Chat & Tab Display

Players will have their rank prefix automatically shown:

• Chat: [&cAdmin&7] PlayerName: Hello world!
• Tab list: [&cAdmin&7]PlayerName or [&cAdmin&7] PlayerName if V1.1
• Message color: white (importanttext: true) or gray (false)

(these are just examples for a red colored Admin rank)

All commands use /rank:

You can also use /r, as that is the alias for /rank, for quick and easy use.
