 Description   

If playing a survival map without cheats enabled, even the basic commands in chat will not work. These might include /tell or /help.

Steps To Reproduce:

  • Create a new survival world with cheats disabled
  • Type </tell test> in chat
  • See error message "Cheats aren't enabled in this level"

The following commands are available to all players in the Java edition, without cheats:

  • /?
  • /help
  • /me
  • /msg
  • /seed
  • /tell
  • /trigger
  • /w

According to the changelog for 1.2 beta build 4, "Players can now use '/tell', even without OP permissions"

This still appears to be an issue however.

Same thing in mcpe 0.16.2 on wm10 on my 950. Even typing "/help" returns a "cheats aren't enabled in this level."
