Multipass review

Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026

Multipass is an open-source permissions plugin for Nukkit Minecraft Bedrock servers. It is designed for administrators who need to manage individual player permissions, organize players into groups, and apply different permissions across worlds. Prefixes, suffixes, parent-group inheritance, import and export commands, and an API for other plugins extend its role beyond a basic permission list.

Multipass uses a free, open-source pricing model rather than tiered plans. Its core feature set includes individual permissions, permission groups, parent-group inheritance, and world-specific permissions and groups. Administrators can choose YAML, MySQL, or SQLite storage, with MySQL and SQLite available through DbLib. This gives smaller servers a file-based option while also supporting database-backed configurations. Import and export commands can help move permission data between configurations, and the API allows other plugins to connect to the permissions system.

For networks, the multi-server permission auto-update setting is a notable fit because it supports permission changes across multiple servers. The main trade-off is platform scope: Multipass is specialized for Nukkit, so it suits operators committed to that server platform rather than teams managing a broader mix of Minecraft platforms. Configuration is centered on in-game commands and YAML files, with optional database storage, so it is most appropriate for administrators comfortable managing server configuration directly. Choose Multipass for free, open-source permission management on Nukkit; choose another option when cross-platform coverage is a primary requirement.
