Server Commands

Learn how to use the console and run commands on your Minecraft server.

Using the Console

The Console is where you run server commands. You can access it from your server dashboard:

Go to panel.modready.gg
Click on your server
You'll see the Console on the main page
Type commands in the input field at the bottom and press Enter

Console vs In-Game

When running commands from the console, you don't need to type the / at the beginning. For example:

Console: op PlayerName
In-game: /op PlayerName

How to Make Yourself OP (Operator)

OP (Operator) gives you admin permissions on the server. This is usually the first thing you need to do!

Important

You cannot OP yourself from in-game unless you're already OP. You must use the console to give yourself OP for the first time.

Step by Step:

Make sure your server is running
Go to the Console in your panel
Type: op YourUsername (replace with your exact Minecraft username)
Press Enter
You should see: Made YourUsername a server operator

                op Steve
                
                Output: Made Steve a server operator

Username is Case-Sensitive!

Make sure you type your username exactly as it appears in Minecraft. Steve and steve are different!

Remove OP

To remove operator status from a player:

deop PlayerName
