If the host enables cheating in a Minecraft world, the players can freely switch between the two game modes. With just a simple command "/game mode creative" to turn the world creative, or "/game mode survival" to turn the world survival, you can jump back and forth without having to save. In the latest versions of Minecraft, players can use "/game mode c," "/game mode 1," or "/game mode creative" to change their world to creative mode.

Switch Between The Game Modes By Commands

Creative Mode disables achievements on Bedrock and Console Editions of Minecraft. You can only die in the Creative Mode if you use the /kill command, or fall into the void. Players can spawn almost every mob in the game with spawn eggs, except for iron golems and mob bosses.
