For Minecraft: Java Edition and Minecraft: Pocket Edition, gamerules are supported. These gamerules allow you to change in-game world options to customize your server experience. Java Edition and Pocket Edition support different gamerules which can be found below.
To change Minecraft gamerules:
1. Join your server and ensure you're Op(using this guide for Java Edition or this guide for Pocket Edition).
2. Once you're Op, you can now run this command in-game to change a gamerule:
/gamerule <gamerule name> <true/false>
For example, you would be able to disable mob spawning in-game by using this command:
/gamerule doMobSpawning false
Please note that the commands and gamerules are case-sensitive and must be entered exactly as shown below.
