About this Mod
A simple mod that brings back the classic gamerule names to MC 1.21.11+
Minecraft renamed all gamerules from camelCase to namespaced:snake_case in 25w44a (1.21.11 snapshot),
and even reverted the values of some rules, which broke all existing usage of gamerules.
This is a poorly implemented incompatible change. Let's "revert" it by restoring the old names in Minecraft.
For example, classic gamerules like doDaylightCycle were changed to advance_time (actually minecraft:advance_time), and doMobSpawning became spawn_mobs
What This Mod Does
Functionalities:
- Add all camelCase names as aliases for existing gamerules, e.g.
/gamerule doMobSpawning falsewill work again now - Correctly mapped rule values that were inverted, e.g.,
disableElytraMovementCheckhas the opposite value ofminecraft:elytra_movement_check
Limitation:
- This mod only restores the classic naming conventions and value mappings.
It does not revert the newly added value constraints for certain gamerules (e.g.minecraft:max_entity_cramming) - Classic rule
doFireTickandallowFireTicksAwayFromPlayerare read-only now.
Since their successorminecraft:fire_spread_radius_around_playercannot perfectly express the intention of these 2 old rules
