Template:Relevant tutorial Advancements are a way to gradually guide new players into Minecraft:Minecraft and give them challenges to complete, similar to the system of Minecraft:achievements Template:In.
Obtaining
Advancements can be completed in any Minecraft:game mode, and are obtained and saved per world. Advancements can also be granted (and revoked) using the Template:Cmd command.
Although advancements guide players logically through the game, they are independent of each other; an advancement can be completed without having completed the advancements "before" it. There are 125 advancements: 16 in the Minecraft tab, 23 in the Nether tab, 9 in The End tab, 47 in the Adventure tab, and 30 in the Husbandry tab.
Notifications
When an advancement is obtained, a sliding toast notification appears in the top right corner. Each notification is accompanied by a Minecraft:chat message, if the game rule Template:Gmr is set to true (i.e., enabled). The color of the header text in the notification depends on the advancement; normal and goal advancements have yellow header text, while challenge advancements have pink header text. Completing a normal advancement causes the header text to display "Advancement Made!", completing a goal advancement results in a "Goal Reached!" header, and completing a challenge advancement shows "Challenge Complete!". In addition, a sound effect plays and Minecraft:experience is rewarded when completing most of these advancements.
Unlike the others, the five "root" advancements in each tab, each of which appears as the left-most advancement in its tab, and have the same name as its tab, do not cause a chat message or notification to appear.
Interface
The button to access the Advancements screen is found on the Minecraft:pause menu screen. The Minecraft:player can also open this screen by pressing Template:Key (this can be changed in the in-game Minecraft:options menu).
The advancement system involves several trees composed of advancements, each tree beginning with a root advancement from which several branches diverge. By clicking and dragging, the player can view different branches of an advancement tree. Each tree is categorized into different tabs, defined by the root advancements. Tabs are not visible if no advancements in the tab have been unlocked. There are five tabs in vanilla Minecraft:
- Minecraft: The heart and story of the game
- Nether: Bring summer clothes
- The End: Or the beginning?
- Adventure: Adventure, exploration, and combat
- Husbandry: The world is full of friends and food
Each tab has a different background with a repeating texture. Tabs appear when at least one advancement in that tab has been made. Tabs are ordered left to right, based on when the first advancement in each tab was made.
Advancement icons display a header name and description when hovered over. The advancement descriptions have a unique color depending on the type of advancement with normal and goal advancements having green descriptions and challenge advancements having purple ones. As more advancements are unlocked, new ones become visible, with up to two advancements being displayed ahead of an unlocked one. Unlocked advancements show all of its direct parent advancements (the advancements between the root advancement of the tab and it), even those that have not been unlocked (but show only up to 2 advancements downstream of advancements already unlocked). Nine advancements, "How Did We Get Here?", "Voluntary Exile", "Hero of the Village", "Arbalistic", "You've Got a Friend in Me", "Smells Interesting", "Birthday Song", "Little Sniffs", and "Planting the Past" are hidden advancements, meaning that they cannot be viewed by the Minecraft:player until they have been unlocked, regardless of if its child advancement(s) (any advancement after it, including all branches), if any have been unlocked, which would normally display its parent advancements (as advancements can be unlocked and completed in any order).
If the player has not completed/unlocked any advancements, the interface shows a black background with white text reading "There doesn't seem to be anything here... :("<ref>Template:Bug</ref>.
The icon frames of advancements can vary in appearance based on difficulty, and whether or not it was completed. A legend is provided below:
| Icon frame | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Incomplete | Completed | |
| File:Advancement-plain-raw.png | File:Advancement-plain-worn.png | Advancement |
| File:Advancement-oval-raw.png | File:Advancement-oval-worn.png | Goal |
| File:Advancement-fancy-raw.png | File:Advancement-fancy-worn.png | Challenge |
Extra advancements and tabs can be added and customized with the use of JSON files and Minecraft:data packs.
