AD - Advancement Disabler
by ZeioDust
AD - Advancement Disabler turns off the vanilla advancement system, so no advancements are granted, shown or tracked in the game.
What it does
Once installed, the mod removes advancements from the game during server loading, before they are processed, so the advancement system never takes effect. Attempts to grant or revoke an advancement are blocked automatically, and opening the advancement screen shows a simple message stating that advancements are disabled. Pop-ups and progress tracking are not displayed.
Installation needs both sides, since the environment is client and server: the server and every player must run the mod. It is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 32 release versions, 1.12.2 – 1.21.11, and is released under All rights reserved. Its configuration lets a server owner choose which parts of the advancement system are disabled, and namespace filtering lets advancements added by other mods coexist with it.
