List of Gamerules

Gamerules let you customize how your Minecraft world works. You can set a gamerule using the following command in your console:

Java Edition & Bedrock Edition: gamerule <rule_name> <value>

📝 Note: On Bedrock, do not include the / when typing commands in the console — only use it in-game. Also, as of Java Edition 26.x, gamerule names have changed from camelCase (e.g. keepInventory) to snake_case (e.g. keep_inventory). Bedrock still uses camelCase.
