Custom achievements are created using simple .yml
files, and anyone familiar with Mythic syntax should be able to pick up on how it works pretty quickly!
You are able to define multiple achievements in a single .yml
file.
File Locations
MythicAchievements will load achievements from 2 places:
- The
Achievements
folder in the MythicAchievements plugin directory - Any
Achievements
folder in a Mythic pack (located in the MythicMobs plugin directory)
Inside these folders you can have as many .yml
files as you want, including inside other folders, allowing you to organize it however you want. The plugin will read all the files to load everything.
