Op Permission
by juliankh6142
Op Permission lets a player who has beaten the Ender Dragon receive operator-level command access on a survival world.
What it does
Op Permission is a server-side mod for survival worlds. Once a player beats the Ender Dragon and earns the Free End advancement, the permission level is raised to 0 to 2, which makes commands available to the player. Commands that manage the server stay restricted, so the mod grants cheats for building without giving full server control.
Players who want to finish the game first and use cheats afterward can rely on the mod to keep survival progression intact until the Ender Dragon is defeated. A command also lets a player drop their operator status again, which suits a player who changes their mind. The mod gives no items at all; it only changes permission levels.
Installation is needed only on the server, and players join without installing anything. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 13 release versions, 1.18.2 – 1.21.11, under All rights reserved, and it is not open source. Older builds require crafting the Op Permission item from its recipe before the permission is granted.

How it compares
Better craftable enchanted golden apple covers the same recipe area on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge 1.18.2 – 1.21.10 under the MIT License, with client and server both needing it. SudoOp is server-side only for NeoForge 1.21.1, under the MIT License and open source, so it is a different approach to operator access. Op Permission stays server-side only, not open source, and its builds cover 1.18.2 – 1.21.11.
