How to become an admin on Minecraft Java Edition
To become an admin you need your UUID.
We describe here how you can get your UUID: How do I get my UUID
Fastest option on our current Minecraft servers: If your server’s left-hand menu has an RCON console, start the server and enter op YourPlayerName there (without a leading slash). Minecraft looks up the player for you, so you do not need a UUID for this.
Basic Mode
In ‘‘Basic Mode’’ you enter your name and your UUID under Admin Settings.
Initially, it looks like this:
[
{
"uuid": "33333333-3333-3333-3333-333333333333",
"name": "Admin3",
"level": 4,
"bypassesPlayerLimit": false
},
{
"uuid": "22222222-2222-2222-2222-222222222222",
"name": "Admin2",
"level": 4,
"bypassesPlayerLimit": false
},
{
"uuid": "11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111",
"name": "Admin1",
"level": 4,
"bypassesPlayerLimit": false
},
{
"uuid": "55555555-5555-5555-5555-555555555555",
"name": "Admin5",
"level": 4,
"bypassesPlayerLimit": false
},
{
"uuid": "44444444-4444-4444-4444-444444444444",
"name": "Admin4",
"level": 4,
"bypassesPlayerLimit": false
}
]
Enter your name and your UUID accordingly between the "", e.g. like this:
[
{
"uuid": "6cdae416-9ce2-4df9-8688-d1eb3c185ef4",
"name": "MyIngameName",
"level": 4,
"bypassesPlayerLimit": false
}
]
Advanced Mode
In Advanced Mode you enter your name and your UUID in the Ops.json.
Same as in Basic Mode, admins are entered according to this template:
[
{
"uuid": "6cdae416-9ce2-4df9-8688-d1eb3c185ef4",
"name": "MyIngameName1",
"level": 4,
"bypassesPlayerLimit": false
},
{
"uuid": "6cdae416-9ce2-4df9-8688-d1eb3c185ef4",
"name": "MyIngameName2",
"level": 4,
"bypassesPlayerLimit": false
}
]
Stop your server before changing the admin list. Add your entries, click Save, and then start the server again. If the server is running when you save, it will overwrite the list with its previous state the next time it stops.
You can then use all these commands.
Important: If you remove all admins, please make sure that the [] are still present.
Otherwise your server can no longer start!
