You can choose the folder and\/or files. You can also just give viewing permission to files\/folders without allowing players to modify the contents of the files. Permissions are given on a per-player basis.<\/p>\n<p>Both the file editing and permission management processes are handled through a GUI, no commands needed.<\/p>\n<p>Everything visible is configurable, including messages, guis, items.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/UDYaTdCqV1k\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/DvC61lvpoG8\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The plugin supports all versions from 1.8+, and unless there is a massive API change affecting inventory\/item handling, it will continue to work on future versions without requiring updates from me. Please test the plugin on the latest version before asking me to update it.<\/p>\n<p>There are multiple templates for the GUIs. The plugin will choose the best one for your server version. If you&#8217;re on older versions, you will need to do a few minimal modifications when you install the plugin, just some small changes in the config.yml. Some special characters aren&#8217;t available on older versions.<\/p>\n<p>### Commands\/Permissions:<\/p>\n<p>    &#8211; \/editorreload: Reloads the config<\/p>\n<p>    &#8211; \/editfiles: Opens the editor GUI if the player can see or edit at least one file<\/p>\n<p>    &#8211; \/editorperm {player}: Opens the permission giving editor for the target<\/p>\n<p>    &#8211; \/editorperm {player} *: Gives the target view permission for all current files<\/p>\n<p>    &#8211; \/editorperm {player} **: Gives the target edit permission for all current files<\/p>\n<p>    &#8211; \/editorperm {player} -*: Removes all file permissions from the player<\/p>\n<p>    &#8211; \/editorperm {player} onlySeeAvailable: Opens the permission giving editor for the target but only shows files the target can view or edit<\/p>\n<p>    &#8211; All commands except \/editfiles require the following permission: fileeditor.admin<\/p>\n<p>    &#8211; If you have the fileeditor.admin permission, you automatically have permission to edit all existing files.<\/p>\n<p>### Plans for the future<br \/>\nIf the plugin does well, I&#8217;ll continue updating it. A few ideas that I have in mind for possible future updates:<\/p>\n<p>    &#8211; Implementing the list, location and item logic for editing and adding.<br \/>\n    &#8211; Adding buttons that clear the file, delete the file, rename the file<br \/>\n    &#8211; Adding the ability to edit files such as .txt, .properties, .json, etc.<br \/>\n    &#8211; Adding buttons for soft and hard plugin reloads, with special permissions. A soft reload uses the plugin\u2019s built-in reload commands, while a hard reload unloads and reloads the plugin completely.<br \/>\n    &#8211; Adding buttons to unload\/load plugins from disk, with special permissions.<br \/>\n    &#8211; Improving the configuration section\u2019s lore to include a preview of the first few variable values.<br \/>\n    &#8211; Maybe giving users the ability to edit all files from the server? Such as those outside the \/plugins\/ folder<br \/>\n    &#8211; Creating a confirmation screen for destructive actions<br \/>\n    &#8211; Creating a logging system that keeps track of every action related to this plugin<br \/>\n    &#8211; User suggestions<\/p>\n<p>### Contact<br \/>\nDo not report bugs or offer suggestions on the plugin page. I won&#8217;t read them. I only log in here to upload\/update plugins once in a blue moon.
