VanguardRanks

👑 Prestige System

Now, upon reaching the maximum rank on the server, you can reset your rank progress to increase your Prestige level.

• Continuous Journey: Reset back to the first rank (e.g., Rookie) with new goals and accumulated multipliers.
• Simple Commands:
  • /rank prestige — Initiates the prestige process and displays a confirmation message with details.
  • /rank prestige confirm — Confirms and executes the rank reset and prestige level up.
  • /rank prestige <player> [confirm] — Allows administrators to manage the prestige of other players.

📊 Interactive Graphical User Interface (/rank or /rank gui)

The plugin's main GUI has been redesigned to display information about the player's current prestige.

• Prestige Icon: The menu renders your current prestige icon (supporting standard Minecraft materials or custom textured player heads/skins).
• GUI Interaction: You can click directly on the prestige icon in the GUI to initiate the prestige action without having to type commands in chat.

📈 Dynamic Rank Requirements (Scaling)

Rank upgrade requirements can now be dynamically evaluated based on your current prestige level variables!

• Auto-Scaling: Server admins can set rank requirements to scale up depending on the player's prestige (e.g., value: '%math_1000*{prestige_var_check_money}%').
• This establishes a dynamic and balanced economy that automatically adjusts to each player's progress.
