New "Learner" Gamemode [for when playing with new players]

I often find myself playing multiplayer with an inexperienced player, whether its a girlfriend, older family member, or friend who doesn't play games often. I find that new players like these would rather focus on building a cool house or town with the blocks they collect, rather than worry about progression and combat. To accommodate for players like these I usually put the world on peaceful and turn on keepInventory to make the game more fun for them, but hindering me from experiencing the full game. I always wished there was a specific gamemode I can enable for new players so they don't have to worry about survival, while I can experience the full game in hard difficulty without keepInventory on.

 

Features of "Learner Mode" could include:

-Removal of the health bar and hunger bar, but can still take knockback from hits.

-Aggressive Mobs ignore players in Learner Mode, until provoked.

-A "Return Home" button in the inventory that teleports them back to their spawnpoint

 

even outside of the Mutliplayer setting, having a learner mode can allow for inexperienced players to become more situated with all of the game's features, since Peaceful Mode removes so many mobs with their exclusive drops and features.

    So would there be a way to distinguish between the learner player(s) and regular player(s)?

    I feel like a health bar would still be essential, but I think this would be a great idea. Maybe have some separate gamerules that you can enable instead of a full gamemode.

    New Feature to "Learner Mode":

    Spyglasses can be found in every natural generating chest and they give you a short summary of the block\item\mob you look at. It will help the players to get familiar with the game's features.
