Blocked Layers

This mod allows creating simple quests that grant players access to deeper underground layers. For version 1.7.10 and above, starting from release 2.0.

After installing the mod, a quests.json file is automatically created in the config/BlockedLayers folder. Breaking blocks beneath a specific layer is only possible after completing all quests on that level.

Quest Configuration

Each quest is configured through a JSON file with the following parameters:

• name: unique quest name
• activity: action type (eat, break, kill, harvest, loot, own, consume, xp, find, craft)
• object: target object for the action
• modID: mod identifier (for vanilla objects - minecraft)
• text: quest description for the player
• layer: layer number from 1 to 255
• meta: metadata (usually 0, -1 for any values)
• number: required quantity (maximum 2147483647)

Action Types

• eat: consuming food
• break: breaking blocks
• kill: eliminating creatures
• harvest: collecting from blocks
• loot: obtaining from creatures
• own: having items in inventory
• consume: using items with their disappearance
• xp: gaining experience
• find: discovering biomes
• craft: creating or smelting items

Team Mode

Players can form teams (option can be disabled in settings). Members of the same team share quest completion progress. To join a team, use the command:

/bl team <player> <team_name>

Example: /bl team Notch Masters

Progress Reset

To reset progress, use the command:

/bl reset quest|layer <player> <layer|quest>

Examples:

• /bl reset quest Dinnerbone deathOfChicken
• /bl reset layer Dinnerbone 32

When resetting a layer, all quests on that level are also reset.

Reward System

In the settings, you can activate the reward system. The config/BlockedLayers/rewards.json file allows adding items in the format "modID:itemID:meta:number" or "oreDictionaryName:number". When reaching a new layer, the player automatically receives the specified rewards.

Progress Tracking

To view current progress, use the hotkey (default L), which opens a special panel.

Important Notes

• Do not use Shift for quick item extraction from crafting table or furnace - this may lead to incorrect counting
• To get correct modID and itemID, use the dump function in NEI
