Most statistics (ex: Bedwars level, Pit prestige and level, etc) are displayed as pins or patches. Ranks are displayed as small earrings, with shape and color representing specific ranks.
Ranked citizens not only gain the ability to bypass queues or open four-star mystery boxes, they’re also given limited magical ability. Commands such as /fly or /nick aren’t mere commands, they’re full-on spells. By buying a rank, one essentially pays the government to give them magic.
Official information on Hypixel ranks is easy to find, so for the sake of brevity we’ll just be talking about things exclusive to this alternate reality. This list only covers the most well-known and important ranks, not every single one.
