Objectives ListπŸ”—

Action: actionπŸ”—

This objective completes when the player clicks on the given block type. The first argument is the type of the click, it can be right, left or any. Next is a Block Selector or any if you want to count all clicks, even into the air. You can also specify the loc: argument, followed by the standard location format and the range: followed by a number (or variable). The specified location is the center of a sphere, the range it's radius. Therefore, these arguments define where the clicked block needs to be, as opposed to "where you must be" in location condition. If you add the argument cancel, the click will be canceled (chest will not open, button will not be pressed etc.). This objective works great with the location condition and the item in hand condition to further limit the counted clicks. One could make a magic wand using this.

The objective contains one property, location. It's a string formatted like X: 100, Y: 200, Z:300. It does not show the radius.

Example

action right DOOR conditions:holding_key loc:100;200;300;world range:5
action any any conditions:holding_magicWand events:fireSpell #Custom click listener for a wand

Arrow Shooting: arrowπŸ”—

To complete this objective the player needs to shoot the arrow into the target. There are two arguments, location of the target and precision number (radius around location where the arrow must land, should be small). Note that the position of an arrow after hit is on the wall of a full block, which means that shooting not full blocks (like heads) won't give accurate results. Experiment with this objective a bit to make sure you've set the numbers correctly.

Example

arrow 100.5;200.5;300.5;world 1.1 events:reward conditions:correct_player_position

Break or Place Blocks: blockπŸ”—

To complete this objective the player must break or place the specified amount of blocks.

Parameter Syntax Default Value Explanation
Block Type Block Selector The block which must be broken / placed.
Amount Number The amount of blocks to break / place. Less than 0 for breaking and more than 0 for placing blocks.
Safety Check Keyword (noSafety) Safety Check Enabled The Safety Check prevents faking the objective. The progress will be reduced when the player does to opposite of what they are supposed to do. Example: Player must break 10 blocks. They place 10 of their stored blocks. Now the total amount of blocks to break is 20.
Notifications Keyword (notify) Disabled Displays messages to the player each time they progress the objective. Optionally with the notification interval after colon.
Location loc:location Optional. Default: none Adds an optional location to the objective, only counting blocks broken/placed at the specific location.
Region definer region:location Optional. Default: none Adds an optional second location to only count blocks broken/placed in a rectangle between the specified location and this location. This won't have an effect if parameter location isn't set.
ignorecancel Keyword (ignorecancel) Protected blocks will not affect the objective Allows the objective to progress, even if the event is cancelled by the Server. For example if the player is not allowed to build.
objectives:
  breakLogs: "block .*_LOG -16 events:reward notify"
  placeBricks: "block BRICKS 64 events:epicReward notify:5"
  breakIron: "block IRON_ORE -16 noSafety notify events:dailyReward"
Variable Properties

Note that these follow the same rules as the amount argument, meaning that blocks to break are a negative number!

Name Example Output Explanation
amount -6 / 6 Shows the amount of blocks already broken / placed.
left -4 / 4 Shows the amount of blocks that still need to be broken / placed for the objective to be completed.
total -10 / 10 Shows the initial amount of blocks that needed to be broken / placed.

You can use these variables to always get positive values:

Name Example Output Explanation
absoluteAmount 6 Shows the absolute amount of blocks already broken / placed.
absoluteLeft 4 Shows the absolute amount of blocks that still need to be broken / placed for the objective to be completed.
absoluteTotal 10 Shows the initial absolute amount of blocks that needed to be broken / placed.

Breed animals: breedπŸ”—

This objective is completed by breeding animals of specified type. The first argument is the animal type and the second argument is the amount (positive integer).

The player must click on an entity to complete this objective. The first argument is the type of a click. Available values are right, left and any. Second required argument is the mob type. Next is an amount of mobs required to click on. These must be unique, so the player can't simply click twenty times on the same zombie to complete it. There is also an optional name: parameter which specifies what custom name the entity must have (you need to write _ instead of the space character). To check for the real name (e.g. if you renamed players to include their rank) you can also use realname: instead. Add marked: if the clicked entity needs to be marked by the spawn event (see its description for marking explanation). You can also add notify argument to make the objective notify players whenever they click a correct entity, optionally with the notification interval after colon and cancel if the click shouldn't do what it usually does (i.e. left click won't hurt the entity). This can be limited with an optional loc and range attribute to limit within a range of a location.

This objective has three properties: amount, left and total. amount is the amount of entities already interacted with, left is the amount of entities still needed to be interacted with and total is the amount of entities initially required.

Login: loginπŸ”—

To complete this objective the player simply needs to login to the server. If you use global this objective will be also completed directly when a new player joins for the first time. If you use persistent it will be permanent. Don't forget that if you use global and persistent you can still remove the objective explicitly.

Example

login events:welcome_message

Logout: logoutπŸ”—

To complete this objective the player simply needs to leave the server. Keep in mind that running a folder event here will make it run in "persistent" mode, since the player is offline on the next tick.

Example

logout events:delete_objective

Password: passwordπŸ”—

This objective requires the player to write a certain password in chat. All attempts of a player will be hidden from public chat. The password consists of a prefix followed by the actual secret word:

Solution: The Cake is a lie!     
^prefix   ^secret word(s)

The objective's instruction string is defined as follows:

  1. The first argument is the password, use underscore characters (_) instead of spaces. The password is a regular expression.

  2. The prefix can be changed: The default (when no prefix is set) is the translated prefix from the messages.yml config in the user's language.
    Note that every custom prefix is suffixed with :β €, so prefix:Library_password will require the user to enter Library password: myfancypassword.
    To disable the prefix use an empty prefix: declaration, e.g. password myfancypassword prefix: events:success. Be aware of these side effects that come with disabling the prefix:

    • Nothing will be hidden on failure, so tries will be visible in chat and commands will get executed!
    • If a command was used to enter the password, the command will not be canceled on success and thus still be executed!
    • This ensures that even if your password is quest you can still execute the /quest command.
  3. You can also add the ignoreCase argument if you want a password's capitalization to be ignored. This is especially important for regex matching.

  4. If you want to trigger one or more events when the player failed to guess the password you can use the argument fail with a list of events (comma separated). With disabled prefix every command or chat message will trigger these events!

objectives:
  theBetonPassword: "password beton ignoreCase prefix:secret fail:failEvent1,failEvent2 events:message,reward"

Pickup item: pickupπŸ”—

To complete this objective you need to pickup the specified amount of items. The first argument must be the internal name of an item defined in the items section.

This amount is a total amount though, it does not count per each individual item. You can use the notify keyword to display a message each time the player advances the objective, optionally with the notification interval after a colon.

You can also add the notify keyword to display how many items are left to pickup.

This objective has three properties: amount, left and total. amount is the amount of items already picked up, left is the amount of items still needed to pick up and total is the amount of items initially required.

Run a Command: commandπŸ”—

To complete this objective the player must execute a specified command. It can be both an existing or a new, custom command. The first argument is the command text. Use _ in place of spaces for the command. If you need an actual _ in your command, you must escape it using a backslash (\, see example below). The command argument is case-sensitive and also supports using placeholders. The second required argument is a list of events to execute when the objective is met.

Example

command /warp_%player%_farms events:event1,event2
command //replace_oak\_wood events:event1,event2

With this configuration, the command objective requires the player to execute /warp MyName farms to be completed. The command objective matches from the start of the command that was executed, therefore if the player executed /warp MyName farms other arguments it would still be completed.

Optional arguments:

  • ignoreCase: If provided, instructs the objective to ignore case for the command to match.
  • exact: If provided, requires an exact command match, not just the command start.
  • cancel: If provided, the objective will cancel the execution of the command on a match. This needs to be enabled to suppress the Unknown Command message when using custom commands.
  • failEvents: If provided, specifies a list of events to execute if a non-matching command is run and conditions are met.

Complex

command /warp_%player%_farms ignoreCase exact cancel failEvents:failEvent1,failEvent2 events:event1,event2

Warning

Sometimes you want to use actual underscores in your command. These will however be replaced with spaces by default. You can "escape" them using backslashes: One backslash (\) is required when using no quoting at all (...) or single quotes ('...'). Two backslashes are required (\\) when using double quotes ("...").

Examples:
eventName: command /enchant_@s_minecraft:aqua_affinity ➑ eventName:command /enchant_@s_minecraft:aqua\_affinity
eventName: 'command /enchant_@s_minecraft:aqua_affinity' ➑ eventName: 'command /enchant_@s_minecraft:aqua\_affinity'

equip HEAD amazing_helmet events:event1,event2
equip CHEST amazing_armor events:event1,event2

Variable: variableπŸ”—

This objective is different. You cannot complete it, it will also ignore defined events and conditions. You can start it and that's it. While this objective is active though, everything the player types in chat (and matches a special pattern) will become a variable. The pattern is key: value. So if the player types MyFirstVariable: Hello!, it will create a variable called MyFirstVariable, which will resolve as a Hello! string. These are not global variables, you can access them as objective properties. Let's say you defined this objective as CustomVariable in your objectives.yml file. You can access the variable in any conversation, event or condition with %objective.CustomVariable.MyFirstVariable% - and in the case of this example, it will resolve to Hello!. The player can type something else and the variable will change its value. Variables are per-player, so the value of one player's MyFirstVariable will be different from other players' MyFirstVariable values, depending on what they typed in chat. There is no limit to the amount of variables that can be created and assigned to players. To remove this objective, use objective delete event - there is no other way.

You can also use variable event to change variables stored in this objective. There is one optional argument, no-chat. If you use it, the objective won't be modified by what players type in chat which is only useful when you're also using the variable event.

Example

variable
