Adding an OP/Admin to Minecraft server using ops.json and op username

Adding OP(admin) to Minecraft server

In this guide, we will learn how to set a player as OP (admin) (add an admin to a minecraft server)

This can be done in two ways

Method 1 Add a Minecraft server Admin to your ops.json file

Step 1 First you’ll need to login to the dedicated minecraft panel​

Step 2 Select the file manager menu and create a file called ops.json

You can also edit the ops file directly if needed. Note that there are two different ops files. The latest ops file (since 1.7.9) is named ops.json while the older style of ops file is named ops.txt. We’ll show both formats here.

ops.json

    "level": 4
  },
  {
    "uuid": "UUID-goes-here",
    "name": "Xgamingserver02",
    "level": 4

]
