LuckPerms - MT Inventory Weight: Rank-Based Carry Bonuses

LuckPerms - MT Inventory Weight

Running a Minecraft server with a heavy focus on survival, RPG, or adventure gameplay often means juggling inventory restrictions. You want players to feel progression, but you also need a system that rewards ranks and permissions without breaking the game's balance. That is exactly where the server-side add-on LuckPerms - MT Inventory Weight steps in. It bridges the powerful permission system of LuckPerms with the flexible weight mechanics of MT Inventory Weight, allowing you to define exactly how much extra gear a player can carry based on their rank.

What Does This Add-On Do?

At its core, LuckPerms - MT Inventory Weight is a dependency-based bridge. It is not a standalone mod; it requires both MT Inventory Weight and LuckPerms to function, along with the Fabric API. This add-on reads specific LuckPerms meta keys and applies those values to the server-side max weight calculation. Because it is server-side only, there are no client UI elements, keybinds, or HUD changes to worry about. Your players will simply notice that their VIP rank allows them to haul more loot, without any extra mods on their end.

Key Features and Mechanics

The add-on offers three distinct ways to grant carry capacity bonuses, giving you full control over your server's progression curve.

Flat Bonuses

The simplest method is a flat addition to the base weight. Using the meta key `inventoryweight.maxweight.add`, you can grant a static number. For example, setting a value of 50 gives every player in that group an extra 50 units of max weight.

Percentage Bonuses

For a more scalable approach, the `inventoryweight.maxweight.percent` key adds a percentage of the current max weight. A setting of 25 means the player gets a 25% increase on top of their base value.

Multiplier Bonuses

The most powerful option is the `inventoryweight.maxweight.multiplier` key. This multiplies the final result, allowing for exponential growth. A multiplier of 1.5 effectively increases the total capacity by 50%.

Understanding the Formula

The add-on calculates the final value using a clear, predictable formula: `final max weight = (current max weight + add) * (1 + percent / 100) * multiplier` This means the bonuses stack multiplicatively, not just additively. For instance, if a player has a base weight of 100, an add bonus of 50, a percent bonus of 25, and a multiplier of 1.5, the calculation looks like this: (100 + 50) * 1.25 * 1.5 = 281.25. This allows for deep customization where high-tier ranks can feel dramatically more powerful.

Setting Up a Rank Progression

Getting started is straightforward if you are familiar with LuckPerms commands. You simply assign the meta values to your groups. Here is a practical example of a tiered setup: - Default group: `inventoryweight.maxweight.add` set to 0 - VIP group: `inventoryweight.maxweight.add` set to 50, and `inventoryweight.maxweight.percent` set to 10 - Elite group: `inventoryweight.maxweight.add` set to 100, `inventoryweight.maxweight.percent` set to 25, and `inventoryweight.maxweight.multiplier` set to 1.5 This creates a clear incentive for players to earn higher ranks. The commands are simple to execute, and the results are applied instantly to the server-side calculation.

Compatibility and Installation

This add-on is designed for the Fabric loader and is compatible with recent Minecraft versions that support Fabric API. It is essential to verify that your server runs the correct versions of MT Inventory Weight and LuckPerms before installation.

How to Install

The installation process is typical for a server-side mod. First, ensure you have the required dependencies installed: MT Inventory Weight, LuckPerms, and Fabric API. Then, you can download LuckPerms - MT Inventory Weight for Minecraft from a trusted mod repository. Place the downloaded `.jar` file into your server's `mods` folder. Restart the server, and the add-on will load alongside the others. There is no client installation required. For players who want a hassle-free setup, the foxygame.net launcher simplifies the entire process. Its built-in add-on catalog allows you to find and install LuckPerms - MT Inventory Weight with a single click, automatically handling the dependency checks and version compatibility for your server.

Why Use This Add-On?

The primary benefit is the seamless integration of two powerful systems. Instead of writing complex custom code or using clunky scoreboard tricks, you can leverage LuckPerms' robust permission nodes to manage weight limits. This makes it perfect for server networks that already rely on LuckPerms for rank management. The add-on is lightweight, does not impact client performance, and is fully documented for those who want to dive deeper into advanced configurations.

Final Thoughts

LuckPerms - MT Inventory Weight is a niche but incredibly useful tool for server administrators who want to add a layer of RPG-style progression to their gameplay. It is a clean, server-side solution that respects the existing mod ecosystem. By combining flat, percentage, and multiplier bonuses, you have the flexibility to create a balanced and rewarding experience. If you are already using MT Inventory Weight, this add-on is the natural next step to tie your weight system directly into your permission structure.
