 Description   
Moderator Edit

Regardless of whether or not the world has cheats enabled (for example, if I explicitly mark cheats as disabled when creating the world), cheats can be turned on by merely clicking Open to Lan > Enable Cheats. This effectively renders the cheats option in the world creation page useless, and breaks the entire command hierarchy system in single player.

Title speaks for itself, I don't think we should be able to switch to Creative or have Allow Cheats be an option with Hardcore worlds. As it is now I can open the world to LAN with cheats, switch game modes and fill my chests with diamonds!

The moderator notice has a typo ("wether" instead of "whether").

Ha, how could I miss that? Thanks, guys.

Comment by [Mod] tryashtar [ 04/Jan/16 ]

Don't take this the wrong way, but has this been confirmed WAI? I haven't seen a source on anyone saying so.

Comment by [Mod] Ezekiel (ezfe) [ 04/Jan/16 ]

I suspect that's also working as intended.

Comment by [Mod] tryashtar [ 04/Jan/16 ]

Apparently this got resolved again.

I'm not sure if this would be considered a separate issue, but you can also set the default gamemode to a mode with higher privileges than yourself. For example, you are in adventure mode and then invite players in creative mode.

Reopened for reconsideration

Comment by Joonatan K [ 09/Dec/14 ]

First someone posts a bug in "suggestion" format, it is closed because of that, then all further reports are closed as duplicates?

Comment by Michael Irvine [ 16/Nov/12 ]

Isn't there an option for new features?

Comment by Gravity [ 24/Oct/12 ]

The problem is that this is opinionated, it's not a clear bug on how the system works, it's a suggested change.

Comment by Keef Pedersven [ 24/Oct/12 ]

I posted this on r/minecraftsuggestions and everyone said it was a bug not a feature. Oh well...

Comment by Gravity [ 24/Oct/12 ]

Hi there, unfortunately we do not allow feature requests on the bug tracker; this system is specifically for bugs found in Minecraft.
