Add Operators (OPs) to Your Minecraft Server

Operators have elevated permissions on your Minecraft server, such as running commands and managing other players. There are two ways to add an OP: through the Multicraft console (instant, no restart) or by editing the operators.json file directly.

Before granting OP access, make sure you can join your server.

Method 1: Multicraft console (recommended)

1. Log in to the Minecraft panel.
2. Open your server and click Console in the left-hand menu.
3. In the command input box at the bottom, type:

   op YourMinecraftUsername
   

4. Press Enter. The player is immediately granted OP status with no server restart required.

Method 2: Edit operators.json via FTP

1. Log in to the Minecraft panel and connect via FTP.
2. In the Minecraft panel, click Files > Config Files and open operators.json.
3. Edit the file to add each operator. The format is:

   [
     {
       "uuid": "your-uuid-here",
       "name": "minecraftusername1",
       "level": 4
     },
     {
       "uuid": "another-uuid-here",
       "name": "minecraftusername2",
       "level": 4
     }
   ]
   

4. Save the file and restart the server.

Permission levels

Note: To find a player's UUID, use the Mojang API: https://api.mojang.com/users/profiles/minecraft/USERNAME (replace USERNAME with the player's Minecraft name).
