About this Mod
Good Old Achievements
Good Old Achievements is a mod that brings back the legacy Minecraft Achievements that were removed back in 1.12.
What does it do?
It recreates the old Minecraft achievements that ended up getting removed in 1.12 due to the introduction of Advancements. Right now the mod only supports 1.21.1 but we are planning on supporting newer versions.
Why would you get it?
This mod is meant for those who want a blend of both achievements and advancements, what this means is that the mod will not override achievements that have been transferred to advancements. (Getting an Upgrade, The End. (Now called Free The End), etc.)
Extra details
The remade achievements have their own tab labeled "Good Old Achievements" and all of the achievements are properly placed in the tree.
