In their own words
BungeePerms
BungeePerms is a free, self-hosted permissions plugin for managing access across a Minecraft server network. It replaces the built-in permissions systems of BungeeCord and Spigot with one system. The project describes support for BungeeCord, Waterfall, and Velocity proxies, as well as Spigot and Paper/PaperSpigot servers. Administrators can organize permissions into groups, set inheritance and group ladders, and assign timed permissions or groups with promotion and demotion. Permissions can be limited to particular servers and worlds. In-game tools provide permission checks and user and group listings and management. Users and groups can also have prefixes, suffixes, and display names. Storage options are MySQL and YAML; UUID support and regex permissions are optional. The repository identifies the project as GPL-3.0 licensed and links to development builds and a Maven repository for BungeePerms 4. Its README points users to Discord for questions and a wiki for more information. Prefixes need a chat plugin that supports Vault; Essentials Chat is noted as supported.
MyPermissions
MyPermissions is a free, open-source plugin for managing permissions, groups, prefixes, and suffixes on Minecraft servers. It provides a web interface and an in-game GUI, with support listed for Bukkit, Spigot, and Paper. Groups can have prefixes, suffixes, permissions, negations, ranks, and a default group, and can be configured in-game. Administrators can assign permissions and negations to individual players. The web interface lets them manage players and groups, create and configure groups, add or remove players, set the default group, and reload the plugin. The project is also available on Modrinth, and its project page points users to a wiki and Discord for help and feature requests. Hangar lists version 1.3.6 for Minecraft 1.21 through 1.21.8. The Bukkit project page lists the V1.3.6 release date as September 22, 2025, and the project creation date as June 4, 2017. It reports 66,114 total downloads. The listed plan costs nothing.
