Advancement



Advancements are an upcoming feature set to replace achievements.

Obtaining
Advancements are completed much in the same fashion that achievements are. They can be completed in any game mode, and are obtained and saved per world. Advancements can also be granted (and revoked) using the 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.

When an advancement is obtained, a sliding toast notification displays in the top right corner. The color of the header text in the notification depends on the advancement; normal advancements have yellow header text, while special "challenge" advancements have pink header text. When a final "goal" advancement is completed, the header text will display Goal Reached! instead of the typical Advancement Made! text.

Interface


The button to access the Advancements screen is found on the pause menu screen.

The advancement system involves several trees composed of advancements, beginning with a root advancement, and ending with goal or challenge advancements. By clicking and dragging, you can view different branches of an advancement tree. Each tree is categorized into different tabs (which are, themselves, advancements). There are currently two tabs in vanilla Minecraft (although more may possibly be added ):


 * Minecraft: The heart and story of the game.
 * Adventure: Adventure, exploration, and combat.

Each tab has a different background with a repeating texture.

Advancement icons display a header name and description when hovered over. They only appear in a tree when the advancement before it is completed, although, as stated before, advancements can be completed in any order. The icon frames of goal advancements are more rounded, while challenge advancements have a sharper appearance. Advancement icons begin as light-gray but turn dark-golden when completed.

Extra advancements and tabs can be added and customized with the use of JSON files, as detailed below.

JSON Format
The advancements in the 'data/advancements' folder of a Minecraft world store the advancement data for that world as separate JSON files:

One of these JSON files is structured according to the following format: For story advancements:
