This plugin is for an easy way to grant players ranks and permissions (You can also take away permissions). You use a simple-to-use GUI that is very customizable.
You can give the ranks/permissions for a certain amount of time (If your permission plugin allows that) and a reason for giving the rank/permission. You can also now have custom durations and reasons (Only on version 2.1.0+).
You can customize what each rank and permission. You can set the display name, set a lore to the item, and can make some items glow that could be important.
At the end of the grant, it displays a confirmation menu that shows the details about the grant. You can either confirm or cancel the grant.
Each rank and permission can have a certain permission that the player needs to grant (rankgrant.grant.<rank/permission>).
Grants are also logged in a file. You can see the logs in game (/grantadmin logs), or in the config file. Logs in the GUI are also sorted:
- Gray Wool: This means that the grant has expired
- Lime Wool: The grant has been given less than 2 hours ago
- Green Wool: The grant has been given less than 24 hours ago
- Yellow Wool: The grant has been given less than a week ago
- Orange Wool: If the grant has been given over a week ago
The plugin uses commands to execute the grant, so it should work with most permissions plugins, even custom ones. The plugin has been tested and used with LuckPerms.
Note: You have a limited number of ranks, reasons, and durations
Step One: Download the plugin and put it in your "plugins" folder
Step Two: Restart your server, and then format the config file to your liking (Also adjust the commands to your permission plugin)
Step Three: Restart your Server, and then enjoy

Fixing Config (v2.0.0+):
To fix your config do /grantadmin fixconfig (Permission: rankgrant.fixconfig). To "fix" thew config it creates a backup of your current config file. Then it deletes it and creates a brand new one (that has the new features). You can then copy things from your backup file to the new config file (i.e., copy the ranks and permissions from the backup).
Note: I will try to make it more automated in the future, but for now this does the trick.
- /grant <Player>: Grants a player a rank or a permission
- /grantadmin logs: Displays the latest number of logs
- /grantadmin reload: Reloads the config file
- /grantadmin help: Displays this message
- /grantadmin fixconfig: Updates the config file (To the versions config file), and creates a backup config (So you can replace everything in the new config)
- rankgrant.grant: Allows the player to grant a player a rank/permission
- rankgrant.grant.<rank/permission>: Allows the player to grant a player the certain rank.
- rankgrand.reload: Allows the player to reload the config
- rankgrant.update: Displays a message to the player if there is an update for the plugin
- rankgrant.help: Displays a help message showing all the commands
- rankgrant.fixconfig: Allows the player to fix the config
- rankgrant.logs: The player can see the logs in a GUI
