Step 3

Finally, click Install at the bottom right of the launcher after you select The VanillaQuest Initiative from the list on the left. The launcher will handle everything else!

shame to see VQI 2 isn't going to happen most likely as i actually really remember enjoying this quite a lot for being just a vanilla map (for the most part) normally vanilla is just too samey and boring for my tastes but idk something about this i enjoyed maybe it was the dungeon designs maybe it was something else idk but i enjoyed it quite a bit for what it was and was somewhat excited for a sequel and thought it might be out as it has been years since i last checked but i can understand why it never happened and probably never will

Of course I do not speak for the creator (I could be completely wrong here), but you could just make it completely unique (with a different name) and that shouldn't be an issue, of course you should still mention that it was inspired by this pack and credit the creator. But this sort of thing has happened before (crash landing -> forever stranded, skyfactory -> hundreds of different packs)

Honestly if I'm not actively involved in the creation, I'd prefer if you called it something else. I don't know if I'll ever get to return to making modpacks, but I really like VQI as a name and concept, and would prefer it remain my intellectual property. Thank you for asking first, let me know when your modpack has been created, I'd love to check it out

I might be a little late, haha! XD Anyway, I recently got the thing today (amazing work by the way) and I found the first three chests/books for the first quest. (I figured the third out by the comments here) I need help finding the fourth one. Five hours worth of playing, and I can not find it. Can you help me or give me a hint please?

Sorry, just checking the page after forgetting about it for months...lol If I remember correctly, one is right next to the farm plot in the water, one is around the back of the chicken pen under a slab or stair, one is accessible only if you turn the lights off in the bunker at the end of the hallway, and the last one can be opened by going around behind the nether portal. I think I added a button that'll open up a passage to get back there...It's been a while, but if memory serves, that's all four of them. Hope this helps, and I know this is coming to you late!
Posted by TheDrumkid92 5 years ago | Modpack Creator
Yo my man, are you going to update us or what? It's been 13 months since you announced VQI2 and although you said you were going to keep us updated it has been over a year and no updates so far. I get it if there are some issues right now but I would like to know about the new pack.
melloneater2K16 6 years ago
likewise
Posted by Revivers 6 years ago
Sorry guys, real life has stepped in (bought a house, got engaged, three jobs, etc) and I just don't have the time I used to have to dedicate to projects like VQI2. I have a full design doc and some sketches in a folder from a year ago, but idk when I'll have time to make something concrete for the community to enjoy. Too many other things I'm responsible for and demand my time and energy. Sorry you guys :/
Posted by TheDrumkid92 6 years ago | Modpack Creator
I understand. Thanks for the update, and good luck! Just out of curiosity, would you mind sending me the sketches? It would be interesting to see! my twitter is @chrisdaval
Posted by Revivers 6 years ago
Completely understandable. I was just confused since you suddenly vanished without a trace.
Posted by melloneater2K16 6 years ago
Also, Congrats!

I cant find the mod
July_Rose 6 years ago
By saying, "I can't find the mod" do you mean to say you can't find the modpack? If that is the case then all I can recommend is to try and search the technic launcher for The VanillaQuest Initiative. If you mean to say you can't find a mod that is in the modpack then it would help if you would specify the mod, however, the only mod that really is necessary would be hqm but I don't want to explain how to find/get this mod unless I know that is what you need.
Posted by melloneater2K16 6 years ago
It's been 10 months since you announced the VQI2. I hope you have made some progress because I really want to play it!
melloneater2K16 6 years ago
So, I've been getting really into Botania lately. And i was looking for a Botania modpack with hqm when it hit me. What if, i ask my friend, TheDrumKid92, to make one for me? Now, if you don't have time or if you don't want to that's fine. I was just throwing the suggestion out there.
melloneater2K16 7 years ago
Right now I definitely can't, all three of my jobs are about to enter their busy period in the next couple of weeks. I'm gonna be super bored over the summer though, so I might be able to make that happen around then! I'm not super familiar with Botania, so in the meantime I'll do some research
Posted by TheDrumkid92 7 years ago | Modpack Creator
Ok thanks! I actually didn't expect you to do it at all so that's more than i hoped for!
Posted by melloneater2K16 7 years ago
Whenever I break a block, it reappears, why is this happening? and how can I fix this?

sooooooooo about the packs ur working on.... any details? i rlly want to know if a new pack is coming out soon!
melloneater2K16 7 years ago
Thanks for asking! The pack is still in the conceptual phase, so if I have enough time to make it, it'll be a little while before it's done! I'll be posting on here when I start making it and doing development updates as well!
Posted by TheDrumkid92 7 years ago | Modpack Creator
Ok! Thanks for letting me know!
Posted by melloneater2K16 7 years ago
Hey me again, I was wondering if I could do a play through of this map on my YouTube channel? It's REALLY SMALL right now, three videos and eight subscribers. But I just wanted to give it a little nudge, can I by using this modpack? Hope you're having a nice day. :)
Skylanite_ 7 years ago
Thanks for asking first! I love it when people want to record the map, go right ahead! If you let me know your channel URL, I'll post your first episode as an update on here and tweet it out via my personal Twitter. Might help you get some more subs/followers. You never know!
Posted by TheDrumkid92 7 years ago | Modpack Creator
oooo i want to see it :) i may even subscribe if ur good
Posted by melloneater2K16 7 years ago
sooooooooo.... whats the url?
Posted by melloneater2K16 7 years ago
This modpack is AMAZING! One question though, how do I complete the stockpiling quests? I have three stacks of potatoes (Seriously, why man. Just why.) in my inventory but it isn't registering or something. Help?
Skylanite_ 7 years ago
I'll help you so he doesn't have to. If you are on the potato quest then you have found the secret bunker. Go to the last room of the bunker (the one with the hoppers.) Open your quest book and hit the option "Select task" (or something like that.) Click on the Quest Deliver Thingy under the hopper and it will have some letters on it. Then put the potatoes in the hopper and wait. Sorry if this wasn't a good enough explanation to help, can't remember the exact details.
Posted by melloneater2K16 7 years ago
Exactly what he said! The little brown boxes are what's known as Quest Delivery Systems (QDS). The hoppers all funnel whatever you put into them into the QDS's. Just make sure you've assigned a quest to the QDS BEFORE putting the potatoes in, or you'll waste them and have to farm more! :O
Posted by TheDrumkid92 7 years ago | Modpack Creator
Oh my gosh thank you so much! So glad to see an active owner. Will you be making any more quest like maps anytime soon? This one is so much fun :)
Posted by Skylanite_ 7 years ago
Aw, thanks! I've been toying around with a few ideas for another one lately, but nothing concrete yet. Still not sure if I want to implement content mods for it or not. But my brain is always churning out new ideas! :)
Posted by TheDrumkid92 7 years ago | Modpack Creator
Thank you for clearing up my explanation xD
Posted by melloneater2K16 7 years ago
Love the modpack! I only have one little thing. I can't find the 3rd secret stash? I've gone in the stockpiling bunker and tried every light combination. (That took forever.) But I still can't seem to get it? I assumed from your hints below it was something to do with turning on and off the lights, but I can't seem to get it still.
AudioControl 7 years ago
Hahaha nobody can find that one! I guess I hid it a little too well...I'll give you an extra hint. There's a light switch in the bunker you're forgetting about
Posted by TheDrumkid92 7 years ago | Modpack Creator
I like the mod pack a lot thx for making it! (P.S. Did you really have to make us need 3 stacks of pumpkins...)
melloneater2K16 7 years ago
I'm glad you enjoy it! Haha I actually LOWERED the submit costs for all of the stockpiling quests after playtesting it. It used to be 6 or 7 stacks of everything
Posted by TheDrumkid92 7 years ago | Modpack Creator
what kind of demon are you....
Posted by melloneater2K16 7 years ago
"I'm already a demon..."
Posted by TheDrumkid92 7 years ago | Modpack Creator
OMG 3rd book is so hard to find :(
melloneater2K16 7 years ago
Hahaha sorry! I hid that one with a little redstone trick. I'll give you another hint: Not every lever needs to be turned on all the time...
Posted by TheDrumkid92 7 years ago | Modpack Creator
thx i saw that on another comment but the only room before the nether with multiple levers is the storage room and its so close to above ground i didn't see anywhere for redstone but i'll look again
Posted by melloneater2K16 7 years ago
Hello, First of all thank you for making this pack/quest! ITS AMAZING!! I am currently playing but I have a few problems such as not being able to complete the 'almighty spruce' quest and also the quest with the 4 books in 'a place like home.' I found the book but then it hasn't worked and I now can't find the book? Thank you
lbennett 7 years ago
The almighty spruce quest requires the "spruce" plank block. (Just between you and me, you can take a spruce plank block and rename it "spruce" with quotes in an anvil and submit it that way) You can choose that as a reward from the Furnishing Your New Home quest instead of a reward bag. It was just a fun little side quest for people who chose the plank. If you're a completionist, you can do the anvil trick above. As for the hidden goodies quest, having the book in your inventory should be good enough. You need all 4 of them for the quest to work, however. All 4 are in the overworld and hidden around the cottage. Hope this helped!
Posted by TheDrumkid92 7 years ago | Modpack Creator
Hello! So my question is; "Is it a good idea to add some mods for my own? Such as galacticcraft or something like that?
SSlice 8 years ago
If you add other mods, just know that some parts of the pack might not work. Also you'll need to travel a ways away to get new generation for galacticraft ores
Posted by TheDrumkid92 8 years ago | Modpack Creator
Wow, this is really amazing. I'm having a great time with my playthrough, but I wish the ending wasn't so easy to find! If you use a few command blocks to check if a certain block is in a certain place, like a Dragon Egg near the door, it would make it a lot better. Just my suggestion.
AuthorWolf 8 years ago
That's a good idea! I've never been great with command blocks and redstone, so the fact that the pack came together at all is a miracle in and of itself lol That's also why you don't see much redstone in any of the dungeons :/ Thanks a ton for playing it, and I super appreciate the feedback!
Posted by TheDrumkid92 8 years ago | Modpack Creator
can i get a hint of where the 3rd secret stash. best hid of all but just not finding it. . .
McKiller247 8 years ago
Ha! That's the one that gives people the most trouble. I'll tell you that not every lever needs to be turned on...

Latest Update

I'm sketching out environments for VanillaQuest Initiative 2! I'm making a more engaging storyline instead of a step-by-step. It'll be more geared towards those of you who finished the first one. I'll keep you all updated as my creative process continues!
