FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

in minecraft you just have to type "/gamemode #" to change modes. 0 is survival, 1 is creative, 2 is adventure. will ingame creative and survival switch be in our future soon?

The current creative mode overrides the hand to break everything. You cant to this while the game is running, so a command for that is currently impossible.

I think it could be possible re-write creative mode. A variable could keep the player's name and his current mode and later, in another part of the script, check the player's mode. For example, a function that destroy all punched nodes if the player is in creative mode; etc.

The problem with these functions is that you have to click for every block and cant hold down the mouse button.

It could be a limitation, but add the posibility to destroy nodes with all tools and creative mode per player is a great feature. In the another hand, the player won't destroy unexpected nodes

What i did was i added a 'creative' privilege for creative mode, so that the infinite inventory only shows up for players who have it. the only thing missing is something to update the players' formspec when the priv is granted/revoked.

The problem with these functions is that you have to click for every block and cant hold down the mouse button.

The real problem is the other side: one click, a lot of nodes without control
