AquaBreeder 1.4 - Quest System Update

This update adds the new personal Quest System to AquaBreeder.
Players can now open their own quest menu, accept fishing quests, complete them with matching AquaBreeder fish and receive useful rewards for their progression.

New Quest System

• Added the new /ab quest command.
• Added a new Quest GUI with up to 7 personal quest offers.
• Quest offers are generated individually for each player.
• Only one quest can be active at the same time.
• Active quests can be cancelled with Shift + Right Click.
• Completed quest slots enter a cooldown before a new quest appears.
• Completed slots now show the remaining cooldown time in the tooltip.
• Quest slots automatically regenerate after their cooldown has expired.
• Added manual quest rerolling with cooldown.
• Reroll only affects available quests.
• Active quests are not rerolled.
• Completed cooldown slots are not rerolled.

Fair Quest Generation

• Quest requirements are generated based on the player's Aqua Rod level.
• Low-level players only receive quests they can realistically complete.
• Higher-level players can receive harder quests with better rewards.
• The generator avoids unrealistic jackpot tasks, even for high-level rods.
• Quest requirements can include specific fish species, required rarity and minimum quality.

Quest Rewards

• Added money rewards.
• Added Aqua Rod XP rewards.
• Added better fish rewards.
• Added breeding time reduction rewards.
• Money rewards scale logically with rod level, fish category, rarity and quality.
• Money rewards are limited by the configured minimum and maximum values.
• Aqua Rod XP rewards now scale better for higher rod levels and harder quest requirements.
• Better fish rewards create a baby fish reward with improved rarity and quality.
• Breeding time reduction affects the longest active breeding slot.

Quest Tracking Sidebar

• Added optional quest tracking sidebar.
• The sidebar only appears when the player has an active quest, quest tracking is enabled and the player holds their own Aqua Rod.
• The sidebar disappears automatically when the Aqua Rod is no longer held.
• The sidebar can be disabled or enabled in the Quest GUI.
• The sidebar is intentionally compact to avoid taking too much screen space.
