BlazeandCave's advancements pack is one of the first advancement datapacks ever created and is also one of the largest and most feature-packed, originally being published on Planet Minecraft in 2017 and being continuously updated throughout the years.
It adds over 900 new advancements to your world so you have some extra challenges to do in your survival world.
The current version requires Minecraft 1.19.
Notable features:
- Over 900 new advancements!
BlazeandCave's Advancements Pack adds over 900 new advancements to your world, bringing the total up to 1047, which brings numerous new challenges to your survival world or a competitiveness to servers. Some new advancements are inspired by various existing pre-1.12 achievements as well as achievements that are exclusive to the Bedrock or Console editions of Minecraft. Many are purely original ideas of my own or of other people (see extra credits section). You may find a list of advancements here.
- 16 Advancement Tabs in total!
All five of the tabs in vanilla advancements have had many more advancements added to expand upon what was already there, and many new advancement tabs have been added for more specific categories.
BlazeandCave's Advancements - Contains a few basic advancements that start you off in a brave new world, as well as all the milestone advancements, which keep track of how many advancements have been obtained in each of the other tabs.
Mining - The mining-related advancements from the vanilla tab "Minecraft" have been taken and expanded upon greatly into the "Mining" tab with more advancements relating to each of the different ores and what you can do with them.
Building - A brand new tab that is all about crafting and building using various blocks.
Farming - The vanilla "Husbandry" tab has been split up into the Farming and Animals tabs. The Farming tab focuses on crops and various plants in Minecraft.
Animals - The Animals tab is largely about breeding, slaughtering and taming animals in Minecraft, and fishing.
Monsters - A brand new tab that takes some of the monster-related advancements from the vanilla "Adventure" tab and expands upon them greatly with unique advancements and challenges for nearly every monster in Minecraft.
Weaponry - A brand new tab that is about weapons, both conventional and unconventional.
Biomes - A brand new tab that contains advancements relating to various biomes, including the ocean.
Adventure - The vanilla "Adventure" tab has been expanded upon greatly with more advancements relating to exploration, villages, trading, raids, and various structures like the ocean monument and woodland mansion.
Redstone - A brand new tab that is all about crafting and using various redstone components.
Enchanting - A brand new tab that is all about enchanting items.
Statistics - A brand new tab that keeps track of various statistics.
Nether - The vanilla "Nether" tab has been expanded upon greatly with more advancements relating to the fiery dimension and the monsters and structures within.
Potions - The potion-related advancements from the vanilla "Nether" tab have been expanded upon in this tab containing more advancements relating to many of the different potion effects.
The End - The vanilla "The End" tab has been expanded upon greatly with more advancements relating to the dark, barren dimension and the monsters and structures within.
Super Challenges - Contains the most difficult advancements in the datapack. Many of these test the limits of what can be done in Minecraft.
- Advancement scoreboard
There is a built-in scoreboard that will count how many advancements you have obtained so far in your world. Great for seeing your progress or for competing with your friends!
- Item Rewards and Trophies given via functions
Item rewards give you a little bonus for completing many of the advancements, while trophies are special decorative items that are awarded for completing many challenge advancements. These features can both be separately toggled on and off (see below).
- Cooperative Mode
An option that can be toggled on, cooperative mode makes it so that advancements are shared across all players on a world, allowing you to work together to complete advancements. This is best used in worlds with a small number of players that work closely together.
- Teams
If you wish to compete in groups, you can join teams and have your scores get added up and contribute to your team.
To join a team, use the following command:
/team join bac_team_<colour> <player's name>
You can press tab after typing in bac_team_ to see the list of teams.
- Full translation support
All advancements are fully translatable using the BACAP Language Resource Pack - currently Spanish, Russian, French, German, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Ukrainian, Pirate Speak and LOLCAT languages are supported. Download and details on how to help translate are below.
Installation:
1) Unzip the compressed folder that you downloaded. Inside should be this read me document and a folder labeled "bac_advancements"
2) This step depends on if you wish to install the datapack in a brand new world or in an existing world.
- For a new world: You can click the "Data Packs" option when creating a new world. Upon doing this, either open the world folder and copy in the "bac_advancements" folder, or click and drag the "bac_advancements" folder directly into the menu. Once it is imported, mouse over the icon for BlazeandCave's advancements pack so an arrow appears, then click the arrow to load the datapack.
- For an existing world: Click on the world in the singleplayer menu, then click "Edit", then "Open World Folder". Then go into the "datapacks" folder, and copy and paste the the folder labeled "bac_advancements" from the download here.
3) Go into the world. A message should pop up saying you are using BlazeandCave's advancements pack. If not, check your advancements menu. You should see the custom tab named "BlazeandCave's Advancements"If you forgot to load the datapack when creating from a new world, type the command: /datapack enable "file/bac_advancements"
Configuration:
The advancements pack can be easily configured using the config menu, which can be displayed by running the following command:
/function blazeandcave:config
Using the config menu you can:
- Toggle on and off item rewards, trophies, and the welcome message by simply clicking their checkboxes.
- Toggle whether advancement completion messages will display for each different advancement tier.
- Display the advancements scoreboard on the tab list and/or sidebar. You can also clear it from there.
- Update the advancements scoreboard for all players online.
- Enable Cooperative Mode.
Warning: The config menu will not open if you do not have operator permissions. This includes if you are playing on Hardcore mode. To gain operator permissions in singleplayer, click "Open to LAN" then click "Allow Cheats" so that it is set to ON.
For advanced information on what you can do with the config menu, please read this document.
Updating to newer versions:
The Advancements Pack will be updated for later Minecraft versions and snapshots to add more advancements or fix bugs. Here is how to safely update to newer versions:
1) Make a backup of your world for safety if you screw anything up
2) Leave your world for more safety and don't go in during the process
3) Delete the old datapacks COMPLETELY from your world
4) Copy and paste in the new updated datapacks
5) Go into your world
6) If you screwed up, go to your backup, make a backup of your backup, then repeat steps 2-6 on the backup.
WARNING: If you are updating from a Minecraft 1.16 world to 1.17, a large number of advancements' progress will reset. This is intentional as part of some internal overhauls. Please consult this document before updating and make note of your personal progress on each advancement that is listed to reset.
Then, once you have updated the world and datapack to Minecraft 1.17/ BACAP 1.12, you may use commands to re-grant those advancements.
Alternative versions:
BlazeandCave's Advancements Pack 2
Infinity Snapshot Version
The aim of the Infinity challenge is: Complete as many advancements as you can in BlazeandCave's Advancements Pack, but you are only allowed to use random dimensions to achieve this. So no using anything in the overworld, nether or the end. For minimal exposure you could even make the overworld be a superflat world with nothing in it.
You may build a 'base' in the overworld for things like farms as well as all your portals there (since returning through any portal brings you to the overworld) or you could have one portal in the overworld which leads to a 'home dimension' where your base and all your portals are. Seriously, try the 'home dimension' idea out, there are some nice-looking dimensions out there! :D

Troubleshooting
I cannot guarantee compatibility with any other datapack. This datapack modifies the vanilla advancements so if any other datapack(s) you attempt to use alongside this datapack relies on or also modifies the vanilla advancements there may be compatibility issues.
