How to change default minecraft gamemode

Requirements

  • A Minecraft server hosted on Final Hosting

  • Access to your Final Hosting control panel

  • Desired default game mode:

    • survival

    • creative

    • adventure

    • spectator


⚙️ Step 1: Access server.properties

  1. Log in to your Final Hosting control panel.

  2. Open the file manager or connect via FTP.

  3. Find and open the file:

    server.properties

Step 2: Set the Default Game Mode

  1. Look for the line:

    gamemode=survival
  2. Change it to your desired mode:

    • survival

    • creative

    • adventure

    • spectator

    Example:

    gamemode=creative
  3. Save the file.


Step 3: Restart the Server

  1. Go back to your Final Hosting dashboard.

  2. Click "Restart" on your Minecraft server.

  3. The new default game mode will apply to all new players and to players who haven't manually changed their mode.


Step 4: (Optional) Force Gamemode on Join

To make all players switch to the default gamemode when they log in:

  1. In server.properties, find:

    force-gamemode=false
  2. Change it to:

    force-gamemode=true

This ensures that all players start in the set gamemode, regardless of what they had previously.
