Quest Giver
by saphienyako
Quest Giver is a data-driven quest system for Forge and NeoForge, where non-player characters hand out quest lines that players work through.
What it does
Quest Giver adds quest lines to entities and NPCs. Each quest line is built from several quests, and it begins with a root quest that offers the player an accept or decline choice. Once a quest is accepted, its start window lists the task to complete, and when the requirements are met a completion window appears the next time the player interacts with the entity again.
The design is function-based and was used by the Feywild mod, which requires Quest Giver to run. Because the system is data-driven, modders and modpack makers can define quests without changing the mod's code. Quest Giver runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge across four release versions, 1.19.2 – 1.21.1, under the MIT License, and the project is open source.
An older release was built for a specific modpack and is no longer supported. Documentation for the mod is available on its wiki.
