How to use it
- Pick a tab: Minecraft, Nether, The End, Adventure or Husbandry.
- Tick advancements as you get them, or import your world's advancements file.
- Open the list on multi-part advancements (like Adventuring Time) to see what's left.
- Share your progress with a link, or save it to My Kit.
How it works
The list comes from Java 26.3's own advancement files, including the parent of each one (which builds the tree), its frame, whether it's hidden and every criterion. Adventuring Time alone needs 56 biomes. When you import, the tool reads the JSON file the game writes in your world's advancements folder (one per player, named by their UUID) in your browser; nothing is uploaded. Your ticks are saved in this browser.
Questions
Where is my advancements file?
Open your saves folder, then your world, then the advancements folder. Each player has a .json file named after their UUID. On a server it's in the world folder on the server.
What's the hardest advancement?
How Did We Get Here? (have every potion effect at once) and Adventuring Time (visit every biome) take the longest for most players.
Why can't I see some advancements?
Hidden advancements only show in game after you get them. Tick Show hidden advancements here to see them.
Do advancements work on Bedrock?
Bedrock has achievements instead, with different names and goals. This tracker covers Java Edition advancements.
Do advancements give rewards?
Some challenges give experience, and the tree unlocks no items. They're mainly a guide to everything the game has to offer.
