PermissionsEx (PEX) is a Minecraft plugin that provides full-featured permissions and group management for servers and proxy networks. It exposes a developer API, supports multiple platform implementations, and is designed to be extended with different datastore backends and platform adapters.

🎯 Purpose

PermissionsEx is intended for server administrators and plugin developers who need granular control over permission nodes, group hierarchies, and runtime permission queries. It targets both single-server setups and multi-server/proxy networks by offering platform-specific builds and an implementation-agnostic core.

⚙️ Features

Fine-grained permission node assignment and group management.
Programmatic API for plugins to query and modify permissions at runtime.
Pluggable datastore architecture (supports adding or implementing new backends).
Multiple platform implementations (Bukkit/Spigot/Paper, Sponge, BungeeCord/Waterfall, Velocity, Fabric).
Build artifacts available for platform-specific installs and development artifacts for library use.

🧩 Who It Is For

Server operators who need structured permission groups and inheritance.
Networks using proxies (BungeeCord/Waterfall, Velocity) that require a consistent permission system across backend servers.
Plugin developers who need an API to read or modify permission data programmatically.

🏗️ Example Use Cases

Creating role-based groups (admin, moderator, builder, default) with distinct permission sets.
A proxy-backed network using platform builds for consistent permission handling across backend servers.
A developer integrating permission checks into custom plugins via the PEX API.

⚙️ Installation

📥 Setup

Obtain the official platform build (the project produces .jar artifacts for supported server platforms).
Place the .jar file into your server's plugins/ directory for Bukkit/Spigot/Paper-like servers (or the appropriate plugin/mod folder for other platforms).
Restart the server and monitor the server console to confirm the plugin loads and creates its configuration/data directories.

📦 Dependencies

No runtime dependencies are required by default in the core repository; platform-specific builds are provided. (Do not assume additional plugins are required unless your chosen build or documentation specifies them.)

🧠 Technical Notes

The project provides a modular core and platform-specific implementations; it is distributed as separate artifacts for different server and proxy platforms.
An API and Maven/Gradle artifacts are available for developers who want to include PEX components in other projects.
The source repository has been maintained publicly and includes an issues tracker and documentation resources for setup and development.

🤝 When This Plugin Is Useful

If you need a permissions system that separates core logic from platform implementations and provides an API for developers, PermissionsEx is useful because it offers platform-specific builds, datastore extensibility, and programmatic access to permission data.
