Metadata Wildcard for fabric-permissions-api

LuckPerms supports wildcard permissions:

lp user <username> permission set luckperms.* true

But lacks wildcard support for metadata:

lp user <username> meta set some.mod.need.metadata.* 69

This fabric-permissions-api addon enables wildcard metadata resolution for any mod using the permissions API.

Synopsis

This mod works like when apply-wildcards= true and apply-sponge-default-subjects= false

Requirement

• Java ⩾ 15
• Minecraft ⩾ 1.16.5
• Fabric
• fabric-permissions-api ⩾ 0.3
• Any permission mod supports fabric-permissions-api (e.g. LuckPerms)

Usage

For players

1. Install the mod in your mod directory
2. Start your game/server once to generate config
3. Edit config/MetadataWildcard4fabric-permissions-api/prefix.txt

Default config:

minecraft.selector

When checking a key like minecraft.selector.foo.bar:

1. First checks for an exact match
2. If not found, checks parent keys with wildcards in descending order:
   • minecraft.selector.foo.*
   • minecraft.selector.*
3. Returns unset if no match is found

For modders

Add dependency in build.gradle:

// Optional dependency (users install manually)
modImplementation("top.qwertycxz:metadatawildcard4fabric-permissions-api:0.0.1")

// OR bundle with your mod
include(modImplementation("top.qwertycxz:metadatawildcard4fabric-permissions-api:0.0.1"))

Runtime Configuration

MetadataWildcard.prefixStrings.add("your.mod.metadata.prefix");

Equivalent to adding your.mod.metadata.prefix in prefix.txt.
