Better Chat Ranks Addon [2025 Update] – Make Your Chat Pop Without Overdoing It

I installed this addon in Bedrock 1.21 on my realm a couple days ago. Honestly, it’s pretty slick. I just flipped on the Beta APIs, tagged myself as admin with /tag @p add admin, then typed !rank in chat and boom, a GUI popped up allowing me to assign myself and friends different ranks like Moderator or VIP, change name colors, format texts (bold, italic, underline), all without messing with code.

What Stood Out to Me

It’s easy to use. The in-game form lets you add, edit, or clear ranks with a few taps.
You can mess with name and chat colors, even combine them with formatting styles to make your chat feel a bit more alive.
It behaves no lag or glitches when I tried it with a small group.

What Players on the Web Gist About It

Some folks on Reddit were saying they were struggling to find a working chat ranks addon for recent Bedrock updates. One player mentioned they found GeoKiller’s addon and it “works really good”. That matches my experience: it just worked.

A Couple of Rough Edges

A few players on MCPEDL reported occasional hiccups. One user said, after turning on Beta API, using /tag @p add admin and !rank worked for opening the GUI, but a couple others mentioned issues like the interface not appearing or not updating tags.

In Short

If you want something simple that brings chat color, formatting, and rank control to your Bedrock world without diving into heavy setup this does the job. Not flawless, but far from broken. If you want, I can try out another mod like this next just say the word.
