AuraRanks Premium — The Definitive Progression System for Paper 1.21.4+​

Nine tracks. Five grades. One unforgettable aesthetic.

✦ Why AuraRanks Premium?​

Most rank plugins hand you a LuckPerms pipe, a chat prefix, and call it a day. AuraRanks Premium is an experience. Your players don't just earn a rank — they feel it. Every kill, every block, every fish pulls them toward the next tier of a fully animated, fully themed progression ladder that arrives the moment they join your server.

From the forced resource pack on first join to the shimmer sweep on an S-grade icon to the Japanese corner-bracketed tag in the tab list, every pixel is on-brand. One plugin. No shaders. No CMI. No Skript dependencies.

✦ The Aesthetic​

Solo Leveling-inspired grading​

Tiers map to a D → C → B → A → S letter grade scale. Each grade carries its own color identity:

Tiers 4 & 5 feature a 6-frame animated diagonal shimmer that sweeps across opaque pixels only — the effect the Solo Leveling Rank Pack is famous for, built into every S-grade icon in your GUI, the tab list, and chat.

Vegas GUI-inspired interface​

• 

The result is a GUI that feels like a luxury casino loyalty card crossed with a Solo Leveling Hunter Association dossier. Zero vanilla icons anywhere.

---

✦ Nine Tracks, One Vision​

Every player progresses on nine parallel tracks simultaneously. No resets, no prestige gating — just organic growth across every activity your server offers:

Each track has 5 ranks × up to 20 perks = 100 distinct reward slots per track. That's 900 perks total, all admin-toggleable.

---

✦ Perks That Actually Matter​

Every rank unlocks a curated bundle of:

• Permanent potion effects (apply on join, respawn, and world change)
• Stat boosts (speed, damage reduction, luck, attack speed)
• Economy multipliers (drop rates, XP multipliers, ore bonuses)
• Signature abilities (track-specific ultimates at tier 5)
• Passive cosmetics (particle auras, trail effects)

Admins get a fully-interactive /power editor — a paper-driven GUI with green/red toggle dots for every single perk on every single tier. No YAML editing. No restarts. Toggle a perk off for one tier while keeping it on for others. Test and rebalance live.

✦ The Prefix System Your Server Needs​

『S』 Hunter kemgen01: GG everyone

• Japanese corner brackets for the Solo Leveling manhwa signature
• Bold grade letter in the rank's tier color
• Track name in the track's brand color
• Prestige layer stacks cleanly on top (10 prestige tiers included)
• Zero dependencies — no Vault, no LuckPerms, no custom chat plugin

Tab and chat are rendered from a single source of truth (TrackManager.buildTrackPrefix) so they never drift out of sync.

---

✦ Forced Resource Pack (Zero Setup)​

On plugin enable, AuraRanks:

1. Extracts its bundled pack (~90 KB) to the plugin data folder
2. Starts a self-hosted HTTP server on port 40078
3. Computes the SHA-1 and sets it on every joining player
4. Server-enforces the pack (required=true) so nobody can opt out

No external CDN. No Dropbox. No paying for hosting. No player support tickets about "where do I install this." It just works.

Customize the port, hostname, and enforcement flag in config.yml.

---

✦ Immersive Sound Design​

Twelve configurable sound cues layer a AAA audio feel over the GUI:

Every cue is overridable in config.yml via the standard Bukkit Sound enum. MASTER category so players' music & ambient volumes are untouched.
