Preferred Gamerules

by Estecka

Preferred Gamerules lets a server owner change the default values that new worlds start with for each gamerule.

FabricServer-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.19.2 – 26.3

What it does

The mod changes the values that new worlds start with, so the gamerules do not have to be set by hand afterwards. It runs on the server only, so players join without installing anything. Files are published for Fabric alone, for 27 release versions across 1.19.2 – 26.3, under the MIT License and open source. Mod Menu is optional and allows the preferences to be edited in-game.

Key features

  1. Custom default gamerules

    Default values for gamerules are set in a config file and applied when a world is first generated.

  2. Only changed values saved

    With Mod Menu installed, edits made in-game are written to the config only where they differ from vanilla defaults.

  3. Lightweight configuration

    The mod is small in scope and only touches the defaults used at world creation.
