Lin's Permission
Lin's Permission gives server owners a NeoForge way to group and grant permission nodes, with a permission-group layer and an optional novice gift pack.
What it does
Permission nodes are assigned to groups, and players inherit the nodes of the groups they belong to. The mod supplies the node and group management itself, while further functions are added by separate features that the author lists in the configuration files. Other mods that use permission nodes need the mod installed as a dependency, so they can manage their own nodes through it.
Settings for permissions and permission groups live in the lin perms folder of the configuration directory, with a matching archive folder. The optional novice gift pack has its own contents in the configs folder, and it can be switched on or off in the settings. Administration is done through commands that begin with /linperms.
The mod is built for NeoForge and targets Minecraft 1.21.1 only. It is a client and server mod, so the server and every player need it. Lin's Permission is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike 4.0 license and is not open source, though its source code is public.
