Create Addon

Create Addon

The JustQuests Create Addon adds quest goals for Create's machines. A goal only counts what that machine really makes, and the quest book says so in plain words, such as "0/16 Press Iron Sheet". It is a separate download, so JustQuests stays small for everyone who doesn't play with Create.

Download: GitHub release. The Modrinth page follows after its review.

What it needs

• NeoForge 1.21.1 (more versions may come later)
• Create 6.0.10
• JustQuests 0.4.6 or newer

Put the addon into the mods folder on the client and the server.

Objectives

The item is always what comes out of the machine.

Writing a quest

They work like every other objective:

{
  "title": { "en_us": "Press Iron Sheets", "de_de": "Eisenbleche pressen" },
  "category": "create",
  "objectives": [
    { "type": "justquests_create:press_item", "item": "create:iron_sheet", "count": 16 }
  ],
  "rewards": [
    { "type": "justquests:xp", "amount": 50 }
  ]
}

• item takes an id or a tag, such as #c:plates.
• count is how many have to come out of the machine.
• "distinct": true counts every kind of item only once.
• label and group work too.

The example datapack has one quest for every objective.

Who gets the progress

Create's machines run without a player, so someone has to get the credit:

• The player who placed the machine, wherever they are on the server.
• A machine without a known owner, because it was placed before the addon was installed or built by a schematic, counts for the nearest player within 32 blocks.
• An owner who is offline gets nothing, and nobody else gets it in their place.

For crushing wheels, the owner of a wheel counts. For a press or mixer over a basin, the owner of the press or mixer counts, otherwise the owner of the basin. Team quests work as usual.

Good to know

• Only items count, not fluids a mixer makes.
• A saw cutting down a tree and a deployer working on a block in the world don't count. A saw or deployer working on an item does.
• Applying an item to a block by hand doesn't count, because that isn't a machine.
• If the addon is missing on the server, quests with these objectives are skipped with a message in the log, and the other quests load normally.
• A client without the addon can still join, but those quests stay off its quest book.
• The addon is tested with Create 6.0.10. If another Create version changes a machine, the game keeps running, but that machine may not count. Please report it.

If you only need the item

Without the addon, have_item looks at what a player holds in the inventory. It works with every mod, but it doesn't check where the item came from.
