How do I set default gamemode to creative?

🎮 How to Change the Gamemode on Your Minecraft Server

Log into the Control Panel.

Click 'Manage' next to your server.

Navigate to your server files.

Find and open the server.properties file.

Locate gamemode and set it to 1 (Creative Mode).

If the gamemode parameter does not exist, you can add it manually at the bottom of the list:

gamemode=1

Press the 'Save File' button.

Restart your server for the change to take effect.
