How to Use Cheats on a BisectHosting Minecraft Server

BisectHosting’s Java and Bedrock servers handle cheats differently. Follow the right panel steps for your edition, and note that Bedrock cheats disable achievements.

Cheats work differently on a BisectHosting Minecraft server depending on whether it runs Java Edition or Bedrock Edition. On Java, use the Starbase panel to grant a player operator (OP) status. On Bedrock, enable Allow Cheats in Server Properties, then grant OP separately if a command requires it.

First, identify your Minecraft edition

Use the Java or Bedrock instructions below; the controls are not interchangeable. The server-properties guides cited here document defaults for Minecraft 1.21.9. If your server runs another version, check the labels and settings shown in your panel.

Edition How cheats or commands are enabled Restart in documented steps? Player identity for OP Important side effect
Java Grant OP in the panel Console; adjust OP Permission Level in Server Properties if needed. Yes, to change the OP permission level. Player name None stated in the cited Java instructions.
Bedrock Set Allow Cheats to True; some commands may also require OP. Yes, stop and restart after changing the setting. Xbox Live Gamertag; the player must be online for the documented OP procedure. Enabling cheats disables achievements on the server.

Java Edition: grant a player OP

BisectHosting’s Java instructions use operator permissions rather than a separate Allow Cheats switch. OP gives a player access to commands according to the server’s operator permission level.

  1. Log in to the BisectHosting Starbase panel.
  2. Open the Console tab.
  3. Enter op PlayerName, replacing PlayerName with the player’s in-game name. To remove OP later, enter deop PlayerName.

Change the Java OP permission level

If the player has OP but cannot use a command, check the permission level. Stop the server, open Settings > Server Properties, choose the desired OP Permission Level, then start the server again. BisectHosting’s Java server-properties guide lists op-permission-level=4 as the default for Minecraft 1.21.9; this is a version-specific documented default, not a guarantee for every server.

Fortnite eGift Card
  • Redeemable on accounts in the United States and in U.S. Dollars.
  • Gift card must be redeemed at EpicGames.com/redeem. This gift card WILL NOT work if redeemed directly on a console device (PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, etc.)
  • If you play Fortnite experiences on a console device, you need to link your Epic Games account to your console account(s) so items purchased at Fortnite.com/item-shop appear across all of your linked accounts

The provider describes a “Can cheat” permission level that allows commands such as /clear, /difficulty, /effect, /gamemode, /gamerule, /give, /summon, /setblock and /tp. See BisectHosting’s Java OP instructions and its Java server-properties guide.

Bedrock Edition: enable Allow Cheats

  1. Log in to the Starbase panel and stop the server.
  2. Open Settings > Server Properties.
  3. Set Allow Cheats to True.
  4. Start the server again.

Enabling cheats disables achievements on a Bedrock server, according to BisectHosting Support’s Bedrock cheats guide, updated September 1, 2026. Its Bedrock server-properties guide lists allow-cheats=false as the default for Minecraft 1.21.9; settings may differ on other versions. See the Bedrock server-properties guide.

Grant Bedrock OP if a command needs it

Turning on Allow Cheats and giving a player command permission are distinct steps. If the player cannot run a particular command, check whether it requires OP. BisectHosting’s documented procedure requires the player to be online and uses their Xbox Live Gamertag. In the panel Console, enter op "XboxLiveGamertag"; to revoke OP, use deop "XboxLiveGamertag". See BisectHosting’s Bedrock OP guide.

Try a command

Depending on edition, version and permissions, commands can be entered in-game or through the panel. Examples from BisectHosting’s Bedrock command guide include:

Fortnite Physical Gift Card
  • An Epic Games account is required to redeem an Epic Games Store Card code
  • If playing on a console platform (PlayStation Network, Xbox Live, Nintendo Switch or Mobile) you need to link your Epic Games account to that gaming platform (one time) to redeem your gift card code
  • The 16 digit code on the back of the card WILL NOT work if redeemed directly through your gaming platform (PlayStation Network, Xbox Live, Nintendo Switch, Mobile, etc.)
  • Note: Nintendo devices do not support Fortnite Shared Wallet, so V-Bucks purchased using your account balance will not show up on your Nintendo device. However, if you purchase items in the web Item Shop — or another platform where you play Fortnite — those items will be available in your Locker across all platforms.
  • Redemption: Online
  • /difficulty easy sets the difficulty to easy.
  • /gamemode creative Steve changes Steve’s game mode.

  • /help displays available commands.

These are examples, not a guarantee that every command or argument works on every server. Syntax and permissions can vary by edition, server version, plugins or mods. Use /help or the command documentation for your server’s edition.

Command blocks are optional

Command blocks automate commands in-game when activated by redstone; they are not required for ordinary player commands. An operator is needed to obtain them. BisectHosting documents different command-block workflows for Minecraft versions 1.21.9 and above versus 1.21.8 and below, so follow the instructions matching your server version: BisectHosting’s command-block guide.
