# 🌎 Important Notes

* You must have **operator (OP)** permissions to change gamemodes for other players. [How do I OP a player on a Minecraft server?](https://help.empowerservers.com/en/article/how-do-i-op-a-player-on-a-minecraft-server-ygf3is/) 
    
* Non-OP players can **only** change their own gamemode (and only if allowed by server settings).
    
* Always double-check spelling — Minecraft commands are **case-sensitive** for player names!
