Bountiful — Guide
Getting Started - Boards and Decrees
- Get a Bounty Board. Craft the Bounty Board block, or find one - boards also generate naturally on the walls of village buildings, so you can discover them while exploring.
- Place the board. Put it down where you want your job hub - a base, a village, or a shared server town.
- Apply a Decree. A fresh board is empty. Hold a Decree and right-click the board to apply it. Each Decree tells the board which categories of jobs to hand out - mining, hunting, gathering, farming, fishing, brewing, and more. You can apply several Decrees to widen the mix of jobs.
- Let it fill. Once a board has Decrees, it begins generating bounties automatically and refreshing them over time.
Taking and Completing Bounties
Each bounty lists two things: what you must hand in (items, mob loot, or resources) and what you get back (item rewards, experience, and the board's own currency).
- Take a bounty from the board's interface.
- Complete its objective - gather the required items, mine the ores, hunt the mobs, fish up the catch, brew the potion, and so on.
- Turn it in by right-clicking the board again. A "Bounty Complete!" toast confirms the reward and pays you out.
Objectives are varied and drawn from configurable pools: fish up Enchanted Books, brew potions, cure a Zombie Villager, mine ores, hunt mobs, gather crops, and many more.
Reputation, Discounts and Timers
Bountiful adds progression and pressure on top of the basic loop:
- Reputation - completing bounties builds reputation with a board. Higher reputation unlocks better, higher-tier bounties over time.
- Discount - as your reputation grows, the board asks less of you, so loyal players pay less for bigger rewards.
- Timers - bounties are time-limited and expire if you take too long. This keeps a board's offerings fresh and rewards quick delivery, and it feeds the advancements for fast turn-ins.
The Bountiful Editor
Bountiful includes a built-in, in-game Editor for fully customizing the bounty system without editing files by hand:
- Pools - create and edit the sets of objectives and rewards that boards draw from.
- Decrees - manage which Decrees exist and what job categories they map to.
- Entries - tune individual entries across Basic, Advanced and Marker tabs.
- New Pool / New Entry / Delete controls make it easy to design your own economy or adapt it for a modpack.
Because the whole system is data-driven, packs can ship their own pools and decrees, and the Editor lets you preview and adjust them live.
