_Features checked on 19th Aug 2016. If you find any inaccuracies, please do let me know. I tried to be as fair as possible, and copy all major features from the respective plugin pages._
* **Wildcard permissions** - users/groups can be given wildcard permissions (e.g. "minecraft.command.*"), even when plugins haven't implemented their own wildcards.
* **Per-world permissions/groups** - define user/group permissions that only apply on certain worlds (on BungeeCord, a connected Bukkit/Spigot instance is treated as a world)
* **Tracks / paths / ladders** - users can be promoted/demoted along multiple group tracks
* **Full support for UUIDs, even in Offline Mode** - users can change their usernames without losing permissions. In offline mode, a single user has the same internal UUID across a network.
* **Permission data stored within MySQL in a json format** - easily integrate the LuckPerms backend into your other projects
* **Well documented** - API methods have comprehensive Java docs, it's clear what each method does.
Example: if a user has a true permission set for "luckperms.\*", and a false permission set for "luckperms.something", the non-wildcard permission will override the wildcard, and "luckperms.something" will be set to false, despite the wildcard.
* **More specific wildcards override less specific ones**
Example: if a user has "luckperms.\*" set to true, but "luckperms.user.\*" set to false, all of the user permissions will be set to false, despite the more generic wildcard for "luckperms.*".
* **Temporary permissions will override non-temporary permissions.**
Example: if a user has a false permission set for "test.node", and a temporary true permission set for "test.node", the temporary permission will override the permanent one, and the user will be granted the true node.
Example: if a user has a global "fly.use" permission, and then has a negated "fly.use" permission in the "world_nether" world, the world specific permission will override the globally defined one, and the user will be granted the negated node (provided they're in that world, of course.).
Example: if a user has a global "fly.use" permission, and then has a negated "fly.use" permission on the "factions" server, the server specific permission will override the globally defined one, and the user will be granted the negated node (provided they're on that server).
Example: A user is a member of the default group, which grants "some.thing.perm", but the users own permissions has "some.thing.perm" set to false. The inherited permission will be overridden by the users own permissions, and the user will be granted the negative node.
Temporary permissions are audited once every 3 seconds, to check if they have expired. This check happens regardless of the sync interval setting. This means that you can safely set temporary permissions to expire after a matter of seconds, and they will be removed on-time.
You use brackets to define part of a node as a shorthand group, and then use the vertical bar `|` to separate entries.
There are some limitations, firstly, you cannot use shorthand in the first part of the node. (The "luckperms" part in the example above)
Additionally, you cannot combine shorthand and normal text in the same part of the node.
For example, `luckperms.(user|group).(set|unset)permission` would not work.
### Regex
LuckPerms has support for regex when defining permission nodes and server/world names.
Whenever regex is used, it MUST be prefixed with "R=", so LuckPerms knows to treat it as regex, and not as a normal string.
For example, if you wanted to give all members of the default group, the `essentials.fly` permission on all of your hub servers, where the hub server names are hub1, hub2, hub3, etc.
You would use the command `/perms group default set essentials.fly true R=hub\d+`.
You can also use regex in permission nodes.
Once again using LuckPerms permissions as an example, if you wanted a user to be able to create both groups and tracks, you would normally just add the two permission nodes. However with regex, you can just add one. `luckperms\.create.*` Remember to escape any characters, specifically dots, as the entire node will be parsed.
LuckPerms has an extensive API, allowing for easy integration with other projects. To use the Api, you need to obtain an instance of the `LuckPermsApi` interface. This can be done in a number of ways.
The only difference is that the patch number is not included anywhere within the pom, and is calculated each build, based upon how may commits have been made since the last tag. (A new tag is made every minor version)
This means that API versions do not have a patch number (as no API changes are made in patches). API versions will be x.y, and each individual build of LuckPerms will follow x.y.z.
Command usage is printed to the console/chat whenever invalid arguments are provided. Simply typing /perms will list all commands a user has permission to use.
