How to Teleport Players as a Server Administrator

Direct answer

Use the vanilla /teleport command (alias /tp) to move a player to another player or location; the issuer needs the appropriate command permission.

Step-by-step procedure

1. For a simple test use /tp PlayerName 100 70 100 after checking the destination is safe and in the intended dimension.
2. To send one player to another, use /tp PlayerName TargetPlayer. Verify which name is the target to avoid reversing the operation.
3. For cross-dimension work, confirm the version supports the required execute in syntax rather than assuming raw coordinates imply another world.
4. If teleport is refused, inspect world protections, plugin command overrides and cooldowns in addition to OP status.

Common mistakes and trade-offs

Teleporting to unloaded or unsafe positions can cause falls, suffocation or unexpectedly expensive chunk loading. Avoid blind mass teleports during high MSPT.

How to verify it worked

Teleport a consenting test account to a safe location; check the final coordinates and dimension using the in-game debug view or appropriate commands.

Version and platform differences

EssentialsX and other plugins may register /tp aliases with different permissions or behavior; use command namespaces to distinguish implementations.
