The descriptions of advancements usually capitalize the name of proper nouns (don't exist in real life) and don't capitalize common nouns. This is not the case for all advancements. Unnecessary capitalization is covered by MC-116857. This covers the required capitalizations.

"Lodestone" is not a proper noun and should therefore likely be lowercased. I updated the description accordingly.
In the advancement's description of "Very Very Frightening," it reads "Strike a Villager with lightning" (Villager should be lowercase as it not a proper noun)
It appears all mob names are capitalized, e.g.
Kill a Skeleton from at least 50 meters away
Successfully trade with a Villager
So this is likely fine.
Elytra should not be capitalized because it is not a proper noun: Elytron
In my opinion "Honey Block" should not be capitalized because even lowercased it is unambiguous. Though "Target Block" should be captialized (as stated in the description) since it would be ambiguous otherwise, e.g. a user not being aware that the block exists might not understand this advancement. What do you all think?
@Marcono1234 Sorry for the late response! I only just now saw this comment when updating for 1.16.3. Thanks for the correction on the elytra! For the honey block, I think the capitalization should follow the rule on whether it's a plural noun or not. So it should be capitalized because it's a proper noun.
Relates to MC-226430 from 1.17pre-1 (New advancement strings miscapitalize "axolotl", "parrot", "ghast" and "Copper block")
These should possibly be merged?
Updated Bring the Beacon Home and Sky's the Limit for the fix of MC-116857
