 ## Status
 
-Administrators can register persistent shared quest boards by targeting a block within five blocks and running `/questadmin createboard`. Right-clicking any registered board opens a compact native dashboard with dedicated browsing, creation, and claim screens. A player can request a block and quantity while escrowing the exact reward stack held in their main hand. Every board and `/quests list` show the same active quests with requested blocks, rewards, issuers, and time remaining. Players can complete quests at any board or with `/quests complete <quest>` by delivering the required blocks. Exact escrowed rewards are granted immediately, and delivered blocks are held for the issuer. Issuers can cancel their own active quests at any board or with `/quests cancel <quest>`. Completed deliveries and rewards from cancelled or seven-day-expired quests are held durably and can be collected at any board or with `/quests claim`; inventory overflow drops at the claimant's feet.

+## 2026-09-05 — Generated physical quest boards
+
+- Added `/questadmin createboard physical` to generate a five-wide, four-tall board above the targeted ground anchor facing the administrator.
+- Used oak-log pillars, an oak-plank face, and three oak wall signs with obfuscated decorative text.
+- Registered all visible planks and signs in one durable operation and added obstruction checks plus block rollback when construction or persistence fails.
+- Preserved existing single-block board creation and persisted board compatibility.
+- Verified 103 tests and the plugin JAR with `./gradlew clean check jar`.

 ## Acceptance criteria
 
-- [ ] `/questadmin createboard physical` generates and registers a physical quest board while the existing `/questadmin createboard` behavior remains unchanged.
-- [ ] The targeted block is treated as the ground anchor and remains unchanged.
-- [ ] The generated board faces the administrator and is five blocks wide and four blocks tall.
-- [ ] The outer columns use oak-log pillars and the center uses oak planks.
-- [ ] Oak wall signs on the front display decorative obfuscated or gibberish text.
-- [ ] Clicking generated visible planks or signs opens the same globally shared quest-board interface.
-- [ ] Generation requires empty space and refuses to overwrite an existing structure.
-- [ ] Structure generation and interaction-location registration form one failure-safe transaction; failure restores changed blocks and registers nothing.
-- [ ] Generated interaction locations persist across restarts and remain compatible with existing registered boards.
-- [ ] The `physical` argument is offered through permission-aware command autocomplete.
-- [ ] Automated tests verify geometry, facing direction, obstruction handling, rollback, registration, persistence, and autocomplete.
