QuestLines
QuestLines is a Hytale server plugin that brings NPCs to life through a fully data-driven dialogue and quest system.
Tie any NPC — whether a HyCitizens citizen or a standard Hytale entity — to branching conversation trees that drive player progression through quests, achievements, rewards, and world state.
Quests can be as simple as a single NPC conversation or as complex as a multi-staged boss encounter with branching outcomes, timed events, and economy rewards.
If you can imagine it, QuestLines can drive it.
Features

Flexible Quest State
Track progress through:
- Tags
- Kills
- Block breaks
- Item collection
- Crafting
- Harvesting
- Fishing
- Economy checks

- Time of day
Chain conditions with any: and not: logic for complex branching.
Named Tracker System
Define reusable trackers with:
- Wildcard targets (
Rock*, *Planks)
- Bracket lists (
[Rat,Bat])
- Optional location/world gating
Tracker progress drives requirements, actions, and inline text variables.
Rich Action System
Trigger actions from responses or automatically when requirements pass:

- Run commands
- Award currency
