# How to enable cheats on a Bedrock server

Cheats on Bedrock are controlled via the `allow-cheats` property. When enabled, certain admin and world commands can be used.

## Steps

1. Open `https://panel.nexuscloud.id/`.
2. Select your Bedrock server.
3. Open the **Startup** menu, scroll down, find **Allow Cheats**, and enable it.
4. Once enabled, restart the server from the **Console** menu.

    Restarting applies the changes to your Bedrock server. For example, the `[/]` symbol that was missing after being granted OP will appear.

## Example in the config file

```properties
allow-cheats=true
```

## Commonly used commands

- `/op <username>` to grant operator status.
- `/gamemode <mode>` to change the game mode.
- `/gamerule <rule> <value>` to change a world rule.

## Notes

- On a Bedrock dedicated server, `allow-cheats` allows cheat commands to be used.
- Operator status is still useful for access to certain commands.
