If you want to add a chat-rank to an online player you can simply open the Proximity Tag Manager menu. If the player already has a chat-rank it will be replaced with this new one. You can choose any name and set any available mc-colour for the tag.

Q&A

Does it work also on single worlds and Realms? Yes, it does!
Does it need experiments on? Yes, in order to work this pack requires experiments on.
Can anyone change the proximity-distance? Yes! and no… When you first install the addon anyone can change it, but you can edit it so that only people with a certain tag can do that. How? read below!
Wait, so players can't chat at all? Well, not entirely, they can still use commands (if they know about them) such as /me, or /say. Still having long chats that way it's pretty hard… much better come closer!
Where can I get help? just come to visit us on the official discord server!
Does it work with voice? Nope, that's voice proximity, and we are still working on it.

You can also manually change the ranks by adding/removing a tag starting with rank: but it's better using the menu.
