 - **Hunger Level**: the amount of hunger to require when harvesting, or none (_default: none_).
 - **Experience Type**: whether to consume or reward XP points for harvesting (_default: none_).
 - **Show Server Warning**: whether to display a warning when connecting to a server which does not have RightClickHarvest installed, as the mod will not work (_default: true_).
+- **Enable Permissions**: whether to check for permissions before doing anything (_default: false_).
 
 There are also a number of block and item tags available to customise the mod's behaviour, documented [here](https://docs.jamalam.tech/right-click-harvest/tags/).
 
+<h2 align="center">Available Permissions</h2>

+- **Harvest in Radius**: If Configuration has "Enable Permissions" set to `true` player will need the permission `rightclickharvest.radius_harvest` to harvest in radius.

 <h2 align="center">FAQ</h2>
 
 - **Does this work client-side?** No, RightClickHarvest **must** be installed on the server and can **optionally** be installed on the client.
