Advancement Plaques
by Grend
Advancement Plaques swaps the small advancement popups for larger glowing plaques that appear along one edge of the screen.
What it does
When a player earns an advancement, the mod shows a plaque instead of the standard toast. The plaque can be limited to the Task, Goal or Challenge advancement types, and it can be placed at the top or bottom of the screen with an adjustable distance from the edge. A whitelist option lets a player or pack maker show plaques only for chosen advancement IDs.
The mod works with any advancement, including those added by other mods, and its look can be changed with resource packs. The card names Embellished Stone as an example pack. Some other mods that change advancement popups may not work with it. Required dependencies are Fabric API and Iceberg, and Prism is an optional dependency. Builds span 24 release versions for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, covering 1.12.2 – 26.3, licensed under Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial No Derivatives 4.0, which is not open source. The source code and issue tracker are public.
Advancement Plaques runs client-side only on Fabric. On Forge and NeoForge the installation needs the server as well when the sound effects are enabled, and disabling them in the config lets the mod run on the client alone. Iceberg is required on every loader.

What the author says
R eplace those boring, anti-climactic advancement popups with fancy glowing plaques. This mod adds new custom sounds, which (due to a limitation in Forge) means it needs to be installed on both the client and server. If these sounds are disabled in config, this mod can be run on just the client side.
