Global Gamerules (Neoforge)
by LunarLupa
Global Gamerules is a NeoForge server mod that lets server owners set gamerules through a config file, so the rules apply to the world on every join.
What it does
The mod reads a configuration file where gamerules are set at the level of the whole server. When a player joins the world, the configured values are applied, so the difficulty and other rules stay the same without running commands by hand each time. The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing it, and the server needs it installed for the settings to take effect. Files are published for NeoForge on 1.21.1, released 2026-04-20, under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later, and the code is open source.
Key features
Config-driven gamerules
Gamerules are set in a config file at the server level instead of being typed as commands.
Applied on join
Configured rules run when a player joins the world, so a difficulty setting is not lost between sessions.
Difficulty locking
The mod can lock the world's difficulty so players cannot change it with commands.

This mod lets you set gamerules, your world's difficulty as well as commands that are executed when you join a world. This mod also has the capability of locking your world's difficulty. But keep in mind that this is not reversible.
