Gamemode Detector
by widz_a_
Gamemode Detector shows a notice on the client when the player's game mode changes, so a switch no longer goes unnoticed.
What it does
When a game mode switch happens, Gamemode Detector displays a message to the player, which helps when the change was not expected, for example on a server that changes modes automatically. The notice appears only on the client, so only the player's own game needs the mod. Gamemode Detector requires Fabric API and Mod Menu, and it is published for Fabric across 7 release versions, 1.19 – 1.20.1, under the MIT License and open source.

What the author says
Have you ever joined a SMP and wondered if the owner is switching in/out of creative mode? This is a client mode having one purpose: to notify you when other people switch their gamemode. Pretty simple, right?
