+# Quest debugger
+
+The **quests debugger** allows you to see why a quest may not be working
+as intended. When turned on for a quest, it will print out what a task
+type is doing and how it is evaluating it. This can be helpful to see
+why a specific quest is not accepting a specific action.
+
+## Using the debugger
+
+The debugger can be enabled with **/q a debug quest \<quest/\*\>
+\<all/self\>**. Using \* in place of \<quest\> will enable it for all
+quests. Enabling it for all will show debug logs for every player,
+whereas self will show it for just yourself.

+
+## Example
+
+We may want to debug the following task:
+
+``` yaml
+tasks:
+ mining:
+ type: "blockbreakcertain"
+ amount: 30
+ blocks:
+ - DARK_OAK_LOG
+ - DARK_OAK_PLANKS
+ reverse-if-placed: false
+```
+
+When breaking `PACKED_ICE`, the debugger sends this output:
+
+<img src="https://i.imgur.com/2GKba8i.png">
+
+Here it is telling us that the task type is checking the broken block
+against all the blocks in the `blocks` list, and not finding a match,
+thus skipping this task.
+
+Now, when breaking `DARK_OAK_PLANKS`:
+
+<img src="https://i.imgur.com/2nI8uCH.png">
+
+The debugger tells us that it finds a match and increments the task
+progress.
+
+This can be useful when trying to work out why a task may not be
+working, such as in the case where you think you're breaking a block of
+a specific type, but in reality it has a different type.
