Sam's Ranks | Advanced Rank Generator v3.3.0

[!] Plugin:

• NEW: Full Minecraft 26.2 support, animated tag effects render correctly on 26.2's new unified text shader
• NEW: Folia support, the plugin now runs on Folia servers
• NEW: A MiniMessage placeholder output mode (placeholders.output-format: minimessage) for TAB, MiniMessage chat and LuckPerms prefixes that reject legacy color codes
• NEW: Read-only editor access via the samsrank.edit.view permission, view a rank in the editor without editing it

Improvements

• IMPROVED: Placeholders now output the actual glyph directly on every platform (ItemsAdder, Nexo, vanilla), so tags render everywhere, TAB, scoreboard, holograms, not just in chat
• IMPROVED: The ItemsAdder glyph cache now self-heals, newly created ranks resolve without a manual reload

Bug Fixes

• FIX: Fixed tags showing :name: or in TAB and other non-chat places instead of the glyph
• FIX: Fixed "Legacy formatting codes detected in a MiniMessage string" errors (use the new minimessage output mode)
• FIX: Fixed animated effects going dark / not animating on Minecraft 26.2
• FIX: Fixed tags being clipped at the edges, vanishing on chat open/close, or jittering on 26.2
• FIX: Fixed the ItemsAdder example tag texture not appearing after conversion
• FIX: Fixed /samsrank effects crashing on servers without PlaceholderAPI installed
• FIX: Fixed the plugin sometimes reporting an outdated version number after updating

[!] Important After Updating:

• Replace the jar, restart, and regenerate your resource pack. On ItemsAdder/Nexo also run their pack regen (/iazip or /nexo pack).
• If your TAB / chat / prefixes use MiniMessage, set placeholders.output-format: minimessage in config.yml, then /samsrank reload.
