FTB Quest Integration

[lavatrout]

Describe the feature/addition!

Suggestion:
Is there anyway to scan the item requirements for FTB Quests and replace instances of items with the unified resource?

For example, in my case, the quest that requires mekanism:dust_obsidian would instead require create:powdered_obsidian.

Why would like to see this feature/addition?

Don't know if you guys would consider this a bug or a feature request, but I have noticed some compatibility issues with modpacks that have pre-built quests.

Here's one of the exact situations I came across:

1. FTB Quest requires this exact item: mekanism:dust_obsidian
2. Almost Unified collapsed all instances of mekanism:dust_obsidian to create:powdered_obsidian
3. mekanism:dust_obsidian is now impossible to acquire without the use of cheats
4. FTB Quest that requires the mekanism:dust_obsidian is now impossible to complete without the use of cheats

Further issue:
There is also a quest for create:powdered_obsidian, so simply changing the dominant recipe would only create the opposite problem. I could disable powdered obsidian from the united recipes, but that makes me sad :'(. I like the unified recipes. They're super nice.

I don't understand the point of this request. The modpack developer is responsible for configuring the unification and creating the quests. If they set a mod as a priority, then they should also set the quests accordingly.

FTB Quests also allows tags to be accepted, not just individual items. So it shouldn't matter which item of a tag is preferred by Almost Unified.

This request sounds more like an attempt to steal the quests from another modpack and use them for your own modpack without having to do the work of adapting them.

If the issue is that you are playing an existing modpack and the quests do not accept certain items, then that is a problem with the pack and should be reported to its developer, not to us.

Is theft a big issue in the community? Im new here, so i genuinely dont know. I came across this problem while editing an old mod pack and trying to bring it up to version 1.20. Def not posting it anywhere, taking credit for it, etc etc. Just for my own shits and giggles, so i can play my fiance's fav modpack with some of the newer qol features. And the quest book im using came from the original modpack (item errors included).

While i do agree that the modpack author should be concious of what values they put into their quest book, i do know from personally creating modpack questbooks that it can be all too easy to pick the wrong item from the jei integration and map it to a quest - especially if that item has multiple instances of it defined (ie. Powdered Obsidian vs Obsidian Dust). Its also difficult to test the quests without playing through them one by one to ensure that recipes work as intended... i dont actually know if anyone does that or if they just use creative mode to spawn whatever they need to make sure it works in the most basic measure. Having an additional failsafe either built into the almost unified mod or in a support mod would be invaluable.

Either way, i promise im not stealing anything. This modpack is actually the first time ive come across the almostunified mod (which is so awesome btw! - i come from the dictionary days and sorely missed something like this in other modpacks), and i thought that integration with the quest mod would be really neat. I do not mean to submit a big report to either you guys or the original modpack author (as its long abandoned).

I genuinely appologize for the confusion. I dont really know the etiquette here on Git, so im sure ive misstepped somewhere. Ill put on my java pants and see if theres anything i can cobble together to salvage this old modpack's quests. Failing that, i can always just go and rewrite the quest book.
