How To Install Luckperms On A Minecraft Server

Installing the LuckPerms plugin/mod

Luck Perms has versions of a number of platforms. Head to their Download Page. Once you have the mod/plugin file downloaded, you'll need to upload it to your server. Here's how:

1. Login to your Kinetic Panel

2. Stop your server.

   

3. Go to File Manager.

   

4. You'll now to need to find your mods folder, or your plugins folder depending on what loader you're using. But for the purpose of this guide, we'll be uploading to a mods folder.
   You can either upload the file by dragging and dropping the downloaded file, or click the "Upload" button and select the file there.

   

5. Once that's done, you can start your server.

   

Using The plugin

Once the plugin is installed we can add groups, and permissions via its inbuilt web editor. To open this we're going to run lp editor from the console.
To do this, you'll need to either type "lp editor" and "luckperms editor" in the console.

When you have the link that luck perms provides you with, copy the link and place it in your browser.

When in the editor we can make new groups with the plus button, and add permissions using the box at the bottom of the page. Once you're done editing your permissions press the save button.

Adding A Prefix

A prefix is a tag before the name. To add a prefix to a role, open the editor and put prefix.weight.prefix

Here is an example:

prefix.22.&a&l{&6Head Admin&a&l} &r

The weight will tell Luck Perms what prefix should show. So if the player has the Admin and Head Admin roles, you can see the weight to a higher number on the Head Admin role for it to show.

Getting Prefixes To Show

Now you've set the prefix, we need to get it to show in chat. For this, you'll need something to manage your in-game chat. You can use a plugin like Essentials Chat or Chat EX for this.

Just add one of these plugins to your server, and it shows start showing the prefixes.

Setting Permissions.

To set permissions, you'll need to know the permission node. These should be posted by the plugin dev somewhere.

Essentials has theirs posted here.

So for example, if we want the player to be able to run /afk. We would need to give them the essentials.afk node.
