PermissionGate
by ngoclinh_
PermissionGate lets server owners grant or deny gameplay actions such as breaking, interacting, using and attacking through permission nodes.
What it does
PermissionGate is a server-side Fabric mod that checks permissions before a player performs a gameplay action. The nodes pg.break, pg.interact, pg.use and pg.attack cover breaking blocks, interacting with blocks, using items and attacking entities, and each can be set per player or per group.
The mod does not store permissions itself. It exposes them through the Fabric Permissions API, so LuckPerms holds the actual data and handles assignment. Command administrative permissions were added in this release, and more granular permissions are planned for later builds.
Installation needs Fabric API and LuckPerms on the server. PermissionGate runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything. Files are published for Fabric, for 26.2 only, with 1.0.0 as the latest file, released under the MIT License and open source.
Key features
Break and interact nodes
The pg.break and pg.interact nodes restrict block breaking and interaction for the players they are assigned to.
Use and attack nodes
The pg.use and pg.attack nodes control item use and attacks against entities, letting a server restrict combat or tool use.
LuckPerms-backed storage
Permission data is read through the Fabric Permissions API, so existing LuckPerms groups and assignments apply to PermissionGate.
Administrative commands
Command administrative permissions were added, giving operators a permission-based way to control access to server commands.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Server owners who already run LuckPerms and want to control block, item and combat actions by permission node. The mod has no client part, so it suits multiplayer servers that keep their rules on the server side.
