Add Legit Mode with Anti-Cheat Flag to Prove No Cheats Were Used

Many players love to play Minecraft without cheats, grinding for resources, building amazing bases, and achieving everything through skill and effort. However, there is currently no way to prove that a world was played legitimately.

This causes a big problem in the community:

  • Honest players often get accused of cheating or using copy-paste builds.

  • When sharing worlds, screenshots, or videos, other players immediately assume cheats were used, because so many people do.

  • This makes playing survival less rewarding, as there is no recognition for truly “legit” effort.

Suggested Feature: Legit Mode

  • When creating a new world, players can choose Legit Mode.

  • In this mode, cheats/commands cannot be enabled later.

  • If cheats are ever turned on (even once), the world gets permanently flagged as “Cheats Enabled” and loses Legit status.

  • Achievements/advancements only unlock in Legit worlds.

  • A small visible tag or badge shows the world’s status:

    • ✅ Legit World (No Cheats Ever)

    • ⚠️ Cheats Enabled

Benefits:

  • Honest players can prove their skill and dedication.

  • Removes toxic arguments where others accuse legit players of cheating.

  • Creates motivation for survival players to keep grinding, knowing their work is recognized as authentic.

  • Helps protect the survival experience as something truly rewarding.

Many other games (like Terraria) disable achievements if cheats are enabled, so this system is proven to work. Adding this to Minecraft would bring back pride and trust in the survival community.

    This system is in place for Bedrock, as when cheats get enabled once, achievements get disabled. However, there is one problem here...

    • Any player can use NBT Studio to disable cheatsEnabled, hasBeenLoadedInCreative and commandsEnabled world flags, thus allowing people to earn achievements on saves which once had cheats before.
