# 🏆 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.
