Structuring Your Community

Effective server management relies on a well-defined hierarchy. Using RocketMod’s inheritance system, you can create a structure where “VIPs” inherit basic player commands but gain unique perks, while “Admins” possess the full authority to moderate the environment without redundant configuration.

​
1. The Inheritance Model

We recommend a 4-tier structure in your Permissions.config.xml:
  1. Guest (default): Can use chat and basic commands (e.g., /p).
  2. VIP: Inherits from Guest. Gains /kit, /home, and reduced cooldowns.
  3. Moderator: Inherits from VIP. Gains /kick, /vanish, and /warn.
  4. Admin: Inherits from Moderator. Gains /i (spawn items) and full /rcon.

​
2. Configuring Cooldowns

You can restrict how often specific groups use powerful commands to prevent server “spam”: 
<Permission Cooldown="600">tpa</Permission>
In the example above, a player can only use the Teleport command once every 10 minutes (600 seconds).

​
Parent Groups

By using the <ParentGroup> tag (e.g., <ParentGroup>default</ParentGroup>), you ensure that any permission added to the “default” group is automatically available to all higher ranks, saving you from copying and pasting tpa and home into every group block.
