| Fact | LuckPerms | ServerRoles |
|---|---|---|
| Developer API | Its public, semantically versioned API is provided by the plugin for other plugins to integrate with and retrieve data from LuckPerms. | Other plugins can query and change player roles and permissions through the ServerRoles API, and listen for a cancellable role-change event that fires for online players. |
| Integrations | LuckPerms exposes placeholders through PlaceholderAPI, MVdWPlaceholderAPI, and Fabric PlaceholderAPI hooks. | Optional PlaceholderAPI integration provides nine placeholders, usable by compatible plugins such as TAB, DeluxeChat, Essentials, HolographicDisplays, DecentHolograms, and scoreboard plugins. |
| Purpose | LuckPerms is a permissions plugin for Minecraft servers that lets admins control player access by creating groups and assigning permissions. | ServerRoles is a lightweight role-based permission and prefix management plugin for Paper and Purpur 1.21.11 servers running Java 21 or later. |
| Storage | LuckPerms supports multiple data storage options, including MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB for multi-server networks. | Role data can be stored in YAML, SQLite, or MySQL, with YAML as the default backend. |
