What are Minecraft server Operator Levels?

Operators (OPs) are players on a Minecraft server that are given permission to run commands and bypass restrictions on the server. This article will explain what each of the 4 operator levels allow and why you would want to give trusted players OP level permissions.

OP Level 1

Operators with this permission level cannot run any commands except for those that everyone can run. The only thing this level lets the player do is bypass the spawn protection, which protects the region around the world's spawn point, this prevents players from placing and breaking all blocks and using buttons and levers in the area.

OP Level 2

Operators with permission level 2 are able to run all singleplayer cheat commands except /publish as it does not exist on servers. This is also the minimum permission level needed for players to be able to edit command blocks inside of the world. This is the permission level that owners and operators on Realms have.

OP Level 3

Operators who have permission level 3 or greater can use almost all multiplayer only commands, which includes /ban, /kick, /debug, and /op. This permission level should only be given to those players who you absolutely trust because they can do everything on the server except running the commands that allow stopping and altering server autosave functions.

OP Level 4

Operators with permission level 4 can run all Minecraft commands that are within servers. Including stopping and restarting the server.
