  1. Hi gang!

    One of the things which I personally like best about the 1.12 update are the advancements. Both the ones you got in the game (just press 'L' and look at 'm, there has been some serious effort put into making that work) and more so the massive way you can customize the whole thing.

    And that brings me to this suggestion... Right now there's one advancement which is impossible for pretty much everyone on the Empire to obtain. And that's "The Next Generation". No, I'm not talking about the Star Trek series but this one:


    Do you know someone who owns a dragon egg? ;)

    I don't think any regular player on the Empire can even remotely hope to ever obtain this advancement, and I think that's a shame. Especially because it's quite obvious that this advancement was meant for single player usage in the first place.

    As such my suggestion: why not replace it with something more doable for us? Just to demonstrate what I'm talking about:


    Now, obviously a dragon stone isn't the best of replacement items, and that's also not my idea. This is simply an example to demonstrate the possibility for replacement.

    Which brings me to the second part of my suggestion, the actual replacement itself.

    Considering how the Wither and Elder Guardian have been changed into EMC custom(ized) mini-bosses, why not do the same for the Ender Dragon? It could be a nice idea to customize its loot table and add a very rare drop (comparable to the DDTT drop from Momentus). For example:


    Then replace the advancement for this item and we got ourselves a cool EMC special advancement which would still be very hard to obtain but at the very least also perfectly doable.


    Some people on some other Minecraft fora get crazy ideas when you show them things like this, so to get this out of the way first: I did not alter any jarfiles. There's totally no need!

    Keyword: namespaces.

    I simply created a custom advancement and put it in the default namespace. Then I named it the same as the official one. So (from the world save folder) I placed it in: data\advancements\minecraft\end\dragon_egg.json. I made sure to rely on the same parent (end/kill_dragon) and that's all she wrote.
  2. -1 that advancement is an incentive to become a millionere and buy an EMC dragon egg from someone who has it.
  3. Dragon Tombs.. Tombs.. Tombs.. Tombs....
  4. Great idea, if possible a whole slew of emc related advancements would be something to look forward to.

  6. The idea of dragon tombs, when it comes, is for a chance to get dragon eggs, we can wait till then with the advancement empty
