Better Advancements in All the Mons

Same as in the All the Mods 10 2.12 guide

Better Advancements is a small but handy upgrade to the vanilla advancements screen. It improves the look and usability of the advancements menu, and it's built for modded setups where the screen has a lot more to show than in vanilla.^[1]

The mod is purely cosmetic and quality of life. It doesn't add blocks, machines or new things to unlock. It changes how you browse the advancements you already have, so there's nothing to craft or set up before you can use it.^[1]

What it changes

• The advancements UI fills your whole screen instead of using the small vanilla window, so you can see much more of each tab at once.^[1]
• You can change the colors of the advancement icons instead of the default gray, blue and orange.^[1]
• A setting can stop the background from fading when you hover over an advancement.^[1]
• Description boxes can grow a little larger, which makes them easier to read.^[1]
• The name of the tab you're viewing is added to the title of the advancements screen.^[1]

Who it's for

If you open the advancements screen to check your progress or see what's left to do, this mod makes that much easier. With so many mods adding their own advancement tabs, the bigger screen and clearer descriptions save you a lot of squinting and scrolling.^[1]

Good news: Better Advancements doesn't ask you to craft anything or hunt for a special item. It's a cosmetic and quality-of-life mod that improves the advancements screen, so your first steps are just about opening that screen and seeing what's different.^[1]

What changes when you open the advancements screen

• The advancements UI fills the whole screen instead of the tiny default window.^[1]
• You can change the color of the advancement icons, instead of the default gray, blue and orange.^[1]
• There's a setting to stop the advancements background from fading when you hover over it.^[1]
• Description boxes can grow slightly larger, so they're easier to read.^[1]
• The title of the current tab is added to the title of the advancements UI.^[1]

That's the mod's whole scope. It tidies up how advancements look and read, and it doesn't add gameplay content of its own.^[1]

Unverified I found no recipes, quests or in-game tooltips tied to Better Advancements in this pack, so there's no crafting order to follow and no recipe block for this section. This site does hold All the Mons's own recipes, read from the pack itself: look the item up in the item browser.

This mod doesn't add machines, multiblocks, power, fluids or item automation. Better Advancements is a cosmetic, quality-of-life mod that reworks the screen you use to browse advancements in a modded game. Instead of new systems, it makes the existing advancements screen easier to use.^[1]

What changes on the advancements screen

• The advancements screen fills your whole window instead of sitting in the small default box. This gives you more room to see large modded advancement trees at once.^[1]
• Advancement icon colors can be changed from the default gray, blue and orange.^[1]
• A setting can stop the advancements background from fading when you hover over an advancement.^[1]
• Description boxes can grow slightly larger, so longer advancement descriptions are easier to read.^[1]
• The title of the tab you're viewing is added to the title of the advancements screen, so you always know which tree you're in.^[1]

The mod is a successor to BetterAchievements, rebuilt for the newer advancements system. It is purely a display and usability upgrade. It doesn't create custom advancements itself, and the mod author points pack makers who want custom advancements toward a different mod.^[1]

Unverified Where the icon color and background-fade settings live, and what values this pack uses for them, could not be confirmed. No config files for this mod were available for this pack.

There are no config files for this mod in the pack, so nothing here has been changed from the mod's own behaviour. Everything you can adjust is on the mod's side, and it is all cosmetic or quality-of-life, since that is the entire scope of the mod.^[1]

The two settings worth knowing about are the colour of the advancement icons, which lets you replace the default gray, blue and orange, and a setting that stops the advancements background from fading when you hover over it.^[1]

The rest of what the mod does is not optional tuning, it is just how the screen is drawn: a screen-filling UI instead of the small vanilla one, slightly larger description boxes so they are easier to read, and the tab's title added to the advancements window title.^[1]

Unverified The exact names, default values and location of these settings in this version are not confirmed by the sources available for this section.

Better Advancements has been in the pack from early on. All the Mons 1.3.0 ships version 0.4.3.21, using the NeoForge build for Minecraft 1.21.1, and the mod was first included in All the Mons 0.3.0-beta or earlier.^[3]

Version 0.4.3.21

The mod's changelog for 0.4.3.21 lists one change: the config file is now created for Fabric if it doesn't exist. It's a Fabric-specific entry, and this pack uses the NeoForge jar.^[3][4]

Unverified No All the Mons pack changelog entries about Better Advancements were available, so any pack-level changes to this mod across releases are unverified.
