Ranks, permissions and prefixes, driven from a window instead of a file.

Everything is a node
Permissions, groups, prefixes, suffixes, meta and weight are the same thing: so each one can carry a context and an expiry.
Five states at a glance
Granted here, denied here, inherited, inherited-denied, unset - with the name of the group it comes from, so nothing is from memory.
A database from the first second
Creates an H2 in MySQL-compatible mode on its own, with every table and index: nothing to install, no query to run.
Prefixes and suffixes included
The rank shows in chat, in the tab list and above the head without a second plugin: there is no separate system just for prefixes.
573 translated keys
Italian and English complete, and every player reads in the language of their own client.

What it is ShadowPermissions
Eleven ranks ready at first boot, coloured and weighted, inheriting from each other. Permissions, groups, prefixes, suffixes and weight are all nodes, so each one can carry a context and an expiry.
Un plugin di permessi si giudica quando qualcosa non funziona. Un grado sparisce, un VIP perde il volo, uno staffer puo' bannare e non dovrebbe.
Instead of
ShadowPermissions covers what you do today with LuckPerms — in one jar, with no dependencies to install first.
How to install it
- Copy the jar into the
pluginsfolder of your Paper server. - Restart. The plugin writes its own configuration.
Supported plugins

None of these has to be installed, except the ones marked required: when it is there, ShadowPermissions uses it; when it is missing, it works all the same.
