Minecraft Realms is a multiple-player game server run by Minecraft, that allows group play with friends, whereby players can create a game world of competition and survival upon subscription.
There are two different Minecraft Realms servers developed for the best gaming experience on the different platforms. The first version runs perfectly on console and Windows 10 while the other version runs perfectly on Mac, Linux and PC. But both versions cannot work well together.
Minecraft Realms server subscribers can invite up to 3000 other players with 2-10 of these players able to play online at the same time, while the Minecraft: Java Edition server subscribers can invite up to 20 people with 2-10 of those 20 gamers playing online at the same time. The number of players that can play at the same time is contingent on the type of subscription you have.
Once you’re subscribed, Minecraft Realms world can be accessed online by your invited friends even when you’re logged off and it works such that only invited game players can access the game world.
There are several functions you need to know how to activate to be able to enjoy the multiplayer server option that the Minecraft Realms afford including how to invite players how to set yourself or someone else as OP.
How to invite players
The good thing about inviting friends to play on Minecraft Realms is that they don’t have to be subscribed to play with you.
To invite friends to your Realm:
- Click on edit next to your Realm world.
- Select members from the drop-down menu that pops up
- Enter the username of the friend you want to invite in the search box shown on your screen and then click enter.
Your friend is automatically added to your invited list whether the invitation is accepted or not, but unaccepted invitations expire within 7days.
You will be able to view the friends already invited from the members’ list and you can also follow these steps to invite and remove friends who are no longer welcome on the game or have remained inactive for too long.
If you prefer not to go through the stress of inviting your friends one at a time you can simply send a link inviting all of them at once.
You’ll find your invitation link/code on the members drop-down options on your game panel.
How to set yourself or someone else as OP
Being OP or operator gives a player access to every permission the Minecraft Realms server offers and allows the player to use different commands in the game such as /gamerule,/gamemode and others.
Being OP essentially means a player is the game administrator. Before you can OP yourself or someone else you must understand the different OP levels Minecraft Realms has.
OP Levels in Minecraft Realms
The OP levels on the Minecraft server dictate how much control an OP can have on the server.
There are 4 OP levels and each level has control over the level before it.
OP Level 1: The first OP level in Minecraft allows operators/game administrator to forgo the default spawn protection the game affords. The OP level one is however the lowest and doesn’t have any game commands attached to it.
OP Level 2: The second OP level in Minecraft allows operators to not only forgo the default spawn protection mode but is also able to give commands like /gamerule, /give, /summon, gamemode, /difficulty and many others. This level also gives operators permission to edit any command block on the game.
OP Level 3: The third OP level in Minecraft allows
game operators/ administrators use these game commands /ban, /kick, /drop, and /op as well as use the commands that level two allows and forgo default spawn protection.
OP Level 4: This fourth OP level is the highest level a game operator can use and allows the operator to use the /stop command as well as all the other permissions the other OP levels allow.
Once you understand the four OP levels you’ll also need to know how to set the levels.
To set the OP levels on Minecraft…
- Go to your game panel
- Click on Config Files situated on the left side of the game panel.
- Click on Server Settings and choose OP Permission Level from the drop-down menu shown.
- From the option shown from the OP permission level choose the preferred level you want for the server operator.
- Press save and then restart the server.
Now that you understand the different OP levels available on Minecraft and can set your preferred level, you should know how to set yourself or someone else as OP.
To set yourself or someone else as OP or in a Minecraft Realms Server…
You’re automatically set as the game OP when you pay for a Minecraft Realms subscription or when you use a third-party host for your game server.
You can also follow these steps to make yourself an OP:
- Login to your game server
- Click on the console button that appears from the game panel options.
- Type OP in the command line that you can see and press enter.
- Change <username> as seen with your game username.
- Tap on the enter key and the OP choice should be saved.
Following these steps allow OP someone else, just replace your username with theirs.
You can also set someone else as OP by typing /op, but you must be an OP on at least a level 3 before you’re able to use this command.
Just like you can set someone else as an OP you can also remove them from being an OP.
To de-op someone…
- Login to your game server
- Click on the console button that appears from the game panel options.
- Type DEOP in the command line that you can see and press enter.
- Tap on the enter key and the OP removal should be saved.
You can also remove someone else as OP by typing /deop, but you must be an OP on at least a level 3 before you’re able to use this command.
