QuestBook

QuestBook is a quest management mod for Hytale inspired by FTB Quests and Better Questing from Minecraft. Create custom quest lines to guide players through progression, tutorials, or adventures.

Features

• Quest Book UI - Full-screen interface for browsing quests organized into chapters
• Quest Tracker HUD - Persistent on-screen display showing current quest progress (press Q with book in hand to toggle)
• MultipleHUD Compatible - Works alongside the MultipleHUD mod without conflicts
• Multiple Task Types - Crafting, killing, mining, item collection, and location discovery
• Wildcard Patterns - Use * wildcards for flexible matching (e.g., Ore_* matches any ore)
• JSON Configuration - Define quests in simple JSON files for easy customization

Commands

Creating Your Own Quests

Quest File Location

Quest files are stored in your Hytale save folder:

Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Hytale/UserData/Saves/Modding/plugins/QuestBook/quests/

Windows: %APPDATA%/Hytale/UserData/Saves/Modding/plugins/QuestBook/quests/

Edit the included vanilla_quests.json or create your own .json files. Use /questadmin reload to apply changes without restarting.

Task Types

Craft

{ "type": "craft", "id": "craft_sword", "item": "Weapon_Sword_Copper", "count": 1 }

Kill

{ "type": "kill", "id": "kill_trorks", "mob": "Trork_*", "count": 10 }

Block Break

{ "type": "block_break", "id": "mine_ore", "block": "Ore_*", "count": 20 }

Item Collection

{ "type": "item", "id": "have_iron", "item": "Ingredient_Bar_Iron", "count": 10, "consume": false }

Set consume: true to require players to turn in items via a "Submit Items" button.

Location Discovery

{ "type": "location", "id": "reach_desert", "zone": "HowlingSands*" }

Or use depth-based checks:

{ "type": "location", "id": "go_deep", "below_y": 110 }

Use /quest location in-game to find zone and biome names.
