![Replace this with a description](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/aea8fb87daa644150ed280db7ac94e0811fe40bd.png) Welcome to a world where every Minecraft mechanic, food, item, and block is a privilege that must be earned! This project stays entirely within the bounds of vanilla—no superpowers or overpowered features—yet turns the usual progression upside down. Instead of handing you all abilities from the start, it locks them behind advancements. You’ll find yourself exploring alternate paths, delving into dungeons for hidden treasures, and genuinely celebrating each new resource you manage to unlock. What’s more, this project is built to support and showcase [BlazeandCave's Advancements Pack](https://modrinth.com/datapack/blazeandcaves-advancements-pack), featuring over 1000 advancements. Not only does that extensive list prolong gameplay and add extra layers of challenge, but it also serves as a thorough tutorial for newcomers—teaching every major mechanic of Minecraft. Even veterans who’ve mastered BlazeandCave’s before will discover fresh excitement, as the locked mechanics compel you to replay and rediscover Minecraft in a whole new way. If you’re looking for a more demanding survival experience that still feels like pure vanilla, this is it! ## Gameplay Early on, you’ll notice a scoreboard on your screen showing your completed advancements: ![Replace this with a description](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/bba86de47b34955c52a642c6d3e60554f58a69a8.png) By default, you start the game with 1 advancement already unlocked (this acts as a little boost). As you earn more advancements, this counter goes up—so you’ll always know how close you are to unlocking the next ability! In this world, **every ability gradually unlocks** as you complete advancements. You’ll find all available actions—or at least question marks for them!—on the AchieveToDo tab in your advancements screen: ![Replace this with a description](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/e02e4316d0890ffa2d14eb202c744331c9d84143.png) At first, you’ll see mostly *mystery icons*. The core idea is that **you won’t know** which abilities are locked until you try them. For instance, if you **attempt to jump** right after spawning, you’ll discover that jumping is restricted: ![Replace this with a description](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/867f6864ced684465ab84c1b7ef366e669dfb2d4.png) From that moment on, the “Jumping” ability is revealed in AchieveToDo tab, so you can track how many advancements you need to earn in order to unlock it: ![Replace this with a description](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/1d617e917b50185d38d37ea3a4c87b6463257317.png) Once you’ve completed the required 7 advancements, a notification will pop up, proudly announcing **your new power to jump**: ![Replace this with a description](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/9d7bbad5afe45ce4e7664c2cd18333e085a0d815.png) This same process applies to any locked ability—from opening your inventory to breaking blocks—making each unlocked skill feel like a mini-achievement in your journey! ## Resources

## Acknowledgments - This is my first large-scale Minecraft modding project, and it wouldn't have been possible without [Cavinator1](https://modrinth.com/user/Cavinator1)'s [BlazeandCave's Advancements Pack](https://modrinth.com/datapack/blazeandcaves-advancements-pack), which was a huge source of inspiration. - I also want to thank the [Stardust Labs](https://modrinth.com/organization/stardust-labs) team for providing the world generation features for all three dimensions.
