Bedrock Add (Staff & Partner) Rank Badges

[Hoshi]

Heya everyone! ​

It has been a while since I posted my last suggestion thread; Almost a year, to be exact. After a while of thinking of some QOL changes and other things, I come bearing a thread!

Rank Badges​

The VIP level badges aren’t anything new to Bedrock players. The moment you join, you’ll see them.

There are badges for all 30 VIP levels, in multiple shapes and colours for Bronze

, Silver

, Gold

, Platinum

and Diamond

VIP - and the in between levels. It’s clear and effective.

However, as clearly as these ranks may be shown, it is quite difficult to know whether someone is a staff member or someone with a special rank or not. Players in-game who are in need of a staff members' support, may have a very difficult time identifying them. Besides, don't get me started on - what I assume - must have at least been various reports made because a player seemed to be flying with a VIP level below 30...

There is a simple solution that will help these players in need of support and generally prevent odd situations. That is what I am suggesting right now: To add rank badges to anyone with a special rank, namely staff members, but not limited to (with the new Partner rank, formerly known as YouTube rank). Each staff rank/Partner rank will get their corresponding icon in front of their name above their head, exactly like the role icons on Discord:

Partner

Designer

SrDesigner

Dev

QA

Helper

Mod

SrMod

Admin

Not only will this help players, it will also give staff members and partners the recognition they deserve on the Bedrock network. If you think this might attract unnecessary attention, I'm way ahead of you: Staff members and Partners will always have access to /nick, and the rank itself already brings attention with it anyway, so I don't see how it could make it worse in a way that's not avoidable.

Thank you for reading my suggestion. I'm interested in hearing everyone's thoughts on the matter. Feel free to reply; I don't bite!

Your idea not mine! I just got you some of the icons:D

And yes pls it might help me farm more friend requests

 

[vrobot86]

This could be pretty useful especially if there is a text next to the rank (for example the mod logo with a text that says "Moderator" next to it). Great job on you and wild for coming up with this, im sure others have thought of this too :)

 

[Mustardcellar01]

Nice I'm trying to become a helper :)

 

[wheatyl]

love this idea!

I actually found a screenshot of that conversation again just now and yeah, I did just randomly come up with the idea… ;-; You still get credit though. You’re a cool inspiration source!

Lol

This could be pretty useful especially if there is a text next to the rank (for example the mod logo with a text that says "Moderator" next to it).

That would be pretty cool! Like a smaller text under someone’s username saying their rank or their prefix even, perhaps!

Nice I'm trying to become a helper :)

I wish you the best of luck with your journey! If you set your mind to it, I believe you can achieve it!

 

[RaptexGames]

It's a very good idea and it would be great to implement it!

 

[Priley]

Do you mean when you type in chat it shows your rank? I'm confused because I believe when I was a Designer this was actually a thing.

 

[99th_DutchNubnub]

A very good idea hoshi i like it very much.

This is actually something that might be coming in our huge 1.19 update. As seen on our Notion page showing development progress, you can see there is a spoiler for an "Admin" and "Developer" tag.

I didn’t quite mean the chat tags though, but rather the icons that show above a player’s head in-game.

Oh, I see! That would actually be a decent idea.

 

[Muhh]

I like the idea but I feel the staff tags people will probably only apply for the tag.

I like the idea but I feel the staff tags people will probably only apply for the tag.

Whilst yes, more people might try to apply for any such position simply because of the attention, I need to mention that that is not limited to the icons. Currently, it already shows their rank as their chat prefix and more.

The staff recruitment teams are very well capable of separating someone with only such intention to join the team from someone who actually wishes to be staff to help CubeCraft in any way. Besides, these players applying solely for that reason will likely not meet the standard requirements either way. I doubt it would make a difference in general and mentioning this, I feel like, is really unnecessary. It's a simple badge that shows the difference in role, so people can be quicker to ask for support and to avoid odd situations such as the one I mentioned.

To add onto this, there already exists a Java network equivalent, which is the rank (name) colours in the tab list and in-game, so I genuinely don't see an issue with Bedrock having a similar feature.

Lol, how many requests do you have?
