JustQuests

A lightweight quest book for NeoForge. No GUI bloat, no heavy dependencies — just quests and a handful of commands. Built as a focused alternative to FTB Quests and HQM for packs that want questing without the weight.

Version 0.1 is command-only. A full in-game GUI is on the way (see the roadmap below). Everything here works right now on NeoForge 1.21.1.

✨ What JustQuests does

Ready to play — comes with a built-in quest progression you can start right away, no setup required.
Lightweight — tiny and fast, with no heavy dependencies.
Persistent progress — your progress is saved across sessions and kept even after death.
No conflicts — being command-based, it stays out of the way of other mods and UI overhauls.

🎮 Commands

Command What it does /quest list List all quests with their description, goal and reward /quest accept <id> Start a quest (with tab completion) /quest progress Show your active quests and how far along you are /quest abandon <id> Drop an active quest (suggests your active ones) /quest reload (OP) reload quest definitions

Quest ids support tab completion — accept suggests every available quest, abandon suggests only the ones you've taken.

📦 Built-in quests

JustQuests ships with a ready-to-play 10-quest progression so you can jump in right away.

Quest Goal Reward First Steps 16 oak logs 4 bread Stone Age 32 cobblestone 16 torches, stone pickaxe Fuel for the Fire 8 coal 32 torches Iron Harvest 5 raw iron iron pickaxe, 8 bread Green Thumb 32 wheat 4 golden carrots, 16 bone meal Monster Hunter 8 rotten flesh + 8 bones + 8 string bow, 32 arrows Shine Bright 3 diamonds 8 XP bottles, golden apple Deep Down 32 cobbled deepslate 8 lanterns, golden apple Hot Stuff 4 blaze rods 8 ender pearls, 4 magma cream Ender Seeker 8 ender pearls 12 obsidian, 2 diamonds

Good to know: objectives track items picked up from the ground — mining blocks, harvesting crops, collecting mob drops. Crafted items go straight into the inventory and do not count toward a goal.

🗺️ Roadmap

JustQuests is built step by step. Planned for upcoming versions:

v0.2 — in-game GUI, more objective types (kill mob, place block, reach location, craft item) and more reward types (XP, commands)
Custom quest creation — make and add your own quests
v0.3 — quest chains and prerequisites
Later — more Minecraft versions, additional loaders (Fabric/Forge), a Paper/Bukkit plugin edition, per-player language display, and an optional automatic quest generator

Feedback shapes the priorities — bug reports and suggestions are very welcome on the issue tracker.
