We have a video tutorial on how to use game rules in Minecraft:
Game rules allow you to alter or modify the gameplay of your Minecraft server without using any mods or plugins. Game rules are an extended set of configuration options available by default and can be used both in single player and multiplayer/servers.
Some examples of functions you can change with game rules include freezing the weather or time cycles, mobs dropping items when they die, players keeping the items in their inventory when they die, preventing creepers and endermen from griefing, and more.
Using the command /gamerule will display a list of game rules you can modify.
Check out some of the useful game rules listed below, what they do, and the commands to enable or disable these:
