Selective Creative Inventory
by voidanomaly
Selective Creative Inventory gives chosen players access to the normal creative inventory on a NeoForge server without switching their game mode.
What it does
Server operators grant the creative inventory to individual players while those players keep their survival or adventure rules. Health, hunger, damage, death, flight restrictions, item consumption and rest all stay as they are, so a granted player still takes damage, still needs to eat and still loses durability on tools and armor. Block-breaking speed, interaction range and projectile consumption also follow survival rules.
The grant is handled by commands that need permission level 2. A player's selection carries over through logouts and changes of dimension, and it is copied to them when they respawn. Granting access does not turn the player into a creative mode player, and the mod is open source under the MIT License. It is published for NeoForge 1.21.1 and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it.
Key features
Per-player creative access
Operators can give selected players the creative inventory while the rest of the server keeps the normal game mode.
Survival rules stay in place
Granted players keep survival health, hunger, damage, death, durability and block-breaking rules.
Creative tools for granted players
Players who are enabled can open the creative tabs, pick up and remove items, duplicate whole stacks and use pick-block, and they can keep custom creative hotbars.
Persistent access
The setting stays in effect after logouts and dimension changes, and it is transferred to the player after a death.

How it compares
Simply Fly is a server-side only NeoForge mod for 1.21.1 under the MIT License, with flight handled by the server alone. Schematicon is a client and server NeoForge mod for 1.21.1, open source under the MIT License, so it has to be installed on every player's side as well as the server. Selective Creative Inventory is also client and server and open source under the MIT License, and it targets only 1.21.1.
