Pioneers | Vanilla Advancement Hall of Fame | Seasons & Leaderboards

» What is Pioneers?
Pioneers turns vanilla Minecraft advancements into a living, permanent record of your server's history. The moment a player becomes the first to enter the Nether, slay the Ender Dragon, or complete any of the 100 tracked milestones, the whole server knows about it — and it's saved forever.
Installing on a server that's been running for years? A single asynchronous scan reads every player's real advancement history and rebuilds the true Hall of Fame — no freeze, no guesswork.
» Features
100 Vanilla Milestones
Covers nearly the entire vanilla advancement tree — story, nether, end, adventure, husbandry. Every milestone maps to a real advancement key and is fully configurable: enable, disable, rename, or add your own.
Live Detection & Dramatic Announcements
The instant someone becomes "the first," the server gets a title, subtitle, sound, chat broadcast, firework, and particle effect at their location.
Retroactive Scan
/pioneers scan reads every player's advancement file asynchronously and reconstructs true history — zero TPS impact.
Hall of Fame GUI
A bordered, paginated, read-only display menu. Nothing can be picked up or moved — it's a showcase, not a container.
Season System
Start a new season and every milestone becomes winnable again — nothing is ever deleted. Manual or automatic time-based rotation.
Leaderboards
Rank players by total firsts. Filter by Current Season, Weekly, Monthly, Yearly, or All Time.
Live Holograms (DecentHolograms, optional)
A monument hologram at every winning location, plus a season countdown and an auto-refreshing leaderboard hologram.
PlaceholderAPI Support (optional)
Pull winner names, dates, and season info into any other plugin.
Fully Configurable
Every message, color, and label lives in config.yml. Uses Adventure/MiniMessage formatting — no legacy color codes.
