Alignment Bar -Factions & Reputation

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.

✨ Features:

Factions

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

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.

🧾 Ranks & Rewards

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.

⚔ Pledging

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)

🎨 HUD & Visuals

Alignment Bar HUD in the top-center of the screen.

Switch factions with ← / →
