❓ FAQ

Q: How does server age work?
A: Server age starts counting from when the plugin is first enabled. It tracks real-world time, not in-game time.

Q: What's the difference between server age and world age?
A: Server age is real-world time since plugin startup. World age is in-game time (affected by sleep, time commands, etc.).

Q: Can I unlock features early for specific players?
A: Yes! Use /progression unlock <type> <name> <player> to manually unlock for individuals.

Q: Do unlocks persist after restart?
A: Yes! Manual unlocks are saved in unlocks.yml and persist across restarts.

Q: Can I have different rules for different worlds?
A: Yes! Use per-world-overrides in dimension configs to customize per-world.

Q: What happens if I change time values after server start?
A: The plugin will recalculate based on the new values. Locks may unlock immediately if conditions are now met.

Q: Can players bypass locks with commands?
A: Only if they have bypass permissions. Teleport commands are blocked for locked dimensions.

Q: How does the cache system work?
A: Lock states are cached for 60 seconds (configurable) to reduce performance impact. Cache auto-invalidates when advancements are earned.

Q: Can I add custom items or enchantments?
A: Currently supports Elytra, Ender Chest, Totem, and Shulker Box. Enchantments support all vanilla enchants.

Q: Does this work with custom enchantment plugins?
A: Only vanilla enchantments are supported. Custom enchantments from other plugins are not affected.
