Rank System
Rank System gives server owners a datapack that defines fourteen ranks, each with its own colored name, for players to earn or be assigned.
What it does
The datapack expands the world with fourteen ranks, and each rank carries its own display color. The colors are red, light green, orange, dark aqua, yellow and turquoise, among others, so a rank can be recognized at a glance in chat and in the tab list.
Because the ranks ship as a datapack, no mod-specific code runs on the client. Server owners install it on a server that runs one of the supported loaders or a data pack setup, and players join without any installation. The files cover Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and the build for 1.21.11 is the latest on every loader.
The MIT License covers the mod, but the project is not open source. Builds are published for 1.21 – 1.21.11, twelve release versions in total, and the most recent file is dated 2026-10-03.
