Actually I think:

  • the powder snow one is correct

  • the copper ones don't need "block" to be capitalized, and should instead have "copper" in the lower case

Only proper nouns, mob names and product identity fictional materials are capitalized in advancement descriptions.

I think all the items and entities should be capitalized.

@Bob Wu Why? Capitalizing all items would be completely inconsistent with the rest of the game, and English as a whole.

According to @unknown in this comment, in-game names such as "Bee Nest" and "Glass Bottle" should be capitalized, so Avoma's strings are correct. Except the "Light as a Rabbit" advancement should be "Walk on Powder Snow... without sinking in it", with a space after the ellipsis, to be consistent with the "Tactical Fishing" advancement (MC-226454).

Since I feel this is worth mentioning and if anyone's curious, I've created a Google Docs Spreadsheet regarding all of the capitalization errors and inconsistencies within the advancement descriptions of advancements throughout Minecraft, which I actively keep updated. Here's the spreadsheet. 🙂

Note that the advancements.adventure.walk_on_powder_snow_with_leather_boots.description string is now capitalised correctly (in 22w15a). The remaining issue with the ellipsis is covered by MC-226454.

All of the affected strings as listed in this ticket except the "Wax on" and "Wax off" advancements descriptions have been fixed in 22w15a. Additionally, since both the "Wax on" and "Wax off" advancements descriptions will be changed in the near future as stated in MC-226484, would it be a good idea to resolve this ticket (MC-226430) as fixed in 22w15a, and the remaining issue(s) can be tracked at MC-226484?

Resolving as fixed in 22w15a. Please create a new issue if there are remaining strings that still need to be fixed.
