Game Stages
An API for adding stages, for modpacks and other mods to use!
About this Mod
This mod provides a framework for creating progression systems in modpacks. These progression systems are based on stages which are player specific flags used to track their progress. Using other mods and addons you can configure the game to react differently to a player depending on the stages they have unlocked. While the term stage may imply a linear progression they can be used for virtually all types of progression systems. Some common examples of this include using stages for RPG classes and skills, Pack modes (expert, hardcore, easy), and branching quests.
For specific information on how to use GameStages, please refer to the GitHub page that matches with the version of the mod you are using. You can also join my Discord server for help and further discussion. You can find a list of all mods that support GameStages here.
