About this Mod
Advancement Enhancement
Enhances your experience with advancements by adding ~50 new advancements, and Mojang's advancements entirely reorganised into relevant tabs or progression paths.
Personally I feel Mojang needs to take more care for the organisation of their advancements, because it has become very messy yet it doesnt take much to tidy it all up using the method I went for.
I'm also not much of a fan of other people's advancement's datapacks because it either just does the same things that Mojang did or adds way too much and becomes overwhelming. So I had to make this datapack to make things tidier and not so overwhelming.
New Features:
- The Adventure Tab is cut into thirds, creating an Adventure tab, Combat tab, and Villager tab.
- The Husbandry Tab is cut in half to seperate Making Friends with animals tab and (mostly) Food tab.
- Most progression paths now go slightly more into depth without it being burdensome whilst also having good flow.
- Several advancements have been moved around to better fit the theme that those advancements involved in.
