# 🏆 RankedSMP
RankedSMP is a competitive survival plugin for PaperMC (1.21+) that introduces a high-stakes hierarchy system. In this SMP, your rank isn't just a number—it determines your survival, your strength, and your power.
🎭 The Rank System
Every player is assigned a rank from 1 to 20.
- Rank 1 is the King of the server, receiving massive buffs.
- Rank 20 is at the bottom of the hierarchy, fighting to survive.
- Unranked players play vanilla Minecraft until assigned a rank.
⚔️ Rank Stealing (Kill-Swap)
Think you deserve a better rank? Take it by force. If you kill a player with a better (lower number) rank than yours, you swap ranks instantly.
⚡ Progressive Buffs
Your rank dynamically scales your stats. As your rank improves, so do your abilities:
- ❤️ Max Health: Up to 20 extra hearts for Rank 1.
- 🧪 Potion Duration: Up to 2x duration on all potion effects.
- 📈 XP Multiplier: Gain XP up to 3x faster.
- 🎒 Extra Inventory: Ranks 1-10 gain access to a persistent "Extra Inventory" with up to 54 slots (accessible via
/ei).
🔨 Custom Tier: The Hierarchy Hammer
The ultimate weapon for the ultimate ranks.
- 💨 Dash Ability: Right-click to dash forward and close the gap on your enemies.
- ⚖️ The Verdict: Land 4 consecutive smash attacks (from a falling distance) to trigger The Verdict, dealing 2x damage and shattering surrounding blocks.
🥚 The Dragon Egg Locator
Holding the Dragon Egg is a dangerous game. A dynamic BossBar will appear for the holder, displaying the distance and direction (⬆, ↗, ➡) of the nearest player trying to hunt them down.
