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 a way to gradually guide new players into Minecraft and give them challenges to complete, similar to the more simple system of achievements in the Legacy Console Edition, Bedrock editions, and New Nintendo 3DS Edition.

Obtaining

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.

When an advancement is obtained, a sliding toast notification displays in the top right corner and a message will be displayed in chat. 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 will make the header text display "Advancement Made!", completing a goal advancement will result in a "Goal Reached!" header and a challenge advancement will give "Challenge Completed!".

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

Each tab has a different background with a repeating texture.

Advancement icons display a header name and description when hovered over. The advancement descriptions are a separate color than the icons themselves, with normal and goal advancements having green descriptions and challenge advancements having purple ones. They only appear in a tree when the advancement before it is completed, although, as stated before, advancements can be completed in any order. Up to 2 advancements are displayed ahead of a completed one.

If the player has not completed any advancements, the interface will show a black background with white text reading "There doesn't seem to be anything here... :(".

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
Regular Completed
Advancement-plain-raw Advancement-plain-worn Normal advancement.
Advancement-oval-raw Advancement-oval-worn Goal advancement.
Advancement-fancy-raw Advancement-fancy-worn Challenge advancement.

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