How do I start making quests?

From there, you can create a new quest line, add tasks (like collecting items or killing mobs), set rewards, and customize the appearance. The mod includes an auto-generated quest tree to help you get started if you want a template.
What are the different task types I can add?

How do I set up rewards for completing quests?
In the quest editor, navigate to the rewards section and add items, experience, or loot bags. You can customize reward bags by editing their contents in JSON format or through the in-game interface, allowing you to create complex reward systems.
Can multiple players work on the same quest together?

How do I change the look of my quest book?
Open the theme selection menu from the main quest interface and choose from available themes like Nether, End, or Survival. You can also create custom themes by editing resource packs if you want a unique visual style.
Can I edit quests with external tools?
