(Better) Shared Advancements
by boyonk
Better Shared Advancements, by boyonk, lets a server share advancement progress across a whole team, so every member of a team sees the same achievements.
What it does
Advancements earned by one member of a team are granted to the rest of that team, and an unteamed player can share with other unteamed players. The sharing works on a server whether players are online or offline, and a configurable setting can make every player share with everyone. Team sharing and the other behaviour are toggled in the config, which the server owner can change at any time.
Advancements without a display, such as technical ones used to manage recipes, are shared by default so that datapack triggers keep working. Creative and spectator players can be excluded, so they do not interfere with a group. Only the player who gains an advancement receives the group chat message announcing it, while every player still gets the toast notification. Better Shared Advancements requires Fabric API. It is server-side only, so players join without installing it, and files are published for Fabric only, for game versions 1.21 – 1.21.9.
Key features

Shared progress is kept for players whether they are logged in or not, so a team keeps every achievement it has earned.
Configurable sharing
Options let the server owner choose global sharing, team sharing and which advancements are included, all from the config.
Hidden technical advancements
Advancements without a display are shared without being shown to players, so recipe and datapack triggers still work.

How it compares
Shared Everything is a Fabric, server-side mod for 1.21.1 under the MIT License, and it is not open source. Team Ender Chest is also Fabric and server-side, for 1.21.4, and is open source under the MIT License, but it shares storage rather than advancements. Only Vanilla Advancements is Fabric and server-side for 1.21 – 1.21.10, open source under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, and it limits the advancement list instead of sharing progress.
