About this project
What does Preferred Gamerules add?
Preferred Gamerules
A lightweight mod for customizing the default values of gamerules, i.e the values that are pre-selected when creating a new world.
Preferences are saved in .minecraft/config/preferred-gamerules.properties.
Each gamerule name is prefixed with gamerule..
Example for MC 1.21.11:
gamerule.minecraft:fire_damage=false
gamerule.minecraft:keep_inventory=true
Example for older versions of Minecraft:
gamerule.fire_damage=false
gamerule.keep_inventory=true
Preferences can also be edited in-game via ModMenu, if installed. In this case, only values that are different from vanilla's default will be written to the config.
