Operator

An OP, or operator, is a player designated to moderate the server by the admin, in order to remove griefers and maintain a pleasant game experience for all players. They are made OPs via a command used by the admin or another OP, and keep their privileges until they are removed with an opposite 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 ... removes the player with the typed name from the server temporarily.
 * /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.
 * /say ... broadcasts a message to the entire server. Different from normal chat in that it lacks a username, and is a bright yellow color.
 * /setspawn ... sets the default spawn point for players just entering the server.
 * /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 indestructible stone blocks, similar to the boundary blocks. This single command toggles the effect on and off.
