LuckPerms is the most popular permissions plugin. It lets you make ranks, like builder or moderator, and choose exactly what each rank can do.

Before you start

Install LuckPerms from the Plugins page, like any other plugin. See Install plugins. Then open Console.

Make a rank

Type lp creategroup builder to make a rank called builder.

Give the rank a permission

Type lp group builder permission set, then the permission, then true. This one lets builders change their gamemode:

lp group builder permission set minecraft.command.gamemode true

Give a player the rank

Type lp user, their name, then parent add builder. For example:

lp user Notch parent add builder

Prefer clicking to typing?

Type lp editor, and open the link it gives you to edit your ranks on a web page.

The commands

  • lp creategroup builder: make a rank
  • lp group builder permission set <permission> true: give the rank a permission
  • lp user Name parent add builder: give a player the rank
  • lp editor: edit everything on a web page

You'll find each plugin's permissions on its download page.
