PermissionCore vs ThunderPerms

PermissionCore has no write-up on Specifiction yet; its figures are above.

ThunderPerms is a free permissions plugin for self-hosted Paper servers. It manages UUID-based player permissions, groups, memberships, inheritance, true and false nodes, wildcard nodes, temporary grants, and world-scoped permissions. Group inheritance includes cycle prevention and weights for priority. Expired temporary permissions and memberships are removed automatically. YAML is the default storage backend, with optional SQLite, MySQL, and MariaDB support. Administrators can check and explain permissions, verify or repair data, inspect status, and create backups. Audit logs record permission, group, repair, and backup actions. The API supports permission checks, detailed reasons, user and group inspection, assignments, known groups, and storage health. Safeguards include protected default and built-in administrator groups, path protections against directory traversal, credential redaction, and safer default TLS settings for MySQL and MariaDB. Integrations include the AugmentedThunder suite, StormEconomy, StormParty, and StormFactions. The listed license is Apache 2.0, with Paper and Minecraft version 26.1.2 specified.
