The following section will list the advancements available as of 1.15.2 and thier implications to Advancement Hunters.

These advancements are (given enough skill) consistently obtainable through the course of the game and should be considered a priority.

Advancement	Conditions	Implications for Advancement Hunters
Minecraft	Obtain Crafting Table	First step to any world.
Stone Age	Obtain Cobblestone	Cobble is known to be the best block in the game.
Getting an Upgrade	Obtain Stone Pickaxe	You had to ruin cobble for this, you monster!
Aquire Hardware	Obtain Iron Ingot	Iron is needed for many advancements and should be a priority.

Not Today, Thank You	Deflect Arrow with Shield	Shields are generally useful and only cost one iron.
We Need to Go Deeper	Enter the Nether	Can be done very quickly using buckets to place lava into a portal frame. Unless this is the only nether advancement you are going for, it is wise to come better prepared than that. As the world is small most players will end up in the same portal. The first in has a major advantage.
Nether	Enter the Nether	Root of the Nether advancement tree and usually obtained immediatly after We Need to Go Deeper.

Take Aim	Shoot something with a Bow	You actually have to hit something for this one. String required for bow.
Hired Help	Summon Iron Golem	36 iron is needed for this, and a carved pumpkin (requiring shears). A use for all that iron you'll find.

A Seedy Place	Plant a Seed	Easily forgotten but very easy.

(Slightly) Randomness Dependent Advancements

These advancements can usually be obtained but sometimes despite best efforts are not gained.

Advancement	Conditions	Implications for Advancement Hunters

The End?	Enter the End	Requires locating a stronghold and opening the end portal.
Uneasy Alliance	Kill a Ghast in the Overworld	A pain to get in normal gameplay but only really needs a fishing rod and a big portal. Requires ghast to be within hooking range, a rare spawning occurance.
The End	Enter the End	Much like "The End?" this is the root of the End advancement tree.
