Grant operator status.
What is /op used for?
What /op is for
Grants operator status to a player, giving them permission to run cheats and admin commands on a multiplayer server.
When to use /op
Promote trusted moderators and admins on your server. On a dedicated server the first op is usually granted from the server console, then handed out in-game.
Tips & safety
Op level is set by server.properties (op-permission-level). Only op people you trust — operators can change the world, manage players, and grant op to others. Use /deop to revoke.

Common questions
How do I op myself on a Minecraft server?
From the server console (no slash), type op <yourname>. Once you're an operator you can op others in-game with /op.
What can server operators do?
Operators can run cheats and admin commands — change the world, manage players, and grant op to others. Exact powers depend on the op-permission-level server setting.
Permission level
/op requires Server admin (op level 3). In single-player you need the world's "Allow Cheats" toggle on. On a multiplayer server you need to be opped — see /op.
