    - -spawnelytra.useboost
  
  vip:
    permissions:
    - spawnelytra.use
    - spawnelytra.useboost

Boost-Only Restriction

Allow everyone to fly, but only VIPs can boost:

groups:

Integration with Permission Plugins

LuckPerms

# Grant use permission to a group
/lp group default permission set spawnelytra.use true

# Grant boost permission to VIP
/lp group vip permission set spawnelytra.useboost true

# Grant admin permission to staff
/lp group staff permission set spawnelytra.admin true

PermissionsEx

Permission Checking

The plugin checks permissions at these points:

1. On Activation Attempt

   • Checks spawnelytra.use before allowing flight

2. On Boost Attempt

   • Checks spawnelytra.useboost when player presses F

3. On Command Execution

   • Checks spawnelytra.admin for reload command

Wildcard Permissions

Some permission plugins support wildcards:

# Grant all spawnelytra permissions
spawnelytra.*

Note: This grants all current and future permissions from the plugin.

Permission Inheritance

Most permission plugins support inheritance:

groups:
  player:
    permissions:
    - spawnelytra.use
  
  vip:
    inheritance:
    - player
    permissions:
    - spawnelytra.useboost
  
  admin:
    inheritance:
    - vip
    permissions:
    - spawnelytra.admin

Troubleshooting Permissions

Common Issues

1. Players can't use elytra

   • Check if they have spawnelytra.use

   • Verify they're in the spawn area

   • Ensure they're not in creative mode

2. Boost not working

   • Check spawnelytra.useboost permission

   • Confirm they're already flying

   • Check if boost is on cooldown

3. Commands not working

   • Verify spawnelytra.admin permission

   • Check for typos in permission nodes

   • Ensure permission plugin is working

Debug Commands

Test permissions with your permission plugin:

# LuckPerms
/lp user <player> permission check spawnelytra.use

# PermissionsEx
/pex user <player> check spawnelytra.use

# Vault (generic)
/permissions player <player> has spawnelytra.use

Best Practices

1. Start Simple: Use default permissions initially

2. Test Thoroughly: Check permissions with test accounts

3. Document Changes: Keep track of custom permission setups

4. Use Groups: Manage permissions through groups, not individual players

5. Regular Reviews: Periodically review permission configurations
