is set to "1" indicating that the world is in hardcore mode even though we set our player's game mode (using the Open-to-LAN cheat) to creative.

We can leave this setting as it is (and opt to switch the player back to survival mode, recreating the experience of hardcore mode), or we can toggle this setting from a "1" to a "0" at which point the game will not be deleted or set to spectator mode upon the death of the player (regardless of whether the player dies in survival or creative mode).

Although the point of hardcore mode is that, well, it's hardcore, we certainly understand if you've grown so attached to a world that you can't stand the thought of losing it and want to convert it to a regular survival or creative world.

Armed with a little know-how (and a very handy editor), you can control the game modes of your world saves without resorting to starting over or continually fiddling with the Open-to-LAN trick to get your settings just so.

How to Use the Gamemode Command

Minecraft game modes explained.

• Why Would You Change the Game Mode?

What to Know

• Go to Settings > Game > Personal Game Mode .
• Enable cheats, then open the chat window and enter the /gamemode command.
• Adventure, Hardcore, and Spectator modes aren't available in all versions of Minecraft.

This article explains how to change the game mode in Minecraft using the /gamemode command or in the game settings. Instructions apply to Minecraft for all platforms, including Windows, PS4, and Xbox One.

You can change the game mode in the settings while playing Minecraft.

Pause the game to open the main menu and select Settings .

Select Game on the left side.

Select the Personal Game Mode drop-down menu and choose your game mode.

To change the default game mode, select Default Game Mode and choose a mode.

Scroll down further in the settings to adjust the difficulty. Difficulty affects how quickly your hunger bar is depleted and the aggressiveness of mobs.

Exit the main menu to return to the game. You'll see a message confirming that the game mode has been changed.

A quicker way to switch game modes in Minecraft is to use the gamemode cheat command. You must first enable cheats to use this method.

Open the main menu and select Settings .

On the right side of the screen, scroll down to the Cheats section and select Activate Cheats .

Exit the main menu to return to the game, then open the chat window. The way to do this depends on your platform:

• PC : Press T
• Xbox : Press right on the D-Pad
• PlayStation : Press right on the D-Pad
• Nintendo : Press right on the D-Pad
• Mobile : Tap the speech bubble icon.

Type /gamemode . As you type, you'll see your options appear in the chat window.

Enter the letter for your game mode and press Enter . For example, to switch to Creative mode, you would enter /gamemode c .

You'll see a message confirming that the game mode has been changed.

Although you selected a game mode when you first built your Minecraft world, you can switch to a different mode at any time. An exception is the Hardcore setting, which can only be chosen from the beginning and cannot be changed.

There are five game modes in Minecraft:

• Survival : The standard game mode where you start from scratch with no resources. You have limited health, and to survive, you must keep your hunger bar filled.
• Creative : Play with unlimited health and access to all resources. You can destroy any block with one strike, and you can fly (by double-jumping).
• Adventure : Blocks cannot be placed or destroyed. You still have a health bar and a hunger bar.
• Spectator : Observe your world without actively participating in the game. You can fly through objects in this mode, but you can't interact with anything.
• Hardcore : This mode locks the game at the greatest difficulty. Players have just one life and take more damage from enemies.

Spectator and Hardcore modes are only available in the Java Edition for PC.

Why Would You Change the Game Mode in Minecraft?

Creative mode gives you complete control of the game, allowing you to go anywhere and craft anything. It can be helpful if you want to test things out and get familiar with your world without having to worry about your hunger bar running out.

Survival mode is considered the standard mode for beginners. Hardcore mode is for players who want an extra challenge. Adventure and Spectator modes let you explore without affecting the environment.

If you're stuck underground, switch to Spectator mode and fly to the surface.
