The first test world is a survival world. In the screenshot above you can see our two test worlds “NBT Test” and “NBT Test II”. When you run the application for the first time it will automatically load the default Minecraft save directory for your operating system. Copy the entire save file directory to a safe place in case your editing goes awry.

You can run all three OS versions as a stand alone portable application. You can read more about the tool at the official thread or visit the Github page downloads are available for all three platforms at both links. To that end the aptly named NBTExplorer, an cross-platform tool available for Windows, Mac, and Linux, is a tailor made tool for the task. Further, you need to use the same formatting Minecraft uses: Named Binary Tag (NBT). In order to make permanent changes to the gamemode state you need to edit the game file, the level.dat. Permanently Change Your Minecraft Game Mode In order to make a permanent and global change to the world save you’ll need to do a little editing in the guts of the save file. When you use this trick, you toggle your game mode, but you don’t permanently toggle the state of the entire world save (and using the multiplayer command /defaultgamemode doesn’t work correctly on single player worlds).

We’ll show you how to toggle this later in the tutorial. Turning a hardcore game into a creative game creates a weird sort of hybrid wherein you get all the powers that come with creative mode, but if you were to die in creative mode (either by falling into the void or using the /kill command on yourself) you’d lose your world just like you would in regular hardcore mode. Hardcore mode is actually just survival mode wherein death leads to world deletion (so you have only one life to live in your hardcore world). What’s interesting about this trick in regard to hardcore mode, however, is that hardcore mode (even though we refer to it is a game mode) is actually a separate game flag. This trick can also be used to turn a hardcore mode game into a creative mode game. You can use this trick to temporarily alter the game mode of both survival and creative mode games. Despite the world’s survival mode flag we’re now in creative mode. Notice the hearts, hunger, and experience meter are gone leaving on the item bar. (If you want to switch back to survival mode, use the command “/gamemode s”.) Enter the command “/gamemode c” to change your game mode to creative. Click “Start LAN World” when you have toggled the cheats on.īack in the game, press the “t” key to bring up the ingame console box. If you toggled the cheats on, however, it applies to all players in the game (including you). In the LAN World menu the only important option for our purposes is to toggle Allow Cheats to “On.” Like the header implies, these are the settings for other players, and if you change the game mode here it only changes the game mode for incoming players to your LAN world. Hit ESC to pull up the game menu and click “Open to LAN.” However we can temporarily skirt those rules by opening the game to the LAN for network play (even if we have no intention of playing it with other players). The world was flagged as survival when we made it and it will stay survival. You can see the hearts and hunger meter above the experience and item bar. Here we are in a test survival world we created for this tutorial.
This technique might be old hat to some Minecraft players but it’s worth noting as a very hasty and simple technique you can use without any advanced editing or secondary programs required at all. Let’s look at two techniques, one temporary and one permanent, you can use to change game modes. Whatever your motivation for changing the world type, it’s a pretty straight forward process. Or perhaps you want to start in creative mode to build your home base and then switch to survival mode to take on the world from the comfort of your freshly built castle. Minecraft lends itself to creativity and changing playstyles, however, and you may find that the map you intended to make a creative map feels like it would be a perfect survival map or vice versa. Under normal circumstances this selection is fixed and a permanent flag is set within the world file. You can choose from creative, survival, and hardcore modes. When you create a new world you select your game mode.
