zCollectionsA fully customizable collection system. Gather, discover, climb tiers, earn rewards.
By zArrowTan, part of Arrow Plugins.
Idea by Luxioz. Description by EliteDenizen.
OverviewzCollections gives your players something to chase. They gather resources across mining, farming, hunting, fishing, and lumberjack, discover each resource the first time they gather it, climb through tiers, and earn rewards along the way. Every collection, threshold, and reward is editable, so you can shape the whole system around your server.

Progress That Can't Be CheesedProgress counts player actions, not items obtained. Breaking one wheat with Fortune III is +1 progress, never +5. The plugin only listens to break, kill, and fish-catch events, so it never reads drops or inventory changes, and players can't inflate their collections with luck or loot multipliers.
Discovery & Tiers- First-gather discovery: each resource is discovered the first time a player gathers it
- Configurable tiers: every resource progresses through tiers with thresholds you set
- Clear progression: players can see exactly what they've unlocked and what's next

Tier Rewards- Reward each tier with money, items, console commands, experience, or permissions
- Mix and match per tier for full control over your progression curve
- Players claim earned rewards right from the menu
Claim everything at once with the Claim All button
🛡 Anti-Farming
- Player-placed blocks ignored: blocks a player placed don't count, tracked per chunk and saved across restarts
- Grown-crops-only option: require crops to be fully grown before they count
🗂 More Than Gathering
The starter collections cover gathering, but the menu can hold more. The example server below also runs collections for island levels, playtime, votes, and experience, all sitting alongside the gathering ones.

A Votes collection
An Experience collection
🖥 Clean GUI Menus
Every collection, tier, and reward is browsed through clean, modern GUI menus, so players never need to memorize a command to track their progress.
