Challenge Advancements

by Haunted_Magma

Challenge Advancements is a Decoration and Adventure mod that adds a collection of custom advancements to reach in the mid and late game, each with a unique reward item.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalAll rights reserved1.21 – 26.3

What it does

The advancements appear in the game under a Challenge Advancements tab, marked by a green book. The set includes thirteen advancements, two of which are hidden until earned so their conditions stay unrevealed. One reward, the Acquired Taste advancement, gives a bundle of music discs carrying songs that cannot normally be played on a jukebox in survival.

Other rewards include items tied to the advancements, such as the Alpha Chrysopoeia, Dragon Fish, Wet Hands and Pokopoko entries. Because of technical limits, a single song cannot be placed on its own disc, so the discs come from a datapack that uses the jukebox song experimental setting. Custom discs lose their sound events once the datapack is uninstalled, which means the songs stop playing in that case.

Installation runs on a Fabric, Forge, NeoForge or Quilt server, with the server required and the client optional. Files are published for 1.21 – 26.3 across 17 release versions, and snapshot builds are published as well. The latest file for every loader is 1.3-26.3+mod for 26.3, dated 2026-09-23. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.

Key features

  1. Mid and late-game goals

    A set of custom advancements that players can reach after the early stages of a world.

  2. Unique reward items

    Each completed advancement grants a reward item, including a bundle of music discs for the Acquired Taste advancement.

  3. Hidden advancements

    Two of the thirteen advancements stay hidden until a player earns them, so their requirements are not listed in the tab.

  4. Lightning and potion triggers

    A player earns one advancement whenever a lightning bolt hits a spot no more than three blocks away, and a second one posts a chat message once the player has consumed an invisibility potion.
