## How Collection Progress Works
* **Cumulative Tracking**: Progress is saved permanently per player. You **do not** need to store all items at once in a massive chest hall—once an item enters your inventory, it's checked off forever!
* **Fish Catching**: Tropical fish must be captured alive in a **Water Bucket** in survival mode.
* **Chest Contents**: Items stored inside shulker boxes or ender chests aren't scanned until you pick them into your main inventory.
* **Zero-Lag Event Driven**: Does **not** run laggy 20 TPS loops. Progress triggers purely on vanilla inventory and capture events.

* *Excluded:* Bedrock, Barrier, Command Blocks, Spawners, Vaults, Light Blocks, Spawn Eggs, Reinforced Deepslate, etc.
* *Included (Rare but Obtainable):* Dragon Egg, Deepslate Emerald/Coal Ore, Mob Heads, Tall Grass, etc.
