CustomRanks is a lightweight and powerful rank management plugin built for Paper and Spigot 1.21+. Full control over player ranks — chat formatting, tablist prefix/suffix, permissions, and in-game GUI — all with zero external dependencies.

New players automatically get the Member rank on first join. Everything is configurable from ranks.yml. No restart needed for changes — just /rank reload.
