Permits and Diplomas

by Splakra

Permits and Diplomas lets players hand out and track permits, letters and written contracts on Forge servers for Minecraft 1.20.1.

What it does

Permit Envelopes are opened to draw a random permit from configurable tiers and pools, and each permit has a title and content that can be changed in the config. Players can see which permits they have already claimed, and a simple list shows what has been done. Decisions can be reversed: a claimed permit is released again with Shift and right-click, and the mod keeps track of item counts.

A basic item shows custom text to someone else, and a fuller item lets two players draft a contract that both of them sign, much like a quill-and-book document carrying two signatures. Once signed and sealed, a contract cannot be changed. Creative-only tools include a Permit Editor that edits title and content from the offhand, and a Data Delete item that resets permit data if something goes wrong. The mod is based on trust alone, so it has no built-in enforcement. Client and server both need the mod, and it works alongside other mods. Diplomas are still a work in progress.

Key features

  1. Permit envelopes

    Envelopes draw a random permit from configurable tiers, and each permit keeps its title and content.

  2. Signed contracts

    Players write a contract that both parties sign, and it is sealed so it cannot be altered afterwards.

  3. Claim tracking

    A list shows which permits a player has claimed, and a claim can be released with Shift and right-click.

  4. Creative tools

    A Permit Editor and a Data Delete item let operators change permit content or reset permit data.

Use cases

Server economies

Server owners can use permits as a trust-based record of claims, tracked in game.

Role-play contracts

Players can write signed agreements to bind their characters or trades without a plugin.

Who it’s for: Server owners running Forge 1.20.1 communities who want paper-style permits and contracts without extra admin commands. Players who trade or role-play with each other can use the signed contract items for agreements.

Questions

Does Permits and Diplomas have to be installed on both sides?

Yes. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too.

Which optional dependencies does it work with?

Create and Just Enough Items (JEI) are optional dependencies, so the mod works without them.

Can a signed contract be changed later?

No. Once a contract is signed and sealed it cannot be changed, and only the creative Data Delete item resets permit data.

Permits and Diplomas (Diplomas are still WIP) provides an easy way to do just that. It offers a simple List where players can look at who is allowed to do what and who is already done with their stuff. Draw a random Permit from an unopened letter, claim it and get to work.
