Fluff Gamemode Control
Fluff Gamemode Control lets server staff switch each player between Survival, Creative, Adventure and Spectator modes using commands, with permission support for restricting who may use them.
What it does
Server owners can change a player's gamemode with commands, covering the Survival, Creative, Adventure and Spectator modes. Access to each command can be restricted through permission nodes, so only chosen staff or groups can change modes. Individual players can also be controlled without granting broad operator rights.
The mod is a server-side Forge mod for Minecraft 1.20.1, and only the server needs it, so players join without installing anything. Files are published for Forge alone, with 1.0.0 as the single release, dated 2025-10-02. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Four gamemode commands
Commands switch a player to Survival, Creative, Adventure or Spectator mode, and the same actions can be run from the console.
Permission support
Each gamemode command can be granted or denied through permission nodes, so access follows the server's permission groups.
Shortcut command aliases
Short gm-style aliases are available as an alternative to the full command, for faster use during play.

Use cases
Staff managing a survival server
Moderators can put a player into Spectator mode to inspect a build without giving that player unrestricted creative access.
Event hosts
A host can move participants into Adventure mode for a match and back to Survival afterwards, with each change limited by permission.
Who it’s for: Server owners and administrators running Forge 1.20.1 servers who want gamemode changes limited by permission groups rather than handed out to everyone with operator status.
How it compares
Easy Commands is a Fabric, Forge and NeoForge mod for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 that runs on client and server, so every player needs it, and it is not open source. Kill to Spectate is a server-side only Forge mod for 1.20.1 under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and it is open source. Fluff Gamemode Control covers only the gamemode commands, while those two mods are built around other server tasks.
