aetherboundQuest

Highlights:

No forced campaign. The mod ships an empty era list by default. The pack author builds the progression in the editor: eras, bridges, quests, and recipes.
In-game editor. Everything is configured through a gear icon in the journal (admin password, default 1111): eras, bridges, quests, recipes. Saved to config/aetherbound/*.json at the pack level.
Eras & bridges. Eras gate mods and recipes: while an era is closed, its items are hidden from JEI and can’t be crafted. Bridges link progression branches together.
Pack-aware adaptation. The editor shows only the tabs that make sense: with KubeJS — the recipe editor; with GameStages — eras and bridges. Without them, the mod runs without crashing.
Groups. Shared progress for a team: one member’s stage reaches everyone.
Tablet block. The ab_tablet block shows the journal in-world — for a "spawn board".
Layer-based styling. The cyberpunk style is drawn in code over vanilla textures, not replacing them. Vanilla always sits beneath the style; menu and inventory effects can be turned off with one click.
Who it’s for: modpack authors who want their own progression without programming, and players who enjoy structured challenges.
