# EditionPerms<\/p>\n
A lightweight Minecraft plugin for managing permissions separately for Java Edition and Bedrock Edition players on crossplay servers.<\/p>\n
## Features<\/p>\n
– \ud83c\udfae **Separate permissions for Java and Bedrock players**
\n– \ud83d\udd0d **Automatic player detection** via username prefix and UUID checking
\n– \ud83d\udd04 **Fast reload** – Update permissions without restarting the server
\n– \u26a1 **Folia compatible** – Works on both Paper and Folia servers
\n– \ud83d\udee0\ufe0f **Simple configuration** – Easy YAML setup
\n– \ud83e\udeb6 **Lightweight** – Minimal performance impact<\/p>\n
## Why was this plugin created?<\/p>\n
This plugin was originally created to solve a specific problem on crossplay servers: giving Java Edition players anticheat bypass permissions while keeping Bedrock Edition players under normal anticheat protection. It has since evolved into a simple permission management system for any crossplay server running Geyser\/Floodgate.<\/p>\n
## How It Works<\/p>\n
1. **Player joins** \u2192 Plugin detects if they’re Java or Bedrock
\n – Checks username prefix (default: `.` for Bedrock)
\n – Checks UUID format (`00000000-0000-0000-xxxx` for Bedrock)<\/p>\n
2. **Groups are checked** \u2192 Plugin finds matching groups based on player type<\/p>\n
3. **Permissions applied** \u2192 All matching groups’ permissions are granted instantly<\/p>\n
## Commands<\/p>\n
| Command | Aliases | Permission | Description |
\n|———|———|————|————-|
\n| `\/editionpermsreload` | `\/epr`, `\/epreload`, `\/editionreload` | `editionperms.reload` | Reloads the config and reapplies all permissions |<\/p>\n
1. Download the latest `EditionPerms-x.x.x.jar`
\n2. Place the JAR file in your `plugins\/` folder
\n3. Restart your server
\n4. Edit `plugins\/EditionPerms\/config.yml` to configure permissions
\n5. Run `\/editionpermsreload` or restart to apply changes<\/p>\n
## Configuration<\/p>\n
The plugin creates a `config.yml` file in `plugins\/EditionPerms\/`:
\n“`yaml
\n# ==================================================================================
\n# BEDROCK PLAYER DETECTION
\n# ==================================================================================
\n# These settings determine HOW the plugin identifies Bedrock players
\ndetection:
\n # Bedrock players have this prefix in their username (default: “.”)
\n # Example: “.PlayerName” is a Bedrock player, “PlayerName” is Java
\n bedrock-prefix: “.”<\/p>\n
# Also check UUID format to detect Bedrock players (recommended: true)
\n # Bedrock UUIDs start with “00000000-0000-0000”
\n bedrock-uuid-check: true<\/p>\n
# ==================================================================================
\n# PERMISSION GROUPS
\n# ==================================================================================
\n# After a player is identified as Java or Bedrock, these groups assign permissions<\/p>\n
groups:
\n # Give permissions to ALL Java players
\n default-java:
\n type: java
\n prefix: “” # LEAVE EMPTY to apply to ALL Java players
\n permissions:
\n – minecraft.command.me
\n – minecraft.command.trigger<\/p>\n
# Give permissions to ALL Bedrock players
\n default-bedrock:
\n type: bedrock
\n prefix: “” # LEAVE EMPTY to apply to ALL Bedrock players
\n permissions:
\n – minecraft.command.me
\n – minecraft.command.trigger
\n“`<\/p>\n
