Gimer's Quest

Gimer's Quest is a powerful FTB Quests addon designed to turn quest progression into a true skill-tree style system.

Instead of using quests as simple guidance, this addon gives them real gameplay impact. Items, resources, and progression paths can be locked behind quest rewards, tracked more clearly through an improved pinned quest HUD, and visualized with built-in progress indicators across chapters and overall completion.

Whether you are building an expert pack, an RPG progression system, or a heavily guided modpack experience, Gimer's Quest gives FTB Quests a deeper and more rewarding progression layer.

Why Gimer's Quest?

Modern modpacks often rely on quests to structure progression, but vanilla quest flow does not always provide enough control, clarity, or immersion.

Gimer's Quest expands FTB Quests with:

• real item unlock progression
• skill-tree style advancement
• enhanced pinned quest tracking
• chapter and total completion indicators
• better inventory-side quest usability
• deeper interaction with recipes and item requirements

The result is a cleaner, smarter, and more engaging progression experience for both pack developers and players.

Core Features

Skill-Tree Style Progression

Gimer's Quest allows quests to directly control progression in a meaningful way.

Quest rewards can unlock:

• specific items
• full item tags
• custom item lists
• mod-based unlock pools
• random unlocks from configured lists
• progression currency through Unlock Coins

This makes it possible to build progression systems that feel structured, deliberate, and satisfying.

---

Item Unlock System

With Gimer's Quest, items can be tied to quest progression instead of being immediately available.

This allows modpack creators to:

• gate items behind quest milestones
• prevent players from skipping major progression steps
• build clearer progression branches
• reinforce expert-style progression design

For progression-heavy packs, this creates a much stronger sense of advancement and unlock pacing.

---

Unlock Coins

The addon introduces Unlock Coins, a dedicated progression currency that can be used in custom quests and progression systems.

Unlock Coins can be used to:

• pay for quest completion
• add upgrade or unlock costs
• build progression economies inside the quest tree

This opens the door for more interesting quest design than simple item submission alone.

---

Custom Item Lists

Gimer's Quest includes support for custom item lists, giving pack authors far more flexibility when defining unlock logic.

You can:

• create reusable lists of items
• combine direct items and tags
• use those lists in unlock rewards and task requirements
• update a list and automatically refresh the quests that depend on it

This is especially useful for:

• machine tiers
• resource families
• tech branches
• category-based unlock systems
• randomized reward pools

---

Improved Pinned Quest HUD

The default pinned quest experience is expanded into a much more practical system.

In normal gameplay

Pinned quests are shown as compact icons, keeping the HUD clean and unobtrusive.

Inside inventory screens

Pinned quests expand into a detailed side panel that displays:

• quest icons
• quest titles
• task requirements
• required item icons
• current task progress

This makes it far easier to keep crafting and progressing without constantly reopening the full quest screen.

---

Fast Recipe Access

The inventory-side pinned quest HUD is fully interactive.

Players can:

• click required item icons to open crafting recipes
• click list or tag-based tasks to view valid matching items
• open recipes and usages directly from the valid-items screen

This makes progression smoother and reduces friction while crafting, planning, and completing objectives.

---

Pin and Unpin Directly from the HUD

Pinned quest management is also more convenient.

Players can:

• pin or unpin quests directly from the inventory HUD
• use the familiar FTB Quests pin icon
• keep up to 3 manually pinned quests visible
• access pinned quest positioning settings through FTB Quests settings

This keeps the system practical without overwhelming the interface.

---

Chapter and Global Progress Indicators

Gimer's Quest adds built-in circular progress indicators directly to the FTB Quests interface.

These progress displays show:

• chapter completion percentage
• overall quest completion percentage
• visual progress at a glance
• detailed tooltips with completed vs total quest counts

This gives players immediate feedback on where they are in the pack and what remains to be completed.

---

Better Quest Readability

The addon also improves the presentation of progression-related quests.

This includes:

• clearer display for special unlock-related tasks
• dedicated coin-related quest visuals
• more readable objective tracking through the custom HUD

These additions help important progression quests stand out more clearly.

---

Designed for Progression-Focused Modpacks

Gimer's Quest is especially well suited for:

• expert modpacks
• RPG progression packs
• gated technology progression
• adventure-driven packs
• skyblocks with structured advancement
• quest-heavy packs that want stronger progression control

If your quests are meant to do more than explain the pack, Gimer's Quest helps make them central to the gameplay loop.

---

For Pack Developers

Gimer's Quest gives pack creators more control over progression design without replacing the FTB Quests workflow they already know.

It is built to enhance the existing FTB Quests ecosystem with:

• deeper unlock logic
• better player guidance
• cleaner progression visibility
• more meaningful quest rewards
• improved usability during normal gameplay

It is a practical tool for building progression that feels intentional instead of loosely suggested.
