Traveling between dimensions are broken. When I set myself as creative using /gamemode, and I enter the portal, my gamemode becomes survival (The server's default gamemode is survival). This works both ways, nether to overworld and overworld to nether.
When I am in survival and I travel to the nether, all my items disappear, but my levels retain. Again, also works both ways.
This is a major problem me and my friends have been facing, because we are planning to use the nether as a method of far travel. Are there any fixes for this? Have I missed an option I needed?
