LuckPerms Guide

Managing permissions, ranks, and prefixes using the most powerful permissions plugin.


Installation

  1. Download LuckPerms from luckperms.net.
  2. Upload to your /plugins/ folder.
  3. Restart server.

Using the Web Editor

LuckPerms has a powerful web interface. Run this command in-game or console:

/lp editor

Click the link generated to open the editor in your browser.

Creating Groups

  1. In the editor, click the + next to "Groups".
  2. Name it (e.g., admin).
  3. Select the group on the left.
  4. In the "Add permissions" search bar, type permissions like minecraft.command.gamemode or essentials.fly.
  5. Click "Add" (or press Enter).

Adding Prefixes

To give a rank a prefix (e.g., [Admin]):

  1. In the editor, for the group admin.
  2. Add the permission: prefix.100.&c[Admin] &f
  3. The 100 is the "weight" (higher weight = priority).
  4. The &c is the color code (Red).

Note: You need a chat formatting plugin like EssentialsChat or LPC for prefixes to show in chat.

Applying Changes

When finished in the web editor, click Save in the top right. It will give you a command like:

/lp apply ed-xxxxx

Run this command in your server console to apply the changes instantly.
