Postmortal

Postmortal is a goal advancement in the Adventure tab of Minecraft's advancement system, carrying the in-game description "Use a Totem of Undying to cheat death." It branches directly off Monster Hunter, so that earlier advancement is its prerequisite and must be earned first. The Adventure tab covers advancements focused on exploration, combat, trading, and interacting with the world and its inhabitants. Postmortal was added in Minecraft 1.12 and is still in the 26.2 advancement set.

It is rated Hard difficulty on this site: requires significant effort, rare resources, or dangerous encounters. It is classed as a goal advancement, which renders with the rounded goal frame in the menu and marks a notable objective along the way rather than a trivial step. Nothing else in the tree depends on it, so it is a leaf at the tip of its branch.

In tree terms, Postmortal sits second along its line: the full path from the Adventure root reads Adventure -> Monster Hunter -> Postmortal. That means 2 advancements must be completed before this one becomes available, and Postmortal is one of 47 total advancements in the Adventure tab. It shares its parent with 5 sibling advancements (Monsters Hunted, Take Aim, It Spreads, A Throwaway Joke, and Mob Kabob), all of which open from the same point in the tree.

Postmortal grants no experience directly; its value is progression rather than a point payout.

It is a leaf advancement, so nothing further unlocks from it; it stands as a completed tip of its branch.
