Disable Cheats
by RealMikoto
Disable Cheats brings back the cheat toggle that Minecraft moved to a one-time world-creation setting.
What it does
Since the last update to the Allow Cheats option, it is fixed at world creation, and the pause-menu toggle only flips time in Hardcore mode. Disable Cheats restores the classic toggle on the pause menu, so a world can have cheats turned on or off after it was created. The mod targets 26.2 and 26.3 on Fabric and NeoForge, and it runs on the client alone. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.

Guards against misclicks
Survival play is no longer one accidental click away from enabling cheats, since the toggle can be controlled on the client.
