I need help with a Rank Mod
I am trying to create a Minecraft mod that allows players to create and display fake/custom ranks above or next to a player's nametag.
The main goal is to create a GUI where the player can customize the appearance of their fake rank. The GUI should allow the player to:
- Choose a custom name for the rank (for example, "VIP", "MVP+", "Admin", "Owner", or any custom text).
- Choose an item that will be displayed next to the rank. the player should be able to select any Minecraft item from an item list or enter/select the item they want.
- Customize how the rank and item are displayed next to the player's nametag.
- Apply the changes so that the selected rank and item are immediately visible in-game.
- Change or remove the fake rank whenever they want through the GUI.
The final result should look similar to how Minecraft servers display ranks next to or above a player's nametag. For example:
[Item] [FAKE RANK] PlayerName
The rank should be purely visual and should not give the player any actual permissions or abilities. It is only meant to change what is displayed on the player's nametag.
I would also like the GUI to be easy to use and clearly show a preview of what the nametag will look like before applying the changes.
How could I implement this? I would like a complete explanation of the required files, code, GUI, nametag rendering, and how everything should be connected so that the mod works in-game.
