RankForge FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

Is RankForge Open Source?

No. RankForge is Closed Source (Proprietary) software created by NoxlyDev. The core plugin codebase is private and protected. Official compiled .jar binaries are released exclusively and free to download via Modrinth. Despite being closed source, RankForge provides a public Developer API for third-party plugin integrations.

Where can I download RankForge?

Official downloads are distributed exclusively via our Modrinth Project Page.

Which server platforms and versions are supported?

Paper, Purpur, and Folia on Minecraft 1.21+ (including modern 26.* releases), requiring Java 21. Vanilla CraftBukkit or Spigot are not supported due to missing Paper API asynchronous features.

Is Folia supported?

Yes. RankForge automatically detects Folia at boot and routes tasks through Folia’s regionized schedulers, preventing concurrency exceptions.

How do I add or customize tiers?

Modify the tiers: section in plugins/RankForge/config.yml and execute /rankforge reload. See Tiers & Rewards.

How do I perform a Season Reset?

/rankforge save
/rankforge reset all

Always perform a database backup first. The command reset all resets player points to 0 while retaining combat history and claimed tier reward logs so rewards cannot be exploited repeatedly.

Are legacy %tierpvp_*% placeholders supported?

Yes. RankForge registers %rankforge_*% and keeps %tierpvp_*% as an alias with identical outputs. See PlaceholderAPI.

Can RankForge be used across multi-server proxy networks?

Yes. You can connect RankForge to remote database engines such as MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, or MongoDB. See Database.
