How to Turn On Cheats on a Minecraft Bedrock Server

Let operators use commands like /gamemode and /give on your Bedrock server.

Updated 1 min read

On Bedrock, commands like /gamemode, /give and /tp only work in game when cheats are on.

From the Players page

  1. Open your server and click Players in the sidebar.
  2. If it says Cheats are disabled, click Enable cheats.
  3. Restart the server from Console.

In server.properties

  1. Open your server and go to Files.
  2. Click server.properties to open it in the Minecraft Server Properties editor.
  3. Use Search for property name... to find the setting.
  4. Turn on allow-cheats.
  5. Save and restart.

Make yourself an operator

Cheats only matter for operators. On Players, enter your exact Bedrock gamertag under Grant operator, or run in Console:

op "YourGamertag"

Note

Turning cheats on in a world means it no longer earns achievements, the same as in singleplayer. Commands run in Console always work, with or without cheats.
