MyPermissions

Overview

MyPermissions is a Minecraft server plugin for organizing group access and individual player permissions. It suits administrators who want to configure those settings both through a web editor and in-game; its appeal is practical control without a software fee.

Key features

Groups can carry permissions, negations, prefixes, suffixes and ranks, and administrators can designate a default group. That combination supports a structured approach to server access and rank display. In-game group configuration is useful for admins who prefer to make changes from within the server, while direct player permissions and negations allow exceptions without changing an entire group.

The web editor covers players and groups: admins can create and configure groups, add or remove players, set the default group and reload the plugin. Having both browser and in-game controls gives server operators options for routine administration, though teams that want only one configuration route may find the dual interface less important. The project directs users to its wiki and Discord for help and feature requests.

Pricing

MyPermissions costs nothing. The free plan is the Minecraft permissions plugin, and the project describes the software as open source. There is no paid tier or subscription trade-off: it is a sensible fit for servers seeking permissions management without a software charge.

Platforms

MyPermissions is self-hosted and offers a web editor. It is listed for Bukkit, Spigot and Paper, and Hangar identifies it as a Paper plugin with downloads for Minecraft versions 1.21 through 1.21.8. The latest listed version is 1.3.6 for that range. Administrators should make sure their server version and platform fit before adopting it.

The project is also available on Modrinth. Its Bukkit project page dates creation to June 4, 2017, reports 66,114 total downloads and gives September 22, 2025 as the release date for V1.3.6.

Who it's for

MyPermissions is a strong match for Minecraft server administrators who want group and player-level access controls, plus the choice of a web editor or in-game configuration. Its free, open-source model may also suit operators who prefer self-hosted software without a paid plan. It is less compelling for teams seeking features beyond permissions and group administration, or whose server version falls outside the displayed Minecraft range.

Pros and cons

• Two configuration routes: The web editor and in-game GUI let administrators choose how to manage settings.
• Group and individual controls: Permissions and negations are available at both levels, with group prefixes, suffixes, ranks and a default group.
• No software fee: The plan is free and the project is open source.
• Version fit matters: The displayed Minecraft support covers versions 1.21 through 1.21.8, so servers outside that range should verify compatibility before choosing it.

Alternatives

Minecraft Permissions Plugins is the category directory for comparing more options. Among specific choices, GroupManager is another free, self-hosted option; LuckPerms is free and spans API, Linux, self-hosted and web platforms. Choose BungeePerms when its stated BungeeCord/Velocity and Spigot/PaperSpigot focus fits your server setup, or Multipass when you need a Nukkit permissions plugin.

Nimbus AntiCheat is a free self-hosted alternative centered on anti-cheat checks and staff tools rather than permissions management. MultiPerms, PermissionManager and ServerRoles are also free alternatives.

Verdict

Choose MyPermissions if you run a compatible Minecraft server and want free, open-source permission controls with both web and in-game configuration. Its combination of group organization and individual player exceptions is the main reason to pick it; look elsewhere if your server version is outside the displayed range or another server setup is a better fit.
