## Why Enable Cheats on a Minecraft Bedrock Server?

By default, cheats are turned off in most Minecraft Bedrock Edition worlds. This is to keep the game fair and achievements active. But if you’re running a server and want more control, like switching gamemodes or giving OP permissions, you’ll need to allow cheats manually.

Just remember: **Cheats disable achievements.** So if you're working toward achievements, it's best to make that decision before enabling cheats.

## Enabling Cheats on a Minecraft Bedrock Server

Enabling cheats on a Bedrock server is pretty easy; here's how to enable cheats in minecraft bedrock server. Just follow these steps:

### 1. Stop Your Server

Before making changes, make sure to **stop the server**. This helps avoid file issues and ensures your changes are saved properly.

### 2. Open the Startup Tab in our Panel

Go to our **server panel** and find the **Startup** tab.

### 3. Find the “Allow Cheats” Setting

Look for the option labeled **Allow cheats** in the list of settings. The default value is usually set to **false**.

### 5. Restart the Server

Once you’ve made that change, hit restart. This restarts your server with cheats that are now **enabled**.

## Make Sure You're OP!

Even if cheats are enabled, you won’t be able to use all commands unless you have **OP or Admin permissions**. You can op a username using your control panel console by typing **op <username>**

## What Can You Do with Cheats Enabled?

Once cheats are turned on, you can run wide range of commands via the chat or the console. Here's a quick list of what you can do:

* Use **/gamemode creative** to fly and get inventory items
    
* Use **/give** to give items in a player's inventory
    
* Change gamerules like keepInventory or mobGriefing
    
* Teleport players or set spawn points
    
* Adjust the world time or weather

## Example Use

Let’s say you’re in Survival mode and want to test a Redstone machine quickly. With cheats enabled and OP status, just run: **/gamemode creative**
