Game Rules

The mod allows configuring game rules in existing worlds without enabling cheats or commands! Multiple mod variants are available, each determining which specific parameters can be modified. To access the game rule editing screen, use Mod Menu or the special key combination created by the mod (not assigned by default).

Available Editing Rules

The list of game rules available for modification depends on the installed mod version and the gaming environment. Each variation (base, technical, and hardcore) offers a unique set of customizable rules.

On multiplayer servers, rules available for editing through the mod are limited to the version installed on the server side and require operator permissions to use.

Single player features:

The same rule lists apply in single player, but with minor adjustments depending on cheat mode activation in your world:

  • If cheats are enabled, the list of available rules expands by one level (e.g., hardcore version shows rules from technical version, technical shows rules from base version)
  • In hardcore survival, regardless of the mod version, rules can be changed only once! This restriction was added for balance, allowing long-running hardcore worlds to adjust settings (such as vine spreading) that might not have been available when the world was created years ago

The mod displays the date and exact time each rule was changed in your world, providing transparency for other players.

Mod Variations

Base Version

Provides access to all game rules in both single player and multiplayer servers (with operator permissions).

Technical

Limits the list of game rules available for editing, excluding parameters that could be used as cheats while preserving useful features for experienced users.

Permitted rules:

  • allowFireTicksAwayFromPlayer (version 1.21.5+)
  • announceAdvancements
  • commandBlockOutput
  • commandModificationBlockLimit
  • disableElytraMovementCheck
  • doFireTick
  • doImmediateRespawn

  • reducedDebugInfo
  • sendCommandFeedback
  • showDeathMessages
  • spawnChunkRadius
  • tntExplodes (version 1.21.5+)

Hardcore

Carefully filtered list of rules not considered cheating, particularly important for extended gameplay in hardcore mode. These parameters are often added in game updates, and configuring them for new worlds is standard practice.

Available rules:

  • allowFireTicksAwayFromPlayer (version 1.21.5+)
  • doFireTick
  • doVinesSpread
  • locatorBar (version 1.21.6+)
  • mobGriefing
  • spawnChunkRadius

The limited rule list in the hardcore version applies only to single player worlds with cheats disabled and multiplayer servers. With cheats enabled in single player, all rules from the technical mod variant become accessible.
