🔧 How to Grant Permissions to Players on Your Minecraft Server

Setting up your Minecraft server to play with others involves installing plugins or mods, configuring files, and another important aspect—permissions. These permissions grant players the ability to use commands and perform certain actions. In other words, without permissions, no one can interact with plugins or mods. In some cases, permissions may not be necessary due to the design of a plugin, but most do require them. Regardless of your server’s setup, ensuring all your users can execute commands and perform other activities is crucial for gameplay. Whether you’re hosting a dedicated minigame world or a complex custom modpack, adding permissions is necessary. Fortunately, there’s an all-in-one tool to achieve this goal. Due to the utmost importance of this, we’ve created this PixelHost guide to show you how to grant permissions to players on a Minecraft server.

🛠️ Permissions Managers

Minecraft Permissions Setup

As briefly mentioned earlier, there is a universal plugin for any modded or plugin-based Minecraft server to implement permission nodes. It’s called LuckPerms, a powerful tool that offers many customization options. Whether you want unique ranks, prefixes, or suffixes, there are many possibilities. This plays a significant role in server development, as it not only allows users to execute commands or actions but also distinguishes each member with their specific rank. When they send messages in chat, everyone will know what role they have on their account. Otherwise, it can simply be used to regulate the abilities players can use in the game. With all this in mind, review the subsections below to start with this process.

LuckPerms Plugin/Mod

Whether you’re using mods or plugins, LuckPerms provides you with many downloadable options. Using the latest versions of Minecraft is most suitable for this process, but it still allows for older options as well. This can even be used on Bungeecord servers, meaning networks can be fully integrated with LuckPerms permissions. Once installed, there’s a built-in editor to easily manage everything. Alternatively, assigning permissions manually to groups or accounts can be done in the configuration file. We’ll showcase some of these features to help you start adding them to your Minecraft server.

Creating LuckPerms Groups

While in the secure editor, you can create a new group for players to join. Fill in the fields as needed to achieve this goal, such as Group Name, Display Name, Prefix, and others. Keep in mind that this is completely optional, as there’s a “default” rank for all users. This is mainly for those looking to customize their in-game chat and/or organize permissions. However, it’s still highly recommended that you create ranks for your Minecraft server.

Once you’re satisfied with the groups, you can start adding permissions to them. This process involves searching for specific permission nodes to use, such as the EssentialsX types from its official wiki. It’s recommended to review the main page or the plugin’s website to find this information. This applies to both mods and plugins, with a greater focus on the latter. After gathering a list of these permission nodes, start typing them into the editor and save the changes.

📝 Conclusion

Building a Minecraft server involves many processes, and setting up permissions is a crucial part. Whether you’re playing on Forge or Paper, this remains true to ensure all players can execute commands and actions smoothly. Both mods and plugins may have permissions, so setting them up properly on your Minecraft server is highly recommended. Using LuckPerms makes this entire process much easier, as there’s a built-in editor to manage everything. Additionally, we wish you the best of luck in granting permissions to players in Minecraft.

❓ FAQs about Permissions

Are there other plugins or mods that can be used besides LuckPerms?

Yes! There are many other options available online for use on your Minecraft server. We suggest checking out the Finding Mods or Finding Plugins guides for more information. However, these other permission managers may lack features or functionality compared to LuckPerms.

What are the “Weight” and “Parent” options when creating groups?

The Weight field determines which group has priority over others, while the Parent option allows another role to inherit its permissions. These are useful for saving time, effort, and resolving conflicts with ranks. For more information, visit the LuckPerms Wiki.

How do I find plugin or mod permissions?

Head to the main website or page of your plugin, then search for them. This technique varies but is generally listed for your convenience or found in wikis. Keep in mind that LuckPerms automatically connects to your mods or plugins to find this information, but it may occasionally have issues.

What happens if my permissions don’t work?

Double-check that your permissions are written correctly and entered properly, also ensuring that you’ve installed the corresponding mod or plugin on your Minecraft server. Afterward, save these changes and apply them as needed to see if it works in the game. LuckPerms allows you to do this without having to restart the server!
