Vault, Chat & Plugin Integrations

Vault

With Vault installed, AetherPermissions registers itself as the Permission and Chat provider. Plugins that use Vault then work automatically:

Plugin type	Examples	What they get
Essentials	EssentialsX, EssentialsX Chat	Ranks, prefix/suffix, group-based settings
Tab / scoreboard	TAB, Tablist plugins	Prefix/suffix and group for sorting
Chat plugins	VentureChat, ChatControl, DeluxeChat	Prefix/suffix
Shops & ranks	Rank-up plugins, shop plugins	Add/remove ranks, check groups

Check the console on startup for Hooked into Vault (Permission + Chat).

Details

• Primary group = the player's highest-weight group.
• Prefix/suffix are sent as classic colour codes, so every plugin can show them. MiniMessage gradients and hex colours are converted automatically.
• Plugins that add or remove ranks through Vault (e.g. a rank-up plugin) go through AetherPermissions, are saved and synced like any other change.
• Vault meta/info values are stored as nodes named meta.<key>.<value>. For example, meta.homes.5 returns 5 for the key homes.

Plugins without Vault

Plugins that only check player.hasPermission(...) work automatically. AetherPermissions sets the permissions directly on the player, the standard Paper way.

PlaceholderAPI

Use the Vault expansion:

/papi ecloud download Vault
/papi reload

Placeholders: %vault_prefix%, %vault_suffix%, %vault_group%, %vault_rank%.

Built-in chat format

No chat plugin? Enable chat.format-enabled in the Configuration to show prefixes in chat.

Group checks in other plugins

Every group a player has (including inherited ones) is available as the permission group.<name>. For example, a plugin or config can require group.vip.
