Minecraft 1.21.11 introduced a surprising amount of behind-the-scenes cleanup, and one of the biggest shifts is the full renaming of gamerules. If you’ve ever relied on muscle memory when typing commands, this update is going to feel a little different.

These changes don’t alter how the rules work, but they do change how you find them, type them, and reference them. To make things easier, we’ve put together a complete list of all the updated names so you can quickly match the old rules to their new versions.

Below is a full table showing every renamed gamerule in Minecraft 1.21.11.
