How to switch to Creative mode in Minecraft

In some circumstances, changing game modes in Minecraft may be deemed cheating, however, it can allow players to do a number of things in the middle of the game. There are now four game modes available, one of which is exclusively available in Minecraft Java Edition. Survival, Creative, Adventure, and, the exclusive one, Spectator.

You choose your game mode when you create a new world. There are several game modes to choose from: creative, survival, and hardcore. This selection is fixed under normal conditions, and a permanent flag is set in the world file.

However, because Minecraft encourages creativity and adapts to different playstyles, you may find that the map you intended to design as a creative map turns out to be a wonderful survival map or vice versa. Alternatively, you might begin by building your home base in creative mode, then switch to survival mode to take on the world from the comfort of your newly constructed castle.

How to switch to Creative mode in Minecraft

It’s a fairly simple process, regardless of your reason for changing the world.

Switching to creative mode, for example, can let players get out of a situation they wouldn’t be able to get out of in survival mode. Alternatively, you may construct a house without having to hunt for resources. Minecraft’s creative mode removes the survival components of the game and lets players easily build and demolish structures and mechanisms using a limitless supply of blocks and the ability to fly.

Because players are indestructible in Creative mode, they have no health or hunger bars to obstruct their construction (though it is still possible to eat). If the player is not carrying a sword, trident, or debug stick, they can instantaneously destroy all blocks (including normally indestructible blocks like bedrock, end portal frames, and so on). These blocks, on the other hand, are not dropped and must be obtained from the Creative inventory.

Players in Creative mode have the ability to fly. Double-tap the jump key to activate flight. To move, use the jump key to go up and the sneak key to go down, as well as the movement keys, which are WASD by default. By double-tapping jump again, the player can stop soaring in mid-air and fall to the ground. In Java Edition, touching the ground while flying inhibits flight, but not in Bedrock Edition. Flying is not disabled by getting into a minecart or a bed.

In Creative mode, players are immune to damage. Going too far into the void, however, will kill the player (in Java Edition, although it is possible to stand on it in Bedrock), however, the player can fly around in the void as long as they do not dip below Y=-128. The only way to die in Creative mode is to use the “/kill” command or external editors. [Only available in Java Edition] Creative players are fully unaffected in Bedrock Edition, just as they are in Spectator mode.

Unless Peaceful mode is enabled, mobs still spawn as they do in other game modes (including from spawners), but they are all passive toward the players and do not attack (even if they stare at the player in strange ways). If the player enters the End while in Creative mode, the ender dragon will attack, but will not be able to hurt the player. [Only available in Java Edition] Others summoning zombies for backup attempt to assault the player, but they do not injure him and quit attacking after a few seconds. With flint and steel, the player can still light creepers.

If the game can identify that a block was broken by the player, the block does not drop. If the game cannot detect how a block broke without ambiguity, the block is dropped.  In Creative, mobs killed by the player drop things, while most other entities do not. When containers are broken, they also spill their contents. The minecart is a significant exception to the no-drops rule, as it will drop itself as an item if renamed; this is considered deliberate behavior.

Creating a new Creative world or opening an existing Creative world in Bedrock Edition permanently disables awards, trophies, and leaderboard updates for that game, but has no additional effects on gameplay. Achievements, trophies, and leaderboard updates only work in games that have always been in Survival mode.

In Creative, players have a greater range of placement, destruction, and attack than in Survival.

Now that you know about Creative Mode, let’s switch to it.

Requirements to switch Game Modes

In order to use game commands in Minecraft, you must enable cheats in your world.

Directions to switch to Creative Mode

  1. In Minecraft, the simplest way to run a command is from the chatbox. The game control for opening the chat window varies depending on the Minecraft version:
  • If you’re using Java Edition on a PC or Mac, you can open the chatbox by pressing the T button.
  • You must tap on the chat button at the top of the screen if you are using Pocket Edition (PE).
  • You must press the D-Pad (right) on the Xbox controller if you are using an Xbox 360 or Xbox One.
  • If you have a PS3 or PS4 console, you must hit the D-pad (right) on the PS controller.
  • You must hit the right arrow button on the gamepad if you are a Wii U user.
  • You must hit the right arrow button on the controller if you are using the Nintendo Switch.
  • If you have Windows 10 Edition installed, you must press the T button.
  • If you’re using the Education Edition, you’ll need to press the T button.
  1. We’ll use the following command to change the game mode to Creative in this example: 

/gamemode c

In the chat window, type the command. The command will appear in the game window’s lower-left corner as you type. To run the command, press the Enter key.

After you’ve inserted the cheat, the game mode will be changed to Creative

  1. The notification “Your game mode has been updated” will show in the game window’s lower-left corner. Additionally, your health and hunger meters will no longer be visible above the Hotbar.

You have finally switched to Creative Mode in Minecraft. You’ll have unlimited resources and won’t be attacked by mobs. Enjoy playing!
