Spec score 8.4 #3 of 12 in Minecraft Permissions Plugins

What it is

Multipass is a free permissions plugin for Nukkit. Administrators can assign or remove positive and negative permissions for individual users and groups, and groups can inherit permissions from parent groups. Permissions and groups can also be associated with specific worlds. The project documents an API for other plugins, along with commands to export users and groups to one file and import permissions from a file. Configuration supports YAML storage and database options including MySQL and SQLite; using database mode requires the DbLib plugin. A configurable auto-update interval can refresh groups and permissions across a multi-server system, and configuration includes an option for world mirroring. The multipass.admin permission is required to use Multipass commands. The README links to a latest development build and notes that its project page is outdated. It describes translations into Russian, Turkish, French, and Korean and invites community translation contributions through Crowdin. Multipass is listed for Nukkit rather than general-purpose use on unspecified platforms.

Multipass in depth

Read the full write-up

Overview

Multipass is a permissions plugin for Nukkit servers, aimed at administrators who need to organize access across users, groups and worlds. Its strongest case is control without a price tag; its narrower case is that it is built for Nukkit rather than a general Minecraft server stack.

Administrators can grant or remove permissions for users and groups, including explicit negative permissions. Groups can inherit from parent groups, while world-specific permissions and groups let a server apply different rules in different worlds. The multipass.admin permission gates use of Multipass commands, keeping command access within the same permission system.

Key features

Permission hierarchy: Group inheritance gives shared rules a place to live, so administrators can add group-specific permissions without repeating every baseline permission. Explicit negative permissions are useful when a user or group must be denied access despite broader grants.

World-specific policies: World-related permissions and groups suit servers whose worlds have different access needs. Configuration also includes world mirroring, though this is a setting to enable rather than a substitute for planning those rules.

File transfer: Commands can export all groups and users to one file and import permissions from a file. That provides a practical route to preserve or move permission configuration.

Storage and synchronization: Configuration documents YAML, MySQL and SQLite storage. A configurable auto-update interval can refresh groups and permissions across a multi-server system, which is useful when servers need to stay aligned. Database mode requires the separate DbLib plugin, adding a dependency that YAML users can avoid.

Plugin API: The API gives other plugins a documented integration point. Multipass is therefore more than a command-only permission manager for server administrators.

Pricing

Multipass is free: the plan costs free. There is no paid tier to weigh against the free version. The main practical distinction is configuration choice: YAML avoids the DbLib requirement, while MySQL or SQLite database mode requires DbLib.

Platforms

Multipass is self-hosted and supports Nukkit. It is a fit for operators running that server platform, not a cross-platform permission service. Its network support and configurable update interval make it relevant to multi-server Nukkit setups, but the documented integration remains centered on Nukkit and its plugins.

Who it's for

Choose Multipass if you run Nukkit and want a free permission system with group inheritance, world-specific rules, file import and export, and multiple storage options. It is particularly suitable when you can manage its configuration yourself and either use YAML or accept DbLib as a database dependency. Look elsewhere if your server platform is not Nukkit or you need a permission product without that database-plugin constraint.

Pros and cons

Pros

Fine-grained rules: Positive and negative permissions, inheritance, and world-specific groups give administrators several ways to structure access.

Useful configuration flexibility: YAML, MySQL and SQLite support, plus import and export commands, cover both file-based and database-oriented workflows.

Built for integrations: A documented API and configurable multi-server updating suit setups that need plugins or servers to work with shared permission data.

No software cost: The free plan leaves no paid tier to unlock for the described permission features.

Cons

Nukkit-specific: Its platform scope rules it out for operators seeking one permissions tool across other server software.

Database mode adds a dependency: MySQL and SQLite use requires DbLib, so database storage brings another plugin to install and maintain.

Project page caveat: The README says the project page is outdated and points to a latest development build, so prospective users should account for that when choosing a download path.

Alternatives

Browse Minecraft Permissions Plugins to compare other options by category.

GroupManager is another free, self-hosted option; choose it if its GPL-3.0 licensing and no-paid-plan model suit your needs better.

LuckPerms is free under the MIT license and spans API, Linux, self-hosted and web platforms. Pick it when that broader platform coverage matters more than a Nukkit-focused plugin.

MyPermissions is a free self-hosted and web option described as open-source. Consider it if web availability or an open-source project is a priority.

Nimbus AntiCheat is a free, self-hosted alternative centered on anti-cheat: its plan includes 43 checks, Paper 1.21.8 support, per-check punishments, player reports and staff inspection tools, and Discord webhook notifications. Choose it for those anti-cheat capabilities rather than permission management.

BungeePerms is free and self-hosted for BungeeCord/Velocity and Spigot/PaperSpigot permissions. Pick it when those platforms, rather than Nukkit, are the target.

MultiPerms is a free option with API, Linux and self-hosted platforms; consider it if that platform mix fits your deployment.

PermissionManager is another free option.

ServerRoles is free and supports API and self-hosted platforms.

Verdict

Multipass is a sound choice for Nukkit administrators who want detailed permission controls, world-aware groups and flexible storage at no cost. Its integration API and file transfer commands strengthen the case for a managed server setup. Choose another tool if you do not run Nukkit, or if database mode without a DbLib dependency is essential.

Verdict

Multipass offers detailed permission controls and storage choices for Nukkit, with a documented plugin API. Check the DbLib requirement for database mode and the README's note about the outdated project page.
