How do I OP a player on a Minecraft server?
🛡️ How to Make Yourself OP (Admin) on Your Minecraft Server
🛠️ How to OP Yourself:
✅ Option 1 — Using the Players Page (Recommended)
- Log into the Control Panel.
- Click 'Manage' next to your server.
- Navigate to the 'Players' tab.
(You’ll see a list of players currently on your server.)
- Find your username, click the three dots next to it, and select "OP" from the dropdown menu.
✅ You are now an operator (admin)!
✅ Option 2 — Using the Console (Manual Command)
- Click the 'Console' tab from your server view.
- Enter the following command, replacing
playername
with your Minecraft username:
op playername
- Press Enter to send the command.
✅ You will see a confirmation message if it worked.
🌎 Important Notes
- You must be online on the server for either method to work.
- OP permissions give full admin access, including all commands and server control.
- To remove OP from a player later, you can use:
deop playername
