Ranked SMP Addon FAQ

Edit the world and turn on Experimental Settings (the Experiments toggles), then reload the world. The addon may not work until those settings are enabled.

An admin uses the system adjustment command to configure the addon, then starts random ranking. Random ranking hands every player a starting rank between 20 and 1.

Rank 1 is the top spot and rank 20 is the bottom. The goal is to climb from the higher numbers toward 1.

Defeat another player. When someone is defeated, the two players swap ranks. To move up, you need to beat players who hold a better rank than yours.

You swap positions with the player who defeated you. If they were ranked below you, you drop to their old rank and they take yours, so a high rank makes you a target.

Use the rank information view command. Check it after fights to confirm a swap happened.

Ranks grant increased health, additional inventory slots, increased experience and longer potion durations. Better ranks give you a bigger advantage.

Configuring the system and starting random ranking are admin tasks, so you need operator permissions with cheats enabled in the world. Regular players should use the rank information command instead.

The addon runs, but there isn't much to do alone. Rank changes come from defeating opponents, so it's designed for an SMP with several players competing over the 20 ranks.

Other addons that also change max health, inventory size, experience or potion durations can overlap with this addon's rank perks. If perks seem wrong, test with those addons disabled.
