Alignment Bar adds a full faction and reputation system to Minecraft.
Gain or lose reputation with different groups, unlock ranks and rewards, and pledge allegiance to a single faction. Everything is fully configurable through simple JSON files and custom images.
Create unlimited factions in config/alignmentbar/factions/.
Each faction can have:
Name, color, and description
Custom logo (PNG in config/alignmentbar/faction_logos/)
Allies and enemies (by entity ID or name)
Ranks with alignment requirements and rewards
A region (groups factions in the UI)
Reputation changes as you play:
Killing enemies of a faction increases your alignment.
Killing allies or members decreases it.
Relations between factions spread those changes further.
Reputation syncs between server and client automatically.
Define ranks/titles per faction.
Unlock ranks at certain alignment thresholds.
Rewards can be:
Items (given directly to the player)
Commands (server-side, can hook into other mods/datapacks)
Players are promoted with sounds, floating text, and a title popup.
Once a player reaches 100 alignment, they can pledge to a faction.
Pledging:
Locks alignment with that faction at 100
Resets all others to 0
Plays a full pledge animation (flag overlay, horn sound, glow, announcement)
Alignment Bar HUD in the top-center of the screen.
Switch factions with ← / →
Hold TAB to fade the bar out
Automatically shifts down if a boss bar is active
Floating alignment text above mobs when rep changes.
Nametag icons for pledged factions.
Optional alignment above head display for other players.
