Permission Ranks

Give ranks better death perks with permissions. A common setup on servers that sell ranks: the higher the rank, the less a player loses when they die.

  • No rank: drop everything except gear
  • VIP: drop only resources
  • MVP: keep everything

Required Plugins​

Rule​

default_behavior: KEEP

rules:
  not_mvp:
    name: "Everyone below MVP"
    enabled: true
    conditions:
      permissions:
        nodes:
          - "!myserver.rank.mvp"   # <-- Players WITHOUT the MVP permission
    effects:
      drop:
        mode: ALL
        filters:
          items:
            - "G:RESOURCES"        # <-- Drop resources
    children:
      not_vip:
        name: "Everyone below VIP"
        enabled: true
        conditions:
          permissions:
            nodes:
              - "!myserver.rank.vip"   # <-- ...who also don't have VIP
        effects:
          drop:
            mode: ALL
            filters:
              items:
                - "*"              # <-- Also drop everything else...
                - "!G:EQUIPMENT"   # <-- ...except gear

How it works​

The permission names are up to you, give them to your ranks in your permissions plugin. For example with LuckPerms:

/lp group mvp permission set myserver.rank.mvp true
/lp group vip permission set myserver.rank.vip true

The not_mvp rule applies to everyone without the MVP permission, and makes them drop their resources. Its child rule is only checked when the parent's conditions pass, so it only applies to players who have neither MVP nor VIP. They lose everything else except their gear too.

MVP players don't match the first rule, so neither rule applies to them and they keep everything.

warning

Server operators have every permission by default, so they count as MVP. Test your ranks with an account that isn't opped.

Variations​

A single "keep inventory" perk is just one rule:

rules:
  no_keepinventory_perk:
    name: "Drop items without the perk"
    enabled: true
    conditions:
      permissions:
        nodes:
          - "!myserver.keepinventory"
    effects:
      drop:
        mode: ALL
note

A permission condition matches when the player matches any of its nodes, so ["!myserver.rank.vip", "!myserver.rank.mvp"] in a single condition would match everyone who is missing either permission. Use child rules like above when a rule should need several permissions at once.
