Functionality options / stream lining the config

[BenjaminDay]

Hello,
I have been using this plugin for a while and have attempted to make several achievements that are not currently possible.
One example would be counting all broken blocks or all placed blocks, I tried just stacking block names with the | separator but there is around a 1000 letter cap to how many blocks i can add unfortunately (yaml limitation probably). I also wanted to count diamond pickups but the opposite problem arose in that it is a global counter only.
Also would it be possible to have a placeholder for time remaining on PlayedTime achievements? I use this plugin to auto rankup players and displaying this information would be sweet.
Provided there are or will be categories with both global and individual counter options it would be nice to use the existing config formatting to determine if the admin wants the achievement to count globally or individually instead of having them separately listed in the config file with comments. Pictures for reference: https://imgur.com/a/VZQJvDj
I have noticed other users requesting a Tier / grouping system for the achievements any updates on whether or not that will ever happen?
Otherwise I am very impressed with the functionality of the plugin and haven't experienced any crashes or have conflict issues, works with PAPI just fine and I use its placeholders on my scoreboard plugin to show various stats.
Also looking through the console to find an error in the config file isn't always the easiest task, not sure what could be changed there but wanted to point it out.
Kind Regards,
Ben

Hello @BenjaminDay,

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the plugin!

The global counter for categories with subcategories is a tricky one. This has been asked a few times, I think #154 does a decent job at explaining some of the historical context of why some of this was never done. Having individual counters for categories that don't currently support them is covered by #56. Someone seemed keen on helping out at some point, unfortunately I never heard back since.

Regarding placeholders for time remaining, a lot of placeholders are being added by #789, maybe you could add your feature request there? :)
