# US-001: Earn progressive spawn access

As a **player**, I want to unlock `/spawn` by defeating major enemies so that my progression earns increasingly convenient access to spawn.

## Acceptance criteria

- [ ] The plugin observes player-attributed kills of the Warden, Ender Dragon, and Wither.
- [ ] Only kills observed while the plugin is operating count; historical statistics and advancements are not imported.
- [ ] The three enemies may be killed in any order.
- [ ] The first unique qualifying kill unlocks `/spawn` with the configured one-kill cooldown, which defaults to 8 hours.
- [ ] The second unique qualifying kill applies the configured two-kill cooldown, which defaults to 4 hours.
- [ ] The third unique qualifying kill applies the configured three-kill cooldown, which defaults to 1 hour.
- [ ] Repeated kills of an already credited enemy do not improve the player's tier.
- [ ] Each newly credited kill displays an on-screen message stating that `/spawn` has been unlocked or updated, is immediately available, and has the shown applicable cooldown.
- [ ] Progress is presented as a checklist in which credited enemies have a green check and uncredited enemies have a red cross.
- [ ] Each newly credited unique kill immediately clears any active `/spawn` cooldown as a progression reward.
- [ ] Progress is associated with the player's UUID and survives server and plugin restarts.
