Minecraft: Java Edition achievements
Partly tested127 achievements worth 2,420 points. Confirmed in Minecraft 26.3 (Java): Minecraft, Stone Age and Getting an Upgrade popped up from a real world.
This is the full list of 127 fan-made achievements for Minecraft: Java Edition, added by Vault Launcher, SteamVault's free Windows game launcher. They are unofficial: nobody has to mod the game, and they unlock automatically while you play. Vault Launcher reads the save and replay files the game writes anyway, after you play. It never changes the game or its files.
- Vault reads the advancements file each world saves (saves\<world>\advancements) and never touches the game. Every vanilla advancement becomes a Vault achievement, across all your worlds.
- Works with the official Minecraft Launcher and with Prism, MultiMC, ATLauncher, CurseForge and Modrinth instances.
- Only singleplayer worlds are on your PC. Advancements earned on a multiplayer server are kept by the server.
- Minecraft for Windows (Bedrock) has its own Xbox achievements, so this set is for Java Edition only.
