The game mode switcher in-game. The first option, Creative mode, is selected.

The game mode switcher is a feature in Java Edition that allows the player to quickly switch between different game modes with keyboard hotkeys, when commands are enabled.

Usage

The game mode switcher is activated on a combination of debug hotkey, when F3 is held down and F4 is then pressed. The game mode choice can be made by pressing F4 repeatedly until the game mode of choice is outlined. When F3 is released, that game mode is selected and applied to the player. The game mode options are, in order, Creative, Survival, Adventure, and Spectator. The game mode initially selected when the screen is opened is whatever game mode the player was last in. Before the game mode has been changed at all, the default selection is Creative if currently in any other game mode or Survival if currently in Creative mode.
