👑How to Add Yourself as Admin / OP

Introduction

Operator (OP) status gives you every command, gamemode, teleport, weather, world edits. There are two ways to OP yourself.

Method 1, From the Console (Fastest)

1. 1Open the Game Panel → your server → Console tab
2. 2Type into the console input:

   op YourMinecraftUsername

1. 1Press Enter
2. 2The log prints: Made YourMinecraftUsername a server operator

You're now OP. Try /gamemode creative in-game to test.

Method 2, Edit ops.json

1. 1Open File Manager in the panel
2. 2Open ops.json in the server root
3. 3Add this entry:

   [
     {
       "uuid": "your-uuid-here",
       "name": "YourUsername",
       "level": 4,
       "bypassesPlayerLimit": true
     }
   ]

1. 1Save → restart the server

Find your UUID at mcuuid.net.

OP Levels Explained

• Level 1, bypass spawn protection
• Level 2, basic commands (/tp, /gamemode)
• Level 3, kick, ban, op other players
• Level 4, full admin (stop, save, op anyone)

Tip: Only OP people you trust 100%. An OP can grief, ban, or even crash your server.

Warning: Never share screenshots of your ops.json publicly, UUIDs are fine, but it tells attackers who to target.
