GAME MODE SWITCHER

New F3 debug feature which allows you to switch game modes with traditional “tabbing” functionality.

  • Hold F3 and tap F4 to open the menu
  • Tapping F4 will cycle the game mode, or you can use the mouse
  • Release F3 to apply
  • Your last game mode is remembered and will be the first selected option, so you can quickly toggle between two game modes with a single press of F3 + F4!

F3 + N (TOGGLE SPECTATOR)

A small change has been made to this debug combination.

  • By default, using this key would return to Creative after toggling from Spectator. It now will toggle back to the previous game mode you had
