Force Survival Mode


Force Survival Mode is a restrictive datapack for Minecraft that forcefully sets all players to Survival mode every tick.

Even if someone switches to Creative or Spectator using commands, the datapack immediately reverts them back. Ideal for challenge maps, servers with strict rules, or adventure setups where Creative access must be completely blocked.

Features

  • Forces Survival gamemode every game tick
  • Works on all players, including operators
  • Prevents use of Creative or Spectator mode at all times

Installation

  • Reload the world or run /reload

Isn't it better, performance wise, to target only players that aren't on survival?
execute as @a[​gamemode=!survival] run gamemode survival

Also running it every tick seems like overkill.

Yes, you're right. I'll adjust that in the near future.
But performance issues shouldn't be caused by one command per tick.
