Realm RPG: Quests & Rewards

The modification adds a complete system of repeatable quests, reminiscent of MMORPGs. While exploring the world, you may discover new structures with NPCs inside. Talk to them to receive a procedurally generated task.

Use the Quest Journal (default: J) to view information or activate Quest Tracking (default: K) during task execution for greater convenience.

How to Start a Quest?

• Find a new structure in the overworld with an NPC inside. Talk to them to start a quest. All necessary information will appear in the chat. Most tasks have unique starting and completion phrases from NPCs. Important words are always highlighted in yellow (e.g., required item and its quantity).
• Open the Quest Journal by pressing J (key bindings can be changed). Here you'll see the quest type. Hover over various inscriptions - they may contain useful hints. You can also track your current quest using Quest Tracking by pressing K. Your progress will be displayed on the left side of the screen.
• Complete the task and return to the NPC. Talk to them, and they'll give you a random reward - from emeralds to rarer and more useful items.

More About Quests

• The quest system is JSON-based, allowing players to configure them or add new tasks.
• Full multiplayer compatibility: whoever completes the task first gets the reward.
• The quest is interrupted if the NPC dies, another player completes the task before you, or someone uses the Potion of Oblivion on this NPC.
• When starting or interrupting a quest, you'll receive a notification in the chat in orange or red color within square brackets.
• "One quest at a time" principle - you cannot complete multiple tasks simultaneously to maintain game balance.
• The same NPC never gives identical quests in a row.
• If you don't like the current quest, click the "Refuse" button in the Quest Journal. A notification about progress loss will appear when hovering.
• The Quest Journal also exists as an item that can be crafted from 3 paper and 1 emerald.
• The Potion of Oblivion allows you to skip the current quest and start a new one.
• When hovering over "Return to NPC" text in the Quest Journal, the coordinates of your last meeting will be displayed.
• In the left corner of the Quest Journal book, the number of completed quests is displayed.

Quest Types

Quest types determine the actions a player must perform. There are 8 types available in the game:

• Delivery - collect required items and deliver to NPC (items will be consumed)
• Crafting - craft required items (items remain with you)
• Hunting - kill specified creatures (mob variants are counted)
• Training - deal critical hits to specified creatures
• Fishing - fish with a fishing rod
• Building - place required blocks (breaking blocks of this type reduces progress)
• Destruction - break required blocks (placing blocks of this type reduces progress)
• Tillage - till land with a hoe (trampling reduces progress)

Quest Rarity

Quests come in two rarity types: Common and Rare. Common quests are completed most often, they have good rewards and are usually not difficult. Rare quests are highlighted in purple, they can be more complex or dangerous, but the reward for them is significantly better.

The first three quests from any NPC will always be Common. Further rarity depends on the player's progress in the game. In multiplayer, the probability is calculated for the last player who completed a quest from this NPC.

Configuration and Adding Quests

Configuration Files

The mod adds configuration files for quests in the minecraft/config/realmrpg/quests/ folder

How It Works?

Before entering the world, the game creates JSON configuration files if they're missing. NPCs generate quests based on data from these files. Changes to files apply to subsequent quests after completing the current one.
