Jubilee - Introduction

Jubilee - Seasonal Campaigns

What is Jubilee?

Jubilee is the seasonal campaign layer for Matcha! servers. It gives a network a named season, a visible reward track, weekly objectives, community milestones, catch-up mechanics, and a web/Discord presence that makes the server feel alive for months at a time.

Jubilee is not just a battle pass. It is a server-wide celebration system: players earn progress through the things your server already wants them to do, while staff get a proper campaign console for scheduling chapters, rewards, boosts, announcements, and finale events.

Seasonal Identity

Give each season a name, theme, date range, chapters, art, objectives, and rewards.

Player Progression

Track individual progress through free, supporter, prestige, and challenge paths without hard-coding a single server economy.

Community Goals

Let the whole network contribute to shared milestones like catches, battles, trades, contests, market volume, or boss defeats.

Ops-Ready

Staff can preview, schedule, pause, roll back, and audit seasonal content across a multi-node network.

Core Concepts at a Glance

🎉 Jubilees

A Jubilee is a season: a date-bounded campaign with a theme, chapter schedule, progression rules, and reward catalog.

📖 Chapters

Chapters are weekly or biweekly slices of the season. They unlock new objectives, story beats, boosts, store rotations, and Discord announcements.

✅ Deeds

Deeds are objectives players complete for progress. They can be daily, weekly, seasonal, hidden, server-wide, or tied to another Matcha! mod.

🎟 Favor

Favor is Jubilee’s progression currency. Players earn Favor from deeds, events, catch-up grants, and staff-awarded compensation.

🏵 Garlands

Garlands are reward tracks. A season can have a free garland, supporter garland, challenge garland, or prestige garland.

Quick Example

Step 1: Season Opens

Staff launches Jubilee: Verdant Skies with four chapters, a free reward track, a supporter cosmetic track, and a community berry-harvest goal.

Step 2: Players Earn Favor

Players complete deeds such as catch 30 Grass-type Pokemon, win 5 Frontier battles, complete a Journey questline, or sell items through Bazaar.

Step 3: Rewards Unlock

Favor levels unlock titles, cosmetics, crates, currency, Relic catalysts, and Festival invitations. Treasury handles claim state and safe payouts.

Step 4: Finale

The final chapter triggers a Festival weekend with server boosts, Discord recaps, and a web leaderboard of season highlights.

Why Jubilee?

For Players

Always Something To Do: Daily and weekly deeds create gentle structure without replacing sandbox play.
Visible Progress: A clear track, chapter map, and reward previews make the season feel tangible.
Shared Moments: Community milestones give casual players a way to participate in server-wide wins.
Catch-Up Friendly: Rested progress, bonus deeds, and late-season boosts keep returning players from feeling locked out.

For Server Owners

Retention Loops: Run proper seasonal campaigns without rebuilding quest configs every month.
Cross-Mod Objectives: Pull progress from Journey, Frontier, Bazaar, Relic, Reverie, Outbreaks, and custom events.
Campaign Operations: Preview schedules, test rewards, dry-run announcements, and publish changes safely.
Monetization Boundaries: Supporter tracks can be cosmetic and convenience-focused while leaving gameplay power configurable.

Naming Direction

Jubilee fits the Matcha! naming style: a single evocative noun with ceremony, celebration, and seasonality baked in. It feels closer to Bazaar, Courier, Relic, and Frontier than names like “Season Pass”, “Campaigns”, or “Battle Pass”.

Candidate	Read
Jubilee	Recommended. Celebratory, seasonal, premium, and broad enough for pass tracks plus community milestones.
Revelry	Good energy, but reads more like a party event than a season system.
Pageant	Stylish, but leans cosmetic/contest rather than progression.
Gala	Elegant, but too narrow for long-running campaign mechanics.
