Only Vanilla Advancements
by cintreck
Only Vanilla Advancements is a server-side Fabric utility that removes advancements added by other mods and datapacks, so the advancements screen shows only vanilla entries.
What it does
On each server start, after a successful data pack reload, the mod filters out advancements that do not come from the minecraft namespace. Entries from other mods and datapacks are removed, and the vanilla tab layout is kept without orphaned or stacked entries. The filtering runs only at load and reload, so it adds no tick cost during play.
A simple TOML config lets server owners keep advancements from specific mods by their advancement IDs, and can optionally keep parent advancements so the remaining entries stay intact. The mod works in singleplayer through the integrated server, on dedicated servers, and alongside Mod Menu and Cloth Config when they are present. It requires Fabric API, which must be installed with it. The code is released under CC0 1.0 Universal, which is open source, and the source code and issue tracker are public. Files cover 1.21 – 1.21.10, with 1.0.1+1.21.x for 1.21.10 as the latest, published 2025-10-02.
