Set game rules on a Bedrock server

Last updated: July 23, 2026

Change Minecraft Bedrock Edition game rules through the NolimitHost console or in-game chat.

Use the gamerule command to change how the active Bedrock world behaves. A game rule is a setting that controls world behavior, such as whether players keep their items after death. Game rule names are case-sensitive.

Before you begin

Log in to the NolimitHost Game Panel at https://panel.nolimithost.cc/ and select your Minecraft Bedrock server. Start the server and wait until the world finishes loading.
Enable cheats before changing game rules in Minecraft chat.
Join as an operator (a player with admin powers) when using the in-game method.
Create a backup before changing rules that could affect builds or player data.
