LegacyRanks
LegacyRanks adds a points-based PvP ranking ladder to a Fabric server, where players climb from E through A+ to S by defeating other players.
What it does
Players earn points by defeating other players and lose points when they die. Each rank threshold and the maximum point total are configurable, so server owners can tune how quickly the ladder moves. Rank changes happen automatically, and player data is stored in JSON files, so progress survives server restarts without a database.
Current rank is shown in the chat prefix, the nametag and the tab list, all colored, so every player sees each other's standing. A top 10 leaderboard sorts ranked players by points. The top three hold permanent bonus effects, Strength, Speed II and Saturation II, that stay as long as they remain on the board, and the rewards refresh about every five seconds. Fabric API is required.
The server must run LegacyRanks, while players may leave it out, since the mod only changes what the server does. Files target 1.21.11 only, with 2.0.0 as the latest Fabric file, published 2026-07-16. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
