Gamemode Shortcuts
by rumiii
Gamemode Shortcuts gives admins and builders short commands such as gms, gmc, gma and gmsp for switching between game modes without typing the full gamemode command.
What it does
Typing /gamemode survival, /gamemode creative and the other full commands becomes slow when a player switches modes often. This Fabric mod registers short aliases that do the same job: gms for survival, gmc for creative, gma for adventure and gmsp for spectator. Server admins, builders and players who test things out can change mode in a single short command, and a quick trip into spectator to check a location takes less typing.
The mod is a client-side only install, so only the client needs it and it does not affect other players who do not have it. Server-side installation is needed for the commands to run on the server. It requires Fabric API as a dependency and is written for a vanilla-compatible Fabric server. Files are published for Fabric only, and the single version is 1.21.11, with 1.0.0 as the latest file dated 2026-07-24. The author has said a Paper version may follow later. The code is released under CC0 1.0 Universal, which places it in the public domain, so the mod is not open source in the usual sense of a copyleft license.
Key features
Short gamemode aliases
Commands such as gms, gmc, gma and gmsp replace the full gamemode survival style command with the same result.
Quick spectator checks
Switching to spectator for a moment to look at something takes one short command rather than the full typed form.
Fast switching while building
An admin who moves between creative building and survival testing can change mode with a few keystrokes.
Vanilla-compatible behavior
The aliases give the same outcome as the vanilla gamemode command, so no separate game rules are changed.

What the author says
A small quality-of-life mod for anyone who switches gamemodes often - server admins, builders, and players testing things out. Instead of typing the full /gamemode survival command every time, you get short, memorable aliases that do the same thing. If you're an admin who flips between Creative and Survival…
