DadJoke Achievements
by belcher.jon
DadJoke Achievements posts pun-based chat messages when players reach common in-game milestones, such as mining deep slate or crafting basic tools.
What it does
Each achievement fires on a specific action, such as punching the first log, crafting a sword or placing a furnace, and shows a custom advancement notification. A matching joke is then sent to the global server chat at that exact moment, so every player on the server sees it. The author notes say the furnace achievement only works in an alpha build.
The mod is aimed at solo play, where it keeps a player entertained during routine tasks, and at multiplayer servers, where the same jokes reach everyone together. A comedy book can be crafted in-game to browse the jokes and unleash them when friends or siblings least expect it.
Installation requires NeoForge. Files are published for 1.21.8 only, with 1.0.0 as the latest NeoForge file, released on 2026-05-28 on the alpha channel. The mod runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it, and it is released under All rights reserved, which means it is not open source.
