MyPermissions vs PermissionManager

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.

PermissionManager is a lightweight permission-management plugin for Minecraft servers using Paper or Folia. Administrators can assign a permission node to a player with `/perm add ` and remove one with `/perm remove `. Use of the `/perm` command requires the `perm.use` permission. Configuration uses the YAML files `groups.yml` and `uses.yml`, and `/perm reload` reloads that configuration. The listed pinned version is 1.0.6-20240721, with a stated Minecraft version range of 1.20.2–1.21; a download is labeled `1.20.2-1.21`. English is listed as supported, and the project is categorized as an Admin Tools resource. PermissionManager is free and includes a GPL-3.0 license. Its scope is limited to player permissions: it has no group inheritance, network support, web editor, or temporary permissions. The repository page does not describe support terms.
