LuckPerms

LuckPerms is an advanced permissions implementation aiming to be a fast, reliable and flexible alternative to existing permission plugins. The project's main goals are centered around high performance and a wide feature set, filling the gaps of functionality and building upon existing features found in other plugins.

LuckPerms also includes an extensive API for developers, and support for a variety of Minecraft server software & data storage options.

See the charts below for a partial list of features & comparison with other providers.
