PermissionsExPlus

PermissionsExPlus is a maintained continuation of the original PermissionsEx plugin for Bukkit, Spigot, and compatible Minecraft servers.

The aim is to preserve the established PermissionsEx experience while improving the project for current Minecraft server versions.

Why PermissionsExPlus?
The original PermissionsEx was widely used throughout the Bukkit and Spigot ecosystem, but active development eventually stopped.

PermissionsExPlus continues that project with a focus on:

• Modern server compatibility
• Ongoing maintenance
• Bug fixes and stability improvements
• Modern API support
• Improved long-term maintainability
• Compatibility with existing PermissionsEx configurations where practical

The goal is to remain a straightforward and familiar permissions solution rather than significantly changing the way PermissionsEx works.

Installation

1. Download the latest PermissionsExPlus release.
2. Place the .jar file in your server's plugins directory.
3. Restart the server.
4. Configure your users, groups, and permissions.
5. Use /pex to manage PermissionsExPlus.

Migrating from PermissionsEx
PermissionsExPlus is designed as a continuation of PermissionsEx and retains its core concepts, including:

• Users
• Groups
• Permission inheritance
• Prefixes and suffixes
• Permission ladders
• Multi-world permissions

Compatibility with older PermissionsEx configurations is an important goal. However, it is recommended that you back up your existing permission data before migrating.
