The base commands do not have a global permission in plugin.yml; each subcommand checks its own permission. This keeps public commands such as status and stats available while protecting administrative actions.

Commands /endlock lock, /endlock unlock, and /endlock status (the subset command surface) also exist on the Fabric and NeoForge mods; the vanilla datapack offers the same three as /function lockend:lock|unlock|status plus /function lockend:set_spawn.

🧩 Permissions

| Permission | Description | Default | | ---------- | ----------- | ------- | | endlock.toggle | Allows locking/unlocking the End | OP | | endlock.admin | Allows locking/unlocking the End, pausing/resuming schedules, and using the test command | OP |
