Minecraft Quest Mode

This idea is perfect for those who like challenges! It's a new gamemode where you can only craft items once the recipe is unlocked, and you only can unlock those recipes after completing certain criteria (Kill a certain boss, achieve a specific advancement, go to a specific biome or dimension,etc)

You would be challenged to play with specific items (not counting decorative blocks that serve no function)  The player partaking in this gamemode would have the choice as to what to accomplish next, but will be aware that their choices affect what they will be able to craft in the future.

This can even be paired with other creative challenges the player(s) themselves come up with

Eventually the player can feel accomplished by unlocking all recipes, being able to finally choose their own destiny (So they can continue to play in their world as if it were survival if they choose.)

This could just be an extra game-rule instead, so that they can choose to have it natively be a hardcore world, or make it as a superflat or buffet custom world for more challenge and/or fun.

This could also give adventure maps more freedom with their design (Instead of it feeling like a linear path, you can get items for recipes they want you to craft later (To represent the character learning something along the "journey"))

They can be fully customizable, meaning a player can change this at any time to suit the needs of their map or personal challenges!

    There would obviously be some sort of reference to tell the player the quest names, the rewards for completing said quests, and how to complete them. Maybe a new menu or reference book item that has a new GUI?

    (It might also be possible to share recipes across players too for a shared multiplayer quest...)

    (And depending on the world, there might be chest loot that can aid you if you find it before unlocking the respective recipe)

    Maybe make it so some quests have or can require multiple criteria, whether they be related or seperate from each other. (More freedom for challenges)

    It's a cool idea, it just seems like that would take way to long to make.

    I think this would be better as a ‘recipe book’ type thing where in order to craft certain items you need to acquire a recipe book for that ‘category’ of items e.g stone tools. These recipes can be found throughout the world by looting chests, killing mobs or trading with villagers to name a few. These recipes are important to move ahead in this difficulty setting and in order to progress, the player has to really make the most of what they have. Either that or it is based around crafting tiers. For example, the recipe for planks, sticks, wood and stone tools, a crafting table and furnace are tier 1. By finding a recipe book they unlock the next level of items which include iron gear, shears, buckets, paper, books, a fishing rod and bow, a fence, glass and also concrete.
