Can't set game mode

[glui2001]

I'm installing this (lastest version) on docker on a UGREEN DH2300. I'm simply trying to set the gamemode via the docker-compose below:

version: "latest"
services:
Minecraft:
image: itzg/minecraft-server
environment:
EULA: "TRUE"
GAMEMODE: creative
DIFFICULTY: peaceful
VERSION: "latest"
DUMP_SERVER_PROPERTIES: "TRUE"
OVERRIDE_SERVER_PROPERTIES: "FALSE"
volumes:
- ./data:/data
network_mode: host
restart: unless-stopped

Setting OVERRIDE_SERVER_PROPERTIES so I can manually update it. However logs shows that game mode is always on survival. I'm confused as to what else to do to make creative mode stick.

@glui2001 , Mojang really should have named the game mode server property as "world default game mode". Once the world data is created you will need to use the gamemode command to switch modes.

That can be done like:

docker exec -it <container_name> rcon-cli defaultgamemode creative
docker exec -it <container_name> rcon-cli gamemode creative <player_name>

Just odd they didn't make this work. I can specify the game difficulty via docker-compose just fine. 🤷🏻‍♂️
