BlatStageBook
by BlatFan
BlatStageBook adds stage books to Forge 1.20.1, items that hand a player a game stage when used, with the stages set in the config as NBT tags.
What it does
A stage book is a single item that grants a configured stage to whoever uses it. Once a player has received the stage, the NBT tag records it on their player data, which is the same mechanism the Game Stages mod checks when it gates items, recipes and areas. The mod requires Game Stages, and no other dependency is listed.
Stages and the books that grant them are set in the mod's config file, so a pack author can decide which stage each book carries. Because a book is an ordinary item, it can be placed in loot tables, quest rewards, shops or chests, which suits modpack developers who want progression handed out through items as well as advancements.
Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files are published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.20.1, with version 0.1 released on 2024-06-27. The license is the MIT License, and the project is not open source, though an issue tracker is public for bug reports.
Key features
Stage books
A book item grants a configured game stage to the player who uses it, so the stage can be given without a command.
Config-defined stages
The stages each book grants are set in the config file, letting a pack author control progression without editing code.
NBT tag storage
Using a book writes the stage as an NBT tag on the player, where Game Stages can read it when checking locked content.
Modpack use
Books can be placed in loot, quest rewards or shops, which gives pack developers a simple way to distribute stages.
