How to OP Offline Players

If a player is offline or unable to join the server, you can still grant them operator access by manually editing the operator file in your server's files.

Java

  1. Go to the Files tab in your panel.
  2. Open ops.json.
  3. Add the following entry:
   [
     {
       "uuid": "uuid-here",
       "name": "PlayerName",
       "level": 4,
       "bypassesPlayerLimit": false
     }
   ]
  1. Replace uuid-here with the player's UUID and PlayerName with their username.
  2. Save the file and restart your server.
