Advancement Border
Advancement Border makes each completed advancement widen the world border, so progress in the game also opens new areas of the world.
What it does
Advancement Border ties the size of the world border to the advancements a player finishes. Each completed advancement extends the border, which gives the player a challenge where skill and knowledge decide how far the world opens up. The mod is server-side only, so only the server needs it and players join without installing anything.
The mod's settings are read from a simple configuration file. Amounts of border growth, optional notifications and other options can all be changed, and an automatic world border setup runs when a new world starts. The mod was inspired by videos and data packs that reward progress with more of the world, and it carries that idea into a mod with better performance and compatibility with custom advancements. Its compatibility was tested with BlazeandCave's Advancements Pack.
Advancement Border requires Configuration and Fabric API. Mod Menu is optional. It is published for Fabric only, with 1.1.0+1.21.3 as the latest file for 1.21.4. The code is open source under the MIT License.
