Getting Started

Install

1. Put History Stages (6.1.0 or newer) and HSTG: Permissions into the mods folder of the server.
2. Put both into the client too if you want the editor tab, F3+F4 support and ranks on name tags.
3. Start the server once. The config appears as config/hstg_permissions-server.toml.

Lock creative mode until a stage

Say you have a global stage iron_age and creative mode should stay closed until the world reaches it.

1. Open the History Stages editor and pick iron_age.
2. Go to the Commands tab and click +.
3. Search for gamemode, open it and tick creative. Click Add.
4. Save the stage.

That's it. Until the world has iron_age, nobody can run /gamemode creative, not even an operator. Once it's unlocked, everyone can, operator or not. /gamemode survival still works like before, since no entry names it.

The same entry in the stage's JSON file:

"addons": {
  "hstg_permissions:commands": [
    { "command": "minecraft.gamemode.creative" }
  ]
}

Give a command to a role

For a moderator role, use an individual stage, say role_moderator, and add minecraft.kick and minecraft.tp. Give the stage to a player with /history unlock. They can kick and teleport from then on, without being an operator. Take the stage away and the commands are gone again, no relog needed.

Want them to see [Mod] in front of their name as well? See Ranks.

Check that it works

/hstgperms check Steve gamemode creative

tells you whether Steve may run it and which stage decides. More in Commands.
