About this Mod
⚙️ How It Works
Every second a player is online is tracked.
On first login, the mod imports existing vanilla statistics so players don’t start from zero.
Reaching configured milestones automatically grants ranks.
Rank-ups are broadcast server-wide while progress is silently saved in the background.
No maintenance required once configured.
