FTB Quest seller
If you run a quest-based economy on your Minecraft server, you already know that rewarding players with coins is only half the battle. The other half is giving them something to spend those coins on. The FTB Quest seller add-on solves that problem neatly: it introduces a single block that buys items from players and pays them in FTB Money. No complicated shop plugin, no sprawling GUI trees, just a block you place down and configure with the items you want to accept.
This add-on is an API extension for FTB Quests, which means it does not work on its own. You need both FTB Quests and FTB Money installed for the seller block to function. Once those dependencies are in place, the mod runs happily on modern Minecraft versions across both Forge and NeoForge loaders, so whether you are building a fresh 1.20.1 pack or maintaining an older 1.19 setup, you can slot it into your modlist without drama.
What the Seller Block Actually Does
At its core, the FTB Quest seller adds one block: the block seller. When a player interacts with it while holding a valid item, the block removes the item and credits their FTB Money balance according to a price you define. That is the entire loop, and it is deliberately simple. There is no stock system to manage, no restocking timers, and no vendor NPCs wandering around your spawn area.
The real flexibility comes from configuration. You can register as many sellable items as you like, each with its own price. Want players to dump stacks of cobblestone for pocket change while paying premium rates for diamonds? That is a two-file job. The block does not care about item rarity, mod origin, or NBT data unless you tell it to.
Supported Versions and Loaders
The add-on targets the same Minecraft versions that FTB Quests itself supports, primarily the 1.16 through 1.20 range, with Forge as the traditional loader and NeoForge support arriving for newer packs. Always match the add-on version to your FTB Quests version, since the API it hooks into changes between major releases.
How to Install FTB Quest seller
Installation follows the standard mod workflow, with one important ordering rule.
- Install FTB Quests and FTB Money first, confirming both load correctly on your client or server.
- Download FTB Quest seller for Minecraft from your preferred mod host, matching your game version and loader.
- Drop the jar file into your mods folder alongside the two dependencies.
- Launch the game once so the config directory generates.
- Edit your item prices in the generated config files, then restart.
If you would rather skip manual file juggling, the foxygame.net launcher bundles FTB Quest seller directly in its add-on catalog, so you can tick a box and let it handle version matching and updates for you. That is a genuine time-saver when you are iterating on a pack and do not want to chase jar files across three different download pages.
Configuring Item Prices
Pricing is handled through JSON files, one per item. The process is quick once you have done it a couple of times:
- Hold the item you want to make sellable in your hand.
- Run the command /getitemname to retrieve its registry name.
- Create a JSON file in gamefolder/config/ftbQuest-BlockSeller/items/ named after that item.
- Add a single line inside: a price field with your chosen value.
That last step is not optional. If the price line is missing, the game or server will crash on load. It is an unforgiving failure mode, but it is also easy to avoid once you know about it. Double-check every file before you restart, especially if you are batch-creating entries for a large modpack.
Practical Tips for Server Owners
Think about your economy before you set numbers. A seller block that pays too well turns mining into a money printer and trivializes quest rewards. A block that pays too little gets ignored entirely. A useful approach is to price items relative to how annoying they are to obtain, then adjust after a week of player feedback. You can also restrict the block to specific dimensions or quest stages using FTB Quests' own gating systems, which keeps early-game progression intact.
Final Thoughts
The FTB Quest seller add-on fills a small but genuinely useful gap in the FTB ecosystem. It gives players a reason to hoard resources, gives server owners a tuning knob for their economy, and does it all with one block and a handful of JSON files. Pair it with FTB Money, configure your prices carefully, and you have a working sell system in an afternoon.
