Aetheria Ranks

First public release. Everything below ships in this build.

Progression core

• Rank XP pool fully separate from vanilla experience
• Nine ranks: F, E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, SSS — max level 180
• Quadratic XP curve, configurable through base, linear and quadratic coefficients
• Permanent attribute bonuses per rank, applied as attribute modifiers with fixed IDs so gear, affixes and gems are never affected
• Accepts any attribute registered in the game; unknown IDs are skipped with a log warning instead of crashing
• Three operation types: add_value, add_multiplied_base, add_multiplied_total
• Per-player data saved and restored on login, respawn, death and dimension change

XP sources and anti-farm

• Five mob categories: normal hostile, elite, mini boss, boss, endgame boss — each with its own XP value and entity ID list
• Per-chunk XP caps with progressive decay at 100%, 50%, 25% and 0%, on a configurable reset window
• NoAI mobs grant no XP
• Kills without recent player damage grant no XP, blocking lava, fall and crusher farms
• Spawner mobs grant reduced XP, 25% by default
• Optional rule to ignore renamed mobs
• First kill bonus per boss, tracked per player: 5× for bosses, 2× for mini bosses

Interface

• Rank XP bar on the HUD, colored by current rank, updating in real time
• Bar supports vertical or horizontal orientation, six anchor points, custom size and offsets
• Visibility mode: always on screen, or fading in only when XP is gained
• Rank panel opened with K, remappable under Options and Controls
• Optional rank and level prefix on player names, with a color per rank
• Configurable messages for XP gain, level up, rank up and exhausted chunks
• English and Brazilian Portuguese translations

Items

• Rank Essence: grants one Rank Level, and is not consumed at max level
• Rank XP Elixir: applies a real potion effect with icon and timer, granting +50% Rank XP for 15 minutes
• Using another Elixir refreshes the duration instead of stacking multipliers
• No crafting recipes by default — both are designed as quest rewards and loot

Integrations

• Apothic Attributes and Apotheosis: crit chance, crit damage, life steal, armor pierce and overheal on high ranks by default
• Apotheosis affix mobs and bosses detected through NBT, granting multiplied XP
• Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks: spell power and cooldown reduction on the top rank by default
• All integrations are optional; no hard dependencies

Commands

• Full command set for XP, level and rank, usable with target selectors in command blocks, quest rewards and datapacks
• Info command showing rank, level, progress, total XP, bosses defeated and active boost
• Reload command that re-reads the config and reapplies attributes to online players without a restart
