Our verdict on BungeePerms

BungeePerms is an open-source Minecraft permissions plugin for connected server networks. It is designed for administrators running BungeeCord, Waterfall, Velocity, Spigot, or Paper environments who need centralized control instead of managing permissions separately on each server. Users and groups, promotion and demotion ladders, prefixes, suffixes, UUID support, and regex permission handling give it a broad administrative scope for network operations.

The self-hosted, open-source model fits teams that want to manage deployment and storage within their own Minecraft infrastructure. BungeePerms supports YAML and MySQL storage, allowing a simpler configuration-file approach or a database-backed setup. Its network support is a central strength: permissions can be scoped by server and world, while group inheritance, timed inheritance, temporary permissions, and temporary groups cover changing access requirements across a connected environment.

Administration is primarily command- and configuration-file-driven, so BungeePerms suits operators comfortable working directly with server settings rather than expecting a web-based control panel. The lack of a verified integration catalog or web editor narrows its fit for teams seeking a broader management ecosystem. The official repository is live, while its Releases page currently lists no releases and binary distribution is referenced through an external build repository, making maintenance currency unclear. Choose BungeePerms for centralized, self-hosted permissions across a multi-server network; choose an alternative if visual administration, verified integrations, or clearer release activity is a priority.
