How to give Operator permissions (Op) to a player

As Operator you have all permissions on the server.You can use all available plugins, mods, command blocks, and built-in Minecraft commands without restrictions. An operator can cause a lot of destruction to a server, so be careful to only give it to trusted players.

Giving operator

Operator can be given through the console or by another operator

Through the console operator is given with the command `op <nickname>`.

You can access the console by the following instructions:

• Go to the website gaming.tietokettu.net on a browser.
• Log in with your own credintials.
• Select your server and press the text area that says "Type a command".

Whenever running a command through the console, a `/` sign isn't used.

If you already have operator permissions, you can give operator to another player by writing the command `/op <nickname>` in the chat. When using commands in-game, the `/` sign is used.

The server will announce that operator has been given to the player. If you don't get this notification, something has gone wrong.

Removing Operator access

You can remove operator access from a player in-game using the command `/deop <nickname>`. You need operator permissions to do this.

• "/ban <targets> [<reason>]" -> Bans a player. (Example: "/ban SpotifyCat", "/ban @r Small prank")

• "/ban-ip <ip-address : player>" -> Bans an IP address. Players from the banned IP address can no longer join the server. (Example: "/ban-ip 127.0.0.1")

• "/banlist [<page number>]" -> Shows all banned players. (Example: "/banlist", "/banlist 2")

  • "/worldborder warning time <time>" -> Sets the warning time before reaching the border. (Example: "/worldborder warning time 20")

Target selectors
Here is a cheatsheet for target selectors:

• "@p" -> Selects the nearest player.

• "@n" -> Selects the nearest living entity.

• "@r" -> Selects a random living player.

• "@a" -> Selects all players.

• "@e" -> Selects all living entities and players.

• "@s" -> Selects the entity executing the command (self).
