How Do I Grant OP Permissions on My Minecraft Server?

Summary

Minecraft servers use an OP (Operator) system that gives players admin-level permissions. OPs can run important commands like changing game modes, adjusting difficulty, or moderating players. While OP powers cover most admin needs, you can expand permissions further with plugins or mods. Granting OP to trusted players can help share the workload so server owners can focus on building and maintaining the community.
