📜 ScrollQuest
A physical quest system with randomized missions, 5 rarity tiers, and custom rewards
Made with ❤ by zArrowTan, part of the Modern Plugin Series.

📋 Overview

ScrollQuest reinvents the quest system by handing players physical paper scrolls that hold randomized missions. Each quest is a real, tradeable item with its own objective, rarity, and rewards. Players collect them, track progress in real time, and right-click to claim, making quests feel tangible and valuable instead of buried in a menu. No database, no setup, just drop it in.
▶ Showcase


📜 Physical Quest System

  • Paper Items: quests are real items players can hold, trade, and collect
  • Custom Lore: mission type, progress, rarity, and rewards shown directly in the item lore
  • Right-Click Progress: check progress and claim completed quests instantly
  • Unique UUIDs: every quest has a unique identifier that prevents duplication
  • Auto Cleanup: orphaned and dropped quests are removed automatically

✨ 5 Rarity Tiers

  • Common white, 10-50 progress, basic rewards
  • Uncommon green, 25-100 progress, decent rewards
  • Rare blue with glow, 50-150 progress
  • Epic purple with glow, 100-250 progress
  • Legendary gold with glow, 200-500 progress
Rare and above feature an enchantment glow effect.
⚔️ 12 Mission Types

  • Walk Blocks: walk any distance
  • Chop Trees: chop any tree logs
  • Chop Specific Tree: specific wood types (Oak, Spruce, Birch, Crimson, Warped, and more)
  • Harvest Crops: harvest any crops
  • Harvest Specific Crop: specific crops (Wheat, Carrots, Chorus, Kelp, Sweet Berries, and more)
  • Mine Ores: mine any ore blocks
  • Mine Specific Ore: specific ores (Coal, Iron, Diamond, Ancient Debris, and more)
  • Place Blocks: place any blocks
  • Catch Fish: fish in any water body
  • Catch Specific Fish: specific fish (Cod, Salmon, Pufferfish, Tropical Fish)
  • Kill Mobs: kill any hostile mobs
  • Kill Specific Mob: specific entities (Zombies, Skeletons, Creepers, Endermen, Wither Skeletons, and more)

💰 Flexible Reward System

  • Money: economy integration through Vault
  • XP: award experience points or levels
  • Commands: run console commands with the %player% placeholder
  • Chance-Based Drops: set a 0-100% chance per reward, with the percentage shown in lore
  • Max Rewards Cap: limit how many rewards roll per claim, configurable per mission or rarity
  • Multiple Rewards: stack several reward types on a single quest

📊 Progress Tracking

  • ActionBar Display: real-time quest name, progress bar, and percentage
  • Title Notifications: big title announcements on completion
  • Live Lore Updates: the quest item lore updates automatically
  • Visual Progress Bar: color-coded bars showing completion status
  • Stack Mode: choose whether identical missions progress together or one-by-one
  • 9 PlaceholderAPI Placeholders: for scoreboards, tab lists, and chat formats
  • Per-Player Stats: completion stats are tracked and persisted, perfect for leaderboards

🌐 Full Localization

  • 15+ configurable lore strings: type labels, progress text, reward formats, bar characters, and claim instructions
  • All 12 mission type names are translatable to any language
  • Mission type icons: customize the emojis or symbols per type
  • Rarity display names: rename Common to "Commun", Legendary to "Mythique", anything goes, with full color support
  • Ideal for non-English communities or themed servers

🛡 Anti-Exploit Protection

  • Player-Placed Block Tracking: breaking a block you placed yourself gives zero progress
  • Fully Grown Crops Only: harvest missions require fully grown crops by default, no breaking baby wheat for free progress
  • Enabled by default, fully configurable in config.yml

⏳ Quest Expiration System

  • Per-Rarity Durations: short timers for Commons, longer ones for Legendaries
  • Flexible Units: hours (12h), days (7d), or months (1mo)
  • Expiration On Lore: players always see when their scrolls expire
  • Countdown: incomplete quests show clean countdowns like 3d 5h or < 1m on right-click
  • Timezone-Aware: configure your server timezone and a custom date format
  • Fully optional, disabled by default

🎨 Resource Pack Support

  • CustomModelData: assign custom textures per rarity via config.yml
  • Dynamic Textures: separate models for in-progress vs completed quests, swapped automatically
  • Fully optional, set to 0 to use the vanilla item texture

⚙ Advanced Configuration

  • Rarity Customization: set min/max progress per tier
  • Custom Sounds: sounds for completion, claims, and failures
  • Title Timings: adjust title and subtitle display durations
  • Hex Color Support: full hex color codes in every message
  • Cleanup Intervals: configurable automatic quest cleanup
  • ActionBar Format: customize the display with placeholders
