Hi everyone,

This update is mainly technical. It enhances general plugin performance and version compatibility (from 1.8 to 1.21.1). As always, it also includes several quality of life improvements and many new features, such as: new task types, enhancements to existing ones, new dedicated plugin item types, a visible progress boss bars limit, direct Vault rewards support, and more! Additionally, it addresses several bugs.

New number formatting options utilizing Java's DecimalFormat and DecimalFormatSymbols have been added. These allow you to configure the desired number format displayed in Quests GUIs, placeholders, and beyond. This feature enhances consistency and readability of number displays across your server.

We’ve also introduced 10 new task types: bucketentity, composting, curing, hatching, itembreaking, itemdamaging, itemmending, resurrecting, trading and customfishing_fishing. The configuration details for these tasks can be found in the wiki.

In addition to these new tasks, there are several fixes and improvements to existing ones, including:

• blockbreak:
  • Added the item option (along with data and exact-match).
  • CoreProtect and PlayerBlockTracker hooks will now prevent task progress from increasing if the check (in the task) is enabled and the required plugin fails to start, preventing potential exploitation.
  • Added the coreprotect-block-lookup-delay option to config.yml to delay CoreProtect hook lookups, which can be used to mitigate the fast break and place bug caused by CoreProtect's asynchronicity delays.
• blockplace:
  • Added the allow-negative-progress option, similar to the one in blockbreak.
• bucketempty, bucketfill:
  • These task types now use an improved item matching system, allowing item, data, and exact-match options usage.
• command:
  • Added the command-match-mode option to specify how commands should be matched. Possible values: EQUALS, STARTS_WITH, ENDS_WITH.
• consume, crafting:
  • The item option is now optional.
• farming:
  • CoreProtect and PlayerBlockTracker options have been added (similar to blockbreak).
  • CoreProtect and PlayerBlockTracker hooks will now prevent task progress from increasing if the check (in the task) is enabled and the required plugin fails to start, preventing potential exploitation.
  • Added the coreprotect-block-lookup-delay option to config.yml to delay CoreProtect hook lookups, which can be used to mitigate the fast break and place bug caused by CoreProtect's asynchronicity delays.
• interact:
  • Added action option (supports lists). Supported values can be found in Spigot API docs.
  • Added hand option (supports lists). Supported values can be found in Spigot API docs.
  • Added use-interacted-block-result option (supports lists). Supported values can be found in Spigot API docs. The option ought to be used only in very specific setups.
  • Added use-item-in-hand-result option (supports lists). Supported values can be found in Spigot API docs. The option ought to be used only in very specific setups.
• inventory:
  • Progress boss bars and action bars will only be displayed when progress changes
• milking:
  • Added the mob option (supports lists), typically used for specifying mobs such as COW or GOAT.
• mobkilling:
  • Added mobkilling-use-wildstacker-hook option to config.yml to disable WildStacker hook.
  • Added the name-match-mode option to specify how mob names should be matched. Possible values: EQUALS, STARTS_WITH, ENDS_WITH.
• playtime:
  • The ignore-afk option now respects the CMI AFK system.
• smithing:
  • The item option is now optional.
  • The mode option is required only for 1.20+ versions.
• citizens_deliver, citizens_interact, servernpc_deliver, servernpc_interact, znpcsplus_deliver, znpcsplus_interact:
  • The npc-id option now supports lists.
• ecobosses_killing, ecomobs_killing:
  • Added the id-match-mode option to specify how mob IDs should be matched. Possible values: EQUALS, STARTS_WITH, ENDS_WITH.
• mythicmobs_killing:
  • Added the name-match-mode option to specify how mob names should be matched. Possible values: EQUALS, STARTS_WITH, ENDS_WITH.

Finally, some other miscellaneous improvements to highlight are:

• Added the cancelstring option (list) to quests, which can be used to specify messages sent to the player when a quest is cancelled.
• Introduced the expirystring option (list) to quests, which can be used to specify messages sent to the player when a quest expires.
• Since cancelcommands already existed, we've added expirycommands for consistency.
• Added the vaultreward option to simplify the creation of quest packs compatible with multiple economy plugins.

The update also provisionally reinstates support for older Java versions via a downgrader. Plugin JARs are now provided in different versions. For example, ! Quests-JDK21 or Quests-3.15.1-84eae15.jar is the recommended JAR for Java 21+ (hence JDK21 and no downgraded in the name). Other downloads contain Quests builds for older Java versions, automatically downgraded. Please note that the quality of the downgrader's output may vary, though it is generally stable. Avoid using these older versions unless absolutely necessary. Some of the older versions may require additional flags in the startup command (for example --add-opens=java.base/java.text=ALL-UNNAMED just after java in Java 17 builds).

Hello everyone,

This update adds a bunch of new features including: new task types and improvements to existing ones, support for the experimental Folia, a new quest item type, bossbar / actionbar support, and several bug fixes.

Provisional support for the Folia project has been implemented. Folia is a fork of Paper which adds "regionized multithreading" to the server; Quests should now be able to make use of this new multithreading system.

A new BossBar and ActionBar system as been added, which will allow you to display task progress and progression through both these methods. This can improve player experience by not requiring them to open the quests menu to see how close they are to completing a task. This system uses a new set of placeholders called "progress placeholders", whose purpose is to represent the progress for each task. For now, these must be manually set per quest, but in the future there are plans to automatically provide template strings for each task type, removing the need for manual configuration.

There are 9 new task types: blockitemdropping, projectilelaunching, pyrofishingpro_fishing, ecomobs_killing, znpcsplus_interact, znpcsplus_deliver, servernpc_interact, servernpc_deliver, and pinataparty_hit. The configuration for these tasks can be found on the wiki. In addition to new tasks, there are some fixes and improvements to exiting ones, such as: async support for placeholderapi_evaluate task type, better support for smithing task type, farming and position task type reworks, better mode detection in walking task type, and more.

Finally, some other miscellaneous improvements to highlight are: a new ItemsAdder quest item, time-limit placeholder, addition of "cancelcommands" option in quests, support for namespaced sounds, an improvement error messages, support for '_' and '-' in quest and task IDs, PlaceholderAPI support for GUI titles and fixes, and per-menu GUI trimming options. For a full list of changes, please review the commit log below.

A special thanks to the following people on GitHub for their contributions, they have made up the bulk of this update and without them then these changes would not have happened: Krakenied, Elikill58, NahuLD, svaningelgem, and AfkF24.

Hi everybody,

This update has a whole lot of bug fixes and technical improvements. To list a few, the Essentials task type breaking on certain versions has been fixed, the breeding task has been improved for server running 1.10+, the walking task now works properly for vehicles, and there have been various performance optimisations made.

Additionally, this update adds a few new task types: replenishing, playerpoints_earn (for the plugin PlayerPoints), and ecobosses_killing (for the plugin EcoBosses). There are also new options for several other task types: blockbreak can now query PlayerBlockTracker (an alternative to CoreProtect), shearing can now be used on entities other than sheep and can be restricted to specific colours, and most tasks which require an item has a new 'exact-match' option.

Finally, the Quests wiki has a new home at https://quests.leonardobishop.com, and documentation is now distributed with the source code. Previously undocumented task types (such as blockshearing and smithing) have now been properly documented, among other missing options.

A special thanks to @Krakenied on GitHub for the majority of these changes! And apologies for my own absence, as usual I am busy at university; however, I have quite a bit of time now over summer to set aside for Quests, so updates and support should be a bit more regular.

(P.S. For those asking, Quests is already compatible with Minecraft version 1.20.x)

This update adds a new smithing task type and fixes a couple of bugs. ShopGUI+ has been updated to their new API so please make sure ShopGUI+ is up-to-date before downloading this. Also, CoreProtect checks have been moved off the main thread to stop locking, however this may result in longer times for block breaks to count towards quests. Also, a bug concerning allow-partial-completion for inventory tasks has been fixed.

This update fixes a couple of bugs where the reverse-if-broken would not work properly for the blockplace task, and where the position task would incorrectly require an invalid option.
