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.
