ChallengesPlugin Plus

ChallengesPlugin adds automatic timed challenges to your Minecraft Paper server, creating competitive and engaging gameplay for all players.

At configurable intervals, a new challenge is announced server-wide. The first player to complete the objective wins a reward.

Core Features
Automatic Timed Challenges

• Challenges start automatically at configurable intervals.
• Each challenge has a time limit.
• The first player to complete the objective wins.
• If no one completes it in time, the challenge ends without a winner.
  

Live BossBar Display
A dynamic BossBar appears for all players showing:

• Current challenge objective
• Leading player and progress
• Remaining time
  

The BossBar updates in real time throughout the challenge.

Chat Announcements
The plugin clearly announces:

• When a new challenge begins
• When the challenge reaches halftime
• When a winner is declared
• When the challenge ends without a winner
  

Golden Challenge System
Every configurable number of challenges, a Golden Challenge is triggered.

Golden Challenges feature:

• A fixed objective (for example: Kill 10 Zombies)
• Increased difficulty
• A distinct golden BossBar style
• Enhanced rewards
• Unique announcement formatting
  

This system creates high-stakes competitive moments for your server.

Custom Rewards
All rewards are fully configurable in config.yml.

Example:
rewards:
items:
- "DIAMOND:3"
- "GOLD_INGOT:10"

Golden challenges support a separate reward pool.
