Set Up the Rank System and Start Random Ranking (Admins)

Ranked SMP is controlled by the server or world administrator. Ranks aren't assigned until an admin configures the system and starts random ranking, which spreads players across ranks 20 to 1.

Before you start

1. Make sure Experimental Settings are on for the world. The addon may not work otherwise.

2. Enable cheats and confirm you have operator permission so you can run commands.

3. Random ranking places players into rank slots, so starting it with a full group gives everyone a fair shot.

Configure and launch

1. Open chat and type / to see the available command suggestions.

2. Find the addon's system adjustment command. This is the admin tool for configuring how the ranking system behaves. Read the options it offers in the suggestions before changing anything.

3. Use the adjustment command to begin random ranking. Each player is then assigned a starting rank at random.

4. Ask players to run the rank information command to confirm they received a rank.

After launch

• Tell your players that ranks change through PvP. Defeating an opponent swaps your rank with theirs.
• If someone joined late or something looks wrong, go back to the system adjustment command to make changes.
• Announce the rules up front, such as where fights are allowed. Rank swaps happen on defeat, so players will go looking for fights.
