Minecraft servers have a built-in admin/permission system known as 'OP' or 'Operator' that allows users to moderate or fix issues on the server. While these default commands are not all-encompassing, Permissions can be expanded further using plugins or mods. Empowering users with OP permissions can significantly reduce the workload of server owners by delegating moderation to others, allowing them to focus on server health or content for the server.
Note: A full list of default Minecraft commands can be found here.
