Chronicle
Solo quests. Community goals. Shared glory.
Chronicle is a feature-rich quest plugin for Paper servers that brings players together through solo quests, collective community goals, and distributed weekly challenges — all with persistent progress, reward systems, and live leaderboards.
✦ Features
Solo Quests
- Kill mobs, mine blocks, craft items, fish, smelt, trade, breed, and more
- Quest chains — complete quest A before unlocking B
- Daily & weekly resets with configurable rewards
- Streak system — play every day for bonus rewards at day 3, 7, 30+
Community Quests — Collective Goal

- Milestone broadcasts at 50%, 75%, and 90%
- Rewards go to everyone who contributed (configurable minimum %)

⚙ Configuration
All quest types, targets, amounts, rewards, and reset intervals are fully configurable in quests.yml and community_quests.yml. All messages are editable in messages.yml. Database (SQLite or MySQL), Discord webhook, streak rewards, and reminder intervals are set in config.yml.
Open /chronicle quests with several quests visible — mix of completed (green wool) and in-progress (yellow wool). Make sure the Daily / Weekly / Story tabs are visible at the top.
Open /chronicle community with at least one Collective Goal and one Distributed quest active. Both progress bars should be partially filled.
Open /chronicle admin createquest and screenshot the editor GUI with a few fields already filled in (ID, name, type, target visible)
Run /chronicle top in chat with a few fake players already in the database so the leaderboard has content. Shows the three sections: solo quests, community contributions, streaks.
