  • Your server must be online.
  • The player needs to be on the server.

Make someone an operator

  1. Open Console in the menu on the left.
  2. Type op, a space, then their Minecraft name, and press Enter. For example: op Notch

You'll see a message saying they're now a server operator. They can now use commands like /gamemode and /tp in game.
