Dragon Ranks

# Dragon Ranks

Dragon Ranks turns **Ice and Fire dragon hunting into a persistent RPG progression system** for Minecraft Forge servers.

Instead of dragons simply being powerful mobs with valuable loot, every wild Fire, Ice and Lightning Dragon can contribute toward long-term player progression.

Players earn **Dragon Points** based on the stage of the dragon they defeat, climb through seven Dragon Ranks, unlock rewards and combat benefits, specialize through a talent system, build kill streaks, choose elemental affinities and track detailed lifetime dragon-hunting statistics.

DragonRanksBridge is designed especially for **multiplayer server owners** who want Ice and Fire dragons to become a meaningful long-term progression system.

## 🐉 Dragon Progression

DragonRanksBridge provides seven progression ranks:

**Dragon Initiate**  
**Dragon Hunter**  
**Dragon Slayer**  
**Dragon Bane**  
**Dragon Lord**  
**Dragonborn**  
**Dragon God**

Default Dragon Point requirements:

| Rank | Points |
| Dragon Initiate | 300 |
| Dragon Hunter | 1,500 |
| Dragon Slayer | 3,750 |
| Dragon Bane | 7,500 |
| Dragon Lord | 15,000 |
| Dragonborn | 30,000 |
| Dragon God | 60,000 |

Rank thresholds can be configured by the server owner.

## 🎁 Rank Rewards

Rank progression can provide:

- Ice and Fire items
- Dragonbone equipment
- Dragon meals
- Dragon blood
- Dragonsteel
- Summoning Crystals
- Dragon Egg tokens
- XP levels
- configurable custom rewards

Rank rewards are tracked persistently so players cannot repeatedly rank down and rank back up to farm milestone rewards.

Pending rewards are also stored when necessary instead of simply being lost.

Dragon Ranks  tracks:

- Current Dragon Points
- Lifetime Dragon Points

## 🎨 Rank Display

DragonRanksBridge provides player-focused Dragon Rank formatting for supported player display contexts such as chat and the player list.

Examples:

`[Dragon Initiate] PlayerName`

`[Dragon Slayer] PlayerName`

`[♛ Dragon Lord] PlayerName`

`[⚔ DRAGONBORN] PlayerName`
