Better Questing Tweaker (BQTweaker)
by fonnymunkey
Better Questing Tweaker changes a few aspects of BetterQuesting, the Forge quest mod, and adds the ability to embed images and links inside quest descriptions.
What it does
Embeds are written into a quest description as plain text and rendered on the client, so each image or link appears where its text sits in the description. Several embeds can be placed in one description, and the embed text itself is hidden once it is rendered. The mod works by changing how BetterQuesting displays quests on screen rather than altering the saved quest database, which means quest data stays the same and the tweak only affects what a player sees.
Because the mod is client-side only, it has to be installed on the player's client, while the server needs nothing extra. Forge is required, and the mod is built for 1.12.2 only. The source code and issue tracker are public, and the code is under the MIT License, so the project is open source. Some features are still experimental, and the author asks players to report any bugs on GitHub.
Key features
Image embeds in quests
Images can be inserted into quest descriptions at the position of their embed text, giving quest pages a visual element.
Link embeds in quests
Links can be placed inside a quest description the same way, so a quest can point to an outside page at a chosen spot in the text.
Multiple embeds per description
A single quest description can hold more than one image or link, each rendered where its embed text is placed.
Cleaner descriptions
The embed markup is detected and removed from the visible description, so players read the text around the media without the raw tags.

Use cases
Illustrated quest lines
Quest authors can show screenshots or diagrams next to the instructions for a step, instead of describing it in text alone.
Linking to guides
A quest can link to an external wiki page or video at the point where a player needs more detail.
Who it’s for: Quest authors and players on 1.12.2 who use BetterQuesting and want images or links in their quest descriptions. Only the client needs the mod, so players can add it to an existing BetterQuesting pack without changing the server.
