What is FTB Quests?
Same as in the All the Mods 10 7.2 guide
FTB Quests is included in this pack as version 2101.1.27, using the NeoForge build of the mod. It has been part of the pack since pack version 2.25 or earlier, so it's been around for most of the pack's life.[1]
Unverified The available sources don't describe what FTB Quests does, who it's aimed at, or how it fits into this pack's progression, so those details are left out until they can be confirmed.
How do you get started with FTB Quests?
3 parts
Same as in the All the Mods 10 7.2 guide
Getting set up with FTB Quests takes only a few cheap crafts, and every one uses basic early-game materials. The pack uses the mod's own recipes for all of these items, so what you see below is exactly what you'll craft in your world.[2]
Step 1: The Quest Book
Your first craft should be the Quest Book. It's a quick shapeless recipe you can make right after punching your first trees and grabbing some stone, so there's no reason to wait.[2]
Unverified The sources don't describe what the Quest Book does when used. It is commonly used to open the quests screen, but this pack's data doesn't confirm that.
Step 2: The Loot Crate Opener
Next up is the Loot Crate Opener. It's another cheap early craft, so you can grab it as soon as you have the materials.[2]

Unverified The sources don't explain how the Loot Crate Opener works or whether this pack hands out any loot crates.
Step 3: Task Screens (optional)
Task screens are a nice extra once you're settled in. Start with the Task Screen (1x1), because it's the base of the whole set. Every larger screen and the configurator are crafted from it.[2]
From there, work your way up in order: Task Screen (3x3), then Task Screen (5x5), then Task Screen (7x7). Each bigger size is built from the smaller ones, so you can't skip ahead.[2]

To round out the set, craft the Task Screen Configurator. It also uses the smallest screen, so make an extra one if you plan to build it.[2]

How does FTB Quests work?
5 parts
Getting and crafting the Quest Book
The pack's own script hands you a Quest Book the first time you join a party, and it only does this once per player. If you lose it, you can craft another with the recipe below.[4][5]
The quest file also has a setting called Drop FTB Quests Book on Death. The sources don't show whether this pack turns it on.[6]
Task Screens
Task Screens are blocks that show a quest task in the world. They come in four sizes: Task Screen (1x1), Task Screen (3x3), Task Screen (5x5) and Task Screen (7x7).[6]
The 1x1 screen is the starting point. The bigger sizes are crafted from the smaller screens, as these recipes show.[5]
Crafting Shaped
Recipe id: ftbquests:screen_5
Crafting Shaped
Recipe id: ftbquests:screen_7
Each screen has these settings: Size, Skin, Task Index, Fullscreen, Hide Icons, Indestructible, Input Mode Icon, Input Only and Draw Text Shadows. If you lack permission, you get the message "You don't have permission to configure this!".[6]
When a screen is broken, its drop copies the saved task screen data from the block, so the screen's setup travels with the item.[7][8][9][10]
The Task Screen Configurator has its own recipe too.[5]

Quest Chest, detectors and barriers
The Quest Chest has an Input Slot, where you place items to complete quests, and an Output Slot, where rewards appear. It also has an Auto-Transfer All Items option.[6]
Quest Detector blocks come in two kinds. The Player Detector has Radius, Height and Offset Y settings. The Redstone Detector has a Required Redstone Level setting. Both can be tied to a Task and have a Notifications option.[6]
The Quest Progress Detector has an Object ID and an Output Level. A Progress Screen block also exists.[6]
The Quest Barrier has an Object ID and an Invisible When Open option. There is also a separate Stage Barrier block.[6]
Loot Crate Opener
The Loot Crate Opener stores items. Right-clicking it shows your stored item count, and when you break it, the drop copies the stored loot crate items from the block.[6][11]

How quest rules work
The quest book's own tooltips explain several rules that decide how your questline behaves.[6]
- Progression mode, Linear: a quest must be complete before the quests that depend on it can start.[6]
- Progression mode, Flexible: you can progress tasks in dependent quests at any time, but those quests can't be completed until their dependency is.[6]
- Sequential tasks: when this is on, tasks must be completed in the strict order they were added to the quest. A quest can follow its chapter's setting.[6]
- Minimum required dependencies: set this above 0 and the quest becomes an OR quest, where only that many dependencies are needed to unlock it.[6]
- Exclusive quests: completing one makes the other branches unavailable. A max completable dependents setting does something similar for exclusive branches.[6]
- Repeat cooldown: for repeatable quests, this is the delay in seconds between claiming all rewards and being able to redo the tasks.[6]
- Team rewards: when on, it is one reward for the whole team and only the submitting player receives it. When off, all online players receive the reward.[6]
- Detection delay: the minimum interval, in ticks, between checks of a player's inventory when it changes. Higher values are kinder to server TPS but delay auto-completion messages.[6]
How do you progress through FTB Quests?
3 parts
FTB Quests items in this pack build on each other in a simple order: you get the book, then work up through the Task Screen sizes, with a couple of small utility items on the side.[5]
Start with the Quest Book
You usually won't need to craft the Quest Book yourself. The pack gives it to you once, the first time you join a party. If you lose it later, the recipe below makes a new one.[4][5]
The in-pack recipe for a replacement Quest Book.
Task Screen sizes
Task Screens come in Task Screen (1x1), Task Screen (3x3), Task Screen (5x5) and Task Screen (7x7). The 1x1 is the entry point. Each bigger size is crafted from the smaller screens, so you work up the ladder one step at a time. Here are the in-pack recipes in order.[5]
