The journey menu in game.

Features

  • Journeys in YAML with 14 progress triggers, from first join to advancements and clicks.
  • Every step can define its own icon, slot, text and click actions; menus are fully configurable.
  • Dashboard with player, completion, playtime and retention totals.
  • Validate before you reload; a reload is all-or-nothing and keeps the running configuration if a file is invalid.
  • SQLite out of the box; MariaDB/MySQL for networks. Database work runs off the main thread.
  • Chat content is not stored by default and IP addresses are salted and hashed.

Usage example

One journey step that completes when a player uses a listed command.

yaml
steps:
  visit_spawn:
    order: 1
    title: "Visit Spawn"
    trigger: COMMAND
    target: 1
    match: [spawn, hub]
