Advancements

Advancements can be created with the top level function advancement.
After creating all advancements, you can register them using AdvancementManager#registerAdvancements

Important

Before continuing, make sure to be familiar with Minecraft's advancement format which is used in datapacks, as Nova's way of registering advancements is basically just a kotlin DSL builder for that.

Creating the root advancement

When creating the root advancement, make sure to set a background image and a criterion that is obtained automatically, such as an empty tick.

Example root advancement 
private val ROOT = advancement(ExampleAddon, "root") {
    display {
        icon(Blocks.EXAMPLE_BLOCK)
        title(TranslatableComponent("advancement.example_addon.root.title"))
        description("")
        background("minecraft:textures/block/tuff.png")

        announceToChat(false)
        showToast(false)
    }

    criteria { tick("tick") {} }
}

Advancements for obtaining Nova items

Nova also provided some useful top level functions for creating advancements with Nova items:

  • obtainNovaItemAdvancement
  • obtainNovaItemsAdvancement
Example usage of obtainNovaItemAdvancement and obtainNovaItemsAdvancement 
private val OBTAIN_EXAMPLE_ITEM = obtainNovaItemAdvancement(ExampleAddon, ROOT, Blocks.EXAMPLE_ITEM)

// Advancement for obtaining any dust type
private val DUST = obtainNovaItemsAdvancement(ExampleAddon, "dust", ROOT, listOf(
    Items.IRON_DUST, Items.GOLD_DUST, Items.DIAMOND_DUST,
    Items.NETHERITE_DUST, Items.EMERALD_DUST, Items.LAPIS_DUST,
    Items.COAL_DUST, Items.COPPER_DUST, Items.STAR_DUST
), false)

// Advancement for obtaining all dust types
private val ALL_DUSTS = obtainNovaItemsAdvancement(ExampleAddon, "all_dusts", DUST, listOf(
    Items.DIAMOND_DUST, Items.IRON_DUST, Items.GOLD_DUST,
    Items.NETHERITE_DUST, Items.EMERALD_DUST, Items.LAPIS_DUST,
    Items.COAL_DUST, Items.COPPER_DUST, Items.STAR_DUST
), true)

Registering Advancements

After creating all advancements, you can register them using the AdvancementLoader:

AdvancementLoader.registerAdvancements(ROOT, DUST, ALL_DUSTS)
