How to OP a Player on a Minecraft Bedrock Server

Here's a quick guide on how to give players Operator (OP) status on a Minecraft Bedrock server hosted with SimpleGameHosting. Granting OP status allows players to use commands and cheats on the server.

Accessing your SimpleGameHosting Control Panel

 First, you’ll need to login to the server’s control panel.

• If you have multiple servers, locate and open the one you want to manage.
• If you only have one server, you'll be taken directly to the Console tab when you log in to the control panel.

Enabling Cheats

Once you're logged into the Control Panel, you can enable cheats on your server by following these steps:

1. In the control panel, click on the Settings tab located at the top right.

2. Locate the Allow Cheats option and toggle it on (blue means it's enabled).

3. Return to the Console tab and click either the Restart or Start button to apply the changes and ensure cheats are enabled.

Giving a User Operator (OP) Permissions

1. Make sure that either you or the player you're trying to give Operator (OP) status to is currently connected to the server. The command will not work if the player is offline.

2. In the Console's text box, type the following command and press Enter: op "USERNAME"

• Be sure to include the quotation marks, and replace USERNAME with the player’s actual in-game name or gamertag.
  • For example, if you’re giving Operator (OP) status to a player named YooooBrian, you would type: op "YooooBrian". Then press Enter to run the command.

3. If the command is successful, you’ll see a confirmation message in the console indicating that the player has been given Operator (OP) status. The player should now have Operator (OP) permissions and be able to use commands and cheats on your SimpleGameHosting Minecraft Bedrock server.

If you're having trouble, check the following:

• Make sure the player's username or gamertag is typed correctly.
• Confirm that the command includes quotation marks around the username.
• Ensure the player is currently online and connected to the server.
• Use lowercase op when entering the command.
