Quests are automatic progress tracks with tiered money, rune and key rewards for farming, mining, woodcutting, butchery and fishing on Skyblock.
Quests give you goals for the things you already do on Skyblock and pay out at every tier. Open them with /quests (alias /q). On Skyblock there is nothing to start or select: every unlocked quest tracks your actions automatically and advances as you play.
Each quest is a line such as Wheat Farmer or Iron Miner. A line has 15 tiers (the Fishing lines have 20). Each tier has its own target and reward.
Progress shows as progress/target for your current tier. When you reach the target you are paid the tier reward and move on to the next tier. After the last tier the quest is complete.
You see your progress on the action bar ("Wheat Farmer | 41/80" with a bar), a short quest boss bar for 8 seconds, and a title when a tier or quest completes. Tier messages: "Congratulations! You completed tier 3 of Wheat Farmer!" and "You have completed all tiers of Wheat Farmer!"
New players also see a boss bar reminding them to type /quests.
One button per category with your completed count (Completed: 2/17).
Quests - {category}
Every quest in the category with its icon and state: active, available, completed or locked, current tier, progress, and the rewards of the tier. Locked quests list the requirement you still need ("Meet the requirements shown on this quest first.").
Only your own manual actions count. Work done by robots, collectors, the Farming Collector, hoppers and other automation never advances a quest, and neither do mobs killed by automation.

Quests in the Nether or End count only there and need that dimension unlocked on your island (Island Dimensions (Nether and End)). Butchery lines for mobs beyond Sheep, Blaze and Enderman need the matching mob unlocked in Mob Mastery. Farming and Mining/Woodcutting quests have no Mastery requirement; crops and generator blocks follow their own rules (Crop Mastery, Island Generators).
Every Farming, Mining, Woodcutting and Butchery quest pays this money ladder per tier:
