# Ranks / prefixes
{% hint style="warning" %}
**You have to use** [**LuckPerms**](https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/luckperms.28140/) **and** [**TAB**](https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/tab-1-5-1-21-4.57806/) **to follow this tutorial, the method may differ if you're using other permissions and TABs plugins.**
{% endhint %}
%20\(1\)%20\(1\)%20\(1\)%20\(1\)%20\(1\)%20\(1\)%20\(1\)%20\(1\)%20\(1\)%20\(1\)%20\(1\)%20\(1\)%20\(1\).png?alt=media)
Download the example ranks [here](https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/ranks-betterranks-with-custom-textures-for-itemsadder.84852/).
## Create a rank
Create a new file `contents/myranks/config.yml`.
```yaml
font_images:
admin:
permission: "ranks"
show_in_gui: true
suggest_in_command: false
path: "font/admin.png"
scale_ratio: 9
y_position: 8
```
{% hint style="warning" %}
Don't change the PNG image height (keep it 8px), do not change `scale_ratio` and `y_position`.\
It would make the ranks look pixelated.
{% endhint %}
### Official tool to create custom ranks
{% embed url="" %}
Put the image into `contents/myranks/textures/font/admin.png`.
#### Create a group (for example `admin`)
Command `/lp creategroup admin`
#### Add the prefix
Open the editor `/lp editor`.
Click on the link and open the web editor.\
Select the role. In this case `admin`.
Add a new permission:`prefix.100.:admin:` . Change `:admin:` based on your rank name.
Press **`+Add`**
You now have a new line in the permissions list, this is the prefix setting.
Save your changes.
#### Assign the group to a player
Use this command (change `LoneDev` to your player name) `/lp user LoneDev group add admin`
## TAB plugin
{% hint style="warning" %}
Make sure you installed [PlaceholderAPI](https://modrinth.com/plugin/placeholderapi)
{% endhint %}
#### Editing the config.yml of TAB plugin
**Add** this under the `groups` category or edit it if already exists.\
(You have to use `%img_admin%` instead of `:admin:` because **TAB** recognized only **PlaceholderAPI** placeholders and not **ItemsAdder** placeholders. This can be valid also for **other plugins**)
```yaml
Admin:
tabprefix: '%img_admin% '
tagprefix: '%img_admin% '
```
Then use the command `/tab reload`.
