How to Disable Player Achievement Announcements in Minecraft

What Are Achievement Announcements?

Minecraft displays a message in the server chat whenever a player earns an achievement or advancement. While these announcements can be exciting for new players, they can become distracting on busy servers or during events. Fortunately, Minecraft provides a simple game rule to disable these notifications.

How To Disable Achievement Announcements

Disabling achievement announcements in Minecraft requires only a simple game rule command:

1. Make sure your Minecraft server is running
2. Access your server console
3. Type the command gamerule announceAdvancements false and press Enter
4. The changes will take effect immediately

This setting will prevent achievement notifications from appearing in the chat, though players will still earn their advancements as normal.

Re-Enabling Achievement Announcements

If you later decide you want to show achievement announcements again:

1. Access your server console
2. Type the command gamerule announceAdvancements true and press Enter
3. Achievement announcements will immediately start appearing again

Additional Useful Game Rules

Here are some other game rules you might want to modify for your server:

• gamerule showDeathMessages false - Disables death announcements
• gamerule disableRaids true - Prevents raids from triggering
• gamerule doInsomnia false - Prevents phantoms from spawning
• gamerule doWeatherCycle false - Stops weather changes

These commands can help you customize your server experience and reduce chat clutter.
