abc: useless achievements adds a set of achievements whose only goal is completing meaningless tasks, and it is a server-required mod with an optional client part.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalGNU General Public License v3.0 only1.21 – 1.21.9

What it does

Each achievement asks the player to finish a small task that serves no purpose in survival or creative play, and completing it simply records the achievement. Because the server runs the tracking, the server is where the mod must be installed, while a player's client may leave it out.

The mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and also as a data pack for servers. Builds exist for 1.21 – 1.21.9, with 1.0.0+mod for 1.21.9 as the latest file on every loader, released on 2025-12-05. The code is licensed under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and is not open source.

Key features

Meaningless task achievements
Achievements ask players to complete tasks with no practical result, so the reward is the record of having done them.
Server-side tracking
The server records progress for each player, so the achievements stay with the world.
Data pack option
The same achievements can be added through a data pack on servers that do not run a loader.
