5) Bountiful mod

RPG mods should have a feature of collecting bounties by doing some tasks. Bountiful mod allows this feature in Minecraft, where one can come across bounty boards that generate tasks and requests within their vicinity. These tasks typically involve retrieving specific items or eliminating designated adversaries, all in exchange for the rewards promised by the bounty. Upon successfully completing a given task, one needs to return to the bounty boards and interact with them to claim their well-deserved rewards.

Additionally, a distinct item known as a Decree exists within this realm that plays a crucial role in determining the types of bounties that appear on a particular bounty board. Similar to other items, bounties themselves can possess varying levels of rarity. Some bounty rewards are scarcer than others, and bounties with higher rarity hold a greater likelihood of yielding these more elusive rewards.

This mod serves as an alternative using commands like /warp and /home, making it useful for Survival Mode, Adventure Maps, and Multiplayer Servers. Players can make Waystones accessible to everyone or limit their availability. Additionally, a customization inventory button can be set up to enable teleportation without requiring additional items.

For Multiplayer Servers and Adventure Maps, global Waystones can be established, providing a consistent teleportation system for all players. Moreover, random Waystones can be generated throughout the world, creating new teleportation points.
