Questing Mayhem

Introduction/Background of the FINAL UPDATE

This is effectively the last update of Questing Mayhem. All of the content that is intended to be in the pack is now in the pack. 1,412 quests, 103 mods, months worth of entertainment. Questing Mayhem, at last, is "finished." I say finished in quotation marks because there may still be bugs in this update and that's why this update is not released as version 1.0. I want Questing Mayhem 1.0 to be as balanced as possible and, more importantly, as complete as possible. That means no bugs. 0.17 is the last update that will add content, but 1.0 will fix any final bugs in the modpack, although I did attempt to fix all of the known bugs for 0.17. Questing Mayhem 1.0 will be coming out sooner rather than later no matter how many bugs I find between now and then.  

This update adds The Simple Achievements Book which acts as the 3rd and final questbook in the pack. The other major aspect to this update is almost all creative items have a recipe now. They're expensive, but they're there. The only "creative only" items I did not make recipes for were the Creative, Pre-Fueled rockets, and Creative Blood Orbs. I didn't feel like the creative rockets were useful enough to warrant recipes. Just fill a creative portable tank with fuel and you're good to go. The creative blood orbs were buggy from my testing. Still, every other Creative upgrade, item, and block is now obtainable in survival. Good luck; have fun.

Thank You

I'll get more into this when 1.0 comes out, but I would like to thank you. Yes, you specifically, for playing Questing Mayhem. Whether you've been playing since version 0.1 back in February of 2017 or just found the modpack today, thank you. Questing Mayhem has been part of my life for what feels like forever but in actuality for only a little more than 3 years. Thank you for all of the support you have given me, the modpack, and the community throughout the time you've been a part of it. Questing Mayhem would not be the same without you and I mean that literally.  

An Announcement

A common comment, or complaint, or even praise depending on how you look at it, of Questing Mayhem has been that the recipes are extremely difficult and in some cases unfair. Some even say the modpack is impossible to realistically complete. While I agree Questing Mayhem is challenging (it says so in the modpack description), I know that the modpack is possible to complete in a lifetime. I should know because I made it. To prove this fact, and perhaps to get a taste of my own medicine, I will be completing Questing Mayhem myself. Every single quest. Better yet, if you don't mind my ramble, I will be recording myself playing through Questing Mayhem and completing every single quest legitimately. I will be posting the recordings on my YouTube page and they will make a tutorial-type series for Questing Mayhem. 

The videos will be posted on my Youtube Channel, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzi9oxUj5wf9wyfVxGnrVtA?view_as=subscriber, so if you want to watch the series or watch me torture myself with my own recipes, go there. Videos of the series are not out at the time of me writing this, but I'm planning to start making them very soon after the release of 0.17. I always have. In case you really care about this, I'm thinking the first video may release on Saturday, March 21st, 2020 but that is in no way set in stone. Again, I have yet to record anything yet. That's in an ideal world.

Anyway, I thought I would mention that in case anybody is interested.

The FINAL Changelog

 You've listened to me talk about 0.17, 1.0, and my plans for a Questing Mayhem YouTube series. Now, it's time for what this space was actually intended for: The Changelog. This is the final substantial changelog of Questing Mayhem. I hope you enjoy the changes. Thank you. So much.
