Change a Player's Scoreboard Value as a Quest Reward

Understanding Scoreboard Rewards

Scoreboard values track player progress, statistics, or custom metrics. You can award points, unlock levels, or increment counters when players complete quests. This is useful for progression systems, leaderboards, or gating content behind achievement thresholds.

Setting Up the Reward

In your quest's reward section, add a scoreboard reward. You'll specify which scoreboard objective to modify and by how much. For example, you might add 10 points to a "level" objective or increment a "quests_completed" counter by 1.

Using Scoreboards for Progression

Once you've set scoreboard rewards, you can create follow-up quests that only unlock when a player reaches a certain score threshold. Combine this with command rewards to trigger special events—like giving players items or running functions—when they hit milestones. This creates a natural progression path and encourages players to complete multiple quests in sequence.
