New challenges from 1.14 to 1.21.6

Proposal of new challenges using updates from Minecraft 1.14 to 1.21.6.

Context

I noticed the various planned tasks about the remodelling of the challenge system in the plugin. As some of them consists of redesigning the challenges themselves, we think this is an opportunity for us to propose an addition of new challenges to the default ones in the plugin.

What we propose

• 7 new tiers with 29 new challenges in total, all covering new blocks, items, and game mechanics from 1.14 to 1.21.6.
• 8 existing challenges improved to take into account additions and changes from the new game versions.
• various small fixes to the challenges.yml file (typo, format consistency)

This configuration is running on our server since July 2025 with only some minor fixes since then.

Credit

Most of the work was made by a staff member of my server: Dedale_Infernal (he asked me to credit him using his MC player name). My only contribution was fixing issues/mistakes and make it work on the server.

@marcbal thank you very much for the contribution of your challenges setup! I am indeed looking at redesigning the challenge system with newer minecraft versions in mind. The idea is to stay true to the original spirit - start with little, explore vanilla mechanics to build something large. But modernize it for Minecraft 26.x. I will definitely take this as inspiration, and try to merge it with our new design. Would be great if you and/or Dedale_Infernal could take a look and give feedback once it's fleshed out! Will likely also setup a testserver somewhere within the next few weeks.
