nocreative
by yuyaryshev
nocreative is a small utility that keeps players in survival mode by blocking other game modes on a server or in a world.
What it does
The mod forbids every game mode except survival, so creative mode is unavailable to the player it applies to. A command named nocreative toggles this protection on and off, and the server or world owner controls it. Survival play means players must gather resources and solve problems to get items, which is the purpose the author gives for the mod, aimed at small children on shared worlds.
Adults can bypass the restriction by uninstalling the mod, so it is a protection for younger players rather than a permanent lock. Files are published for Fabric and Forge across 17 release versions, 1.20.1 – 1.21.11, under the MIT License, and the code is open source. Both the server and every player need the mod.
