Advancements are divided into 5 tabs. Each tab has a tree structure where you must complete parent advancements before children unlock. Challenge advancements have special golden frames and give more XP.

Recommended Completion Order

  1. 1.
    Minecraft Tab (Story) - Start here. Progress naturally from crafting tools to entering the Nether. This unlocks the foundation for all other tabs.
  2. 2.
    Husbandry Tab - Begin early alongside the Minecraft tab. Plant seeds, breed animals, and catch fish as you explore. Many can be done passively.
  3. 3.
    Adventure Tab - Triggers from your first combat. Complete combat-related advancements, trading, and exploration as you play. Save Adventuring Time for later.
  4. 4.
    Nether Tab - After entering the Nether, explore all biomes, visit fortresses and bastions, brew potions, and work toward the Wither and Beacon.
  5. 5.
    The End Tab - The final dimension. Defeat the dragon, find End Cities, get elytra. Save this for when you are well-prepared.
  6. 6.
