Request for server-side events for clicks in the Advancements GUI

Currently, Minecraft does not provide any server-side event or packet when a player clicks on an item/advancement in the Advancements GUI. This limits plugin and datapack developers who want to create interactive content inside the advancement screen.

Feature Request:

  • Add server-side events or packets for player interactions in the Advancements GUI.

  • Include information about:

    • Which advancement or item was clicked.

    • Whether it was a left click or right click.

    • Optional: additional metadata such as shift-click or control-click if possible.

Use Case:

  • Plugin developers could create interactive menus using the Advancements screen without requiring inventory GUIs or mods.

  • Example: L menu style interactive systems where clicking an advancement triggers specific server actions.

  • This could also enable mini-games, interactive tutorials, or advanced plugin features in a vanilla-compatible way.

Benefit:

  • Allows developers to fully leverage the advancement GUI as an interactive interface.

  • Reduces the need for mods or workarounds for creating clickable menus.

References / Notes:

  • Current limitations: Only the opening/closing of advancement tabs is detectable via packets (ServerboundSeenAdvancementsPacket).

  • This request is fully compatible with vanilla client behavior.
