Quest

A quest. A calling. A mission. A job. Whatever label you use, questing is one of the greatest pursuits a Survivor can engage in, and quests offer some of the best rewards, too.

Dailies

A daily quest is one that is repeatable each day. These quests often serve as a way to increase Reputation with a given group, or simply a good way to get some materials or a little bit of Marbles.

Known Dailies

Daily quests are available to do once every 16 hours. Daily quests offer a variety of rewards, including reputation.

Best Practices

Quests

Some tips and best practices for implementing quests.

- There is a option for starting quests via right click on blocks, however, when setting this up there is no signifier that there is a quest that can be started by clicking on the block like NPC's do. To get around this I've started using a Quest ! block to signify that there is a quest that can be started from certain placed items or blocks in the world.

Quest block looks like this:

The yellow Exclamation mark can be found in the head data base - it's name is Yellow Exclamation Mark

In game command for HDB is: /headdatabase:hdb

The yellow exclamation mark should only be used for signifying that there is a quest at the location.

Exceptions: You may want a sneaky / hidden quest that you want the player to stumble on in a location, in this case don't use a quest ! block. I would avoid having hidden quests in lower level areas though, the player needs to be taught first that some blocks require you to right click on them to start a quest. Sneaky / Hidden quests should have some in game signifier that there is a quest located there by a placed block, item, etc that is unique or stands out in the location.

Items

NBT can be a little nasty to work with and commands can get pretty long depending on the item you are trying to create which cannot be entered into the chat console and ran if they are over 256 characters. Which they most likely will be if you are creating custom armor and weapons.

I use https://www.gamergeeks.net/apps/minecraft/give-command-generator/ to create my custom items and then use a command block to give myself the item.

• Command block: command_block
• in order to run the /give command generated from the command generator, you MUST specify that you are running the command through minecraft otherwise it won't work. Use /minecraft:give

Quest Items

These can be a bit tricky to make, specially if you are using heads for some custom quest items.

The best way that I have found to do this is first find the base item that you want to use as a quest item and put it in your inventory. Then use /quests actions to create a give command action to give myself the item.

When you are creating the action you can load whatever item you have in your hand as the item that it gives. From there you can set lore and display name.

After the action is completed I usually set that up as a temporary action in the 1st quest stage so that I can easily give myself the quest item that I created when I test start the quest.

Note: Remember to remove the action from the quest stage after you are done setting up and testing the quest.

Helpful Commands

/data modify block x y z Items[{Slot:0b}].tag merge value {author:"alias"}

Used to resign authored books. Throw the signed book into a chest and run this command. You will need to replace XYZ coords and whatever you want in the "Alias" value. XYZ coords will pop up as you are trying in the command if you don't copy paste.
