Better Advancements

Successor to BetterAchievements for the new advancements system in minecraft 1.12+

Better Advancements tries to improve the UI and UX for the advancements system in minecraft 1.12+ in a modded environment.

This mod's scope is cosmetic and Quality of Life. For modpack creators, I suggest looking into Triumph if you are creating a pack with custom advancements.

In the future it'll also contain extra features for modders to use, if you are a modder and have a request feel free to make an issue on the tracker.

If you aren't a modder, but have a feature request. Whether it is a visual or functional tweak, feel free to make an issue as well.

Features
- Screen filling UI (instead of the tiny one used by ants) (Examples)
- Change the color of the advancement icons (instead of the default gray, blue and orange)
- Adds setting to stop fading of the advancements background on hover
- Description boxes can grow slightly larger, so they are easier to read
- Adds title of tab to title of advancements UI

Also available for Fabric for 1.18.2+

Mythiq.net hosts no files for it. The download button goes straight to the release file on cdn.modrinth.com, so you are downloading from the author's own host, not from a copy of ours.

The download count, rating and comments on this page start at zero and count Mythiq.net only. The source's own figures are not copied here — they measure a different site, and a number that cannot be checked against our own ledger is not worth printing.

MOD LOADER

This release is built for Forge. A mod built for one loader will not load under another — Fabric mods do not run on Forge, and vice versa.

GAME VERSION

Built for Minecraft 26.3. Minecraft mods are tied to an exact version: a 1.21.4 build will refuse to load on 1.21.5.

DEPENDENCIES

Check the author's listing for required libraries before you start the game — a missing dependency shows up as a crash on launch, not as a warning.

1. Install Forge for the Minecraft version you play, if you have not already.

2. Download the .jar with the button on this page. Do not unzip it — a mod jar is installed as it is.

3. Put it in your mods folder:

Windows — %APPDATA%\.minecraft\mods

macOS — ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/mods

Linux — ~/.minecraft/mods

4. Launch the game with the Forge profile selected.

ON A SERVER

Anything that changes world generation or gameplay has to be installed on the server as well as on every client. Client-side visual and interface mods do not.

UPDATING

Replace the old .jar rather than adding the new one beside it. Two versions of the same mod in the folder is a crash on launch.
