v1.2 - Ranks, Revamps and Permission Fixes
Released: March 21, 2026

What's New

Ranks System (LuckPerms Integration)

• New /rank command opens a full management GUI - disabled by default, opt-in for servers running LuckPerms
  
  
• Groups tab - browse, create, delete, rename, change prefix/suffix, manage parent groups (inheritance), and edit permission nodes for any LuckPerms group. Default group is pinned to the top. Pagination, search, and filtering built in
  
  
• Players tab - browse all known LuckPerms users, add/remove from groups, view group memberships, and manage individual permission nodes. Default group is protected from removal
  
  
• Chat prefix/suffix - LuckPerms prefixes and suffixes now automatically display in chat. Only the highest-priority prefix is shown (resolved across all groups, inheritance chains, and player-specific overrides)
  
  
• Configurable chat separator - the » between name and message can now be changed to :, >, -, |, or anything else in config.yml under chat.separator
  
  
• Type clear when editing a prefix, suffix, or display name to remove it. Type cancel to keep the old value
  
  
• 25+ granular permissions for every rank management action
  

Scoreboard Revamp

• Animated wave gradient title - the scoreboard header smoothly shifts colors back and forth (configurable colors, speed, and can be disabled)
  
  
• Discord link variable - {discord} and {discord_link} placeholders for scoreboard lines
  
  
• Playtime mode toggle - new default-playtime setting in scoreboard.yml. Choose between total (all-time, the new default) or session (since last login). Dynamic {playtime_display} placeholder follows this setting
  
  
• Fast ping refresh - ping checked every 5 seconds on a separate interval; scoreboard updates instantly when ping changes
  
  
• Updated default design with bold emojis and improved spacing
  

RTP Fix

• /tpr (random teleport) now correctly applies the pre-teleport cooldown countdown. Previously it was instant even with cooldown configured - now it properly waits the configured seconds (default 5s) with movement cancellation and safety checks, just like /home, /warp, and /spawn
  

Home and Baltop GUIs

• Home GUI: team home slot added alongside spawn. Lime-colored beds, light blue dyes for active teleport slots, and proper cooldown integration on all GUI actions
  
  
• Baltop GUI: renamed to "Top Balances", updated formatting
  

Tab List

• Added {tps} and {ping} placeholders for tab header/footer
  
  
• Default footer now shows Players, TPS, and Ping
  
  
• Configurable refresh interval (default 5 seconds, was hardcoded 30s)
  

Permission Fixes

• Removed from default player group (justplugin.player): /back, /kill, /suicide, /enderchest, /anvil, /craft, /playerlist - these now require explicit permission grants
  
  
• /deathitems changed from player-accessible to admin-only (op default)
  
  
• /plugins is now staff-only with justplugin.plugins permission (op default)
  
  
• All changes reflected in updated PERMISSIONS.md hierarchy
  

Config Changes

• New chat.separator setting for customizing the name-to-message separator in chat
  
  
• New ranks section with the rank system config (disabled by default)
  
  
• New default-playtime setting in scoreboard.yml
  
  
• New wave-title settings in scoreboard.yml for the animated title
  
  
• New ping-refresh-interval in scoreboard.yml
  
  
• Config auto-migrates - new settings are added automatically on load
  

Optional Dependencies

• LuckPerms - enables the /rank management GUI and chat prefix/suffix display. Fully optional
  
  
• Vault - use an external economy provider. Fully optional
  

Base Version - Post debugging.
