LetterQuest
LetterQuest replaces recipe-based crafting with letters gathered from breaking specific blocks, and players combine those letters into words that open custom items.
What it does
Letters drop when players break particular blocks, so chopping wood yields an O, mining stone yields an S, and breaking cobblestone yields a C. Players collect letters across different biomes and combine them into words, and each word opens a crafted item, including weapons. Because the letters come from varied blocks, the search for materials pushes players to explore more of the world than standard crafting does.
The mod is a NeoForge minigame that needs Geckolib to run. It is client and server, so the server and every player need it. Builds cover 1.21.1 – 1.21.8 across eight release versions, and the latest file is 1.0.0 for 1.21.8, published on 2025-09-08. The code is all rights reserved, and the mod is not open source.

Overpowered weapon combinations
Certain unique letter combinations produce strong custom weapons, letting each player shape their own loadout.
Shared multiplayer collection
Players on a server can pass letters to one another and craft stronger items together.
