How to give a player OP on a Minecraft server

OP (operator) gives a player full access to server commands. Only grant OP access to players you trust, since they can run important commands like changing gamemode, teleporting, giving items, and modifying world configuration.

Commands in the console

When running a command from the panel console, use op playername without a leading /.

Java server

  1. Open https://panel.nexuscloud.id/.
  2. Select your Java server.
  3. Open the Console menu. The server page usually opens on the Console menu by default.
  4. Make sure the player you want to OP has joined the server at least once. They do not need to be online when you grant OP.
  5. In the console, find the Execute Command field.
  6. Type the following command, then replace playername with the player's Minecraft username:
    op playername
    
    Example:
    op nexusid1
    
  7. Press Enter or click the command send button.
  8. Ask the player to try a command that requires OP, such as /gamemode creative. If no permission error appears, the OP was granted successfully.

Bedrock server

Allow Cheats must be on

For Bedrock servers, Allow Cheats must be enabled before commands can be used by players once they are granted OP. If it is not enabled, follow the guide How to enable cheats on a Bedrock server.

  1. Open https://panel.nexuscloud.id/.
  2. Select your Bedrock server.
  3. Open the Console menu. The server page usually opens on the Console menu by default.
  4. Make sure the player you want to OP is currently online on the server. On Bedrock, the player must be online to be detected when the command is run from the console.
  5. In the console, find the Execute Command field.
  6. Type the following command, then replace playername with the player's Minecraft username:
    op playername
    
    Example:
    op nexusid2
    
  7. Press Enter or click the command send button.
  8. Ask the player to open the chat or command interface in Minecraft Bedrock. If the / icon appears and commands can be used, the OP was granted successfully.

How to remove OP

If you want to revoke a player's OP access, run the following command from the console:

deop playername

Replace playername with the username of the player whose OP access you want to revoke.
