What you get

A long-term leveling system that players work toward and claim, instead of levels handed out automatically.

Claim-based levels

XP fills a level up. The player then clicks it in the menu to claim it, confirms, and the rewards run. Nothing is granted behind their back.

How levels work

Three XP sources

Playtime is the steady source, player kills the biggest burst, mob kills the smallest but most repeatable. All three have separate rates.

XP sources

Quest objectives

A level can also demand kills of a given mob, player kills, or an advancement before it can be claimed.

Objectives

Prestige

Claiming the last level wraps the player back to level 1 and adds one to their prestige count.

Prestige

Rewards as commands

Every reward is a list of console commands. Money scales with the level's cost, and milestone levels hand out items.

Rewards

A catalog menu

One 54-slot menu lists every level as a head icon: claimed, ready, in progress or locked.

Quick start

From the jar to a working level ladder.

Install and start. Drop the jar in plugins/ and start the server. A new server stays disabled until AlphaStudio approves it, see Server approval.
Pick your pace. xp-sources in config.yml sets how fast players earn XP. xp-curve in levels.yml sets how much each level costs.
Check the money command. The shipped level reward runs money give {player} {money}, which is CMI's syntax. Change it if your economy plugin uses another command.
Replace the item rewards. The milestone levels hand out vanilla items. Swap them for your own give commands.
Reload. /leveladmin reload applies any edit. No restart needed.

Requirements

Plugin	Required?	Unlocks
None	Always works	XP, levels, objectives, prestige, the menu and rewards.
`PlaceholderAPI`	Optional	Registers `%alphalevels_*%`, see Placeholders.
`CMI`	Optional	Only because the shipped money reward uses CMI's `money give`. Any plugin that provides the command you write there will do.
`Vault`	Optional	Listed as a soft dependency, but the plugin does not call it. Rewards are plain console commands.
