In their own words

GroupManager

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.

YASB Reborn

YASB Reborn is a free, open-source Windows status bar built around widgets, live data, and custom automations. It includes more than 50 widgets for system statistics, workspaces, media, utilities, and integrations. Native integrations with GlazeWM and Komorebi can display workspace and tiling information. YAML files define bars, screens, widget positions, update settings, and actions, while CSS handles imports, variables, scoped widget styling, animations, and live hot-reloading. Different or mirrored bars can run across multiple monitors, and one monitor can host multiple bars. YASB is designed for Windows 11 and also works on Windows 10 through Win32 APIs. Installation options include x64 and ARM64 MSI files, WinGet, Scoop, Chocolatey, Python, or source builds. It operates locally and says it does not collect or centrally store personal information. The project uses the MIT License.
