Advancement/JSON format

Custom advancements in data packs of a Minecraft world store the advancement data for that world as separate JSON files.

File format
All advancement JSON files are structured according to the following format.

Legend

 * * : If parent field is written, this field is required.


 * The root tag.
 * : Data related to the advancement's display.
 * * : Object containing data for the advancement's icon.
 * * : The item's ID.
 * : A string containing SNBT that may modify the item's appearance on the icon.
 * * : A JSON text component for the title of this advancement.
 * : Type of frame for the icon. challenge for Advancement-fancy-raw.png, goal for Advancement-oval-raw.png, task for Advancement-plain-raw.png. Defaults to.
 * : The directory for the background to use in this advancement tab (used only for the root advancement).
 * * : A JSON text component for the description text of this advancement.
 * : Whether to show a toast to the player when this advancement has been completed. Defaults to.
 * : Whether to announce in the chat when this advancement has been completed. Defaults to.
 * : Whether to hide this advancement and all its children from the advancement screen until this advancement have been completed. Has no effect on root advancements themselves, but still affects all their children. Defaults to.
 * : The parent advancement directory of this advancement. If absent, this advancement is a root advancement. Circular references cause a loading failure.
 * * : The criteria to be tracked by this advancement.
 * : The key is a unique name given to the criterion.
 * See below for details.
 * : Defines how these criteria above are completed to grant the advancement. Contains sublists, which in turn contain names of criteria from this advancement (all the s). When a criterion is newly completed or revoked, the advancement is granted if all sublists have at least one criterion within them completed. Optional, defaults to requiring all criteria completed.
 * Sublist within, contains strings of s. If a sublist is empty, the advancement is unachievable without cheats.
 * A criterion name.
 * : An object representing the rewards provided when this advancement is obtained.
 * : To unlock recipes.
 * The resource location of a recipe.
 * : To give items from loot tables to the player.
 * The resource location of a loot table.
 * : To give an amount of experience. Defaults to 0.
 * : To run a function. Function tags are not allowed.

Display
Within the root tag of an advancement JSON object, the object and the  string, both optional, are related to the display of the advancement.

If the tag is present, it must have the,  and  fields present in order to be considered as valid advancement display data.

The field, albeit not directly associated with the display data of an advancement, affects only the display data effectively. When an advancement does not have a display data and none of its children has a display data, the parent of the advancement only affects usage.

Advancement tabs
Creating a root advancement (no ) with valid data automatically creates a tab in the advancement menu. When loaded, the root advancement shows as a tab in the menu when any advancement in its advancement tree is granted to the player viewing the menu.

The missing texture displays on the tab's background if the root advancement does not have a background.

If a root advancement successfully creates a tab, child advancements of the root will show inside of that tab, provided they also have valid data.

Positioning
The game automatically arranges advancements, position them when it loads advancements from data packs, and sends the arrangement to the client. Each advancement has an arrow from its closest visible ancestor (i.e. if its parent does not have a display, it has a link from its grandparent, and so on). The root advancement appears on the leftmost column while each arrow points to an advancement in the next column. The arrangement of advancements within a column is based on file name.

Lack of display
Some advancements, such as the vanilla recipe unlocking advancements, may lack a display so that they can utilize triggers and rewards instead of excessive commands or functions for more functionalities and a more flexible control. These advancements should not have the field defined in order to hide from users and enjoy a better loading performance.
