Taskbound

Taskbound adds guild tasks, reputation, and rewards to Minecraft. Pick up tasks at a Task Board, complete their objectives, and return to a board to collect your rewards. Take a Task Journal with you to keep track of your progress while you're away.

What is in it?

• 210 tasks across seven guilds: Hunter, Angler, Wizard, Farmer, Crafting, Challenges, and Porter.
• Five tiers per guild: 30 tasks each, including 14 one-time finales with more involved objectives.
• Occasional timed tasks: 47 in the default catalog, or 42 with Starcatcher installed. Timers count online play, pause while offline, and stop when objectives are complete.
• More ways to work: grow crops, milk cows, shear sheep, brew potions, hand in supplies, fish with specialized rods, build and activate machines, and complete combat and Trial Spawner challenges.
• Porter deliveries: carry sealed parcels, collect supplies, return receipts, and follow routes between boards. Higher tiers introduce fragile cargo and Nether and End deliveries.
• Guild progression: build reputation, unlock task categories, gain more available offers, and collect level rewards.
• Task Boards: browse offers, search and filter tasks, and choose between Relaxed and Compact layouts.
• A portable journal: check active tasks, read their details, and browse each guild's levels and rewards.
• Editable content: add, remove, or change tasks, their titles and descriptions, task givers, and rewards through JSON files or datapacks.
• Choose your currency: use emeralds, automatic Numismatics spurs, or a custom item chosen by the server or modpack.

By default, you can have three active tasks. Board offers refresh every five minutes of server game time, while accepted tasks keep their progress and rewards. Claim rewards at a board; the journal lets you check your progress wherever you are. For item hand-ins, choose the exact stacks to submit in the board's inventory popup, then confirm.

Farmer and optional integrations

Farmer replaces Gathering, with tasks focused on crops, food, and ranching. Harvest mature crops, milk cows, shear sheep, breed animals, and collect honey. Existing Gathering reputation carries over. Look for the iron hoe icon.

With Starcatcher installed, 30 Starcatcher tasks replace the entire vanilla Angler list. Catch different species, explore fishing habitats, and work toward rare fish, heavy specimens, and perfect catches. All Starcatcher tasks are untimed to account for its slower, more demanding fishing.

With Farmer's Delight installed, 15 Farmer tasks are replaced with tasks for its crops, cutting board, cooking pot, and meals. The other 15 Farmer tasks remain available.

These integrations are optional. Their tasks replace existing offers, so the active catalog stays at 210 tasks. Farmer and Porter also have full catalogs without either mod.

Porter deliveries

Porter finds nearby boards without requiring you to open each destination first. Boards become available as their chunks load; searching for a route does not generate unexplored terrain. Follow your assigned stops in order, and interact with the final board to finish the delivery and receive your reward automatically.

Each accepted delivery gives you a custom Delivery Compass pointing to the next stop. It updates along the route and disappears when the task ends. The compass points within its target dimension and spins outside it. Keep track of it: lost compasses are not automatically replaced.

Parcels use cardboard boxes with varied colors and a stamp showing their delivery dimension: green for the Overworld, red for the Nether, and purple for the End. Their tooltips show the destination's X and Z coordinates.

With Xaero's Minimap installed, deliveries also create a temporary destination waypoint or beacon. A client config option can turn this off. Xaero's World Map alone uses the compass fallback; the compass is always provided.

Task Board pavilions

New vanilla villages prioritize one Task Board pavilion beside a path or paved plaza, with duplicates prevented. Standalone pavilions also appear on dry Nether cave floors and the End's outer islands, using materials that fit each dimension. Nether placement is more frequent, while End pavilions are more widely spaced. Terrain and biomes affect where they can generate.

Pavilions appear in newly generated chunks. You can also craft and place your own Task Boards.

Create: Numismatics

Numismatics support is built in. When it is installed, new emerald payouts use spurs by default at 1 emerald = 1 spur. You can change the automatic spur exchange rate or turn conversion off in the server config. Numismatics is optional.

Prefer another currency? Enable custom currency and choose a registered item, such as minecraft:diamond, in the server config. Each emerald becomes one of that item, and this choice takes priority over Numismatics. Accepted tasks keep their original payout; level gifts and other item rewards stay unchanged.

For modpack and server creators

Taskbound generates editable definitions in config/taskbound/data/ on first launch. Customize the task list, guilds, rewards, progression, and limits to suit your pack. World datapacks can override these definitions.

Custom currency uses rewards.use_custom_currency_rewards and rewards.custom_currency_item in taskbound-server.toml. The default balance assumes emeralds or 1:1 spurs; a more valuable custom item keeps the same payout counts, so adjust rewards to fit your economy.

Kill tasks can require specific damage types or tags, including player-attributed explosions. Modded weapon credit depends on the weapon preserving its attacker and damage information.

The 1.1.0 update preserves edited definitions, accepted tasks, and saved progress. Customized guild or category files may need a manual merge to expose the new task lists. The clean default_configs/ reference and wiki explain setup and editing.
