TiersSystem

Gladiator is an advanced, fully-featured Team and Duel management plugin for Paper/Spigot! Built around a competitive Tier System (S down to F), it empowers players to organize their own teams, manage visual cosmetics (glow), and duel in custom-configured parallel arenas.

Perfect for competitive servers, SMP events, or structured faction-like gameplay where ranks and structured battles are key.

✨ Features

• Tier & Team System: Players are assigned to a Team (Red, Blue, Green, etc.) and a competitive Tier (S, A+, A, B, C, D, F).
• Preassigned Ranks: Configure player ranks automatically by simply adding their Name or UUID into the config.yml. The moment they join the server, their rank is synced!
• Aesthetic RGB GUI (MiniMessage): A beautiful, responsive, and easy-to-use menu system featuring custom Birdflop/MiniMessage gradient text. No more dealing with messy text commands!
• S-Tier Leader Commands: The S Tier isn't just a label. S-Tier leaders get access to the /gladiator gui allowing them to:
  • Manually invite online unassigned players to their team as F tiers.
  • Control glowing cosmetics individually for their specific team members.
• Smart Glow Mechanics: S-Tier leaders passively glow so they stand out in the arena! However, using the built-in GUI, glowing can be mass-toggled on/off/default for anyone.
• Advanced Admin Arena Tracking: Build dynamic parallel duel spawn points directly in-game. With a simple Left-click/Right-click in the Admin GUI Spot Manager, you can safely override or add extra locations for specific Team/Tier matchups.
• Custom Nametags: Players get automatically assigned colored, structured prefixes/nametags displaying their Team and Tier.
• Seamless Duel Logic: Keep inventory/levels on duel death, winner announcements via Titles, and auto-elimination handlers.
