Frequently asked questions

How do I open the Advancement Book?
Craft the Advancement Book item, then right-click it in your hand to open your advancements GUI. You can also place an Advancement Book Stand in your base and interact with it to view advancements without using an item from your inventory.
What do I need to craft the Advancement Book?
Check your crafting recipe by looking at the mod's in-game recipe viewer or JEI/NEI. The recipe uses common materials and should be straightforward to complete once you have the mod installed.
Can I use the Advancement Book stand in multiplayer?
Yes, the Advancement Book Stand works in multiplayer and shows each player their own advancements when they interact with it. This makes it useful for shared bases where multiple players want to check their progress.
Does the Advancement Book show custom advancements?
The Advancement Book displays whatever advancements are available in your world, including custom advancements added by other mods or datapacks.
Can I put the Advancement Book in an item frame?

Can I track advancements for other players?
The Advancement Book Stand shows each player only their own advancements when they interact with it. You cannot view another player's progress directly through this mod.
Does the Advancement Book work in creative mode?
