Better Advancements in FTB Evolution 2

Same as in the All the Mods 10 8.1 guide

Better Advancements is a client-side-feeling interface upgrade for Minecraft's advancements screen. It is the successor to BetterAchievements, and it aims to improve the look and feel of advancements in a modded environment, where you can end up with a lot of advancement tabs.^[1]

Its scope is cosmetic and quality of life. It doesn't add items, blocks or progression of its own, so it is for anyone who opens the advancements screen and wants it to be easier to read and browse.^[1]

What it changes

• A screen-filling advancements UI instead of the small default window.^[1]
• The option to change the color of advancement icons instead of the default gray, blue and orange.^[1]
• A setting to stop the advancements background from fading on hover.^[1]
• Description boxes that can grow slightly larger, so they are easier to read.^[1]
• The tab title added to the title of the advancements UI.^[1]

Version in this pack

The pack ships Better Advancements 0.4.3.21, the NeoForge build for Minecraft 1.21.1. It has been included since version 2.25 of the pack or earlier.^[2]

Where it fits in progression

Because the mod is purely a UI and quality-of-life tweak, there is nothing to unlock or craft. You can open the advancements screen at any point in your run and get the improved layout straight away.^[1]

Unverified The sources don't say whether this pack changes any of the mod's default settings, so check the in-game options before assuming the defaults for icon colors or hover fading.

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 FTB Evolution 2's own recipes, read from the pack itself: look the item up in the item browser.

There isn't much version history for Better Advancements in this pack. FTB Evolution 2 1.1.0 ships version 0.6.0.76, using the NeoForge build for 26.1.2. The mod was first included in FTB Evolution 2 1.0.2 or earlier.^[3]

0.6.0.76

• The mod's own changelog for this release lists one change: a fix for the Fabric Mixin on 26.1.^[4]
• That fix is for the Fabric build, while the pack ships the NeoForge jar, so it is not a change to anything you see in the pack.^[3][4]
