Understanding Operator Roles in Minecraft
In the vast world of Minecraft, an Operator, commonly known as an OP, is a player granted special permissions to execute administrative commands. Think of them as the moderators or admins of your server. Depending on the assigned level, OPs can perform tasks ranging from changing game modes to banning disruptive players.
Assigning OP Status via Apex Hosting Panel
Granting OP status is straightforward with Apex Hosting. Here’s how you can do it:
- Access the Apex Server Panel: Log in to your Apex Hosting account and navigate to your server’s control panel.
- Start Your Server: Ensure your server is running. If it’s not, initiate the startup process.
- Open the Console: On the left-hand side, click on the “Console” option.
- Enter the OP Command: In the console, type
op [username], replacing[username]with the player’s in-game name. Press Enter. - Confirmation: You should see a message confirming that the player has been made a server operator.
Note: To revoke OP status, use the command deop [username]. citeturn0search2
