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.
