Better Op
Better Op changes how the op command edits operator permission levels on a Fabric server running 1.16.5.
What it does
Better Op adds optional arguments to the default op command, so a server owner can set the operator level and the bypass player limit flag when adding an operator. A separate editop command changes the permission level of an existing operator without opening ops.json by hand. The default operator settings stay the same when the new arguments are omitted.
Key features
Operator level arguments
The op command accepts a level and a bypass flag, so a new operator can be created with the intended permissions in one step.
Editop command
Editop changes the permission level of an existing operator, so the operator list does not have to be edited by hand.
Unchanged defaults
Without the new arguments, the op command works as it does in vanilla, with the same default settings.

What the author says
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.
