Collections System

The Collections system in AbyssalDetention tracks every item you gather, craft, and discover during your prison sentence. From common cobblestone to the rarest custom ores, every achievement is recorded and rewarded!

What Are Collections?

Collections are permanent records of your progress in various activities throughout the server. Each time you obtain an item for the first time or reach certain milestones, your collection grows and unlocks exclusive rewards.

Key Features:

• Permanent Progress - Collections never reset and carry over between sessions
• Milestone Rewards - Unlock perks, titles, and items as you progress
• Competitive Leaderboards - Compare your progress with other players
• Collection Trading - Some rewards can be traded with other players
