How to Install and Setup LuckPerms

What is LuckPerms, and why should I use it over PermissionsEx / GroupManager?

LuckPerms is an advanced, flexible, modern permissions plugin that allows you to configure exactly how you want your server to work. You should use it over PermissionsEx as PEx is currently unmaintained.

How to Install LuckPerms

1. 1Download the latest version for your platform (Bukkit / Bungee / SpongeForge) from luckperms.net
2. 2Use an FTP Client or the File Manager to upload the LuckPerms jar to your server's plugins directory
3. 3Start your server, wait for it to fully start — LuckPerms is successfully installed

Setting Up a Basic Admin Group

• To create the group through console, type: lp creategroup admin
• To add yourself to the group: lp user <yourname> parent add admin
• To add permissions to the group: lp group admin permission set <permission>

Adding a Prefix

Adding prefixes is slightly more complicated in LuckPerms. First make sure you have a chat manager such as EssentialsXChat, and you'll also need Vault.

Each prefix has to have a weight — this decides which prefix is chosen if a user is in multiple groups. For example, owner at 100, admin at 90, moderator at 80, etc.

Once you've decided: lp group <name> meta addprefix <weight> <prefix>

More information can be found on LuckPerms' wiki.

How to Import Permissions from Another Plugin

1. 1Install LuckPerms as shown above, but leave PEx/GM installed
2. 2In console type lp migration <plugin>, for example lp migration PermissionsEx
3. 3LuckPerms will notify you if it needs any more information to complete the move
4. 4Enjoy your new permissions setup!
