mc op

Manage the operators: players granted server commands. Operators may join regardless of the allow list. See the Players guide for how the lists reach the server.

mc op add

mc op add [OPTIONS] <NAME>...

Makes players operators, or changes the settings of players who already are, with a warning. Player names are looked up to make sure the account exists and are recorded with the account’s own casing.

When the instance is running and its remote console is reachable, a new operator with the default settings is applied immediately. A custom level or the player limit bypass cannot be applied live and takes effect at the next restart, which is reported with a warning.

Every player named in one command gets the same settings.

--manifest-path <PATH> — path to mc.kdl. Defaults to ./mc.kdl.
