What it does

Crafting a Goal Book from a book, a diamond and a gold block gives the player a screen of goals that reads like an advancement list. Goals are split into Basic, Advanced and Endgame difficulties. The mod is meant for players who finish a world and want a reason to keep working toward something, without changing the core progression.

Some goals ask the player to explore, fight bosses, breed animals or collect food, while others call for factories, storage networks, workshops, equipment collections and larger projects. Item requirements count once they have been obtained, so an item stays completed even after it is used or upgraded. Goals based on existing Minecraft statistics, such as distance travelled, blocks mined or raids, use progress the player already has. Clicking a completed goal claims its reward, which can include materials, rare items, trophies and equipment.

The mod is published for NeoForge on 1.21.1 only, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. Optional integrations with Create, Farmer's Delight, Miner's Delight and Rustic Delight add more goal categories when those mods are installed.

Key features

  1. Goal screen

    Right-clicking the book opens a screen filled with goals that can be filtered and read as a list.

  2. Hover requirements

    Holding Shift while hovering a goal shows the exact requirement in full.

  3. Statistic-based goals

    Goals read progress from existing statistics, covering travel, mining, breeding, combat, fishing and trading.

  4. Museum exception

    The Museum goal needs 12 rare exhibits in the inventory at once, and serves as the vanilla endgame goal.

  5. Optional integrations

    Extra goal categories appear for Create, Farmer's Delight, Miner's Delight and Rustic Delight when those mods are installed.
