What is RealPermissions?

RealPermissions is a permissions plugin you can run almost entirely from a GUI. Players get a rank, ranks get permissions and can inherit other ranks, and each rank has its own prefix and chat format. On top of that you can give a player permissions of their own, hand out ranks and permissions for a limited time, move players along rank tracks, and let players buy their next rank with /rankup.

Features

• GUI for everything: players, ranks, permissions, rankups and settings
• Permission inheritance between ranks
• Negated permissions (a node starting with -) and wildcards (a node ending in *)
• Per-player permissions, on top of the player's rank
• Timed ranks and timed player permissions (e.g. 30m, 12h, 7d, 1d12h)
• Prefix and chat format per rank
• Prefix in the tab list, and the tab list sorted by rank weight
• Tracks: promote and demote players along an order of ranks, with a permission per track
• Rankup: players pay through Vault to move up a rankup path
• /rp check explains where a player's permission comes from (their own, their rank, an inherited rank, a wildcard, super user, op or another plugin)
• Permissions of other plugins are read from their plugin.yml, so you can pick them from a list instead of typing them
• Native integration with RealScoreboard, RealMines, RealRegions, RealSkywars, RealHoppers and RealLogin through the RealPermissions API
• Vault permission and chat provider, so other plugins see your ranks, permissions and prefixes
• Import from LuckPerms, PermissionsEx and GroupManager
• On 1.21.6+, native dialogs for typed input, settings and confirmations (uses chat on older versions)
• SQLite and MySQL storage for player data
• PlaceholderAPI placeholders
• Fully configurable YAML config, ranks, rankups and language files

Ranks

Ranks live in ranks.yml. Each rank has an icon, a prefix, a chat format, the ranks it inherits from and its own permissions. New players get the Default-Rank.

Default-Rank: Player
Ranks:
  VIP:
    Icon: IRON_INGOT
    Prefix: "&9VIP"
    Chat: "%prefix% %player% &7- &f%message%"
    Inheritance:
      - Player
    Permissions:
      - essentials.afk
      - -essentials.fly

Tracks

A track is an order of ranks, lowest first, set in ranks.yml or with /rp settrack. /rp promote <player> <track> and /rp demote <player> <track> move a player one rank up or down it. Staff with realpermissions.track.<track> can use these on that one track, without being able to hand out any other rank. A player with a timed rank can't be moved until it runs out or is cleared.

Rankup

Rankups live in rankup.yml and need Vault with an economy plugin. A rankup is a path of ranks, each with a cost, and the first one costs 0. A player opens /rankup, picks a path and pays to move to the next rank on it. A rankup can have a Permission, so only some players see it. Rankups can also be added, edited and removed from the GUI.

Rankups:
  VIPRankup:
    Display-Name: "&bVIP &bRankup"
    Icon: FILLED_MAP
    Permission: RealPermissions.Rankup.VIPRankup
    Description:
      - '&fThis is a rankup exclusive for &bVIPs'
    Entries:
      - VIP=0
      - VIP+=100000
      - VIPPro=3000000

Super Users

A super user is a player set from the console with /rp setsuper <player>. Super users get realpermissions.admin and are the only players who can run the commands that change ranks and permissions in game (set a rank, timed ranks, add or remove permissions, delete a rank, manage tracks, import). The console can always run them.

Getting Started

1. From the console, make yourself a super user: /rp setsuper <your name>.
2. Run /rp in game to open the GUI.
3. Open Ranks to add ranks, change their prefix and icon, and add permissions. Permissions from your other plugins can be picked from a list.
4. Give a player a rank with /rp setrank <player> <rank>, or from Players in the GUI.
5. To let players buy ranks, install Vault and an economy plugin, and set up the paths in rankup.yml or in the GUI.
6. Coming from another permissions plugin? Run /rp import <luckperms|pex|groupmanager> to see what would be imported, then add confirm.

Commands

Base commands: /realpermissions, /rp. All need realpermissions.admin unless said otherwise. "Super user" means a player must also be a super user; the console can always run it.

Permissions

Placeholders

Requires PlaceholderAPI.

Requirements

• Java 16+
