== History ==
=== ''Java Edition'' ===
{{HistoryTable
|{{HistoryLine|java beta}}
|{{HistoryLine||1.8|dev=Pre-release|Added {{cmd|gamemode <''player''> <''mode''>|link=none}}. The command requires a player and numeric gamemode.}}
|{{HistoryLine|java}}
|{{HistoryLine||1.3.1|dev=12w16a|{{cmd|gamemode|link=none}} is now usable in singleplayer.|Syntax changed to {{cmd|gamemode <''mode''> <''player''>|link=none}}, where ''player'' is now optional (defaulting to the sender) and ''mode'' can be a number, or one of <code>survival</code>, <code>creative</code>, <code>s</code>, or <code>c</code>.}}
|{{HistoryLine||1.3.1|dev=12w22a|Added {{cd|adventure}} to {{cmd|gamemode|link=none}}.}}
|{{HistoryLine|||dev=12w30a|Invalid numerical game mode IDs are no longer accepted. Previously, specifying an invalid ID would place the target player into Survival mode.}}
|{{HistoryLine||1.8|dev=14w05a|Added {{cd|spectator}} to {{cmd|gamemode|link=none}}.}}
|{{HistoryLine||1.9|dev=15w43a|{{cmd|gamemode|link=none}} now displays in the chat the game mode the player switches to.}}
|{{HistoryLine|||dev=16w02a|The {{cd|m}} selector now accepts the standard literal gamemode values and abbreviations, such as {{cd|a|d=and|adventure}}, and these may be negated as well (e.g., {{cd|1=@a[gamemode=!survival]}}).}}
|{{HistoryLine||1.13|dev=17w45a|Removed abbreviated forms and numeric IDs.}}
|{{HistoryLine||1.19.3|dev=22w45a|Now this command accepts a [[Minecraft:Argument types|gamemode argument]], instead of literal subcommands.}}
