Vault is a Permissions, Chat, & Economy API to give plugins easy hooks into these systems without needing to hook or depend on each individual plugin themselves. It was born out of a distaste for how both Register and the current Permissions API are run, and their lack of features or over-complicated implementations. Vault attempts to solve these issues by being intuitive and providing plugins with support for any system that they may use.

Config:

• update-check
  • turns the update checker on/off

Permissions:

• vault.admin
  • allows access to vault info and conversion commands
  • defaults to OP
• vault.update
  • Anyone with this permission will be notified when Vault is out-dated
  • defaults to OP
  • setting to false in permissions.yml will disable version check messages for console

Vault currently Supports:

• Perms: Permissions 3, bPermissions, PEX, GroupManager, PermissionsBukkit, zPermission, SimplyPerms, Privileges, DroxPerms, xPerms
• Econ: iConomy 4,5,6, BOSEconomy 6 & 7, EssentialsEcon, 3Co, MultiCurrency, MineConomy, eWallet, EconXP, CurrencyCore, CraftConomy, AEco, Gringotts
  • Bank support in CraftConomy, CurrencyCore, BOSE & iCo6 only
  • iCo6/CurrencyCore use merged player/bank accounts. It's suggested to use BOSE for full featured banks.
  • iCo6 flatfile has SEVERE bugs, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK
• Chat: mChat, iChat, bPermissions, PEX, P3, DroxPerms
• Other economies/permissions systems may have built-in support for Vault, check with them to be sure.

This plugin utilizes Hidendra's plugin metrics system. the following information is collected and sent to bstats.org unless opted out:

• A unique identifier
• The server's version of Java
• Whether the server is in offline or online mode
• Plugin's version
• Server's version
• OS version/name and architecture
• core count for the CPU
• number of players online
• Metrics version
• Which Chat, Economy, and Permission hook is in use.

Opting out of this service can be done by editing plugins/bstats/config.yml and changing opt-out to true.

Linking Vault

There's a slightly longer/more detailed example on the Vault github page on how you might link to vault in a plugin. See: https://github.com/MilkBowl/VaultAPI

The following 3 methods can be used along with the 3 variables to load both the permission, economy, and chat systems from Vault. Make sure to add depend: [Vault] to your plugin.yml - You don't need to use all 3 if you don't want to in your plugin! If you only want one or two of the three APIs only use those ones you need!

NOTICE: Vault automatically logs what Plugins it found and hooks to, there is no need to display this information in your plugin.

NOTICE: Don't Forget To add softdepend: [Vault] or depend: [Vault] to your plugin.yml
