Operator

An Op, or operator, is a player designated to moderate a multiplayer server by the admin. This is done to help keep control of the server from unruly players and griefers, and even a reward to trusted players. People are made op by using the /op command. Ops have access to a variety of commands which aid them in their policing duty. These are activated by typing them into the chat with appropriate arguments.

Commands

 * /op - makes the player with the typed name an Op.
 * /deop - removes op status from the player with the typed name.
 * /kick - forces the player with the typed name to disconnect from the server.
 * /ban - bans the player with the typed name from the server. They remain banned until the /unban command is used.
 * /banip - bans the player with the typed name via IP address. This allows admins to prevent people who use alternate accounts to circumvent bans, but should be used in moderation, as it prevents any other person using the IP from playing in the server as well; this can be frustrating for people playing from school or library computer labs. Banip does not block the account itself.
 * /unban - removes the ban on the player with the typed name, allowing them to reenter the server.
 * /broadcast - broadcasts a message to the entire server. Text seen shows no username and is a yellow color.
 * /say - functions as /broadcast, but in a shorter and easier to type command.
 * /setspawn - sets the default spawn point for players entering the server after the command is set.
 * /teleport - teleports the admin to the location of the player with the typed name.
 * /tp - also functions as teleport, but with a shorter, more useful command.
 * /solid - allows the admin to place Bedrock in place of normal Stone. If entered again, the op will place stone again.
