# The quest book (roadmap Phase 8). tools/quests.py turns this file into pack/config/ftbquests/quests/.
#
# Adrian, 2026-11-03: quests give no rewards; they point the way and never block (flexible progression, no lock
# icons). Titles, texts, tasks and dependencies live only here: edits to them in game are overwritten. Node
# positions are different: move nodes in the in-game editor, then `tools/quests.py --pull <instance quests folder>`
# (tools/prism_instance.py does it before each sync) copies them into the `layout` block at the end of this file.
#
# A chapter lists quests: id (unique in its chapter), title, optional subtitle, text (blank line = new paragraph),
# icon, after (quests it builds on: an id in the chapter, or chapter/id), and tasks, each one of:
#   item: <item id>, count: <n>             have the item
#   cobblemon: catch|defeat|evolve|level_up_to|..., amount: <n>, optional pokemon: [ids], types: [types],
#              zone_species: <zone>         a Cobblemon action (Cobblemon Quests Reloaded); zone_species = any
#                                           Pokémon of that zone's spawn pool
#   event: zone/<zone> | guardian/<zone> | machine/<core> | end_boss   the pack's own events (hidden advancements)
#   checkmark: true                         the player ticks it
# A task may also have a title. A chapter with `zone: <id>` starts with the quests of `zone_chapter`, where
# {zone}, {low}, {high}, {hazard_text}, {guardian}, {guardian_level}, {drops} and {ore_names} come from the
# zone's data; a template quest with `when:` is left out of zones that lack the thing named. A chapter with
# `summons: true` adds a quest per Sigil (world/summons.json), `columns: <n>` lays those out in a grid.

          This island has no zombies, no creepers and no cows: only Pokémon. Their drops are your food, string, leather and much more.
          The island is split into zones, each with its own Pokémon, levels, ores and a guardian. You start on Button Isle; the further out you go, the stronger everything gets.

          This book suggests what to do next. Nothing in it is locked and it gives no rewards: do things in any order you like.
