I can't break blocks, with my hand, in survival after being in creative. I could break stone with a pick and wood with a axe, but using my hand just caused my hand to move once and then nothing. It doesn't matter if I am on my games or a friend's server. Thanks for any help with this.
You're actually in Adventure Mode. You want to try "/gamemode 0". "/gamemode 2" will put you into Adventure mode, in which you can only break blocks with the proper tool.
Gamemode 0 is Survival, 1 is Creative, and 2 is Adventure.
