Remove gamemode change announcements from other ops

[Gdoug]

I run an RPG server for a group of friends and we op everyone for access to a few things (like teleporting via map waypoints and such).

As the GM, I frequently go in and out of creative mode to trigger special events but the announcement to everyone else basically tells them "something crazy is about to happen!" which kills the suspsense.

I'm talking about the one that says so-and-so has gone into creative mode (and if there is an announcement whenever I generate an item I'd want to remove that too).

How can I keep them as ops but remove that announcement?

Thank you,

Are you using NEI? You'd be able to hop in and out of creative at will with it only popping up for you

Yes we use NEI.

I think I see how to do that.

I press E to bring up that screen.

In the top LEFT icons I hit the C button.

I see a message "You are now playing creative", but from watching the server console I don't see any message there.

Whereas if I type /gamemode 0, the server output screen says "Soandso: Set own game mode to Creative Mode"

Does that mean using the NEI button avoids the message broadcast to other OPs?

When you're in your inventory
1: click options
2: click inventory
3: click the global button and then on the mode button (you want cheat mode)

This should bring up a bunch of options in your inventory. There should be a c there that will change your game mode when you click it

Thanks! I see that.

A few final questions:

1) There is no announcement when I switch NEI into cheat mode?

2) No announcement when I use NEI to go into creative mode and back to adventure mode?

3) No announcement when I then use that to create items or other effects (now I see other cool stuff I can do like weather changes?)

4) Are there any other things that will behave strangely when I have NEI set to cheat mode?

Thanks!

As far as I'm aware... The only one who sees your mode and what you gave yourself from NEI is you. I would try it with one of your crew you trust to keep his/her mouth shut about the change to make sure though

So it seems to work, but there is a downside:

When I am in cheat mode on NEI, I can't look up recipes with it. If I click on a recipe, it clones the item and spams a message to the game.

So I have to switch back and forth between modes in NEI, which isn't a giant pain but unfortunate.

There is (I think) a simpler solution than this. I'm pretty sure there is a gamerule that prevents the message from showing up on server debug screen.

Edit: it's logAdminCommands
