FTB Utilities Mod — Configuration
Ranks and Permissions
The mod includes a robust rank system that allows server administrators to define specific permissions for different groups of players. This system uses a ranks.json (or ranks.txt in older versions) file located in the server's local/ftbu/ directory.
Permission Nodes
Permissions are defined using nodes. Common nodes include:
| Node | Description |
|---|---|
ftbutilities.claims.max_chunks |
Maximum number of chunks a player can claim. |
ftbutilities.chunkloader.max_chunks |
Maximum number of chunks a player can force-load. |
ftbutilities.homes.max |
Maximum number of homes a player can set. |
ftbutilities.chat.name_format |
Customizes how the player's name appears in chat. |
command.ftbutilities.back |
Permission to use the /back command. |
Rank Conditions
Ranks can be applied automatically based on conditions such as being an OP, being in a specific dimension, or having a certain amount of playtime.
