# Spigot Base Design Log

## 2026-08-09 — Initial progression design

- Base progression is sequential: Base I establishes a base, Base II provides navigation, Base III provides personal teleportation, and Base IV permits visitor teleportation.
- Every secondary progression path requires Base I.
- A base is cylindrical and begins with a 10-block radius and a vertical extent 25 blocks above and below its set Y coordinate.
- Only Survival-mode activity contributes progress; repeatedly placing and breaking blocks is permitted.
- Flight is limited to the base, includes a five-block horizontal warning buffer, and can be toggled by the player.
- Player-facing administration will initially use commands rather than an inventory UI.
- The build and release pipeline will follow the neighboring Trigger Spawn project pattern.

## 2026-08-09 — Implementation started

- Approved implementation begins with the tested Gradle/Spigot foundation, validated configuration, and durable player state.
- Feature work will proceed incrementally using tests before implementation where practical.

## 2026-08-09 — Core implementation checkpoint

- Implemented UUID-keyed YAML state, validated configuration, Base I–IV progression, base sizing, particle navigation, controlled base flight, personal and visitor teleportation, progress feedback, and initial administrative commands.
- Added Gradle, Spigot metadata, Gitea CI/release workflows, and project documentation based on Trigger Spawn.
- Verified the implementation with `./gradlew clean check jar`: 34 tests passed and the plugin JAR was produced successfully.
- User stories remain in progress pending live-server integration verification and completion of runtime administrative configuration editing.
