About this project

What does Classic Achievements add?

Classic Achievements

Remember the old achievement screen from Minecraft? The one with a whole tree of achievements that you could explore, zoom in on, and follow from one challenge to the next?

Classic Achievements brings that familiar interface back, with a few extra features to make it work better in modern Minecraft.

Instead of the usual advancement tabs, you get a large, scrollable achievement tree. You can move around, explore different branches, check what you have unlocked, and see what is still waiting for you. It also works with advancements added by other mods, so you can keep everything in one place, even in larger modpacks.

The goal is simple: bring back the old achievement screen while making it more comfortable to use.

Features

Classic Achievement Tree

  • A familiar tree-style layout inspired by older versions of Minecraft.

  • Displays completed, available, and locked achievements.

  • Shows achievement icons, titles, descriptions, and connections.

  • Separate tabs for different achievement categories.

  • Supports large advancement trees from modded Minecraft.

Camera Controls

The achievement tree can get pretty large, so you are free to move around and explore it at your own pace.

  • Drag to move around the tree.

  • Zoom in and out using the mouse wheel.

  • Keyboard controls for adjusting the zoom.

  • Reset the camera position and zoom when needed.

  • Camera position and zoom are saved separately for each tab.

Custom Layouts

Not a fan of the default arrangement? You can change how the achievements are organized.

There are three ways to arrange the tree:

  • TREE — a more traditional tree layout, keeping branches organized and easy to follow.

  • AUTO — automatically arranges achievements based on their connections and spacing.

  • Manual Layout — move individual achievements wherever you want.

You can also adjust the spacing between nodes and keep your own layout between sessions.

Search and Filters

Finding a particular achievement can be a pain when there are lots of them. The built-in search and filters make that easier.

  • Search for achievements by name and text.

  • Jump directly to a search result.

  • Search across different tabs.

  • Filter achievements by status: All, Completed, Available, or Locked.

  • Jump to the next achievement that is currently available to unlock.

Bookmarks

Found something you want to work towards later? Add it to your bookmarks.

You can keep a personal list of achievements across different tabs and quickly return to them whenever you need to. Handy for keeping track of things you do not want to forget.

Achievement HUD Tracker

You do not have to keep opening the achievement screen to check your progress.

The HUD tracker lets you follow selected achievements while playing.

  • Track multiple achievements at the same time.

  • See progress for individual criteria.

  • Choose which corner of the screen the tracker appears in.

  • Get a visual notification when a tracked achievement is completed.

  • Completed achievements are automatically removed from the tracker.

Mod Compatibility

Achievements from other mods can be displayed alongside vanilla Minecraft advancements.

Classic Achievements also includes special visual support for Croptopia and Farmer's Delight, with individual background palettes for their tabs.

Other modded tabs can use automatically selected color palettes as well. You can also hide tabs you do not need without removing or changing the actual advancements.

Procedural Backgrounds

Each tab can have its own background style. The mod uses a procedural texture system built from small texture tiles, color palettes, and layered patterns.

This gives different categories their own look instead of using the exact same background everywhere. Generated backgrounds are cached to avoid unnecessary work while playing.

Settings and Backups

Your layout and preferences stay saved between sessions.

The mod keeps track of camera positions, zoom levels, custom achievement layouts, bookmarks, hidden tabs, and tracker settings. It also includes layout export and configuration backups, so you do not have to worry about losing your custom arrangements.


A Little Bit of the Old Minecraft

Classic Achievements is mainly about bringing back something that made exploring Minecraft feel a little different. There is always another branch to follow, another achievement to work towards, or something new to discover.

Whether you are playing vanilla Minecraft or a modpack full of new adventures, there is always room for one more achievement.

Have fun exploring!
