by drethic

What it does

Players who run large modpacks often end up with many keybinds, and this quest book was made to keep questing reachable without adding more of them. It is a quest book add-on for Funwayguy's Better Questing Mod, so the quests themselves come from that base mod. The release notes cover support for Better Questing 3, a minimum required version of 3.5.238 and later 3.5.242, and a fix for dual wielding of quest books.

The book is aimed at people who want a guide that is clear to follow through a modpack. Because the environment is client-side only, servers do not need to install anything, and each player adds it to their own game. Files are published for Forge only, for the single game version 1.12, with 3.1.1 as the latest file, released on 2025-05-30. The release notes also record that support was dropped for an earlier 1.12 build.
