How do I enable coordinates, cheats, or command blocks?

"Cheats," coordinates, and command blocks are three separate settings in Minecraft, and each is enabled a slightly different way. Here's how to turn on each one from your Humble panel.

The quick version

• Command blocks are controlled by server.properties.
• "Cheats" on a multiplayer server really means operator (OP) status.
• Coordinates depend on edition — a gamerule on Bedrock, or F3 on Java.

Step-by-step

1. Command blocks: In the Files tab, open server.properties, set enable-command-block=true, save, and restart.
2. Cheats / commands: On a multiplayer server, "cheats" means OP. In the Console, run op yourname to grant yourself full command access.
3. Coordinates (Bedrock/worlds): Set the showcoordinates gamerule — on Bedrock run /gamerule showCoordinates true. On Java, coordinates show with F3, or via /gamerule where applicable.

Tip: The Console is always OP, so you can run op yourname there even before you've set anything else up.

Frequently asked questions

Why don't I have "cheats" like in singleplayer? On a server there's no cheats toggle — command access comes from being an operator. Grant it with op yourname in the Console.

Do I need to restart after enabling command blocks? Yes. Changes to server.properties only apply after a restart.

Coordinates still aren't showing on Java? On Java, press F3 to see the debug/coordinate overlay; there's no separate "show coordinates" toggle like Bedrock has.
