I was wondering how to make a creative server in Minecraft...I just started playing the 1.8 update and would love to play with friends in creative mode...so how would I go about doing this?

I thought that thread just turned into a thread about the dakkadakka MC server, so I thought I would get more replies as a new thread.

There's two ways of doing it:

1. in your server folder there should be server.cfg (you might not see this if you haven't started the server before) file which contains settings for your server.

You should see this:

#Minecraft server properties
#Wed Sep 14 18:28:40 EEST 2011
level-name=M<--------------your map's name
allow-nether=true
view-distance=10
spawn-monsters=true
online-mode=true
difficulty=1
gamemode=0<--------------IMPORTANT
spawn-animals=true
max-players=20
server-ip=
pvp=true
level-seed=MaudDib<--------------your map's seed
server-port=25565
allow-flight=false
white-list=false
motd=A Minecraft Server


Just change the gamemode to 1 (or 0 I can't remember which is creative)

And save

2. When you have the server running you can type to the bottom: gamemode "player" "x" and then hit enter.

Note that this only changes one player being in creative mode not all. In place of x you put 1 or 0.
Note that if you change players gamemode from creative to survivial while they are flying they will be logged out and teleported to ground.

Thanks illuknisaa.
