Permissions
Permissions are the feature allowing you to determine if a player is able to perform an action or not.
A permission contains 2 things, a unique name (same as with Bukkit if you are familiar with it), and an optional
NBTCompound which can be used to add additional data to the permission (no more "my.permission.X" where X represents a number).Handling permission access
In order to add a permission to a PermissionHandler you should use
PermissionHandler#addPermission(Permission).To remove a permission,
PermissionHandler#removePermission(Permission) and PermissionHandler#removePermission(String) are available.Checking permissions
To verify if a PermissionHandler has a permission, you have the choice between simply checking if the handler has a permission with the same name, or verifying that the handler has both the permission name and the right data associated with it.
To check if the handler has a permission with a specific name,
PermissionHandler#hasPermission(String) should be used. If you want to verify that the handler has the right NBT data PermissionHandler#hasPermission(String, PermissionVerifier) is the right choice.A
PermissionVerifier is a simple functional interface used to check if the given NBTCompound is valid.Alternatively,
PermissionHandler#hasPermission(Permission) can be used. It does require both the permission name and the data to be equal.Permission serialisation
Nothing is automatically saved persistently in Minestom, permissions are not an exception.
Permissions must be serialized and deserialized back manually if you want such a feature. You are lucky since the
Permission class can easily be interpreted as 2 strings, one being the permission name, and the second representing the optional data using NBTCompound#toSNBT() (and deserialized with SNBTParser#parse()).Last modified 4mo ago
