How to op yourself in Minecraft on someone elses server Bedrock

  • 39

Minecraft OP(Operator) status gives a player full access to all commands and permissions on a Minecraft: Pocket Edition server. By default, there are no Minecraft: Pocket Edition server operators on your server. 


To "OP" yourself or others on a Minecraft: Pocket Edition Server:

1. Login to your server's control panel and select your Minecraft server.

2. On the left-hand side of your control panel click "Console".

3. In your console, type op <"username">. For Pocket Edition, authentication may require that you use your Xbox username which can have spaces within it. If that is the case, you can use quotation marks around your username to give yourself Op. For example, op "Iam Steve"

For the console that will already add an invisible / before the command.

4. Press the "Send" button located to the right of your console or press the "Enter" key on your keyboard to enter in that command.

You will receive a response similar to "[Server] INFO CONSOLE: Opped MCProHosting"

You have now successfully "opped" that username.

We have a video tutorial for giving OP to a player:

Before Reading... Players that you OP will also be able to OP and De-OP other players. Only give OP to people you completely trust.

An Operator (OP) is someone who has access to commands that are used in managing the server.

Among the commands that an operator has access to are changing a player's game mode, updating server difficulty, giving items, kicking and banning players, whitelisting, and even stopping and restarting a server. You can view a list of operator commands here: https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Commands#List_of_commands

There are three ways to set a player as OP:

  • Through the server console
  • In-game command
  • Editing the ops.json file

The first two options are preferred as they're simpler and won't cause issues if executed incorrectly.


Giving OP through the Server Console

If you're using Bedrock Edition: You will need to also enable cheats on your server for this process to work properly.

Making a player an operator through your server's control panel is simple, requiring only a single command. This is the fastest method of opping players if your server doesn't have any operators yet. 

  1. Log in to your control panel and navigate to your server's Console.
  2. On the textbox of your console, type op <username>. Replace <username> with the Minecraft username you want to OP.

  3. Press enter on your keyboard or click the Send button. You will receive a confirmation message on your console indicating that the player has been made as an operator.

    If the username of the player you're trying to OP has a space in their name, you will have to surround their username with quotes, like so: op "Minecraft Fan123"

Giving OP In-Game

Opping a player in-game is more convenient, but requires you to already be opped. If you are not a server operator, you will need to op yourself through the console first.

  1. Type in the command /op <username> in-game, replacing <username> with the Minecraft player you intend to op.
