Changelog

v1.8.0

Quests can ask for a typed answer. Repeatable quests can pay a streak bonus and rotate through a pool, and a book can run several currencies side by side. Themes get colors of their own, and a new theme keeps following the theme it was made from. This release covers issues 96 to 103, 105 and 106.

The network protocol changed, so clients and servers both need 1.8.0.

New for players

• The inventory key (E) closes the quest book, like Escape. It does nothing while you type in a text box
• Shaders in the quest screen keep moving while the game is paused
• The book editor no longer crashes when Book settings opens on a field with no suggestion picked
• Recipe views no longer crash with newer JEI builds, which moved the recipe frame texture
• Recipe tree buttons grow to fit their labels, and the valid items grid stays inside the dialog padding
• World chapters with many quests build and pan faster
• In the theme editor, resetting an inherited color or cancelling the picker on one keeps it following the base theme

New for pack makers

• The answer task shows a text box on the task row. answers lists the accepted answers and prompt sets the question. Spaces at the ends do not count. Answers sync to the client with the book, so use it for riddles, not secrets
• The streak reward pays its rewards at every everyth completion in a row of a repeatable quest. A skipped daily or weekly period starts the count over
• repeat.pool groups repeatable quests into a rotation pool, and repeat.active sets how many of them each player, team or server gets at every reset
• The attribute reward is permanent when seconds is 0, the new default. stack picks what a repeat claim does (add, replace or strongest) and max caps the total
• New description blocks: callout draws a tinted box with an icon, title and text for note, tip, warning or danger, and spoiler hides lines under a header that unfolds on click
• APNG files play anywhere the mod loads images: descriptions, hover images, quest icons and line textures
• Quest text takes &#RRGGBB hex colors next to the & color codes
• money.currencies adds named currencies with their own balances, prefix, suffix, color and scope. Money rewards, money tasks, shop entries and hints take a currency field, and the /eq money commands take an optional currency
• auto_finish in book.json finishes a quest with no rewards as soon as it is complete, with no Finish press
• late_join_rewards in server.json lets players who join a party claim the rewards of quests the party finished before they joined
• inventory.menus puts the inventory button on other container screens, by menu type id such as minecraft:crafting, or on all of them with "*"
• A palette key the theme template does not know is now a custom token. Use it as $(name) in the theme's sheets, and add or remove it under Custom colors in the theme editor
• /eq theme new <id> [base] writes an empty palette, so the new theme follows its base until you change a color
• The sublevel condition passes while the player stands on or rides a Sable sub-level, such as a Create Aeronautics airship, with optional name, min_speed, altitude and moving. With Sable installed, standing_on, sky, light, area, height, biome and structure read the ship instead of the ground below. Needs Sable on 1.21.1
• Kinetic blocks from Create addons turn in world chapters through the Create adapter
• The editors have fields for the new tasks, rewards and blocks
