# 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 %}

## Create a rank
Open `contents/betterranks/configs/ranks.yml` file and **copy** and **paste** one of them.\
Then rename it to your rank, also decide a new **.png** file name, for example `custom`.
### Configuration
```yaml
custom:
permission: "ranks.custom"
show_in_gui: true
suggest_in_command: false
path: "custom.png"
scale_ratio: 9
y_position: 8
```
{% hint style="warning" %}
Don't change `scale_ratio` and `y_position`. It would make the ranks look pixelated.
{% endhint %}
### Image
**Copy** one of my ranks **.png** files and edit it from folder `contents/betterranks/textures/`\
\
You can edit it using **Photoshop**, **GIMP**, **Paint.NET** or any other editing software you use.\
For example copy `admin.png`, name it `custom.png` and edit it.
{% hint style="danger" %}
**Don't change the rank image height!**\
**Change only the width or the image will look pixelated!**
{% endhint %}
### Example
For example in order to make a similar rank to my **BetterRanks** addon you just have to use the [Minecraftia ](https://www.dafont.com/andrew-tyler.d2526)font and cut some pixels.
## Using the rank ingame
### Luckperms
#### Creating a group, example (admin)
Use this command `/lp creategroup admin`
#### Add the prefix
Use this command to get the editor: `/lp editor`\
Now click on the link and open the web editor.
Select the role, in this case `admin`.
Write `prefix.100.` followed by the prefix placeholder in the bottom input box, in this example I will use `:admin:`
`prefix.100.:admin:` (make sure you write it correctly).
Press **`+Add`**
As you can see you have a new line in the permissions list, this is the prefix setting.
Now 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://github.com/LoneDev6/Wiki-ItemsAdder/blob/japanese/plugin-usage/adding-content/broken-reference/README.md)
{% 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`
