What MultiPerms is
MultiPerms is a free, open-source permission management plugin for Minecraft servers using BungeeCord, Spigot, or Velocity. Administrators can create custom groups, assign permissions directly to individual players, and place players in multiple groups so they inherit permissions. Changes can take effect without restarting the server. The plugin also supports configurable chat colors based on permissions and includes preconfigured basic permission sets. Its configuration is described as almost fully configurable, and the config updater is intended to preserve custom changes. Listed requirements include Minecraft 1.16–1.21, Java 17 or later, and a supported server platform. Installation requires downloading the MultiPerms JAR and FacilisCommon, then placing the plugins in the server's plugins folder. GitHub Releases is the project's download route. The repository includes a multiperms-api module, and the project is licensed under GNU GPL version 3.0. The README directs users to contact Dev7ex through Twitter or the linked Discord server for questions or support.
