Progression-Based Achievement System

Unlike traditional achievement plugins, BetterAchievements uses a progression path.

Players must complete achievements in order.

Example progression:

➡ Join the server

➡ Create an island

➡ Break 10 logs

➡ Break 50 logs

➡ Break 100 logs

➡ Mine 100 cobblestone

➡ Mine 500 cobblestone

➡ Kill 25 pigs

➡ Kill 100 pigs

➡ Harvest 100 wheat

➡ Unlock mob farming

➡ Upgrade your island

➡ Reach endgame

This creates long-term goals and keeps players motivated throughout their entire journey.
