How to OP yourself

Grant yourself administrative privileges on your server.

---

Using the Console

The safest and most direct way to OP a player is through the server console.

1. Log in to the panel and go to your server.
2. Click on "Console" in the sidebar.
3. Type op YourUsername (replace YourUsername with your actual in-game name).
4. Press Enter. You should see a message: "Made YourUsername a server operator".

Verifying

Join the server and try running a command like /gamemode creative. If it works, you are now an operator!

Warning

Only give OP status to players you fully trust. Operators have full control over the server, including the ability to stop it, ban players, and destroy the world.
