Better Questing - Forestry
About the Expansion
To all modpack and map creators! Are you familiar with the situation when you need to add quests involving Forestry bees, but working with NBT tags seems too complicated? Perhaps the standard way of adding bees through Better Questing extensions feels tedious to you, especially when creating quests in bulk? These exact problems inspired me to create this expansion!
Main Features
Better Questing - Forestry Expansion significantly simplifies the process of creating quests related to Forestry bees. Now you won't have to worry about accidental errors in NBT tags or specifying unnecessary parameters that might prevent bees from being correctly registered in the quest system.
What exactly does this expansion do?
The main feature of the mod is adding a new quest type to Better Questing that allows developers and designers to easily configure requirements for Forestry bees through a convenient graphical interface. You can set any bee characteristics—from simply specifying the species to complex trait combinations, for example: "A Modest Larvae that creates poison clouds only at night during rain." You can specify any combination of traits or skip this step altogether, allowing any matching options!
Quest Types
Forestry Bee Retrieval — allows selecting any number of Forestry-compatible bees and precisely configuring their characteristics for quest completion.
Code Input — (version 1.1.0) a feature requested by a Reddit user; allows setting a code that the player must enter. Useful for creating secret passwords that restrict access to quests for beginners but don't hinder experienced players.
Commands
The mod adds one command: /findtrait. It's extremely useful for quest creators, allowing them to easily get the characteristics of a bee the player is holding and dynamically access any chromosomes of registered bees. For greater convenience, I also recommend using Forestry's /forestry give commands!
Settings
Default parameters for all quests can be selected through the in-game configuration menu, saving a lot of time on reconfiguring the same options. No more need to specify that every bee must be a queen!
Compatibility
This mod should be compatible with almost all Forestry bee additions "out of the box," although I can't guarantee perfect work with every one of them. However, I've tested popular additions and check the functionality of each with every new release!
Fully compatible:
- Binnie's Bees
- Career Bees (some effects may display incorrectly, but I'm working on it!)
- Equivalent Bees
- Extra Bees (Binnie's Mods)
- Forestry
- Gendustry
- Magic Bees (some effects may display incorrectly, but I'm working on it!)
- More Bees
