PermissionManager
PermissionManager is a NeoForge library that gives other mods a permission layer separate from Minecraft's native permission system.
What it does
PermissionManager works as a standalone permission management tool and as a foundational framework. Other mods created by MC_CaoFangKuai depend on it to query and verify permissions through one shared interface, so each mod in the series does not need its own permission code. Players and server owners can also edit permissions directly with a command, and the mod states that it does not interfere with vanilla gameplay.
The mod is a lightweight library: it is decoupled from Minecraft's native permission system, and it stays out of the way of normal play. It is required by other mods in the MC_CaoFangKuai series, so it should be installed whenever one of those mods is used. Files are published for NeoForge 1.21.1 only, with the latest file 2602_V2-alpha on the alpha channel, released under All rights reserved and not open source.
Key features
Standalone permission system
Permissions are managed by PermissionManager itself, separate from the permission checks built into Minecraft.
Unified permission API
A standardized API lets MC_CaoFangKuai mods query and verify permissions in the same way.
Command management
A permission command lets an operator view and edit permissions in game without changing any files.
Vanilla-neutral behavior
Permission handling is kept apart from the vanilla game, so normal gameplay is not altered by the mod.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.

Use cases
Running the MC_CaoFangKuai series
Installing PermissionManager on a server lets the series mods that depend on it check permissions through one shared system.
Who it’s for: Server owners who run MC_CaoFangKuai mods on NeoForge 1.21.1 and need one place to manage their permissions.
How it compares

Alexandria Lib targets Fabric and NeoForge for 1.21.1 under All rights reserved and is not open source.
