Extra Quests Mod FAQ
12 questions players actually ask, answered.
What is the Extra Quests Mod and what does it add to FTB Quests?
Extra Quests is a sidemod for FTB Quests that adds new task types, reward types, and mechanics on top of the base mod. It introduces key-value tasks, set-based tasks, daily and weekly tasks, console command rewards, and task timers.
How do I get started with Extra Quests after installing it?
Open your quest book and edit a quest as you normally would in FTB Quests. The new task and reward types from Extra Quests will appear alongside the vanilla FTB Quests options in the task and reward selection menus.
What is a key-value task and how does it work?
A key-value task tracks a named key and a value the player must reach, rather than a specific item or mob. You define the key and target value in the task settings, and something in your pack (a command, another mod, or a script) updates that key as the player progresses.
How is a key-value task different from a normal FTB Quests task?
Normal tasks check for items, stats, or advancements directly. Key-value tasks instead read a stored value tied to a key, so they can track custom progress like points, kills counted by a script, or any number your pack decides to track.
What does a set-based task do?
A set-based task requires the player to complete or collect a set of values rather than a single one. This is useful for things like collecting every ore type, defeating every boss in a list, or completing a group of objectives.
How do daily and weekly tasks work in Extra Quests?
Daily and weekly tasks reset on a real-time schedule, so players can complete them again after the period rolls over. You set the task as daily or weekly in its settings, and the mod handles the reset timing automatically.
Do daily and weekly tasks reset based on real time or in-game time?
They reset on a real-world schedule, not in-game days. This means a player who logs in after the reset window can complete the task again even if no in-game day has passed.
How do I add a timer to a quest task?
In the task settings, enable the timer option and set the duration you want. The player must complete the task within that window, and the task fails or resets if time runs out.
Can I give console commands as a reward?
Yes, Extra Quests adds a console command reward type. You enter the command in the reward settings, and it runs from the server when the player claims the reward, so you can give items, run functions, or trigger other mods.
What are the most common mistakes when using Extra Quests?
The biggest ones are mismatching key names between the task and whatever updates the value, forgetting that daily and weekly tasks use real time, and writing console commands without the leading slash or with the wrong executor. Double-check key spelling and test commands in-game before shipping a quest.
Does Extra Quests work on a server, and do all players need it?
It runs server-side as part of the FTB Quests setup, so the server needs it installed. Clients generally need it too if the quest book uses its custom task or reward types, otherwise those entries may not display or function correctly.
Does Extra Quests cause lag or performance issues?
The mod itself is lightweight since it mainly extends quest logic rather than adding world content. Performance impact usually comes from the console commands you attach as rewards, so keep those efficient and avoid heavy commands on frequently claimed rewards.
