HardcoreFreeCommands
by a17033828
HardcoreFreeCommands lets cheat commands run in Hardcore worlds, which vanilla normally blocks, so admin commands like gamemode and give work after a world loads.
What it does
Vanilla Minecraft keeps the Allow Commands option off in world creation for Hardcore worlds, which blocks commands such as gamemode and give. HardcoreFreeCommands switches cheat commands on automatically when a Hardcore world is played, so the restriction in the standard menu no longer applies.
The mod is server-side only, so only the server needs it and players join without installing anything. It is built for Fabric and has files for every release 1.21 – 1.21.11, twelve release versions in total, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.11 as the latest file. The code is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Commands in Hardcore mode
Cheat commands are enabled automatically for Hardcore worlds, without changing the Allow Commands button during world creation.
Admin commands after loading
Commands such as gamemode and give work once the world is loaded, which the author describes as useful for testing.
Testing and glitch checks
The author notes the mod suits testing things and saving runs when a glitch needs to be reproduced.
Single-purpose utility
The mod does one job: it changes the command restriction and adds nothing else to the game.

Use cases
Testing in Hardcore
A developer or tester can run gamemode and give commands inside a Hardcore world to reproduce a situation without starting a new world.
Saving runs and reproducing glitches
Players who save a run to check a glitch can use commands in a Hardcore world without disabling the mode first.
Who it’s for: Server owners and testers who want admin commands available in Hardcore worlds. Players on a server that runs the mod need nothing extra installed.
How it compares
No permission tp is a Fabric mod for 1.21 under All rights reserved, not open source, and either side can run it. Gamemode Hardcore is server-side only, open source under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 only, and covers 26.1.2 – 26.3 on Fabric. HardcoreFreeCommands targets the 1.21 line, so a server on that line has it available while Gamemode Hardcore needs a later version.

What the author says
HardcoreFreeCommands is a simple utility mod for Minecraft 1.21 (Fabric) that automatically enables cheat commands when playing on Hardcore mode, bypassing the standard vanilla restriction. Even if the "Allow Commands" button stays on "OFF" in the world creation menu, all admin commands (/gamemode, /give, etc.) will…
