Enabling command blocks on a Minecraft server

In Minecraft version 1.4.2 (Snapshot 12w32a), Command blocks were added to the game. These blocks can execute commands on the game servers, and quickly became a community favorite with custom adventure maps, gamemodes, and many other great use cases. Many adventure maps nowadays require command blocks to be enabled so they can function correctly.
