Becoming an operator on a Minecraft server gives you full control over the game world, allowing you to manage players, modify settings, and much more. To become an operator, you can enter a simple command in the game chat or in the server console. The third method involves editing the ops.json file, which can be found in the server files. In this guide, we will detail how to use these three methods to become an operator in the world of Minecraft.
