About this Mod

Adds guided quest-style advancements for new Minecraft Java Edition updates.

Minecraft adds new content but rarely commits to more advancements. This fills that empty knowledge gap and achieving thirst with a quest-like tree designed to walk you through new content in-game.

Rather than stumbling across things by accident or reaching for the wiki, each advancement acts as a guide and objective from various new biomes, blocks, crafting and even little notable changes


How It Works

A new tab appears in your Advancements screen for each supported update. Advancements are ordered to form a path based on discovery. Completely vanilla friendly, no rewards or gameplay changes.

Installation

Two versions are available, pick whichever suits your setup

Datapack (.zip) - no mod loader required

  1. Place the .zip in your world's datapacks folder (saves/<world name>/datapacks/)
  2. Run /reload in-game, or re-load into the world
  3. Open your Advancements screen (L) - a new tab will appear

Mod (.jar) - requires Fabric

  1. Place the .jar in your mods folder
  2. Launch the game as normal
  3. Advancements are applied globally across all worlds automatically

It is recommended for clients to have the mod if the server is using it as the mod contains translation files unlike the datapack of raw text
