This feature is exclusive to Java Edition.
Advancements are a way to gradually guide new players into Minecraft and give them challenges to complete, similar to the basic system of achievements in Bedrock Edition.
Advancements can be completed in any game mode, and are obtained and saved per world. Advancements can also be granted (and revoked) using the /advancement 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 110 of them: 16 in the Minecraft tab, 24 in the Nether tab, 9 in the The End tab, 35 in the Adventure tab, and 26 in the Husbandry tab.
The button to access the Advancements screen is found on the pause menu screen. The player can also open this screen by pressing L (this can be changed in the in-game 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 (which are defined by the root advancements). Tabs are not visible if no advancements in the tab have been unlocked. There are currently 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
