Update Advancement Quests
by A5ho9999
Update Advancement Quests adds guided quest-style advancements for each Minecraft Java Edition update, so new content is reached through a path rather than found by chance.
What it does
Each new update to the game adds a tab to the Advancements screen. The advancements in that tab form a path based on discovery, where each step points to the next biome, block or item to find. Players who would otherwise rely on the wiki for objectives get the same guidance in-game. The mod is a datapack and mod combination for Fabric and is published for 26.2 and 26.3.
The advancements cover the Sulfur Caves biome, cinnabar and sulfur blocks in stair, slab, wall, polished, brick and chiseled variants, the sulfur spike, potent sulfur water pools, the Bounce music disc and the sulfur spring. Rewards stay vanilla friendly and do not change gameplay. The mod is server required and client optional, so the server must run it while players may leave it out. Installation uses a Fabric build, and a datapack .zip is available for worlds that cannot run the mod. The mod's license is a custom license, and the code is not open source.

How it compares
No Hidden Advancements is a client-side only Fabric option for 1.21.8 – 26.3 under the MIT License, and it is open source. It works on a client alone, so players need it and the server may skip it.
