Bounty Craft

by Tyler_

Bounty Craft adds contract bounties to villager trades on Forge 1.20.1, where players accept a task, track it, and claim emeralds, loot or rare books.

ForgeClient and serverMIT License1.20.1

What it does

Bounties are offered through villager trades. A player opens the trade screen, uses the new accept button, and holds up to four contracts at once. Pressing J opens an overlay that shows the active contracts, lets the player select one compass with a distance guide, and claims rewards when a task is finished. Contracts refresh daily with balanced rewards in emeralds, vanilla loot and rare enchanted books.

The mod covers several contract types: kill contracts that hunt scaled mobs from a curated pool, boss hunts against bigger and tougher vanilla bosses with doubled health and size at fixed spots, and structure clears that point the player at the nearest structure, such as an Elder Guardian monument or a pillager outpost. Explore bounties are the default quest type and include modded structures. A Nether bounty type is also included. The lodestone compass gives precise tracking, and progress survives death because it is stored as player capability data.

Bounty Craft is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod. It is released for Forge only, for 1.20.1 alone, with 1.1.6 as the latest file from 2026-08-11. The mod depends on no other library, and its code is under the MIT License, which is not open source.

Key features

  1. Accept and track contracts

    Contracts are accepted from villager trades, held in a small list and followed with a compass and distance guide.

  2. Daily rotation

    New contracts appear each day with rewards scaled to match vanilla pacing, including emeralds, loot and rare books.

  3. Boss and structure hunts

    Boss contracts target larger vanilla bosses at fixed spots, and structure contracts send players to the nearest matching structure.

  4. Death-safe progress

    Progress is saved as player capability data, so it is kept after death, and kills are tagged in NBT so indirect kills count fairly.
