This means I could make a client-sided add-on that gives you achievements, then tells the server I make in Java you got an achievement. It would then be submitted to the SQL database so it remembers which achievements you got and other people could view them via some method (maybe a .php page, I dunno).
The problem that's come up every time this is suggested though is that it is VERY easy to hack client-sided. Some guy copies and pastes the achievement code into loops and releases it.

Have it on the server? Then you can detect things to do with specific mods or in-game things like kills/bricks placed/whatever.
Servers could still edit the Add-On though...
Azimuth:
you could make it check for every line being the same but that could cause a number of problems, like lag.
Space Guy:
It'd be very easy to edit the verifier thing to send lines from a fake copy of the mod.
If there's no reward for doing the achievements, people cheating it isn't really a problem.

Like for example, "join 500 servers" or "build something with over 250,000 bricks on your own".
Discuss.
