The Ultimate Progress Guide: BlazeandCave's Advancements

If you feel like you've seen and done everything in Minecraft, BlazeandCave's Advancements Pack will show you how much you've missed. This legendary datapack adds over 1,200 total advancements to the game, providing a massive sense of progression for long-term players.

Features

16 Custom Tabs: Dedicated categories for Building, Farming, Combat, Exploration, Redstone, Mining, Monsters, Weaponry, and more.
Varying Difficulty: Challenges range from "Easy" (chopping your first tree) to "Incredibly Hard" (completing a massive list of endgame feats).
Super Challenges: The ultimate test of skill for veteran players.
Rewards: Includes a built-in scoreboard to track progress and collectible trophies for completing challenge advancements.

Why It's Essential for SMPs

On a multiplayer server, players often reach the "end-game" (killing the Dragon) and then lose motivation. This pack gives them hundreds of secondary goals to chase. It encourages collaboration, trade, and healthy competition between players.

Best For:

Long-term Survival Worlds: Keep players engaged for months or years.
Completionists: Those who love tracking their progress and checking off boxes.
Competition: Host "advancement races" to see who can unlock the most features first.

Updating and Preserving Progress

When a new version of the advancements pack is released, you can update it without losing your players' progress (the scoreboard data is usually stored separately in the world files).

Go to Datapacks: Find the pack in the Addon Browser in Mission Control.
Install Latest: Select the latest version and apply it to your worlds. Fern will replace the internal logic files while your world's progress data remains intact.
Verify: Use /datapack list and /advancement grant <player> everything (only for testing!) to confirm the new tabs are active.
