Ranks.
Nothing in MC² is locked, capes included. A rank is just a way to say thanks, and wear it.
What you get.
Shown the way it looks in game. It follows your Minecraft account, on any server.
Everywhere your name is.
Over your head, in the player list, in chat. Next to a server's own ranks, never instead of them.
- Can't be faked. A server can print [GOLD], but not the ★. MC² strips rank marks from anything a server sends.
- Nothing in game. No items, no commands, no advantage. Just the look.
- Yours to keep. If a rank stops being sold, everyone holding it keeps it.
Capes are not a rank.
Every cape, animated ones too, is free for everyone. You never have to pay for anything.
