Using Minecraft server controls, you can adapt the game for participants and monitor compliance with the rules. In this article, we tell you about the most important Minecraft server commands.
If you create a Minecraft server, then you can easily play with your friends as well as a community of players from all over the world. To get the most out of this sandbox game, it is important to know how to manage your Minecraft server. Minecraft server commands are very useful for the smooth running of the game.
Commands are used to administer and optimize the game environment. They concern on the one hand the server and its administration, on the other hand the players and the game itself. Some commands can be performed by all players, while Minecraft-op commands are reserved for Operators only. The operators are generally the owners of the server or of the chosen players, who will ensure that the rules are respected in the game. It is then essential to give the rights to trusted people. These rights are defined by the operators in the file server.properties.
