LuckPerms is a free permissions plugin for Minecraft servers. Administrators create groups and assign permissions using commands, configuration files, or a browser-based editor. The project provides implementations for Bukkit, BungeeCord, Fabric, Forge, Nukkit, Sponge, and Velocity, among other listed platforms. For multi-server networks, permission data can sync across instances that share a supported storage system; options include MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB. The web editor works with all storage types. LuckPerms also provides an API for other plugins and a REST API extension through which programs can read, change, and write its data without direct database access. It can run as a standalone app. The project says it does not report to analytics or monitoring services and does not automatically check for or install updates. It does download required libraries and translation bundles over the internet, and connects to external services for features such as the web editor. The FAQ lists support for Minecraft versions from 1.8.8 through the latest release. Project support is available on Discord, while bug reports are handled on GitHub.
