Achievements

Players can gain rewards for TARDIS achievements. The achievement system is mostly automatic, and works in conjunction with TARDIS books. If using a Spout enabled server/client combination, then an actual Minecraft achievement popup is used :)

Players can get the following achievements.

• tardis — awarded when they create their TARDIS
• travel — awarded for travelling the configured distance in their TARDIS (Note: only distances travelled from point A to point B in the same world count towards this achievement)
• rooms — awarded after growing one of each enabled room type
• farm — awarded after farming one of each mob type
• energy — awarded for overcharging the Artron Energy Capacitor by the configured amount
• friends — awarded for adding the configured amount of companions
• kill — awarded for killing a charged creeper

Players can list achievements with the /tardisbook list command. This shows the name of the achievement/book and the reward type and amount.

Customising achievements

You can edit the plugins/TARDIS/achievements.yml file to change the attributes of each achievement. An achievement looks like this:

rooms:
  name: Room freak
  description: Grow all room types
  required: 1
  reward_type: XP
  reward_amount: 50
  enabled: true
  repeatable: false
  auto: true
  message: Grew a truckload of rooms
  icon: BOOKSHELF

• The achievement (in this example rooms) matches the name of the book the player gets to read about the achievement
• name: is used as the title of the book
• description: is not currently used
• required: is the amount of the goal the player needs to gain e.g. for the ‘travel’ achievement this is set to 100000 — the number of blocks they need to travel
• reward_type: what sort of reward to give the player when they reach the achievement goal. This can be:
  • XP
  • An item specified by the Bukkit material enum name
• reward_amount: the amount of the reward type the player gets
• enabled: a true of false value determining whether the achievement is available to players
• repeatable: a true of false value determining whether the achievement can be repeated
• auto: if true the player does not have to manually initiate the start of the achievement with the /tardisbook start command
• message: is the second line of the achievement notification
• icon: is material icon used in the achievement notification
