Bountiful — Guide

Getting Started - Boards and Decrees

  1. 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.
  2. Place the board. Put it down where you want your job hub - a base, a village, or a shared server town.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

Advancements

Bountiful adds advancements that track your work on the boards, including:

  • Honest Pay for Honest Work - complete a bounty.
  • Rush Order Delivery - finish a bounty in under a minute.
  • Master Procrastinator - finish a bounty with under ten seconds left on the timer.
  • Town Crier - put a Decree on a board.

...and more, rewarding both steady work and last-second deliveries.
