Fake Gamemode

by KeksYT1

Fake Gamemode lets a Fabric player show Creative Mode commands and an operator-style interface without any real server permissions.

FabricClient-side onlyAll rights reserved1.21.11

What it does

The mod runs on the client only and changes what the player sees. Commands such as the gamemode command appear to work in chat, and the interface shifts to a Creative look with the health and hunger bars hidden. Switching back with the survival gamemode command restores the normal Survival HUD. Fake Gamemode needs Fabric API, which must be installed alongside it.

The mod is built for harmless pranks: a player can make friends believe they hold operator rights and pretend to use admin commands on a server. Any action the commands appear to perform stays on the client, and the server remains completely unaffected because it never receives those changes.

Fake Gamemode is published for Fabric on Minecraft 1.21.11 only, with the 1.0.0 file released on 2026-06-01 in the beta channel. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.

Key features

  1. Fake operator commands

    Typed gamemode and other admin commands show a response in chat, although no server permission is granted or used.

  2. Creative-style interface

    The client switches to a Creative appearance and hides the health and hunger bars to suggest elevated rights.

  3. Instant return to survival

    Using the survival gamemode command brings back the normal Survival HUD without a restart.

  4. Server stays untouched

    Commands are only simulated locally, so server state and real permissions are not changed by the mod.

Questions

Does Fake Gamemode need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is a required dependency, so it must be installed alongside the mod on Fabric for 1.21.11.

Does the server have to run Fake Gamemode?

No. Only the player's game needs it, and servers run without it.

Do the fake commands change server permissions?

No. Commands are simulated on the client, and the server does not grant or act on any permission they seem to use.
