Op a Player on a Minecraft Bedrock Server

📘

This article is for Minecraft: Bedrock Edition

For Minecraft: Java Edition servers, follow the instructions in this guide.

Giving a player op privilege is giving them access to run admin commands or "cheats" commands directly in game. As op’ed players have great power, it’s critical that you only op players who you absolutely trust as your server admin. They'll be able to change game modes to creative for themselves and others as well as run in game commands.

Op’ing a player is different than giving someone in Command Center Administrator Permission, which allows them to access our website to control your server.

Enable Cheats on the Server

Before a player can become Op, cheats will need to be enabled on the server.

1. Login to Commmand Center.
2. From the Servers list, find the server you want to modify, and click the Manage button on the right.
3. Click on the Files tab.
4. Click on the server.properties file.
5. Find the line that contains allow-cheats=false change it to allow-cheats=true
6. Save your server.properties and restart your server.

Op a Player

Once cheats have been enabled, commands can be used and players can become server operators. This can be quickly done using the op command. Players will need to be online in order to make a player an operator.

1. Log into your server.
2. Back in Command Center, click on the Console tab.
3. Type: op <playername> in the console and press Enter.

If done correctly, the player should now have access to cheats and commands.
