I'm using luckperms v5.5.0 on Minecraft 1.21.5,also getting this same issue

May 27 '25 04:05 Uwimalx

I ended up redownloading the newest version on modrinth instead of the luck perms website and it seemed to work?

https://modrinth.com/plugin/luckperms

I can also confirm LP V5.5.0 causes our Fabric server (Fabric Loader 0.16.14 (1.21.5)) to not start. Roll back to LP V5.4.158 and the server starts as normal.

Slightly Different Error message but same result of the server not starting.

Console Error Message drop down

can confirm this issue. log with only fabric api and LP: https://pastes.dev/n31RdQqwIW

@kijenasa your issue seems to be caused by file permissions. although you should fix that, until this is fixed, LP wont work unless you downgrade to 5.4.158

The issue is introduced by this commit: https://github.com/LuckPerms/LuckPerms/commit/94e7e11183c54039a7027c17390200edaa41d389

registerEarlyListeners is called before enable() so the configuration is not loaded yet

Jun 07 '25 02:06 jblemee

downgrading to LuckPerms-Fabric-5.4.150 worked.
