Game Stages
by Darkhax
Game Stages is a Forge library that adds a stage system, letting modpacks and other mods gate content behind named stages a player has been given.
What it does
Stages are named tags attached to players. Other mods and modpack scripts can check whether a player holds a stage before allowing an action, such as crafting a recipe or spawning a mob, and grant or revoke stages as progress is made. The mod supplies the shared bookkeeping and the commands to manage it, without adding gameplay content of its own.
Game Stages is published for Forge only, across 23 release versions 1.11.2 – 1.20.3, with 15.0.2 for 1.20.1 as the latest file. Other mods that require it include Recipe Stages, Mob Stages, Dimension Stages, Ore Stages and Waila Stages. The client and server both need it, and the mod is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 only.
Key features
Named player stages
Each player can hold any number of named stages, which other mods read to decide what content is available.
Stage management commands
Commands grant, revoke and list stages for a player, so server owners can set progress by hand.
Shared API for mods
Other mods can check and change stages through a common interface instead of building their own progress systems.

What the author says
This mod provides a framework for creating progression systems in modpacks. These progression systems are based on stages which are player specific flags used to track their progress. Using other mods and addons you can configure the game to react differently to a player depending on the stages they have unlocked…
