## [1.5.3] - September 3rd, 2026 A major navigation and quest-reliability update. Quest markers are clearer and more customizable, map integration is more dependable, and numerous quest logic issues have been corrected. ### Added * Redesigned quest markers with a compact diamond icon, ground ring, nearby labels, and an optional screen-edge indicator for off-screen objectives. * New marker styles, visibility options, high-contrast colors, reduced motion, label controls, and separate JourneyMap/Xaero toggles. * New `/mcaquestsclient waypoints` command for checking and troubleshooting map integration. * Additional validation for invalid tags, locations, structures, dimensions, and improperly configured cure quests. ### Improved * Quest markers and map waypoints now update immediately when quests are accepted, progressed, followed, completed, failed, or abandoned. * JourneyMap integration now uses its official API. Persistent player-created quest waypoints survive restarts, while duplicate JourneyMap world markers are hidden. * Xaero waypoints are now clearly identified as session-only and rebuild correctly after dimension changes or reloads. * Waypoint failures are retried automatically instead of silently remaining broken. * Quest marker colors are now more colorblind-friendly. * Several difficult quests now have clearer directions, fairer enemy requirements, larger objective areas, or more forgiving retry rules. * Kill objectives now properly credit indirect kills, including those caused by pets, TNT, environmental damage, or recently attacked enemies. ### Fixed * Quest markers appearing high above their targets or twitching as entities moved. * Stale or incorrectly colored waypoints after changing dimensions or objective types. * Clearing automatic waypoints also deleting player-pinned JourneyMap waypoints. * Players accepting the same standalone quest from multiple villagers and receiving duplicate rewards. * Quests remaining tied to villagers who died while the player was offline. * Defend objectives sometimes missing valid kills when the protected villager briefly unloaded. * Contributing to one village project incorrectly blocking contributions to every other project. * Project rewards disappearing when their sponsor died or was unavailable. * Reward failures completing silently without informing the player. * The cure-an-infected-relative quest being offered when the relative was healthy. * The Fisherman’s rain quest failing simply because the weather changed. * Several Townstead quests with incorrect items, missing availability checks, or overly demanding objectives. ### Compatibility * Network protocol updated to **14**. All players and servers must use MCA: Quests 1.5.3. * JourneyMap **6.0.0 or newer** is required for JourneyMap waypoint integration. * Existing saves and quests do not require migration.
