Definitely a lot better than vanilla

Ranks only ever go up; points can drop but your rank stays.
About reputation ranksThis mod it's a significant improvement to the advancement screen GUI in vanilla and is a must for packs that focus on using the advancement tree to track progression. This mod is also just nice for playing vanilla or in servers with custom advancements as it can work entirely client side.
This mod still does lay out advancements in the same way as vanilla however, always from left to right, meaning if one advancement leads to many more it'll take up a lot of vertical space. It would've been nice to have an option to view advancements radially so they took up less space.
I would recommend this mod for packs that do want to use advancements, but if you want more features you probably need a full questing mod.
