Advancement counts by version

The rulebook gives the full list for each version, and the count keeps rising: 55 advancements for 1.12, 80 for 1.16, 114 for 1.20.5 and 1.20.6 and 122 for 1.21. The game data of 26.2 holds 126. These counts include the five advancements that head each tab, such as Minecraft.

Segments and proof

All Advancements is one of the few categories you may play in segments. Every video has to show you leaving and rejoining the world, you can't play anything else on that instance in between, and you submit the log files. The time between segments doesn't count, and in glitchless runs a segment may not give you any advantage.

Every submission also sends the world file through the moderators' form. To show that you really have every advancement, submit the advancement file or the world files, display an advancement tracker with the count, or let SpeedRunIGT stop by itself with All Advancements selected.
