Setting Up Ranks with LuckPerms

LuckPerms is the gold standard for server management. It's how you decide who's an Admin, who's a VIP, and who has access to that /fly command. It can be a bit intimidating at first, but once you learn the "Editor" trick, you'll never go back to typing long commands.

1. Quick Installation

Hop into the Plugins tab in Mission Control, search for LuckPerms, and hit install. Give your server a quick restart and you’re ready to go.

2. The Secret Weapon: The Web Editor

Forget memorizing 50 different commands. The easiest way to manage your ranks is through your browser:

Type /lp editor in-game or in the Console.
Click the link that appears.
This opens a clean web interface where you can create groups (like "Moderator") and just check off the permissions they need.
Save Your Work: Click Save in the top right, copy the command it gives you, and paste it back into your server's console. Done!

3. Creating Your First Ranks

If you do want to use the console, here are the three commands you’ll use 99% of the time:

Create a rank: /lp creategroup moderator
Give a command: /lp group moderator permission set minecraft.command.tp true
Promote a player: /lp user <player> parent add moderator

4. Rank Inheritance (The Time Saver)

You don't have to give every permission to every rank. You can make a Senior Admin "inherit" everything from a regular Admin.

/lp group senior-admin parent add admin
Now, any permission you add to "Admin" will automatically be given to "Senior Admin" too.

5. Troubleshooting Permissions

Not sure why a player can't use a command? Use /lp verbose on. It will show you a live feed of every permission check the server is doing. It’s perfect for spotting typos!
