Better Op
Adds arguments to /op and allows for editing op levels/settings with /editop
About this Mod
Better Op
A simple server mod to improve the /op command. Minecraft's default command is limited, in only allowing the user to
add or remove operators, and always with the same default settings. With Better Op, you can use optional arguments
when adding an operator to set the operator level and whether they can bypass the player limit. Better Op also
introduces the /editop command so that you can edit the permission levels of any existing operator (at or below your
-permission level) without ever having to deal with opening ops.json
Commands
There is one new command /editop, and arguments added to /op
editop <targets> [<level>] [<bypassPlayerLimit>]op <targets> [<level>] [<bypassPlayerLimit>]
The default values are level: 4 and bypassPlayerLimit: false

Server lagging with Better Op – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Better Op consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
