Blocked Layers Reborn
This mod adds a simple quest system to Minecraft that restricts the ability to dig deeper until specific tasks are completed. Players can only break through block layers after finishing all quests on the current level.
Main Features
A quests.json
file is automatically created in the config/BlockedLayers
folder where you can configure quests. Each task must have a unique name and can include various types of activities:
Available Actions:
- eat - consuming food
- break - breaking blocks
- kill - eliminating creatures
- harvest - harvesting crops (counting block drops)
- loot - looting (counting creature drops)
- own - having items in inventory
- consume - using items (disappear from inventory)
- xp - gaining experience
- find - discovering biomes
- craft - creating or smelting items
Quest Configuration
When creating quests, the following parameters are used:
- name - unique task name
- activity - activity type
- object - target object
- modID - mod identifier (for vanilla objects -
minecraft
) - text - quest description
- layer - layer level (1-255)
- meta - metadata (usually 0, -1 for any metadata)
- number - required quantity (maximum 2147483647)
Team Play
The mod supports team play - players can form teams and complete quests together. To join a team, use the command:
/bl team <player> <team_name>
For example: /bl team Notch Masters
Progress Management
For resetting progress, available commands:
/bl reset quest <player> <quest_name>
/bl reset layer <player> <layer_level>
Resetting a level automatically resets all quests on that level.
Reward System
You can activate the reward system in settings. The config/BlockedLayers/rewards.json
file allows adding items in "modID:itemID:meta:number" or "oreDictionaryName:number" format. Players receive rewards when reaching a new layer.
Progress Tracking
To view current progress, use the hotkey (default L) which opens a panel with information about completed quests.
