Better Chat Ranks 1.21+

In Minecraft Bedrock Edition, chat is more than just a line of text — it’s your server’s heartbeat. Without structure, multiplayer conversations quickly become noisy, unclear, and chaotic. That’s where the Better Chat Ranks Addon comes in. Designed for MCPE players, server admins, and Realm hosts, this addon helps you bring order, identity, and professionalism to your in-game communication.

Whether you want to highlight roles like [Admin], keep your chat clean, or build a respectful player environment, this addon gives you the tools to do it — all from inside the game.

Core Features at a Glance

Before diving into commands and configurations, let’s look at what makes the Better Chat Ranks Addon such a powerful addition to your server toolbox.

This addon gives you:

• Custom rank prefixes like [Admin], [Builder], or [VIP]
• Colored chat names and messages using Minecraft’s formatting codes
• Bracket and text styling: bold, italic, underline
• Multi-rank support with a configurable priority system
• Scoreboard integration to display player levels or stats in chat
• Automatic spam control and forbidden word filters
• An in-game menu system — no file editing required
• Multilingual support (English, Spanish, German, Japanese, and more)

Whether you’re running a competitive SMP or a peaceful roleplay Realm, these features help make your server more readable, engaging, and professional.

Control Chat Like a Server Pro

One of the addon’s biggest strengths is how easily it puts you in charge of your server’s communication. Let’s look at how it works in real-world gameplay.

Assigning and Managing Player Ranks with Tags

You can assign ranks to players using the built-in /tag command. For example:

/tag @s add rank:Admin

This tag will display [Admin] before your name in the chat. You can assign multiple ranks, such as:

/tag @s add rank:Builder

To remove or switch a role, simply use:

/tag @s remove rank:Builder

This system works across MCPE platforms — whether you’re on mobile, Windows, or console — and supports Realms and dedicated servers.

Multi-Rank Display and Priority Order

Players can hold several ranks at once. For example, someone could be both an [Admin] and a [VIP]. You control the order in which those ranks appear using the built-in weight system.

This lets you prioritize functional roles (like staff or mod) over honorary titles or event-based tags.

Spam Control and Auto-Muting

The addon tracks how often each player sends messages. If they spam too fast, it can automatically mute them based on a cooldown you set.

You can customize:

• How many messages are allowed per second
• How long a player gets muted
• Whether they receive a warning first

It’s a hands-free way to keep your chat clean — especially helpful for large servers or public Realms.

Word Filtering and Chat Sanitation

You can create a list of blocked words or phrases. If players use these words repeatedly, the addon can:

• Warn them automatically
• Mute them temporarily
• Skip enforcement for staff if needed (via whitelist)

This helps create a friendly, safe space for all ages.

Reviewing Player Messages with /rank log

Admins can view a built-in message log with:

/rank log

This command opens a simple interface that shows recent player messages — a helpful tool for reviewing incidents, investigating harassment, or spotting inappropriate behavior.

Show Rank with Style

Ranks aren’t just about control — they’re also about identity. The Better Chat Ranks Addon gives you full control over how those roles appear in chat.

• Customize text with bold, italics, and underline
• Choose your own bracket styles: [Admin], <VIP>, ⟦Knight⟧
• Use rich colors for names and messages
• Stack multiple ranks for players with several roles
• Show live stats like player levels or money using scoreboard tags

Example:

/tag @s add score:level

Your players will instantly stand out — whether they’re knights in a medieval RP world or top killers in a PvP arena.

Build Trust Through Clear Roles

Chat organization isn’t just about aesthetics — it fosters trust, clarity, and accountability.

• New players instantly know who the staff are
• Server helpers and mods feel recognized and empowered
• Visible roles reduce confusion during events or emergencies
• Players are more likely to follow rules when authority is clear
• Roleplay servers benefit from immersive character presentation

Whether you’re leading a Realm or running a team-based survival world, visible chat ranks build a stronger community.

Compatibility and Device Support

The Better Chat Ranks Addon works across nearly every Bedrock-compatible platform:

Tips to Maximize the Addon

Use these pro tips to get the most out of your chat system:

• Pair the addon with economy or quest addons for deeper gameplay integration.
• Back up your config settings before updating or editing files.
• Use temporary ranks like [Champion] during minigames or tournaments.
• Review /rank log weekly to stay ahead of issues and adjust moderation.

From automatic moderation to custom role tags, it helps you control your server environment while making players feel seen, respected, and organized.

In a world where every message matters, this addon ensures your server speaks with clarity, consistency, and trust.
