Operator (OP) status gives a player full administrative access to a Minecraft server, including the ability to run commands, change game settings, and manage other players. You can grant OP status through the Game Panel in a couple of ways - via the console directly or using the Player Manager tab. This guide covers both methods so you can use whichever suits your workflow.
⚠️
WARNING: OP players have unrestricted access to all server commands. Only grant OP status to players you fully trust.
Method 1: Using the Console
- Head over to the Game Panel and make sure your server is running.
- Navigate to Console.
- Type
/op YourUsernameinto the console and press Enter.
