🛠️ 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)!

The view of users on the website might not change until you click off the page and back onto it.

✅ 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
