Advancement Tab Sorter

Quickstart

1. Install the mod and launch Minecraft.
2. Open your Advancements screen (default: L).
3. Hold Left Shift (the default "Pick Up Advancement Tab" key).
4. Click and drag any tab to a new position — you'll see a highlight and ghost preview while dragging.
5. Release to drop the tab in its new slot. Your order is saved automatically.

Overview

Advancement Tab Sorter lets you rearrange the tabs on the vanilla Advancements screen into whatever order suits you. Once you've set your preferred layout, it persists across sessions. No commands, no config file editing, and no extra setup are needed.

What It Adds

• Drag-and-drop tab reordering directly on the Advancements screen.
• Visual drag feedback: a highlighted border on the tab being moved, a translucent ghost preview that follows your cursor, and a tooltip showing the tab's resource ID.
• Automatic order saving: your custom arrangement is written to disk immediately after every change. Tabs from newly installed advancements packs are appended to the end of your existing order automatically.
• A new key bind — Pick Up Advancement Tab — found under Options → Controls → Key Binds in the Miscellaneous category.

How To Use

Reordering Tabs

1. Open the Advancements screen.
2. Hold the Pick Up Advancement Tab key (default: Left Shift).
3. While holding the key, click and drag any tab to a new position along the tab bar.
4. Release the mouse button to place it. The order updates instantly and is saved.

Changing the Key Bind

You can bind any keyboard key or mouse button to "Pick Up Advancement Tab":

1. Go to Options → Controls → Key Binds.
2. Find Pick Up Advancement Tab under the Miscellaneous section.
3. Assign your preferred key or mouse button.

The new binding will be detected correctly while the Advancements screen is open.

Abilities And Mechanics

Progression And Strategy

• Prioritise your most-used trees. Move the advancement tabs you visit most often (like the ones tracking your current goals) to the left so they're always first.
• Group thematically. If you play with multiple advancement datapacks, drag related tabs together so they're easier to scan.
• New packs, no hassle. When you add a new datapack or modpack advancement tree, its tab appears at the end of your existing order automatically — you only need to drag it if you want it somewhere specific.
