ProgressiveStages

by EnVyOnMyMind

ProgressiveStages is a NeoForge mod for modpack authors that locks items and content behind stages players earn through progression.

NeoForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.21 – 1.21.11

What it does

Stages are defined in readable TOML files and can represent almost anything, including ages, chapters, skill classes, research topics, quest milestones, boss tiers, dimensions and technologies. Locked items stay out of reach until the matching stage is earned, and a stage can also be lost or made temporary, for example when a player dies while a challenge stage is active.

The mod ships a stage editor that opens in-game, so stages can be created, edited and organized without hand-writing the configuration. Integration with quest, recipe viewer and scripting mods is optional and activates only when the related mod is installed. Scripting uses the KubeJS Java API, and team progression works through FTB Teams. Players and servers run it on client and server, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source, though public source code links exist.

Key features

  1. Simple age progression

    A basic path such as Stone Age, Iron Age and Diamond Age can be built from stages that gate the items of each step.

  2. Independent branches

    Several technology, exploration, farming and magic branches can progress separately and converge later in the pack.

  3. Hidden secret paths

    Secret paths stay hidden until a player meets their prerequisites, and authors decide when a node becomes visible.

  4. Skill trees with costs

    RPG-style skill trees define costs, prerequisites, attributes, rewards and refunds for each node.

  5. Team and server milestones

    Progress can be shared across an FTB team or tracked as a world-wide server milestone.

Use cases

Quest-driven modpacks

Large packs with hundreds of interconnected milestones can gate recipes and items through quest completion.

Temporary challenges

A stage can expire or be removed on death, which suits challenge modes that require a maintained XP level.

Who it’s for: Modpack creators and server owners who want to decide what players can use, craft and reach, and when.

Questions

Which mods does ProgressiveStages need?

It requires a quest mod, a recipe viewer, a team mod, a scripting mod and an overlay mod to run its full feature set. The integrations with quest, recipe viewer and scripting mods activate only when those mods are installed.

Does ProgressiveStages have to be installed on both sides?

Yes. Servers that run it need every player to install it too.
