Achievements in Minecraft offer players the chance to do some specific things. Rather than just playing the game and randomly completing tasks, achievements give the players a bit more purpose. Sure, there's defeating the Ender Dragon (which is an achievement ironically), but otherwise there's not a lot of focus or purpose in Minecraft.
Achievements also give players a restriction. Getting achievements is great, but they can't be completed in Minecraft Creative mode or with cheats. Without achievements, there's less incentive to eschew cheats and switch back and forth into Creative mode. Sure, there's nothing wrong with doing that.
These are the features of the game that were added by the developers. Not using them makes the game harder, but at least with achievements there's a small reward for doing that.
Achievements in Minecraft: Java Edition
It's important to note that the achievements for Minecraft are universal across the board. Every version, platform and whatever else has the "Taking Inventory" achievement. Some, like the "Mokstraumen" (building a conduit) achievement, are specific to Bedrock. Some are easy and will be passively collected but others require some purposeful intent.
Some of the easy Java ones including "Taking Inventory" (self explanatory), "Acquiring Hardware" (getting iron), "Getting an Upgrade" (a better pickaxe) are pretty much passively collected. Taking inventory is something done right at the beginning of the world, as are the other two and many other simple achievements.
Others, however, are rather difficult and require a lot of time and a lot of intentionality. There isn't really a way to accidentally fly a pig off a cliff (When Pigs Fly).
