Ranks and Titles (Recruits Addon)
Ranks and Titles, an addon for Recruits, lets a faction rename its member roles and set what each rank may do, such as managing members or claiming land.
What it does
Ranks and Titles extends faction management in the Recruits mod by replacing the default leader and member setup with a rank hierarchy. Faction owners can give roles their own labels, for example Co-Leader, Elder, Duke or Count, while the underlying permission logic stays unchanged. Titles show in the tab player list and the diplomacy tab, so other players can see each member's role.
The addon is a Forge mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 and runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. It requires the Recruits mod, and its delegated leadership tools work without changing the base Recruits code. The current file is 1.1.0, published on 2026-04-10, and the code is closed: the mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Custom rank titles
Each faction can rename its ranks, so a role can read Co-Leader, Elder, Duke or any other label the members prefer.
Granular permissions
Permissions can be set per rank, covering member management, accepting join requests, claiming land and setting diplomacy relations.
Titles in the player list
Role titles appear in the tab player list and the diplomacy tab, so rank is visible to everyone on the server.
Rank management screen
Opening the faction management screen with the U key and then the Ranks panel lets the leader assign Co-Leader, Elder or Member to each member.

Use cases
Delegating faction work

Who it’s for: Server owners and players who run Recruits factions and want a clear rank structure with named roles and per-rank permissions.
