Setup BetterRanks For Your Minecraft Server (ItemsAdder Addon)

If you’ve ever played in the origin Realms Minecraft server there’s no doubt about it you’ve seen these cool ranks they are very good looking and a lot nicer than just plain text and in this video I’m going to show you how to add them to your own Minecraft server before

We start though do be sure to leave a like press subscribe and without any further Ado let’s Dive Right into this so right off the bat those awesome ranks you saw in origin Realms are an add-on of a plugin called items Adder now items Adder is not a free plugin it is a

Premium plugin and it is actually quite expensive I will leave a link in the description to items Adder spigot page so you can purchase it for yourself if you want to do this but do keep in mind that items Adder is a lot more than just

A plugin that allows you to add cooler ranks it’s a custom items plugin which allows you to add all sorts of stuff from blocks to items to mops emotes gois emojis Wings heads and a lot more small spoiler alerts all the custom items blocks gestures and cosmetics on

Norwegian Realms are also made with items Adder now of course they’re all completely custom made on their server but it seems like they do use items Adder as a base which honestly for custom items is probably the best base you can use now after downloading items Adder you also want to download this

Resource this is the battle ranks resource and this is the resource that’s gonna add these cool ranks to our Minecraft server so these are the ones included with this better rank spec now original Realms is using custom ones that they created and you can also create your own if you’re good with

Stuff like Photoshop and illustrator but these are the ones that are pre-made and we can use right away then you also want to install lone lips lone lips is nothing more than a dependency for items adder and then last but not least protocol lip also a dependency for items

Adder make sure to download it too after that what you want to do is go to your Minecraft server folder and then over here in the plugins folder you want to drop items add better long lip and protocol limb so all of those three jar files you want to drag into your plugins

Folder and then restart your Minecraft server if everything went well you should see something like this indicating that items Adder is now successfully installed after that let’s take a look at better ranks this one we first want to unzip so I’m gonna right click and then choose for extract all

After doing that we will get a better ranks folder open the folder and inside of there you will see another folder called contents now this is the folder we want to copy to our items Adder folder now if you’re running your micro server on your own PC you can simply

Drag this folder into your items Adder folder though because my Minecraft server is hosted at a server hosting company and you can only upload zip files I’m gonna zip the contents folder again so I’m gonna right click and then choose for compress to zip file so now

We got contents.zip so inside of your Minecraft server folder we’re now going for plugins then we’re gonna look for the items that are folder which should now be created and inside of there I’m gonna direct my contents.zip file so what I’m gonna do is I’m simply gonna unarchive it again basically unzipping

It and there we go when we now go into the contents folder you can see there’s now a new folder called better ranks and that’s what we needed so now you want to restart your Minecraft server once more after the server is done restarting we’re gonna execute a command in the

Console before we can actually see the ranks inside of Minecraft we need to start using a resource pack so you simply want to type I a which of course stands for items adder and then zip no spaces nothing at all just I a z then press enter and this will create the

Resource pack so when we now go back to our server files then go to plugins then once again to items Adder you will see there’s now a new folder called outputs inside of that folder there will be a zip file called generated.zip This is the zip file we

Want to start using now if you’re running above public Minecraft server and you want everyone to be able to see these better ranks or any other of your items Adder resources you want to turn this into a server resource pack if you don’t know how to do that I will leave a

Card in the top right corner of the screen to a tutorial where I explain you exactly how to turn a regular resource pack into a server resource pack but for this video I’m just gonna apply it to my local Minecraft so first of all we’re gonna download it then you want to open

Your Minecraft go to options resource packs and then over here click on open pack folder then inside of the folder it opens you want to drag the generated.zip file then back in Minecraft it will probably appear red don’t worry about that it will just work fine so enable it

And then click undone and then when we join Minecraft you will see nothing so the better ranks add-on has been added to the server but we still need to add it to our actual ranks so of course for this video I will assume you’ve already set up ranks on your Minecraft server if

You have not I will leave another card in the top right corner of the screen which will lead you directly to my Luke berms tutorial make sure to set up ranks and after that come back to this video I’ve already set up three ranks on this

Server but now I want to replace this admin text with one of those better ranks so I’m simply gonna type LP editor this will give you a link and you simply want to open it up and now inside the lip Rams editor you want to change your

Prefix so back on the better rank speaking MC page you will see a list of placeholders now these are the placeholders we want to start using so the placeholder for admin is Colin admin column and then the placeholder for helper is Colin helper Colin in the placeholder for Builder is Colin Builder

Colin pretty straightforward so let’s use the admin one Colin admin Colin go back to Luke Burns and over here where you need to specify your prefix you simply want to replace this whole part with the placeholder you want to use in my case Colin admin pollen then don’t

Forget get to put a space at the end like always and there we go the better rank is now successfully added now let’s also do this for VIP so I’m gonna change it to Colin VIP Colin and there we go and then I’m gonna do default as well so

I’m just gonna make a new prefix the weight should be one and then it will be Colin layer Colin there we go so now we got the default rank the VIP Rank and the owner rank all with their respective better rank so now I’m simply gonna click on Save copy the commands that

Look perms provides and then execute that command in game and there we go you can see the changes right here so when we’re now talking chat I’m currently in the owner rank which means I should have the admin prefix I’m gonna type hello and like you can see it works perfectly

Admin casasara says hello now when I type LP user Casa Sora parents sets and now I’m gonna set myself to VIP and I then talk in chat you can see that I now August VIP in front of my name and now we’re also gonna try out the default

Rank which should have player in front of its name let’s try hello again and like you can see it works perfectly now I did forget the space here so this is what happens when you don’t put a space at the end there will be no room between

My rank and my name now if you want to know how to let these battle ranks appear inside of chat inside of your tab list and also as a name tag above your head I would highly recommend watching my prefix tutorial I will also leave it

As a card in the top right corner of the screen so you can check it out for yourself if you’re interested and then that’s gonna be it I really hope you enjoyed watching hopefully I could help you out today if I did do make sure to leave a like also press and subscribe
