Permissions
Both local and custom channels allow permission settings. By default, channels do not require any permissions to send or receive messages. If you add a permission check, either for the sender or receiver, the operator level is always required. A permission manager like LuckPerms is necessary to use permission nodes.
- permission_sender - Defines the sender's permission requirements.
permission:Permission node to send messages (default:null)
operator_level:Operator level to send messages (default:0) - permission_receiver - Defines the receiver's permission requirements.
permission:Permission node to receive messages (default:null)
operator_level:Operator level to receive messages (default:0)
Permission Example:
{
"permission_sender": {
"permission": "easychannels.send",
"operator_level": 4
},
"permission_receiver": {
"permission": "easychannels.receive",
"operator_level": 0
}
}

Easy Channels server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.20.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Server lagging with Easy Channels – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Easy Channels consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
