Every so often, Minecraft has a major update that adds completely new features to the game and new mechanics that change the way the game works. Whenever they add the new features, they usually try to entice players to explore them by adding to the list of advancements, which are essentially just Minecraft's form of gaming Achievements.

Full Advancements List & Paths

At the moment, there are five primary sections of Advancements: Minecraft, Adventure, Nether, The End, and Husbandry. While these all have their own Advancement Paths within them, all Advancements are independent of each other, and none of them actually have any prerequisites. It's assumed Minecraft lists them as paths to help players follow the standard flow of the game.
