Description

This is a very lean plugin that will allow you to set the game mode for any world on your server.

NOTICE:
My Worlds and Multiverse include this functionality. If you would like me to continue maintenance, please post below.

Summary

Minecraft 1.8 came with the ability to set your server as a creative or survival server, using the server.properties file. However, it does not allow you to have one creative world and one survival world. DefaultGameMode allows you to do just that. Using config.yml, you can specify a game mode (creative or survival) for each of your worlds. You do not have to specify one for every world. If you leave one out, it will default to the gamemode setting found in your server.properties file. All settings apply globally, to all players.

Permissions is never used to determine anyone's game mode. This plugin is designed use as little processing and memory as possible. It is not meant to be feature filled, but to allow you to quickly have creative and survival worlds. It does not generate or load multiple worlds. You will need another plugin to do that. DefaultGameMode does not inhibit the use of /gamemode [username] [0/1].

Commands

/dgmtest - Debug info. Right now, it just tells you whether debug mode is enabled (see debug in configuration below).

Configuration

The following config.yml is automatically generated if the plugin cannot find it (like when you run it for the first time). It includes an explanation on how configuration works, and it sets "world" and "world_nether" to survival mode.

debug: false
modes:
    world: survival
    world_nether: survival

All you need for the plugin to work is…

modes:
    [world name]: [game mode]

[world name] is the name of a world, and [game mode] is either creative or survival. The debug setting is not necessary; it will default to false. If you set it to true, the plugin with spit out useful information to the console. This is intended to help you figure out why your configuration might not be working.

Once again…
You do not have to specify a game mode for each world. If you leave one out, it will default to the gamemode setting found in your server.properties file. All settings apply globally, to all players.

Plans

I'm planning on discontinuing this plugin since My Worlds and Multiverse include this functionality. If you would like me to continue updating, please post below.

• Add permissions node for special players who are exempt from all game mode settings. For example, to allow them to switch between worlds and stay in creative mode.
  • Add a command to toggle this in-game.
• Possibly remove the /dgmtest command.
