Discover how to install and configure LuckPerms to manage advanced permissions and ranks on your Hytale game server → Learn more now
10 November 20263 min read0 Views0 helpful
Introduction
Managing permissions on a Hytale game server becomes increasingly important once you work with staff roles, custom ranks, or special player perks. While the default in-game permission system is suitable for simple administration, it quickly reaches its limits when you need fine-grained control over commands and features.
LuckPerms offers a robust and highly customizable permission system for Hytale game servers. It allows you to precisely define which permissions and commands different players or groups can use.
Commonly Used LuckPerms Commands
You can manage LuckPerms either via the web editor or directly through commands. The following commands are frequently used for permission management:
Command
Description
/lp user <playername> parent add <group>
Adds the player to the group permission.
/lp user <playername> parent remove <group>
Removes the player from the group permission.
/lp user <playername> permission set <permission>
Grants the permission to the player.
lp user <playername> permission settemp <permission> true <duration>
Grants a temporary permission to the player, e.g., 1h for 1 hour or 1m for 1 minute.
/lp user <playername> permission unset <permission>
Removes the permission from the player.
/lp group <group> permission set <permission>

Installing LuckPerms
To install LuckPerms, first download the latest LuckPerms .jar file.
After downloading, open your server management panel and stop the game server to safely upload the mod.
Navigate to the Files section of your server and open the mods folder. Upload the LuckPerms .jar file into this folder. For a detailed explanation on how to install mods, we recommend checking the Installing Mods guide.
Once the upload is complete, restart the server. After the server starts, open the server console and check if LuckPerms is running correctly. Successful installation will show LuckPerms startup messages in the console.
Assigning Initial Permissions
After installation, LuckPerms needs to be configured before you can use it effectively. To start managing permissions, you must grant yourself the rights to use LuckPerms commands. Execute the following command in the console or in-game chat:
Code
lp user <playername> permission set luckperms.* true
This grants the selected player full access to all LuckPerms commands.
Using the LuckPerms Web Editor
LuckPerms provides a web editor that offers a convenient interface for creating groups and managing permissions. To start an editor session, enter:
Code
lp editor
LuckPerms will output a link to the editor in the console. Open this link in your browser to use the web editor.
Code
[LP] Preparing a new editor session, please wait...
[LP] Click the link below to open the editor:
https://luckperms.net/editor/XXXXXXXXXX
In the editor, copy the displayed command link. Back in the server console, paste this link to establish trust and connect the editor session with your server.
Code
/lp trusteditor XXXX-XXXX
Once the editor is connected, you can configure users, groups, and permissions directly in the web interface. After making changes, click Apply to save the configuration. If LuckPerms outputs an apply command, copy it and paste it into the server console to finalize the changes.
Creating an Admin Group
Open the editor link in your browser and navigate to the Groups section. Create a new group using the plus icon and name it admin. Optionally, you can set additional details such as display name, weight, parent group, and prefix/suffix.
After creating the group, select the admin group in the editor and add permissions. To grant the group full Hytale rights, enter:
Code
hytale.*
This permission grants full access to all Hytale permissions. After adding the permissions, assign a player to the group.
In the editor, open the Users section, select the desired user, and add the admin group under Parent groups.
Finally, click Apply to save your changes. If prompted, paste the apply command into the server console.
Conclusion
LuckPerms is a powerful solution for advanced permission management on Hytale game servers. With groups, permissions, and the web editor, you can create a structured role system that grows with your community.
Once LuckPerms is set up, you can easily maintain staff ranks, player perks, and access rights while keeping your server administration clean, consistent, and performant.
