Advancement name and description bugged with Data Packs.

Issue description

I was testing data pack features, and I discover a bug with custom advancements.

When we create an advancement, we can put a name and a description, but when we are in the game, the advancement name, description and new advancement tab haven't the name. They have advancement.advancementidname.title.

 

P-S: Is it normal we can't test data packs direclty into MCreator?

P-S 2:The new advancement system is really cool, but I suggest you to add to have the "AND" and "OR" procedure block. With this, we will be able to make an advancement when the player will have entered into each biome (or a selection of biome).

I can confirm this bug. Too bad you did not report this when snapshots were there, I will release a patch if other problematic bugs will get found, otherwise this one will wait for 2020.2. Turn on the update notifications if there will be a patch ;)

Yes, Forge bundles Minecraft in it, but data packs are not Minecraft Forge based.

I am not sure this is actually possible. JSON as "programming language" in the vanilla system is quite limited. This is why these triggers are intended for basic use cases, but procedures for more advanced use cases.

AND/OR triggers are sort of doables. Advancements have a "requirements" field, which is a list of lists of triggers. At least one trigger from each list must be completed. So it's more like "(a or b or c) and (d or e) and (f)".

You are right on this one. But the problem is that the definition of AND/OR in JSON is non-linear - not procedural like in normal programming languages, and our procedure editor is linear conversion right now.

I will and plan to improve procedural block editor to support more advanced features of the JSON files, though.

Hm, I see. Would it be doable with something similar to a "if else" block? Something like
"If at least one of"
   criteria 1
   criteria 2
"and at least one of"
   criteria 3
   criteria 4
   criteria 5

Yes, but the translation of your statements to JSON is not linear like with programming languages such as Java where your logical tree of conditions can be translated 1:1 to Java.

We have released a patch update to fix this and a few other bugs:
