GroupManager vs MonitorDock

GroupManager is a free permissions plug-in for Bukkit and Spigot Minecraft servers. It lets server administrators organize permissions into groups, assign players and set up inheritance hierarchies with promotion or demotion paths. Permission rules can use wildcard, negative and exception nodes. Users and groups can be managed through configuration files, console commands or in-game commands, and permissions can be given expiration periods. Group and user variables include prefixes, suffixes and build status; PlaceholderAPI placeholders expose group details and permission checks to other plug-ins. The listed storage options include YAML, H2, MySQL, SQLite, PostgreSQL and MariaDB. Installation involves putting the JAR in the server's plugins folder and editing config.yml. The v3.2 release is listed for Minecraft 1.8 to 1.20+. GroupManager does not provide antigrief functionality; other plug-ins must handle that behavior. The project is released under the GNU General Public License version 3.

MonitorDock replaces taskbars on secondary monitors with individual docks and can optionally replace the primary monitor's taskbar too. Each monitor can have its own pinned apps, and running windows appear only on the monitor where they are located. Users can drag items to reorder them, pin apps or close windows from a right-click menu, and configure clicks to minimize windows. Bar height is configurable from 32–72px, while icon size ranges from 16–48px. MonitorDock can hide secondary Windows taskbars and keep windows from those monitors off the primary taskbar. It can start with Windows and runs in the system tray; double-clicking its tray icon opens the Control Panel. The v1.1.0 release says the dock hides while a fullscreen app is active on its monitor, then returns when fullscreen ends. The project is free and licensed under GNU GPL v3.0. Requirements are Windows 10/11 (64-bit). The README recommends a Windows installer and also documents building from source with the .NET 9 SDK. Settings and crash logs are stored under %AppData%\MonitorDock.
