Challenges¶

Challenges are goals you can complete to earn rewards like currency, items, experience, and even permanent permissions.

Command	Permission	Description
`/is challenges`	`htskyblock.island.challenges`	Open the challenges UI

The challenges UI displays: - Available challenges - Challenge descriptions and requirements - Reward information - Completion status - Progress bars for tracked challenges - Dependency chains (challenges that require other challenges first)

Challenge Types¶

Inventory Challenges¶

Complete by having specific items in your inventory:

Requirement: Collect specific items in specific quantities
Checking: Items must be in your inventory when you attempt to complete
Consumption: Items are consumed (removed) when completing the challenge
Example: "Collect 64 cobblestone" - requires 64 cobblestone in inventory

Item Preparation

Gather all required items before attempting to complete an inventory challenge. Items will be removed from your inventory upon completion.

Island Challenges¶

Complete by placing specific blocks on your island:

Requirement: Place blocks on your island in specific quantities
Checking: The plugin scans your island for placed blocks
Persistence: Blocks must remain placed when you attempt completion
Example: "Build with 100 wooden planks" - requires 100 plank blocks placed on your island

Don't Remove Blocks

For island challenges, keep the required blocks placed until you complete the challenge. Breaking them will prevent completion.

Level Challenges¶

Complete by reaching specific island score thresholds:

Requirement: Achieve a minimum island score
Checking: Your current island score is compared to the requirement
Calculation: Use /is calc to recalculate your island score
Example: "Reach island level 1000" - requires an island score of at least 1000

Score Calculation

Island score is calculated based on the types and quantities of blocks you've placed. Rare and valuable blocks contribute more to your score.

Diminishing Returns: Rewards may decrease on subsequent completions
Unlimited: Some challenges have no completion limit
UI Indicator: Repeatable challenges are marked in the UI

Income Source

Repeatable challenges are excellent sources of ongoing income. Complete them regularly to earn steady currency and items.

Challenge Dependencies¶

Many challenges require completing other challenges first:

Prerequisite Chains: Complete Challenge A before attempting Challenge B
UI Display: Locked challenges show their prerequisites
Progressive Difficulty: Dependencies create a natural progression from easy to hard
Multiple Prerequisites: Some challenges require completing several other challenges first

Dependency Trees

The challenges UI displays dependency relationships. Plan your progression by identifying which challenges unlock others.

Challenge Progression Tips¶

Start Simple: Begin with basic challenges to earn starting currency and items
Read Requirements: Carefully check what each challenge needs before gathering resources
Plan Ahead: Look at challenge chains to see long-term goals
Resource Management: Don't sell items you'll need for upcoming challenges
Island Building: Build strategically to satisfy island block challenges
Score Tracking: Use /is calc regularly to track progress toward level challenges
Inventory Space: Keep inventory space available when completing challenges with item rewards
Repeatable Focus: Prioritize repeatable challenges for sustainable income

Challenge Status¶

Challenges have several states:

Available: Requirements met, ready to complete
In Progress: You've started but haven't met all requirements yet
Locked: Prerequisites not completed yet
Completed: Successfully finished (one-time challenges)
Cooldown: Repeatable challenge completed, waiting for next attempt

Troubleshooting¶

"Prerequisites not met"¶

Complete the required challenges first. Check the challenge UI to see which challenges you need to complete.

"Not enough items in inventory"¶

Gather the required items before attempting completion. Check the challenge description for exact quantities.

"Island score too low"¶

Use /is calc to recalculate your score. Place more valuable blocks on your island to increase your score.

"Challenge on cooldown"¶

Wait for the cooldown period to expire before attempting a repeatable challenge again.

"Not enough inventory space"¶

Clear inventory space before completing challenges that award items.

Challenge Planning

Create a checklist of challenges you want to complete and gather resources in batches. This is more efficient than completing challenges one at a time.
