Gamemode Inventories
by S3B4S5
Gamemode Inventories keeps a separate inventory for each game mode, so switching between Survival, Creative, Adventure and Spectator on a server does not mix items.
What it does
Each of the four game modes gets its own stored inventory. When a player changes mode, the server saves the current items under that mode and restores the items last kept for the new one. Server administrators who play survival and want to try creative builds or test a setup can do so without carrying survival items into creative or the reverse.
The mod was first made for running a server with friends, and it targets owners who still play survival normally but move into creative for construction, experiments or fixes. It is server-side only, so players join without installing anything, and it is compatible with the Curios, Sophisticated Backpacks and Accessories mods. Files exist for NeoForge only, covering 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, and the code is under the Apache License 2.0, though the project is not open source.
Key features
Per-mode inventories
Survival, Creative, Adventure and Spectator each keep an inventory that is saved and restored separately.
Automatic switching
Items are stored and reloaded when the game mode changes, with no command or manual step needed.
Curios and backpack support
The mod works alongside Curios, Sophisticated Backpacks and Accessories, so equipped slots are handled with the rest of the inventory.

Who it’s for: Server owners and administrators who play survival on their own server and want creative or adventure sessions kept apart from their regular items.

What the author says
Gamemode Inventories is a simple server-side mod that keeps a separate inventory for each gamemode. I originally made it because I needed something like this while running a server with friends, and I figured it could be useful for someone else too.
