ItemProgressions

A Minecraft Bukkit/Paper plugin to "lock" items and dimensions until a condition is met (realtime, per-player playtime, global/server playtime). While locked, the plugin blocks using/placing/crafting/consuming and can also block entering dimensions. Locked items get a lock lore line; advancements can show progress.

Features

• Lock items and dimensions until realtime, per-player playtime, or global/server playtime criteria are met.
• Block use/place/craft/consume of locked items; optionally allow breaking locked blocks via config.
• Block entering locked dimensions (same logic as items).
• Optional advancement tab with rule + per-item advancements; multiple layout modes (none, columns, square, auto) with dummy nodes for visibility.
• Configurable icons/names/description templates for advancements; ability to disable advancement creation entirely.

How to use

1. Download the jar file and place it in your plugins/ folder.
2. Restart the Server.
3. Edit config.yml (common keys):
   • locks: list of rules; each has items and unlock (type=realtime|perPlayer|global; use at for timestamps or seconds for playtime). Optional per-rule icon and name apply to the rule advancement.
   • allowBreaking: true lets players break locked blocks.
   • disableAdvancementCreation: true skips creating any custom advancements.
   • advancementGridMode: layout for per-item advancements (none, columns, square, auto).
   • itemAdvancements.defaults: description templates and default icon. Placeholders: %name%, %time%, %playtime%, %servertime%.

Config keys (detailed)

• allowBreaking: when true, players may break locked blocks; other lock checks still apply.
• disableAdvancementCreation: when true, the plugin does not register custom advancements.
• advancementGridMode: layout for per-item advancements; choose none (all under rule), columns (fixed-width columns), square (square-ish grid with dummies), or auto (best-fit grid with dummies per row for visibility).
• itemAdvancements.tab: custom tab info; set key, title, description, icon, and background.
• itemAdvancements.defaults: description templates and a fallback icon; placeholders: %name%, %time%, %playtime%, %servertime%.
• locks: list of lock rules:
  • items: material names/patterns (e.g., "DIAMOND_*"). Only item materials are used for per-item advancements; block-only materials are skipped.
  • unlock.type: realtime, perPlayer, or global.
  • unlock.at: ISO-8601 timestamp for realtime locks.
  • unlock.seconds: duration in seconds for perPlayer or global locks.
  • unlock.icon: optional rule-advancement icon (namespaced item id). If empty, defaults to a matched item.
  • unlock.name: optional rule-advancement title. If empty, the item’s translated name is used.
