TheQuestForge
by Noyji
TheQuestForge is a Forge adventure mod that adds a quest system to Minecraft Java Edition, with quest givers placed throughout the world.
What it does
After the mod is installed, quest-giving entities appear across the world and issue quests to players. Quests, rewards and quest givers can be customized and edited through JSON files, and the mod exposes a public API for other mods. Quest chains are supported, which allows a complete storyline to be built from linked tasks.
Quests are defined in data packs, so a pack author can add new quests, tasks and rewards without changing the mod's code. Quest tasks can draw on creatures, objects and structures added by other installed mods. A separate wiki covers the mod's features in detail, and the source code and issue tracker are public.
Files are published for Forge, with 0.0.1 for 1.20.6 as the latest beta. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. The code is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only.

This mod adds a full-fledged quest system to the game! This mod does not add any quests on its own; you need to add the data pack for that!
