Super Gamemode Switcher
by n1n
Super Gamemode Switcher lets a server allow players to change their gamemode without holding operator status, through a server tool that can be configured.
What it does
The mod adds a server tool that switches a player between gamemodes without the operator permission normally needed for the /gamemode command. Creative Mode and Spectator Mode can be set for a player, and the tool can also be used to change the gamemode of other players. Server owners decide which selections the tool offers, so a server can limit switching to the modes it wants.
Spectator Glow is an optional setting. When it is enabled, a spectator's invisible head glows for the other spectators, so they can see one another while moving through the world. The setting is off by default. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with files for 1.21 – 26.2, and it is distributed under the MIT License without being open source.
The server must run the mod, while players may add it or leave it out, so it works on the server side alone. The latest file is V1+mod for 26.2, dated 2024-10-03, and the same file is listed for every loader. Data pack packages are also offered for server platforms that use them.
