Vanilla Progression Chaos Cubed Edition
Players who want a quest path through Minecraft survival can use Vanilla Progression, which keeps the game feeling close to vanilla while adding seven ages to advance through.
What it does
Progression stages stay closed until the quests that open them are completed. New tools and materials become available only as the matching stage opens, and crafting and item use are restricted to what the current stage allows.
The quest book is a searchable, parchment-style book that tracks progress automatically. Quests have Common, Rare, Epic or Legendary difficulty with matching XP rewards, and completions show as color-coded messages. The author describes the mod as suited to solo worlds, servers and modpacks, and it keeps the progression book after death.
The mod is built on Fabric and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric only, and the latest one is 1.7.13 for 26.2, dated 2026-08-18. The license is All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Seven progression ages
Quests move players from the earliest material age through the post-End age, one stage at a time, with hundreds of vanilla-focused quests.
Locked tools and materials
New tools and materials stay out of reach until the required quests are completed, and item use follows the same stages.
Quest tracking and pinning
A single quest is pinned at any moment. Once it is finished, the pin moves on and the next available quest is selected.
Searchable quest book
A parchment-style quest book with search and filtering lets players find objectives and check progress across multiplayer play.
