LuckPerms is the industry gold standard for permission management. It works locally via H2 or scales globally using MySQL for real-time rank synchronization.

Apply to your service

Install LuckPerms

Downloads LuckPerms from Modrinth to your server. Database wiring is configured separately using the steps in this guide.

  • A compatible LuckPerms build lands in the plugins folder
  • On restart it starts with the default file-based storage

The server must be restarted for this change to take effect.

If you have a Clodo service you can apply these steps without touching a terminal. You always see the diff before anything is written.

1. Configuring Ranks via Web Editor#

Instead of writing tedious commands in console, generate an interactive visual session via `/lp editor`.

How to Implement This?

Clodo Control Panel Quick Method

Ready-made credentials in the panel

There is no wizard that binds LuckPerms to your database. The database is a separate Managed Database plan; you take its credentials from the panel and write them into LuckPerms' config.yml yourself.

Where in Panel? Panel > Service detail > 'Database' card shows host, port, user and password, each copyable.
Step-by-step Execution:
  1. 1Open a MariaDB plan from the Managed Database category.
  2. 2Copy the credentials from the 'Database' card on your Minecraft service detail page.
  3. 3Install LuckPerms from the 'Plugins & Mods' tab, then set storage-method to MySQL in plugins/LuckPerms/config.yml and fill in the details.
  4. 4Enter the same details on every server in the network; sync only happens when they all write to the same database.
