About AdvancedRank

Managing ranks with raw permission commands can be clunky and slow.
AdvancedRank makes rank management effortless for server owners and staff.

Built directly on top of
LuckPerms and
Vault, it gives you intuitive commands, clean chat & nametag styling, automatic tablist sorting, and instant economy rank-up rewards — all without touching complex permission node syntax or lagging your server.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Why You'll Love It

  • Easy Rank Commands — Set permanent ranks or timed temporary ranks (like 3d or 1mo) in seconds.
  • One-Click Promote & Demote — Move players up or down your ladder with /rank promote and /rank demote.
  • Rank-Up Cash Rewards — Give players cash rewards when they earn or buy higher ranks via Vault economy.
  • Accident-Proof Rank Deletion — Prevents you from deleting a rank if players are still using it, keeping your permissions clean.
  • Organized Tablist — Automatically organizes the player list by rank priority, so Staff and VIPs stay nicely on top.
  • Nametag Health Indicator — Clean hearts display right beneath player nametags (can be toggled on/off).
  • Modern Colors Everywhere — Use classic color codes (&a, &l), HEX colors (&#rrggbb), or MiniMessage gradients.
  • English & Vietnamese Ready — Comes pre-translated in both English and Vietnamese out of the box.
