Better Questing Unofficial Tweaker (BQUTweaker)
by fonnymunkey
Better Questing Unofficial Tweaker, or BQUTweaker, is a Forge client-side add-on that changes several parts of the Better Questing Unofficial quest interface.
What it does
Installed on the client, BQUTweaker alters how the quest screens behave and look in Better Questing Unofficial. The quest-line page layout is redesigned, and the quest page layout is redesigned as well. Description and reward panes scroll together as a single pane, so long quest text and its rewards move as one. The mod is published for Forge only, for 1.12.2 only, and its latest file, 1.3.7, dates from 2023-09-02. It is released under the MIT License and is open source.
The mod needs Better Questing Unofficial to be installed, because it modifies that quest system rather than running on its own. Its changes are built from a modified branch of BQTweaker, so they work with Better Questing Unofficial while including newer changes and removing overlapping ones. Because it is client-side only, servers can run without it, and it can be left off the server entirely.
Key features
Quest page redesign
The quest-line and quest pages are laid out differently, with a reworked arrangement of the quest interface.
Single scrolling pane
Description and reward panes scroll together, so the quest text and its rewards share one scrolling area.
Rebindable back key
A back button is added and bound to Backspace by default, and the key can be changed in the controls menu.
Image links in descriptions
Quest descriptions can embed images through image links, working the same way as the original BQTweaker instructions describe.
Corrected quest counting
The view mode no longer bypasses always-hidden quests, and the quest completion counter no longer counts them.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Who it’s for: Players and modpack makers who use Better Questing Unofficial on Forge 1.12.2 and want its quest screens to work differently on the client.
How it compares
Better Questing - Quest Book is a Forge 1.12 client-side mod under All rights reserved and is not open source. HQM Keybind is a Forge mod for 1.7.10 that runs on client and server under the MIT License and is open source, so it is not a 1.12.2 option. Quest Plaques uses Forge for 1.16.5 – 1.18.2 with a client and server environment under a non-commercial license that is not open source. BQUTweaker is limited to 1.12.2 and client-side use, and its MIT License makes its source open.
