TradeWinds Permissions#

Defaults are chosen so a vanilla install plays the intended game with no permissions plugin at all: everything a sailor needs is true, shortcuts that skip the sailing are op, and the real gates (claim rank, claim price) live in config.yml rather than in permissions.

Player permissions#

Permission Description Default
tradewinds.island Allow use of the TradeWinds player command true
tradewinds.island.spawn Allow /tw go — the door into the ocean, and the way home within the rules. From outside it returns the player to the water they left; on their own island it steps them to their home point; anywhere else at sea it tells them the direction and distance home, never a ride. true
tradewinds.island.chart Allow viewing the chart (holograms afloat, list ashore) true
tradewinds.island.starchart Allow receiving the Star Chart map true
tradewinds.island.rank Allow viewing Seafarer rank and the charted-islands top ten true
tradewinds.island.claim Allow claiming a wild islet as a player island. The real gates are in config — Seafarer rank (claims.minimum-rank) and price (claims.price) — so this stays on by default; turn it off to disable claiming outright. true
tradewinds.island.sethome Allow setting a home point on your own island — only while standing inside its protection range (owner or team member). true
tradewinds.island.home Allow teleporting to your home point — only while already standing on your own island, so it is a convenience around the base and never a way home across the sea. true
tradewinds.island.unclaim Allow the owner to give a claimed islet back to the wild. Requires the team to be emptied first; no refund; every block stays as it was left. true
tradewinds.island.fine Allow settling a criminal record at a port. On by default — a player who cannot pay off a reputation has no way back except waiting it out. true
tradewinds.island.restart Allow restarting the trading career (config-capped) true
tradewinds.island.prices Allow the trader's logbook — what ports you have called at were paying, and how long ago. Prices only enter it by visiting a market or buying a harbour report, so this reads a player's own knowledge back to them. true
tradewinds.island.info Allow use of the island info command true
tradewinds.island.settings Allow viewing island settings (editing is rank-gated) true
tradewinds.island.language Allow use of the language command true
tradewinds.island.warp Shortcut: open the warp dialog from anywhere in island waters. Off by default — the intended path is to row to the island border, which offers the dialog automatically. Grant to bypass the sailing. op
tradewinds.island.trade Shortcut: open the market from anywhere in an island's protection range. Off by default — the intended path is to dock and right-click a trader on the plaza. Grant to bypass the walk. op

Admin permissions#

Permission Description Default
tradewinds.admin Allow use of the TradeWinds admin command op
tradewinds.admin.islands Allow listing the nearest trading islands op
tradewinds.admin.tpisland Allow teleporting to trading islands op
tradewinds.admin.boat Inspect a player's boat records — cargo, fuel, last-seen position, whether a hull is actually loaded there — and restore a lost active boat from the database as an item in their pack. op
tradewinds.admin.rank Inspect or set a player's Seafarer rank — stores an adjustment on top of their real charted count, so promotion, demotion and reset all work and the claim gate and leaderboard follow. op
tradewinds.admin.customs Show the customs state at your position (contraband, scan odds, patrol) op
tradewinds.admin.priceaudit Audit price coverage and write the report to price-audit.txt op
tradewinds.admin.warpfail Rig a player's next warp to fail, dropping them into the interstice op
tradewinds.admin.reflag Allow re-applying security-band flags to all islands op
tradewinds.admin.* All TradeWinds admin permissions op
