Chaos Ranks

Show who’s who, in pixel-art style.

Chaos Ranks adds custom pixel-art rank badges next to player names: in chat, in the tab list and above their heads. Design every badge in-game from a custom menu with a live preview: no config files, no resource packs to send around, no restarts.

OWNER, ADMIN, VIP+, YOUTUBE, BUILDER… whatever ranks your server needs, with your own colors, frames and icons. Built for Fabric 1.21.1.

✨ Features

🏷️ Badges everywhere a name shows up

• Chat: \[BADGE\] Name » message. The vanilla <> brackets are gone.
• Tab list: a compact version of the badge that fits the row perfectly, sorted by rank priority.
• Nametags: the same badge floats above the player’s head.
• Badges are crisp pixel art at any GUI scale, with a subtle 3D shading and drop shadow.

🎨 A real in-game editor

Type /rank and a custom menu opens (not a chest!). On the left is the list of ranks, at the top a big live preview of the badge and how it looks in chat, and below it four tabs:

• Badge: text, bold, priority, and whether it’s the default rank or the OP rank.
• Icon: pick from 144 hand-made pixel icons.
• Colors: background, text, icon and frame (or no frame). Pick from the palette or type any hex color.
• Chat: the player’s name color (any RGB color, not just the 16 vanilla ones), bold name, message color, and a custom separator (», ->, |…) with its own color.

  

🖼️ 144 pixel icons

Crowns, swords, shields, hammers, gems, diamonds, emeralds, creepers, TNT, dragons, hearts, stars, skulls, wizards, ninjas, robots… plus social icons for YouTube, Twitch, Discord, TikTok, Instagram, Twitter/X, Kick, Spotify, GitHub and Reddit. They’re all drawn for the badge size, so they stay sharp.

💬 Chat format per rank

Every rank has its own chat style. Make your owners shine with a bold gold name and yellow text, and keep regular players clean and simple. Colors you choose for the name also apply to the tab list and the nametag.

⚙️ Works out of the box

• Comes with two ranks ready to go: PLAYER, the default for everyone (including new players on their first join), and OP.
• Automatic OP rank: /op player gives them the OP badge instantly, and /deop puts them back to their previous rank.
• Any rank can be marked as default or for OPs from the editor.
• Rename a rank and everybody who had it follows the change automatically.
• Ranks are saved per world in simple JSON files (<world>/chaosranks/).
• English and Spanish translations.

📜 Commands

All commands require operator permissions (level 2).

Which rank a player shows: rank given with /rank give → OP rank (if they’re an operator) → default rank.
