# Ranks

LilacMC’s ranks reward players with perks for playing on the server and this is achieved by participating in the economy. Essentially, you can use the money you have earned to purchase ranks in-game to get things like more homes, the ability to <mark style="color:purple;">start towns</mark>, <mark style="color:orange;">more job slots</mark>, etc.&#x20;

You also gain access to cosmetics such as the <mark style="color:yellow;">**/nick**</mark> command, which changes your display name on the server, as well as the tag for your rank in chat, with the **/tags** command. Higher ranks also offer utility commands like **/ec, /craft, /back, /pv, and many others**.&#x20;

You can view LilacMC’s rank progression using the <mark style="color:green;">**/ranks**</mark> command. The green blocks are what ranks you have previously earned, the yellow block is the next rank, and the red blocks are locked until you get the rank in the yellow block.
