Let's see them in detail.

Advancement Coordinates

Advancements are displayed inside the advancement GUI based on two coordinates: x and y.
The advancement GUI can be thought as a positive Cartesian Plane (so x >= 0 and y >= 0), where the origin is fixed in the upper-left corner of the advancement GUI.

Note that the y-axis is going downwards

Frame Types

There are three possible frame types, enumerated in AdvancementFrameType:

Frame Type	Result
Task
Goal
Challange

Toast Notification

A toast is a notification that comes out at the top-right of the player screen when they complete an advancement:

Through the API it's also possible to send custom toast using UltimateAdvancementAPI#displayCustomToast(...).

Announce Message

The announce message is sent to all online players on the server when someone completes an advancement. It is handled in the Advancement class by the method Advancement#getAnnounceMessage(Player player). It prints a message which is like the vanilla one:

When it gets hovered the title and description of the advancement will be displayed:

Advancement#getAnnounceMessage(Player player) uses AdvancementDisplay#getChatTitle() and AdvancementDisplay#getChatDescription() to get the title and description to be displayed.

AdvancementDisplay vs FancyAdvancementDisplay

In addition to AdvancementDisplay, UltimateAdvancementAPI contains also the FancyAdvancementDisplay class, which should provide a fancier advancement.
The main differeces are:

Feature	AdvancementDisplay	FancyAdvancementDisplay	Description
Title default color	Depends on the frame type	White (§f)	In vanilla, the advancement title color is lime (§a) for tasks and goals, purple (§5) for challenges. FancyAdvancementDisplay sets it to white, while AdvancementDisplay follows vanilla. Default color doesn't obviously matter if the title line starts with a color code.
Description default color	Depends on the frame type	Light gray (§7)	In vanilla, the advancement description color is lime (§a) for tasks and goals, purple (§5) for challenges. FancyAdvancementDisplay sets it to light gray, while AdvancementDisplay follows vanilla. Default color doesn't obviously matter if every description line starts with a color code.
Empty line between title and description	No empty line is added	An empty line is added if there isn't one already	Title and description can be separated by an empty line. That is automatically added by FancyAdvancementDisplay, while AdvancementDisplay never adds it.
