Ordinal

The lightweight seniority and join order tracking solution for Paper servers

---

Ordinal is a lightweight utility plugin designed to assign persistent, sequential join IDs (Ordinal Ranks) to every player on your server.

This plugin is ideal for servers wanting to implement a seniority system to recognize long-time members, display distinct ranks in chat, or simply maintain an organized player database.

Features

Ordinal handles seniority tracking with a focus on these core functions:

• It assigns unique sequential IDs (e.g., #1, #67) based on strict join order.
• It includes a smart migration system that automatically calculates and backfills seniority for existing players based on historical join dates.
• It features native PlaceholderAPI support to display seniority ranks using %ordinal_rank%.
• It supports fully configurable messages using MiniMessage formatting.

Prerequisites

To use this plugin, your server must be running Paper, Purpur, or Folia on 1.21 or higher. It requires Java 21.

Dependencies

• PlaceholderAPI
