LuckPerms vs Multipass

LuckPerms is a free permissions plugin for Minecraft servers. Administrators use it to create groups and assign player permissions through commands, configuration files, or a browser-based editor. The project provides implementations for server platforms including Bukkit, BungeeCord, Fabric, Forge, Nukkit, Sponge, and Velocity, with NeoForge and Hytale also listed among supported platforms. For multi-server networks, permission data can be shared across instances using the same supported storage system; options include MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and others. The web editor works with all storage types. LuckPerms provides a public API for other plugins and a REST API extension that lets programs read and modify its data without direct database access. It can also run as a standalone app. The project says it does not report to analytics or monitoring services and does not automatically check for or install updates. It does download required libraries and translation bundles over the internet and connects to external services for features such as the web editor. Its FAQ says it supports Minecraft versions from 1.8.8 through the latest release.

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 The README links to a latest development build and notes that its project page is outdated.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.
