EzRanks
A simple, fully configurable rank plugin for Paper 1.21.11 (Java 21+). Ranks show up in chat, the tab list, and above/next to the player's name.
Features
- Create ranks in-game:
/ezranks create <name> - Edit a rank's colour, username colour, bold, and tab weight via one tidy
/ezranks editcommand - Bracket toggle + bracket colour via
/ezranks bracket - Auto default rank — anyone without their own rank automatically gets it
- Colours by name (
red,gold,dark_aqua, plus an extended palette) or any hex code (#ff00aa) - Shows the rank prefix in chat, tab list, and on the nameplate (via scoreboard teams)
- Assign ranks to players, everything saved to
config.yml - Categorised, paginated help; tab-completion everywhere; live previews
Commands
Only server operators (OPs) can create, edit, or assign ranks. Non-OP players
can still view (list, info, help) but get a "only operators" message
on anything that changes ranks. Alias: /ezrank. Run /ezranks help for paginated,
categorised help.
Ranks
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
/ezranks create <&color name> |
Create a rank with inline codes, e.g. &cOwner |
/ezranks rename <rank> <&new name> |
Change a rank's name/colour; moves player assignments over |
/ezranks delete <name> |
Delete a rank |
/ezranks list |
List all ranks (marks the default) |
/ezranks info <name> |
Show a rank's settings + preview |
The colour/format lives right in the name you create: /ezranks create &c&lOwner
makes a bold red rank whose id is Owner. You can use & colour codes, &l bold,
&o italic, hex &#ff00aa, and the MOTD form &x&f&f&0&0&a&a.
rename is how you change a rank later — both its visible name and its colours.
Whoever already had the old rank keeps it under the new name automatically. To only
recolour (keep the same name), rename it to the same word with new codes, e.g.
/ezranks rename Owner &6&lOwner.
