About F3NPerm
From SpigotMCAllows to use Hotkey F3 + N with permissions
Introduction
If you press F3 + N or use the gamemode switcher (F3 + F4) on a Bukkit server with permissions for /gamemode, but without op, your Minecraft client will not allow you to actually change your gamemode. This is because the minecraft client requires to know that you are a server operator. This plugin was built solely to mitigate that issue.
Usage
Dropping the downloaded jar file in your "plugins" folder should be enough for everything to work. The plugin will attempt to use ProtocolLib if you have it installed, but should work without it as well.
If you don't want everyone with access to "/gamemode" to also have access to those debug hotkeys, you can customize that behavior by setting "enable-permission-check" to "true" in the "config.yml" of this plugin. With this enabled, you should be able to give people the "f3nperm.use" permission to give access to the hotkeys.
