What it does

The data pack adds an advancement that is awarded when a player kills a Warden. The advancement is set to hidden, so it does not show in the advancement screen until it is earned. The setting is a single value in a JSON file, and changing it is the only change needed to show the advancement from the start.

The mod runs on the server, and it is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with a data pack version for server platforms. Builds cover 1.19 – 26.1.2 on twelve release versions, and the latest file is 1.0.8+mod for 26.1.2. It is released under the MIT License and is open source.

Key features

  1. Warden kill advancement

    An advancement is granted when a player defeats a Warden, adding a goal to the advancement tree.

  2. Hidden advancement

    The advancement stays hidden until earned, and a single value in the JSON file changes that behavior.

  3. Editable JSON file

    The advancement is defined in a JSON file, so server owners can change its settings without other tools.

What the author says

This datapack is pretty simple and self-explanatory. It is a datapack that adds an advancement for killing the warden. If you'd like to hide the advancement the hidden value has been left in the json file for ease of access, change line 9 from "hidden": false -> true and it should hide the advancement.
