Command
/gamerule
Shows or changes the value of a game rule.
Syntax
| /gamerule <rule> |
| /gamerule <rule> <value> |
Arguments
| Argument | Kind of value | What to type |
|---|---|---|
| <value> | True or false | The new value of the rule: true or false for on and off rules, a whole number for number rules. Leave it out to see the current value. |
Details
| Permission level | 2: operators, worlds with cheats on, command blocks and functions |
| Works in | Operators on multiplayer servers, singleplayer worlds with cheats enabled, and command blocks and functions. |
| Result | Without a value it reports "Game rule ... is currently set to ...". With a value it reports "Game rule ... is now set to ...". The number /execute store saves is the value of the rule: 1 or 0 for rules that are true or false, the number itself for number rules. |
| Query | Writing only the rule name shows its current value and changes nothing. |
| Set | Writing a value after the rule name changes the rule. Rules that are on or off take true or false. Number rules take a whole number, and some have a minimum or maximum (for example max_snow_accumulation_height accepts 0 to 8). |
| Already set | Setting a rule to the value it already has fails with "Game rule ... is already set to ...". |
| Rule names | Rule names are written in lower case with underscores, such as keep_inventory. Each rule can also be written with the minecraft: prefix, such as minecraft:keep_inventory. |
