Ordinal<\/h3>\n

The lightweight seniority and join order tracking solution for Paper servers<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

***<\/p>\n

**Ordinal** is a lightweight **utility plugin** designed to assign persistent, **sequential join IDs** (Ordinal Ranks) to every player on your server.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

### Features<\/p>\n

Ordinal handles seniority tracking with a focus on these core functions:<\/p>\n

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

### Prerequisites<\/p>\n

To use this plugin, your server must be running **Paper**, **Purpur**, or **Folia** on `1.21` or higher. It requires **Java 21**.<\/p>\n

#### Dependencies<\/p>\n

* PlaceholderAPI<\/p>\n
