The system as a whole is called "advancements", which is aimed at guiding & tracking players progress through the game (in vanilla survival and any custom additions by mapmakers or mods). Most advancements are literally just that - an advancement through the game.

Dinnerbone on the advancements system[1]
AdvancementMade

The popup that appears when an advancement is completed.

GoalReached

The popup that appears when a goal advancement is completed.

ChallengeComplete

The popup that appears when special challenge advancements are completed.

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 /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.

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

AdvancementsInterface

The advancements interface. One advancement ("Isn't It Iron Pick") is selected.

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 four tabs in vanilla Minecraft (although more may possibly be added[2][3]):

  • Minecraft: The heart and story of the game.
  • Adventure: Adventure, exploration, and combat.
  • Nether: Bring summer clothes.
  • The End: Or the beginning?

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.

Despite using [[Iron Ingot|iron]] in its crafting recipe, shears cannot be smelted into [[iron nugget]]s.<ref>{{bug|MC-111738}}</ref>

===Trading===

Novice-level Shepherd [[villager]]s have a 40% chance to sell shears for 2 [[emerald]]s in Java Edition. This trade is always offered in Bedrock Edition.

===Chest loot===

{{LootChestItem|shears}}

==Usage==

===Shearing===
Shears lose 1 [[durability]] when used to shear something.

Shears can be {{Control|use|text=used}} on a [[sheep]] to remove its coat and drop 1–3 [[wool]] of the corresponding color. The same sheep can be sheared again after it eats from a [[grass block]] to regenerate its coat.

Shearing a [[mooshroom]] drops 5 [[mushroom]]s of the corresponding color and irreversibly turns it into a normal [[cow]].

Shearing a [[snow golem]] irreversibly removes its pumpkin, dropping it and revealing its face.

Shearing either a [[beehive]] or [[bee nest]] that is full of honey makes it drop 3 [[honeycomb]]s and resets it to honey level 0. The same beehive or bee nest can be sheared again if it is able to reach full honey again. If sheared by hand without a [[campfire]] below the hive or nest all bees within will exit and all nearby bees will attack the offending player. 

[[Dispenser]]s can use shears in any of the above listed ways, interacting with any valid block or entity in front of the dispenser's face. This decreases the shears' [[durability]]. A dispenser shearing a beehive or bee nest will not anger bees or cause them to leave even if there is not a campfire below it.

Shearing a [[pumpkin]] turns it into a [[carved pumpkin]], dropping 4 [[pumpkin seeds]] {{in|java}} or 1-3 pumpkin seeds {{in|bedrock}}.

{{IN|java}}, shearing the tip of [[cave vines]], [[kelp]], [[weeping vines]], or [[twisting vines]] sets its age value to 25 and stops further growth.

===Breaking blocks===
Shears use 1 [[durability]] when is used to break any block, even if it [[instant mining|breaks instantly]] by hand.

Shears can be used to harvest [[cobweb|cobwebs]], [[leaves]], [[grass|grass, tall grass]], [[seagrass|seagrass, tall seagrass]], [[fern|ferns, large fern]]s, [[dead bush]]es, [[nether sprouts]], [[vines]], [[glow lichen]] or [[hanging roots]] and obtain them in item form. They can also be used to break [[tripwire]] connected to a [[tripwire hook]] without activating it.

When shears are used to break [[Weeping Vines|weeping vines]] or [[Twisting Vines|twisting vines]] they are guaranteed to drop in item form instead of the usual 33% chance. This only applies to vines directly broken by shears and not vines that are broken due to the destruction of their supporting vines.

The following table shows information about blocks that can be broken with shears. Colors indicate what gets dropped when the block is broken:

*White: The original block.
*Blue: The block's normal drop (i.e. string, sticks, seeds, saplings, apples).
*Red: Nothing.

February 16, 2017Dinnerbone tweets that he had spent an entire day designing "a new thing" with Darngeek.
February 20, 2017The design on "this thing" is now done and can begin to be implemented; he later hints at the feature's name.[4]
February 22, 2017He states that he is "advancing" on the feature; "So. Many. Json. Files." he adds.
Later that day he states that the project is growing bigger, and that he may need a command "even more complicated than /scoreboard"
March 06, 2017The backend of the mysterious feature is finished, but the UI needs work, he tweets.
"I made a tabthulhu today," he later adds,[5] indicating this feature may use a large number of tabs.
March 13, 2017He again references the name of the feature in a tweet, stating that he is almost done with "this new feature advancement".
March 14, 2017He tweets that the UI is now working, and that the project took many days and a few research papers to accomplish.
March 22, 2017The feature now "awards players with things", he states while making another reference to the feature name.
March 23, 2017Dinnerbone states that the feature requires around 500 JSON files.
He later tweets a teaser of what the feature holds,[6] though it is hidden behind an encrypted .zip file disguised as a .png image, which he clarifies in later tweets.[7][8][9] This .zip file contains custom recipe JSON files.
He posts another encrypted .zip file soon afterwards, containing a few more recipes.[10]
March 24, 2017"A deafening metallic condor keeps distracting me", Dinnerbone states. Users quickly pinpointed this bizarre message to this Gfycat URL officially showcasing advancements for the first time.
He reveals that the UI can have several tabs with advancement trees that are themselves advancements.[11] He clarifies that that's what he meant by "tabthulhu."[12]
All of the UI is data-driven, including positioning and layout, with no hardcoded data or positions.[13]
17w13aAdvancements added.
17w14aAdded new advancements, including a new "adventure" tab.
Added new notifications for when players advance, which have a sliding effect, and come in two colors: yellow for normal advancements, and pink for special challenges.
17w15aAdded the description of an advancement & changed the title of some advancements.
17w16bAdded trigger minecraft:item_durability_changed.
17w17aAdded new advancements and two new tabs: "The End" and "Nether"
Added trigger levitation.
Added feature condition to the location trigger.
Advancements can now execute commands when achieved.
Advancement icons now allow data values.
Added five modifiers to the /advancement grant and /advancement revoke commands: "everything", "from", "until", "through", and "only".
17w17bThe default advancements now all receive their titles and descriptions from the localization files.
Added a new number display to track progress while completing certain advancements
Added the changed_dimension trigger, which takes two optional conditions: to and from, both being strings that accept "overworld", "the_nether", or "the_end".
The "location" shared object has a new dimension string (same values as above).

Issues

Issues relating to "Advancement" are maintained on the bug tracker. Report issues there.
