Tutorials/Advancement guide

This guide is intended to show players how to obtain all 80 advancements in Minecraft:. Three advancement guides are in need of cleanup. For more information about advancements in general, see the advancement page. For a guide on 's achievements, see the page Tutorials/Achievement guide.

Basics
Advancements are basically tasks to complete that will help guide you in advancing further into the game. Some of the more advanced advancements will also give you experience as a reward. Advancements are organized into five categories: Minecraft, Nether, The End, Adventure, and Husbandry.

Even though many advancements have parents and are parents of other advancements, it does not matter which order you complete the advancements; the parents of advancements are just a guide of the easiest order to work through the advancements. For example, the advancement "Husbandry" is the parent of "The Parrots and the Bats", but this does not mean that "Husbandry" must be completed before "The Parrots and the Bats". Each advancement is independent of one another, despite them having parents. For more information, see the advancement page.

The heart and story of the game

Requirements: Have a crafting table in your inventory.

Get a crafting table in your inventory to get this advancement. This one is easy, but requires some prerequisites. First, just hold down the on a log until it breaks, then collect the dropped block by walking over it.

Logs are found on trees, which are very easy to find (as long as you didn't start out in an ocean or desert biome). Just look around when you spawn.

Use the log you just got from the tree and open your. You will see a 2×2 grid near the top right-hand corner; place your wood log in any of those grids. Then, click on the planks that appear to obtain them.

If you turned on a bonus chest when you created your world, there is a good chance that it will contain logs, planks, or both. If you have these, you probably won't need to get any wood to create a crafting table.

Finally, put one of the four planks you got into each container of your grid (a 2×2 square of planks). You can to place a single plank into the grid, instead of all four.

Once you have the crafting table in your inventory, you will get the advancement.

Parent of: Stone Age

Stone Age
Mine stone with your new pickaxe

Requirements: Have cobblestone, cobbled deepslate or blackstone in your inventory.

First, place your crafting table on the ground by holding the crafting table in your hand and the ground. Follow the crafting recipe below to make sticks (note that this can also be done in your inventory crafting grid):

Now arrange your sticks and some planks in the crafting table to make a wooden pickaxe:

Note that you may need to get more wood in order to have enough to make a wooden pickaxe.

To get the advancement, you must find stone (which is easy, you don't need to find a cave for this), and mine it with your wooden pickaxe to get cobblestone (stone will become cobblestone if you mine it without a Silk Touch pickaxe). Exposed stone can be found on the sides of hills and in ravines/caves. If you find a cave or ravine, do not go deep into it, because you will encounter mobs (such as zombies and skeletons).

If you are in the Nether or below Y = 8, you can also mine blackstone or cobbled deepslate to get this advancement although the chances of you getting to the Nether or finding a deepslate blob without picking up any cobblestone are very slim. Blackstone is located in the basalt deltas biome. You may also find blackstone in other biomes near the lava ocean.

Parent of: Getting an Upgrade

Getting an Upgrade
Construct a better pickaxe

Requirements: Have a stone pickaxe in your inventory.

You need to make a stone pickaxe to get this advancement. Using your wooden pickaxe, mine three stone blocks so you have three cobblestone blocks. If you are deep underground, you can also mine deepslate which turns into cobbled deepslate, which is suitable for crafting.

If you are in the Nether, you can also make a stone pickaxe using blackstone. Blackstone is located in the basalt deltas biome. You may also find blackstone in other biomes near the lava ocean.

Now arrange your sticks and cobblestone/blackstone /deepslate blocks in the crafting table to make a stone pickaxe:

Stone pickaxe also spawn in bonus chest, bought by novice-level toolsmith villagers, or by toolsmith villager gifts.

Acquire Hardware
Smelt an iron ingot

Requirements: Have an iron ingot in your inventory.

The intended method for attaining this advancement is to find iron ore. Iron ore is found at almost any height in the world, but is most common at altitudes 15 to 232. It does not generate at all between layers 73 to 79, so you shouldn't look there for it. The two main ways to find iron ore are to find it in a cave, or to find it in an exposed stone surface either on the ground or in the side of a hill/mountain. Because caves often have monsters in them, they are not recommended to go into until you have some armor and weapons, so finding an exposed surface in the ground with iron in it is much safer. If you find iron in the side of a hill, you may need to place blocks to make a tower or staircase up to it, especially if the hill is very high. If there are no caves or exposed stone surfaces near you, you could start a mineshaft. If you are feeling very daring and adventurous, make a stone sword and a few torches, and go ahead and search a cave. Torches can be made once you find coal, which is spawn very common in level 0 to 320 in the Overworld. You can also smelt the log to make charcoal, which can turn into torches. The way turn make furnace and smelt will be below. The torch recipe will be below. You can usually find iron in caves very quickly, because the walls of the caves will expose a lot of blocks.

If you are lucky, you can find iron ingots in chests in village blacksmiths, armorer's house, toolsmith's house; desert temples, dungeons, mineshafts, jungle pyramids, shipwrecks, buried treasures, pillager outpost, woodland mansion, stronghold, nether fortress, bastion, and end city. Iron nuggets can also spawn in ruined portals, bastions, shipwrecks, and village taiga houses, which if you have 9 iron nuggets could be turn into 1 iron ingot.

Bastion can also generate block of iron, which can turn into 9 iron ingot.

Once you find iron ore, mine it with your stone pickaxe (don't mine it with a wooden pickaxe since it won't drop anything). It will drop raw iron (unless you mined it with the Silk Touch enchantment, in which case it will drop an iron ore). Block of raw iron can also generate in ore vein, which can turn into 9 raw iron.

Then make a furnace using cobblestone, blackstone, and cobbled deepslate and put the raw iron or iron ore in it along with a fuel source, such as log, planks, or coal. After 10 seconds, it yields an iron ingot.

Iron golem can spawn in villages, and pillager outpost; which when kill drops 3-5 iron ingot. Zombie, husk and zombie villager also have a chance to drops 1 iron ingot. Iron nugget also can be obtain by smelt an iron tools, weapon, armor, horse armor, or a chainmail armor; and by bartering. The way to get gold ingot will be below.

You will get the advancement once you transfer the iron ingot from the furnace to your inventory. Iron ingots can further be made into many useful tools, weapons, and armor.

Hot Stuff
Fill a bucket with lava

Requirements: Have a lava bucket in your inventory.

Gather 3 iron ingots, and arrange them in the crafting table to make a bucket:

Bucket can also be found in chests in savanna village houses, monster rooms, and woodland mansions. Water bucket can also be found in village fisherman's houses. Bucket of aquatic mob can also bought from novice-level fisherman villagers and from wandering traders.

Now, all you have to do is find lava and your bucket to fill it up. Lava lakes can be found rarely on the surface in the Overworld, and sometimes underground above Y=0. They often light the surrounding grass and trees on fire, which makes them easy to spot from a distance, especially at night. However, lava is most common at Y=-55 and below, where it fills all of the caves in place of air. If you are in the Nether, getting lava can be very easy because it is found in the lava sea there. If you are high up in the Nether, getting down to the lava ocean could be quite difficult though. Lava can also generate as a spring block in both Overworld and the Nether, or spawn in village blacksmith, ruined portal, nether fortress, bastion, woodland mansion, stronghold, and delta.

Notice that you have to use the bucket on the source of lava. Normally, if the lava you see is not flowing, you can use the bucket anywhere, because every block of lava is a source block. But if you see a stream of flowing lava, you have to trace the lava flow to its source, and use the bucket on it.

Diamond pickaxe can also spawn in bastion and end city.

You also need a bucket of water: find a water source and it with your bucket.

Next, you need to go down to the bottom of a cave, at below Y-level 11. Find a lava lake (you cannot use flowing lava, or else it will become cobblestone) or any structures that have lava, and pour the bucket of water next to the lava. An alternative method is to find a flat biome (plains, desert, etc.) and search for a lava lake there, and do the same thing. The water should flow onto the lava, turning it into obsidian. If you find naturally occurring obsidian, that works as well. Mine the obsidian with your diamond pickaxe, and pick it up. Note: This thing don't the Nether, since water vaporize in the Nether.

Obsidian can also in the chest in village blacksmith, ruined portal, nether fortress, and bastion; as a block in ruined portal, woodland mansion, ocean ruins, end spike, obsidian platform, and end ship; and by bartering.

Build, light, and enter a Nether Portal

Requirements: Enter the Nether dimension.

First of all, you will need to build a nether portal, or find a ruined portal and fix it. To make a portal, you need at least 10 obsidian. Make your portal using the obsidian like so (build it upright, or else it will not work):

Budget version

Alternatively, you could build it like this, but it uses more obsidian:

Full version

If you find a ruined portal, you wouldn't need to build an entire portal on your own, but you do need to fix it up to be complete. Depending on how broken (and large) the ruined portal is, it might be easier to fix it than to make your own, but it could also be a lot harder, making it not worth to try fixing. To fix a ruined portal, you need to mine any crying obsidian in the portal (except for the corners because these don't count) with a diamond pickaxe, then complete the portal by placing regular obsidian in the gaps. There is a chest near the portal that may contain some obsidian to help you with this, but it's likely that you will have to get some on your own anyway. The chest also may contain a fire charge or flint and steel, which is very useful because this will light the portal, even if you can't fix the ruined portal and decide to make your own.

Now you need a way to light the portal to activate it. This could be a flint and steel or a fire charge. If you don't have either of these, you need to get an iron ingot and a piece of flint and place these anywhere in your 2×2 crafting grid to make a flint and steel.

Flint can be obtain by breaking gravel, or generate in village fletcher's house, and ruined portal. Light your portal by using the flint and steel or fire charge on the top surface of one of the bottom blocks. You can also light the nether portal using lava next to flammable blocks, or lightning. If the portal doesn't light up, make sure that it is complete and the correct size, does not contain any crying obsidian (only regular obsidian), and does not have blocks inside the frame, then try again. Your portal will now look like this:

Or like this:

Once you stand inside the portal for a few seconds, you will be teleported to the Nether and you will get the advancement. If you are not prepared to go into the Nether, go back to the Overworld the moment you set foot in the Nether. To return, step out of the portal and step back in again.

Ender pearl can be obtain by killing endermen, bartering, trading with expert-level cleric villagers, or can be found in "fake end portal" room of woodland mansions. A very feasible way to obtain ender pearls in early game is to find a biome in the Nether, and kill as many endermen there as possible. Blaze powder is crafted from blaze rods, which only drop from blazes; this means you will have to find a nether fortress and kill a few blazes to obtain their rods.

Although the player usually needs 10-12 eyes of ender to activate the end portal, much less are needed to find a stronghold. Usually, 4 eyes of ender is a good amount to start, given that the player doesn't throw the eyes too often and lose all of them before reaching the strnghold.

Return to Sender
Destroy a Ghast with a fireball

'''Requirements: Kill a ghast with a ghast fireball. Other fireballs do not work.'''

Kill a ghast using its own fireball to get this advancement. When a ghast shoots a fireball at you, wait until it comes towards you, and then the fireball to send it flying back to the ghast and kill it. The reflected fireball will roughly go in the direction the player's crosshair is pointing in, so the player can aim at the position where the ghast is about to fly to.

To reflect the fireball without endangering themselves too much, the player should face the fireball, stand slightly to the side, and start spam-clicking the attack button as the fireball comes close. The fireball can be attacked slightly outside its hitbox, so even if the player fails to hit the fireball, it flies past the player without hitting them. The spam-clicking is beneficial because the time window to hit the fireball is very short, and that the fireball can be reflected regardless of attack cooldown.

The above method is, however, very dangerous for unskilled players. A safer method is to shoot a projectile, such as an arrow or a snowball, at the fireball.

Completing this advancement will reward the player 50 experience.

'''Rescue a ghast from the Nether, bring it safely home to the Overworld... and then kill it'''

Requirements: Kill a ghast in the Overworld.

This advancement is rather difficult. The hardest part is getting the ghast through a nether portal. Soul sand valley biomes are the best places to get the ghast but the amount of skeletons might be dangerous.

The first step is building the biggest nether portal possible (23x23). Before attempting to move the ghast through it you should enter the portal to load the chunks and remove any block which might suffocate the ghast. Then you can use fishing rods (prepare a lot of them because they break really fast) to move a ghast through the portal. Keep a flint and steel in the hotbar in case the ghast breaks the portal. Elytra and fire resistance potions are not necessary but really helpful.

You can then place down your smithing table and make a full set of netherite armor:

Once you make all of the armor, you will be rewarded the advancement.

Completing this advancement will reward the player 100 experience.

Spooky Scary Skeleton
Obtain a Wither Skeleton's skull

Requirements: Have a wither skeleton skull in your inventory.

Get a wither skeleton skull. Wither skeletons, found in nether fortresses, have a small chance of dropping one upon death. Wither skeletons have a 2.5% chance of dropping their skull, a 3.5% chance of dropping with Looting I, a 4.5% chance with Looting II, and a 5.5% chance with Looting III.

Once you have obtained the skull, you will be rewarded the advancement.

Not Quite "Nine" Lives
Charge a Respawn Anchor to the maximum

Requirements: Charge a respawn anchor with glowstone four times (to the limit).

To complete this advancement, you will need a respawn anchor. To make a respawn anchor, you need 6 blocks of crying obsidian and 7 blocks of glowstone.

Then, place your respawn anchor and glowstone on it four times to fully charge the respawn anchor, and you will get the advancement.

It is strongly recommended that this is performed in the Nether dimension. Although respawn anchors can be charged in the Overworld and the End, the moment you click on a charged respawn anchor, it will explode.

Feels Like Home
Take a Strider for a loooong ride on a lava lake in the Overworld

Requirements: While riding a strider, travel 50 blocks on lava in the Overworld.

To complete this advancement, you must bring a strider to the Overworld. You can get the strider to follow you into a nether portal by holding a warped fungus, or ride it into a nether portal then dismount it, and the strider will be transported to the Overworld. Make sure that there is no water or rain on the Overworld side, as the strider takes damage from them.

After the strider is in the Overworld, you need to ride it continuously on lava until you're 50 blocks from where you started. The lava can either be a natural lava aquifer, or a long lava track you made yourself. Because this advancement only accounts for horizontal displacement, going in a circle for more than 50 blocks doesn't count. Once you're horizontally 50 blocks away from where you mounted the strider, you are granted the advancement.

Hot Tourist Destinations
Explore all Nether biomes

Requirements: Find every biome in the Nether.

This advancement is achieved by setting foot in all five biomes in the Nether: the basalt deltas, the crimson forest, the nether wastes, the soul sand valley, and the warped forest.

If you go to the advancement tab, you can see a progress bar, showing how many of the five biomes you have visited. However, it does not show which of the five biomes have been visited.

A way to check which biomes a player has visited is introduced in the "Adventuring Time" section, which also applies to this advancement; the only difference is that the entry to look for is.

Once you have entered all of these biomes, you will be rewarded the advancement.

Completing this advancement will reward the player 500 experience.

Withering Heights
Summon the Wither

Requirements: Be in a 101×101×104 (approximate) range from a wither when the wither explodes.

Summon the wither. Place 4 soul sand or soul soil in a T shape, in any direction, and place 3 wither skeleton skulls on the line of 3 soul sand/soul soil.

The wither will immediately spawn, but cannot deal any damage nor be done any harm for 10 seconds, until it explodes. At this point, as long as you're within a 100.9 x 100.9 x 103.5 area, you will get the advancement. For more information on the wither, what to expect, what to prepare, and how to fight the wither, see the pages "Wither" and "Tutorials/Defeating the wither".

Local Brewery
Brew a potion

Requirements: Remove an item from a brewing stand's potion slot.

Before beginning, you will need a glass bottle (made with 3 glass) and, of course, a brewing stand, made like so:

Brewing stands can also be found occasionally as workstations in villages in the Overworld.

In the inside of a brewing stand, there are three slots on the bottom with the outline of a glass bottle, and another slot on top, which is for the actual potion ingredient. There is also a slot in the top left with the outline of blaze powder.

Brewing a potion is not actually required to complete the advancement. The simplest way to do it is to put any glass bottle (even an empty one) into any of the bottom three slots of the brewing stand interface and then remove it to get the advancement. No blaze powder or potion ingredients are required.

Bring Home the Beacon
Construct and place a beacon

Requirements: Be in a 20×20×14 range when a beacon is activated.

This advancement requires being near a beacon when it is activated. First, you must craft the beacon, which requires the rare and precious nether star.

However, when you place a beacon by itself on the ground, it will not do anything. You need a pyramid of certain blocks, which include blocks of iron, gold, diamonds, emeralds, and/or netherite. When activated, beacons can give you special powers if you are a certain number of blocks from the beacon. Placing a beacon on top of the center of mineral blocks on a 3 x 3 layout will give the beacon a power level of 1. If you place mineral blocks in a 5 x 5 manner with the 3 x 3 layout and a beacon on top of that, the beacon with have a power level of 2. You can continue adding bigger pyramid layers up to level 4, of which the beacon and pyramid should look like this:

Layer 1 (highest): Beacon, Layer 2: 3 x 3 layout of iron, gold, diamond, emerald or netherite blocks, Layer 3: 5 x 5 layout of mineral blocks, Layer 4: 7 x 7 layout of mineral blocks, Layer 5: 9 x 9 layout of mineral blocks,

To get this advancement, it doesn't matter what power level the beacon as on. As soon as the beacon is activated, it will shoot a beam of light to the sky, and you will get the advancement. Also, if you the beacon, you can give the beacon iron ingots, gold ingots, diamonds, emeralds, or netherite ingots to get special powers. The higher-level beacon you have, the better powers you can get.

A Furious Cocktail
Have every potion effect applied at the same time

Requirements: Have every status effect that can be obtained from a potion.

To get this challenge advancement, you will need to brew and use these 12 potions:

Optional: Tip: So that you don't have to spend a long time drinking every potion, turn each potion into a splash potion using gunpowder, and continuously throw each splash potion at the ground below you, to get all 13 effects quickly.
 * Extend using redstone.
 * Use beacons.
 * Eat suspicious stew.

Completing this advancement will reward the player 100 experience.

Beaconator
Bring a beacon to full power

Requirements: Be in a 20×20×14 range when a beacon is activated with a pyramid of height 4 (excluding the beacon itself).

Be near a beacon when it is powered by a full-size level 4 pyramid. To acquire this, place blocks of iron, gold, diamonds, emeralds and/or netherite on the ground in a 9 x 9 layout. Place another layer of minerals blocks on top of that in a 7 x 7 layout, and another on top of that in a 5 x 5 layout. Finally, your final layer should be 3 x 3, and you can place your beacon on top of this. Once the beacon shoots its beam to the sky, you will get the advancement. A level 4 beacon can also give special and rare powers to the player, if opened and given a type of mineral.



How Did We Get Here?
Have every effect applied at the same time

Requirements: Have every non-instantaneous status effect applied to the player that is obtainable in Survival mode at the same time (with the exception of Saturation).

To get this challenge advancement, you need to be affected by all the following status effects at once:

Before attempting this advancement, you must have killed the ender dragon, so that you can reach the outer islands of the End. You so must have killed the wither, so that you have access to a beacon.

First, find a naturally-generated sculk shrieker (such that its  property is   according to the targeted block info on the debug screen) as close as possible to an unexplored ocean monument (such that it still has at least one elder guardian). If you know your seed or are on a singleplayer world, you can use a seed map program like Chunkbase to look for a deep dark biome with a nearby ocean monument (note that, due to how the deep dark generates, it's impossible for a deep dark biome to be right under a deep ocean biome).

Dig a simple 2×2 staircase down to near the inner horizontal edge of the deep dark biome to about Y=-51 and tunnel around inside the deep dark biome to look for a cave system with a shrieker in it. Use the F3 debug screen to confirm that the shrieker's  property is , then surround the shrieker with wool (optional) and start destroying any nearby sculk sensor s, followed by any sculk catalyst s. If there are any other shriekers nearby besides the one you intend to use, destroy those first. If shriekers are activated three times (such that one of the "Warden draws close" sounds plays), carefully leave the area and wait at least thirty minutes for your warning level to drop back down to 0 before continuing, as a fourth shrieker activation within ten minutes after the "Warden draws close" sound will summon a warden. When done, double check that there are no more sensors nearby by making some extra noise around the area, then remove the wool surrounding the shrieker, but put a bottom slab on top of it to prevent you from accidentally stepping on it.

Then, begin building the contraption around the shrieker as shown below. The stone bricks can be any full, solid block that blocks mob sightlines (including glass blocks), and the gold block can be any solid opaque block that can be powered by redstone. Note that all dispensers and observers are horizontal and the piston is facing up. The trapdoor in layer 2 should be covering the adjacent dispenser face, and the trapdoor in layer 1 should be covering the block under it so that the shulker minecart is raised slightly off the ground. When done, remove the bottom slab over the shrieker. The water column above the beacons should extend all the way up to sea level, and there should be no opaque blocks between the beacons and the sky (things like water and leaves are fine). The iron blocks can be any beacon-compatible mineral block, but iron is the easiest and fastest to obtain because it can obtain from iron golems.

Once finished, place the spectral arrows in the Layer 1 dispenser and the splash potions in the layer 2 dispenser and set the beacons to Strength I+Regeneration I, Haste II, Speed II, Jump Boost II, and Resistance II. Dig a simple tunnel at least 1 block wide and at least 2 blocks tall from the top of the water column (at sea level) to the ocean and fill it with at least 1 layer of water (keeping at least 1 layer of air). Find a dolphin (remember that they can spawn in all ocean biome types except frozen and cold) and lead it back to the tunnel and down to the room with the waterlogged chests, then tie it to the fence post there and put a nametag on it to prevent it from despawning. The waterlogged chests should prevent the dolphin from drowning while also allowing it to keep contact with water to prevent it from dehydrating.

From the rails on layer 5, dig a straight staircase up and toward the world spawn until you reach the surface. At that point, go directly to the world spawn and use a compass to find the specific location of the world spawn, which is (by default) the northwest corner of the chunk. Press F3+G (or equivalent on a non-QWERTY keyboard) to show chunk borders and use a compass to find the 1×1 vertical column that the compass always points to as you walk around it. Make sure that there are no blocks over this block (including non-solid ones like flowers, grass, torches, and leaves), then surround the spot with glass and rails as shown below:

The netherrack shown above represents the world spawn, where entities show up when they come through the exit portal in the End.

Extend the rail out by 16 blocks on both ends, then begin running rails from this spot all the way to the staircase dug earlier, bridging over water if necessary. If possible, try to tunnel through hills rather than going over them, as the minecart could get stuck otherwise. It may take thousands of rails and bridging blocks to get from the world spawn to the build site, so it may be easier to simply bring a few stacks of logs and iron blocks with a crafting table to craft rails as you go. This is one of the most time-consuming parts of this advancement, but it's far more reliable than using a boat since boats can't be moved vertically up without a piston, riding a boat across water risks drowning the shulker if you move too quickly, and moving a boat across a bridge in the end risks having an enderman teleport and push the boat off the bridge and into the void. Using a minecart to carry the shulker, pushed by a furnace minecart, also allows the player to keep a healthy distance to avoid getting shot at by the shulker, and using a furnace minecart and regular rails instead of powered rails is much more resource-efficient.

Once the rails are run all the way from the world spawn to the build site, double check that there are no gaps anywhere in the rail line from the world spawn all the way up to the contraption's drop shaft, then break the most recently used bed, make sure you're not wearing any armor with Thorns, optionally grab a shield, and head into the end and find an end city with two shulkers still at the entrance. The city should be as close to an end gateway as possible, though exact distance is less important than how much bridging you'll need to do between the two. Again, Chunkbase can be used to find a suitable candidate. Enter through the opposite side from the entrance to prevent the shulkers from seeing you and place blocks as shown below to obscure the shulkers' vision and set up the rails which will eventually be used to pick up the shulker.

Once that's done, place regular rails leading all the way up and into the end gateway. Take note of the direction your rails are facing using the F3 debug screen, then go through the gateway. A trapdoor or fence gate can be used to force you into the 1-block-tall swimming position to go through without using an ender pearl each time. Depending on the type of gateway, you'll either end up at a corresponding gateway on the main island or on the obsidian platform at. If you arrive at the obsidian platform, just remember that any blocks on and above it will be reset to air anytime an entity enters the end, so if you exit and re-enter the end after building here (or if anyone else enters the end if you're on a server) before you get the shulker, you'll need to replace the rails. Wherever you arrive, place rails under yourself in the same direction as before and continue placing rails up to the corner of the exit portal, with an activator rail at the end, powered by a lever. The activator rail will try to eject the shulker into one of the up-to-8 adjacent air blocks at its Y level, so make sure that there are solid blocks in the spaces around the activator rail so that the only available spot is inside the exit portal. Now head back to the end city, double-check to make sure you don't have Thorns on your armor, enter through the back like before, place a minecart on the powered rails, and crouch and use a fishing rod to hook the minecart, then get behind the glass blocks and pull the minecart. Wait for the shulker to pass by, then place a furnace minecart on the powered rails and give it some coal/charcoal and a push toward the shulker minecart. Keeping a safe distance, follow the two through the gateway, onto the main island, and up to the exit portal. You should see an empty minecart and furnace minecart and no shulker nearby. Grab both minecarts and go through the exit portal and you should see the shulker in the glass enclosure from earlier. Place the minecart and furnace minecart on the rails leading to the shulker, give the furnace minecart some coal/charcoal and a push, and the shulker will be picked up. Follow it at a safe distance all the way to the build site, but be careful to not let the shulker take damage on the way. If you suspect the shulker may not be at full health, hit it with a splash potion of regeneration. The shulker minecart should fall into the column on top of the trapdoor. Once it does, place a top slab just over the shulker to lock it in place.

Now head to the ocean monument and time how long it takes to go from the ocean monument back to the build site. If it takes longer than about two and a half minutes, you'll need to use nether portals to get from place to place. It may be helpful to build the portals on top of the nether roof to facilitate easy, safe transit. Now look for the nearest pillager outpost and village (Chunkbase can be used for this as well) and build portals to get there as well (unless you can get from the village to the pillager outpost and from the pillager outpost to the build site in under 10 minutes each). At the village, trap at least one villager in a fully-enclosed area with access to a job site, as this is all that's required to count as a "village" for the purpose of raids. At the pillager outpost, it may be helpful to fill the spawning area of the outpost (a 72×54×72 cuboid centered on the top floor) with as many grass spawning platforms as possible to maximize the chances for pillagers (and therefore pillager captains) to spawn and decrease the time it'll take after beating a raid to get Bad Omen again.

At this point, double check that the contraption is set up correctly with a nametagged dolphin tied to the fencepost, a shulker in a minecart next to the shrieker, spectral arrows in the lower dispenser, and splash potions of Fire Resistance, Invisibility, Night Vision, Slowness, Slow Falling, Water Breathing, and Weakness in the upper dispenser (behind the vertical trapdoor). Make sure you can get from the village to the pillager outpost in under 10 minutes, from the pillager outpost to the ocean monument in under 10 minutes, and from the ocean monument to the contraption in under 2.5 minutes (if not, you may need some extra swiftness potions or some other means of fast transportation through the nether portals. Also make sure that the bottom slab covering the sculk shrieker has been removed. If everything looks good, you should be ready to start the process of getting all the effects. It's recommended to make a backup of the world before continuing in case something goes wrong. It may also be helpful to record your screen so that, if something goes wrong, you can see exactly which effect(s) weren't applied.

The sequence for getting the effects is as follows:


 * 1) Go to the pillager outpost and kill a pillager captain to get Bad Omen (1/27).
 * 2) Go to the village (losing Bad Omen (0/27)) and beat a raid (kill at least one raid mob in a raid that ends in victory) to get Hero of the Village (1/27). Timer is now 40 minutes. After this point, you should make sure to only eat food if absolutely necessary. Your hunger bar must be at most 15/20 by the time you reach the contraption.
 * 3) Go back to the pillager outpost and kill another pillager captain to get Bad Omen again (2/27).
 * 4) Go to the ocean monument and get cursed by an elder guardian to get Mining Fatigue (3/27). Timer is now at most 5 minutes.
 * 5) Go to the contraption. Getting within range of the beacons gives Haste, Jump Boost, Regeneration, Resistance, Speed, and Strength (9/27).
 * 6) Eat the golden apple to get Absorption (10/27). Timer is now at most 2 minutes.
 * 7) Enter the contraption and close the fence gate to enter the swimming position and get Conduit Power (11/27).
 * 8) Sprint-swim (giving Dolphin's Grace (12/27)) over the shrieker (which will activate and give Darkness (13/27)) and toward the wither rose in the gap between the grindstones to get Wither (14/27). The shulker will also begin firing at you, giving you Levitation (15/27). Continue sprint-swimming toward the wither rose throughout the rest of the steps.
 * 9) Flip the lever to the right of the wither rose to trigger the dispenser behind you to shoot a spectral arrow at you (giving Glowing (19/27)) and to trigger the piston next to the lever to extend and activate an observer clock which quickly fires the potions in the upper dispenser, giving Fire Resistance, Invisibility, Night Vision, Slowness, Slow Falling, Water Breathing, and Weakness (23/27). The lever can be flipped again to fire another spectral arrow if necessary.
 * 10) Eat the pufferfish for Hunger, Nausea, and Poison (26/27). Timer is now at most 15 seconds.
 * 11) Eat the suspicious stew to get Blindness (27/27). This should grant the advancement. However, if Glowing expired before you could eat the suspicious stew, quickly flip the lever again to fire another spectral arrow and give glowing again. As long as you keep sprint-swimming at the wither rose, Wither, Levitation, Darkness, Conduit Power, Dolphin's Grace, and the six beacon effects can all be refreshed (though triggering the sculk shrieker too many times runs the risk of potentially spawning a warden).

This is a hidden advancement, meaning that it can only be viewed when the player has completed the advancement.

Completing this advancement will reward the player 1000 experience, which is the equivalent of 26 levels if the player previously had no experience.

The Next Generation
Hold the Dragon Egg

Requirements: Have a dragon egg in your inventory.

To get this advancement, you must get the dragon egg into your inventory. This is achievable after defeating the ender dragon. However, when you punch the dragon egg, it will only teleport. The easiest way for the dragon egg to drop as an item is to place a piston facing the dragon egg, with a lever behind it. Flip the lever to push the piston, which will make the dragon egg drop as an item. Alternatively, you may bring a torch (or just take one of the torches on the exit portal), dig one block under the block the dragon egg is sitting on, place the torch under, and break the block. The dragon egg will fall on the torch, then drop as an item. Of course, any non-full block will work in place of the torch (such as a Fencepost, Bottom-Half Slab, or Pressure Plate). However, the usage of torches is suggested, as they are cheap and easy to obtain.

Remote Getaway
Escape the island

Requirements: Enter an end gateway.

To get this advancement, you must enter an end gateway. Because the gateway opening is only one block high, you cannot walk in directly. You can either throw an ender pearl through, or force your player model in crawling position, most easily achieved with a trapdoor. This will teleport you to one of the outer islands in the End, which is the only place where end cities can be found.

Parent of: The City at the End of the Game

The End... Again...
Respawn the Ender Dragon

Requirements: Respawn the ender dragon using end crystals.

To get this advancement, you need to respawn the ender dragon. This is possible by placing end crystals on certain blocks of bedrock that surround the exit portal in the End. The exit portal is surrounded by three bedrock blocks on each side, with blocks connecting each of the sides, for a total of 16 blocks. Place an end crystal on the middle block of each of the sides. This will respawn the end crystals on the obsidian towers, as well as the ender dragon herself.



You Need a Mint
Collect dragon's breath in a glass bottle

Requirements: Have a bottle of dragon's breath in your inventory.

To get this advancement, you must collect dragon's breath. To do this, a glass bottle on the dragon's breath particles, and you will get the advancement as soon as there is a bottle of dragon's breath in your inventory.

The City at the End of the Game
Go on in, what could happen?

Requirements: Enter an end city.

To get this advancement, you must walk into an end city. The only place in the game where you can find end cities are on the outer islands of the End, accessible through an end gateway, which generates when the ender dragon is killed. End cities contain lots of valuable treasure, along with many other things.

Parent of: Sky's the Limit | Great View From Up Here

Sky's the Limit
Find Elytra

Requirements: Have a pair of Elytra in your inventory.

To get this advancement, you must get the elytra in your inventory, which can be found in end city ships.

Great View From Up Here
Levitate up 50 blocks from the attacks of a Shulker

Requirements: Travel 50 blocks vertically while being affected by Levitation.

To get this advancement, you must travel vertically for at least 50 blocks under the Levitation effect, which is acquired by getting hit by a shulker's projectile. Earning this advancement becomes significantly easier if you throw an ender pearl at an end city tower above you after gaining Levitation. To avoid dying from fall damage after the effect wears off, you can throw another ender pearl, glide down using elytra, try to position yourself just above a tower roof, place a water bucket where you intend to land, or wear iron or diamond boots enchanted with a high Feather Falling level.

Another way to complete the advancement is to make a 50 block tall tower. Place water at the top, and swim up once the shulker hits you.

You can also get this advancement by traveling downwards 50 blocks, so you can get to the top of a tall end city (more than 50 blocks), and be hit by a shulker. You will be granted the Levitation effect. Next, get at least 8 blocks away from the end city, and then eat a chorus fruit. Because of the way chorus fruit teleportation works, it will teleport you directly on the ground, and you will get the advancement. An alternative to a chorus fruit is to throw an ender pearl at the ground below while you still have Levitation.

Completing this advancement will reward the player 50 experience.

Adventure
Adventure, exploration, and combat

Requirements: Kill a mob or get killed by one.

This advancement is easily achieved; either by killing any entity or being killed by any entity. The easiest entity to find early in the game is probably squid, if you spawn near water. Otherwise, you can try to find animals to kill, or wait until nighttime to kill a hostile mob. Overall, no special attention is needed to get this advancement.

Voluntary Exile
Kill a raid captain.

Maybe consider staying away from villages for the time being...

Requirements: Kill an illager captain, either from an illager patrol or a pillager outpost.

This advancement is rather easy. All you need to do is wait for an illager patrol to happen, and find the raid captain. Kill it and you will get the advancement.

Alternatively, you can find a pillager outpost and wait for a raid captain to spawn in. Then you need to kill him in a 'direct' way like a sword or a bow. Once you kill it, you will get the same result.

If you don't want to start a raid, make sure to drink a bucket of milk as soon as you get the advancement. If you don't have milk with you, find the nearest cow, mooshroom or goat, and milk it.

Sticky Situation
Jump into a Honey Block to break your fall

Requirements: Jump into the side of a honey block so that it slows you down as you fall.

To acquire this advancement, you need to have a honey block. To craft a honey block, you need to have four honey bottles. Next, place the four bottles in a crafting grid like so:

Place the honey block one block above the ground and jump onto the side of it. The advancement should be awarded if the player touches the honey block before touching the ground.

Surge Protector
Protect a villager from an undesired shock without starting a fire

Requirements: Be within 30 blocks of a lightning strike that doesn't set any blocks on fire, while an unharmed villager is within or up to six blocks above a 30×30×30 volume centered on the lightning strike.

To complete this advancement, distance is crucial: the lightning rod needs to be not too close to the villager to convert it into a witch, and not to far so that this advancement is not triggered. The player also needs to be close to the lightning rod.

To make the lightning not set any blocks on fire, the best option is to build a small pillar out of non-flammable blocks at least 4 blocks high, and put the lightning rod on top of it. Make sure the lightning rod has access to the sky. The villager need to be at least 4 blocks away from the lightning in order to not be converted into a witch. Once the lightning strikes, all players within a 30 block radius of the lightning rod are granted the advancement.

Caves & Cliffs
Free fall from the top of the world (build limit) to the bottom of the world and survive

Requirements: Falls from at least y=319 to at most y=-59 with a vertical distance of greater than 379 blocks.

The usual way of completing this advancement involves creating a tall pillar all the way to the build limit, and a shaft straight down to the bedrock layer right next to it.

The easiest way to create the pillar is using scaffolding: simply place one down, and keep clicking on the side, until you cannot place any more of it. If you start at sea level, you will need 256 pieces of scaffolding, or about 4 stacks. If you don't have easy access to bamboo or string, you can alternatively build the pillar out of sand or gravel, as a pillar made of them can be easily removed by placing a torch or slab at the bottom. Once you get to the top, you can either use a water bucket to get down, or roll down using a boat.

To dig the shaft, the easiest way is to dig straight down by standing in the middle of two blocks, place a bucket of water at the bottom, and then pillar up on one side of the shaft. This leaves a 1 by 1 hole going down straight to bedrock.

Sleep in a bed to change your respawn point

Requirements: Sleep in a bed.

This advancement is achieved by sleeping in a bed. Beds can be made with 3 wool and 3 planks, which is easy if players have sheep nearby.

Sleeping in a bed will reset the player's spawn point, so that when they die, they will respawn next to their bed. Note that this advancement can only be done at night or during a thunderstorm.

Only perform the above steps while in the Overworld. If you try to sleep in the Nether or the End, the bed will explode.

Hero of the Village
Successfully defend a village from a raid

'''Requirements: Kill a raid captain, enter a village and complete a raid.

First, kill a raid captain (which will award the "Voluntary Exile" advancement) and get the Bad Omen effect. Then, go to a village. You will see a bossbar labeled "Raid" and your Bad Omen effect disappeared, indicating that the raid has started. There will be numerous amounts of waves of the raid based on the difficulty. There are 3 waves in Easy, 5 in Normal, and 7 in Hard.

Mobs that will spawn during the raid are: pillagers, vindicators, and ravagers, which spawn on all difficulties. Evokers, vexes and witches only spawn on normal and hard difficulties. Ridden ravagers spawn with a pillager on normal and with pillagers, vindicators and evokers on hard. Illusioners are unused.

Once you have completed the raid (you have killed every illager in the raid), you will get the "Hero of the Village" advancement. You will also get the status effect of the same name of the advancement, Hero of the Village.

Completing this advancement will reward the player 100 experience.

A Throwaway Joke
Throw a trident at something.

Note: Throwing away your only weapon is not a good idea.

Requirements: Throw a trident at any entity.

To get this advancement, you will first need to kill a drowned holding a trident. Drowned can be found in ocean ruins or underwater in light level 7 or less in ocean biomes (except in warm ocean), and river biomes. Zombies can be converted to drowned, but they do not spawn with a trident. Tridents are a rare drop from drowned, so you may need to kill a few drowned to get the trident. 6.25% of drowned spawn with a trident, and there is a 8.5% chance for the drowned to drop the trident, with an 11.5% chance to drop with Looting III. A shield can be helpful fighting drowneds underwater, as their tridents deal massive damage.

Once you have obtained the trident, you then have to throw it at an entity. You can't hit the entity while holding the trident; it has to be a thrown. Once the thrown trident has hit an entity, you will be rewarded the advancement. The trident's durability will be reduced by 1 in the process.

Parent of: Sniper Duel | Bullseye

Monsters Hunted
Kill one of every hostile monster

Requirements: Kill every hostile mob at least once.

Kill every type of hostile mob, and you only need to kill it once. Killing a type of hostile mob in your current world will be saved in the progress bar of this advancement. The 34 mobs you will need to kill include: blazes, cave spiders, creepers, drowned, elder guardians, ender dragons, endermen, endermites, evokers, ghasts, guardians, hoglins, husks, magma cubes, phantoms, piglins, piglin brutes, pillagers, ravagers, shulkers, silverfish, skeletons, slimes, spiders, strays, vexes, vindicators, witches, withers, wither skeletons, zoglins, zombies, zombified piglins, and zombie villagers.

The hardest mobs to kill for this challenge advancement are the ender dragon and the wither (they are bosses). The harder mobs to kill are elder guardians, ravagers (have health, deal up to  melee damage on Hard difficulty, can roar (dealing  damage and high knockback) when blocked with a shield, and spawn only in raids), evokers and vindicators (spawn only in woodland mansions and raids), piglin brutes (have  health and do up to  damage when armed on Hard difficulty), zoglins (requires to get a hoglin into the Overworld, made even harder by their fear of Nether portals), silverfish (found only in strongholds and infested stone variants, and are small), and cave spiders (spawn only from spawners in mineshafts).

The player can track their progress by going to the "Mobs" section in their statistics. All mobs that are killed by the player (or have killed the player) at least once will be shown on the page. Killing a warden is not required for this advancement.

Completing this advancement will reward the player 100 experience.

Postmortal
Use a Totem of Undying to cheat death

Requirements: Take fatal damage while holding a Totem of Undying.

Before attempting this advancement, you must go to a woodland mansion or initiate a raid, and kill an evoker, which will drop a totem of undying. Then, if you take fatal damage while holding the totem of undying in either hand (switch between hands by pressing, better for dual wielding), you will not actually die; instead, your health will regenerate (from Absorption and you gaining ) and you will get the advancement.

The status effects you will get from the Totem of Undying are: 45 seconds of II, 40 seconds of, and 5 seconds of  II. The Totem of Undying will remove all of your current status effects and apply these instead.

Hired Help
Summon an Iron Golem to help defend a village

Requirements: Use 4 blocks of iron and 1 carved pumpkin to spawn an iron golem.

You must summon an iron golem to get this advancement, although summoning it in a village is not necessary. The first thing you must do is gather 36 iron ingots and a carved pumpkin. Use the iron ingots to make 4 iron blocks, and place them in a "T" shape on the ground. Place the carved pumpkin on top of the top middle block.

This should spawn an iron golem; therefore, you will get the advancement. Iron golems will kill any nearby monsters. Iron golems are considered neutral mobs when naturally generated (meaning they will attack you if provoked), but if the player summoned the iron golem, they will become passive toward the player.

Star Trader
Trade with a Villager at the build height limit

Requirements: Stand on any block that is higher than 318 and trade with a villager or wandering trader.

This advancement requires the player to transport a villager to the build limit of 319, and then trade with it. The villager can be transported upward in a variety of ways, but the easiest solution is usually a vertical flying machine, with the benefit that a tower of some sort need not be constructed.

To conduct the flying machine technique, first trap the villager in a minecart or a boat, and then build a flying machine under it. Once the flying machine is finished, make sure you have the work station and some emeralds to trade with the villager, and then stand on the flying machine, and activate it. To ensure that you or the villager don't accidentally fall down and die, place some water at the bottom as a safety measure. Once the flying machine is activated, it will fly upward, carrying you and the villager with it. Once it reaches the build limit, it automatically stops, and you can place down the work station and trade with the villager. Once you performed the trade, you will receive the advancement.

To get down safely, you can either activate the flying machine to make it go downward, or simply disassemble the flying machine, and fall down into the water you placed below.

Smithing with Style

Requirements: Apply all smithing templates listed above at least once.

Two Birds, One Arrow
Kill two Phantoms with a piercing arrow

Requirements: Shoot a crossbow with the enchantment Piercing at two phantoms with one arrow.

In order to unlock this advancement, two phantoms must be simultaneously killed with a crossbow enchanted with any level of Piercing.

Phantoms spawn after three in-game days wherein the player does not sleep (unless the game rule  is set to  ).

Due to their health bar, phantoms cannot be killed in one shot with a crossbow. A crossbow does of damage at minimum,  at average, and  at maximum, therefore requiring two shots.

It's easier to let the phantoms dive down then move into a place with a roof. Now trap the phantoms and wait until two already damaged phantoms line up one after another, and fire a shot traveling through both to kill them. This will complete the advancement.

Completing this advancement will reward the player 65 experience.

Who's the Pillager Now?
Give a Pillager a taste of their own medicine

Requirements: Kill a pillager using a crossbow.

First, you will need to obtain a crossbow. To do this, you have to either kill some pillagers, or craft one.

After you have obtained a crossbow, find a pillager (usually found frequently in pillager outposts and patrols), and kill it using your crossbow. You will need at least 3 arrows to do this. Alternatively, attack the pillager with melee attacks until it is on low health, and finish it off with a crossbow shot. You will then be awarded the advancement.

Arbalistic
Kill five unique mobs with one crossbow shot

Requirements: Use a crossbow enchanted with Piercing IV to kill any 5 different mobs in one shot.

To complete this advancement, you must kill five different mobs in one shot with a crossbow enchanted with Piercing IV, which allows arrows to hit five different mobs.

First, you must prepare a 4×4 area then place fences all around the perimeter. This area is where the mobs will be trapped in. For this method you must also use passive mobs such cows or sheep. With these kinds of mobs, this size should be sufficient to trap all five mobs inside without any issues. If you are using horses, llamas, or any other passive mob that has a larger size than a pig, cow, or the other normal-sized mobs, it is a good idea to make the fence area slightly larger.

Now, prepare all of the mobs' food, the food that is used to feed and breed them, and lure them toward the trapping area. Leads are also a good option. Once you have all five passive mobs trapped in the same 4×4 area, you need to prepare a splash potion of Poison II. Throwing this at the mobs will allow them to be reduced down to one health point, but not fully kill them, which allows you to finish them off with the crossbow shot. You may want to bring a bucket of milk, just in case you poison yourself.

After the poison wears off, it is time to line them up so you can kill all five with a crossbow shot. It is recommended to lure the animals closer together using their breeding food. Holding different types of breeding food in both hands is also a good option because it will lure more animals toward you (for example, holding a carrot in your off-hand while holding wheat in your main hand, will lure pigs, rabbits, sheep, and cows). Once they are attracted with your food each hand, quickly switch to your crossbow shot and fire the arrow in the best possible angle so that all the mobs die at the same time. It is recommended to aim for the mobs which have the smallest hitbox first, like a chicken or rabbit's, because those are harder to hit, while mobs with larger hitboxes should be prioritized last, like a cow or horse's. If they all die after you fire the arrow, you should be rewarded the advancement.

This is a hidden advancement, meaning that it can only be viewed when the player has completed the advancement.

Completing this advancement will reward the player 85 experience.

The player can check their progress by going to the Advancement tab and hover their cursor over the advancement. A progress bar will show how many of the 52 biomes they have visited. However, it does not show which of the biomes have been visited, so it is recommended that you create a notepad document and tick off biomes as you visit them.

For a singleplayer world, a reliable way to check for which biomes have been visited is to read the .JSON file that stores the advancements. It involves the following steps: The file keeps a record of which biomes the player has visited, as well as the exact time that the player visited them for the first time. By reading this file, the player can learn of which biomes they need to visit in order to complete this advancement.
 * Go to the .minecraft folder >> saves >> (name of the world) >> advancements.
 * Open the only available .JSON file in the folder with a text editor (e.g. Notepad).
 * Find the entry that says.
 * See which biomes are listed under the entry.

Sniper Duel
Kill a Skeleton from at least 50 meters away

Requirements: Be at least 50 blocks away from a skeleton and kill it with a projectile.

To complete this advancement, you need to kill a skeleton with a projectile that is shot from at least 50 blocks away horizontally. The best way to do this is to first trap a skeleton into a 2×1×1 block area, using fences, so that you don't have to deal with a moving target. Also, make sure that it is nighttime so that the skeleton will not burn in the daytime. Alternatively, if the skeleton has a helmet on, it will also not burn in the daylight. To ensure that the skeleton doesn't despawn, put a name tag on it.

Then, making sure that you are at least 50 blocks away from the skeleton horizontally, throw your projectile at about a 45 degree angle toward the skeleton. It may take many tries to shoot correctly. You will get the advancement once the skeleton is killed by the projectile.

To weaken the skeleton and kill it in one hit with your projectile, you can hit it with another weapon for a certain number of times, until you can hit the skeleton with the projectile in one hit. You will get the advancement as long as when the skeleton is killed and it was hit by your arrow at last. If you have an iron sword, diamond sword, netherite sword, or any type of axe (except netherite), you can hit the skeleton twice with that weapon before shooting the skeleton with a fully charged arrow in one hit. If you have a wooden, stone, or gold sword, hit the skeleton three times with that weapon before shooting the skeleton. A bow enchanted with Power IV or V can kill a full health skeleton in one hit. Although arrows are the easiest to use, any projectile can be used for this advancement.

Completing this advancement will reward the player 50 experience.

Bullseye
Hit the bullseye of a Target block from at least 30 meters away

Requirements: Hit the absolute middle of a target from at least 30 blocks away.

To complete this advancement you need to craft a target.

Then, place the target on the ground. Now you need to get a bow and at least one arrow. Shoot on the bullseye (center) of the target from at least 30 blocks away horizontally until you hit the bullseye. Changing the FOV value to 30 may be useful here.

To acknowledge where the arrow lands and how close you were, you can place 15 Redstone dust in a line starting from the target with Redstone lamps below. The more lamps light up the more accurate your hit was.

When you hit the bullseye from at least 30 blocks away horizontally, you will be rewarded the advancement.

An easier way to do this is to place an iron trapdoor on top of the target block. Set up a Redstone trail 30 or more blocks long (use repeaters too). shoot the trapdoor in the middle and then pull the lever 30 blocks away. this will grant you the advancement.

Completing this advancement will reward the player 50 experience.

Stray cats can spawn in villages. They can be tamed with any type of raw cod or raw salmon.

Wolves spawn naturally in forests, taigas, giant tree taigas and snowy taigas, along with all variants of these biomes (with the exception of flower forests). Wolves can be tamed with bones. Beware that if you accidentally attack an untamed wolf, similar to zombified piglins, it and its whole pack will start attacking you.

Horses and donkeys are found in plains and savannas, llamas are found in savanna and mountain biomes, and mules are obtained from breeding a horse and a donkey. Horses and llamas are tamed differently than other tameable mobs. To tame a horse or a llama, keep them with nothing in your hand. The first few times, they may buck you off, but eventually, they will let you stay on and hearts will appear. This means that you have tamed them successfully.

Apply Honeycomb to a Copper block!

Requirements: a Honeycomb on a Block of Copper.

First, you will need 1 piece of Honeycomb. First, you would need to locate a Beehive that contains Bees inside, either naturally generated, or crafted. A naturally generated Beehive can be found in: Plains, Sunflower plains, Flower forest, Forest, Wooded hills, Birch forest, Tall birch forest, Birch forest hills, or Tall birch hills.

Then, craft a pair of Shears using two Iron Ingot like this:

Wait until the Beehive looks like it is full of honey, and then shears on the beehive. (Note: It is recommended to put a campfire under the beehive so that after you shear the beehive, the bees inside and outside will not get angry at you. Not putting a campfire under the beehive and then shearing the beehive will result in the bees potentially stinging you, which may poison you.) You will acquire 3 honeycombs.

Next, you will need to get a copper block.

Copper ore can be found most often generating at Y level 47 to 48. When mining it, remember to use a Pickaxe that is anything but wooden, the ore will drop either Raw Copper or copper ore (the latter will only drop if you're using Silk Touch).

Smelting either raw copper or copper ore will result in a copper ingot.

Breed all the animals!

Requirements: Breed all possible animals.

Like the in-game description says, breed all the animals! The advancement "The Parrots and the Bats" tells you how to breed animals. The 22 animals are axolotl, bee, cat, chicken, cow, donkey, fox, frog, goat, hoglin, horse, llama, mooshroom, mule, ocelot, panda, pig, rabbit, sheep, strider, turtle, and wolf. Here is a chart with what all the breedable animals can be bred with:

Ocelots and foxes will run away from the player, so bringing leads is recommended.

Hoglins are hostile toward the player, making them difficult to breed.

Pandas require 8 bamboo blocks within 5 meters to breed.

Trader llamas don't count toward this advancement, only normal llamas do.

A way to check which mobs a player has bred is introduced in the "Adventuring Time" section, which also applies to this advancement; the only difference is that the entry to look for is.

Tame all cat variants!

Requirements: Tame all the 11 different cat variants.

You will need at least half a stack (but preferably a stack) or either raw salmon or raw cod, usually obtained from fishing or killing fish mobs. You then need to use it to tame all 11 cat variants in the game. To tame a stray cat, you have to hold the raw fish in your hand, then slowly approach it. Cats will flee from you if you get too close or approach too quickly, so sneaking toward it is a good approach. Eventually, the stray cat will start crawling slowly toward you. Once it comes to a stop in front of your feet, it with the fish several times until red hearts appear on top of the cat, showing that it is now tamed. Each cat variant has a different appearance, and a different name. They are: Black, British Shorthair, Calico, Jellie, Persian, Ragdoll, Red, Siamese, Tabby, Tuxedo, and White. Once you successfully tame all 11 cat variants, you will be awarded the advancement.

Cats only spawn in villages and swamp huts, but it is much more practical to find them in a village. For a village to spawn a cat, there needs to be at least 5 villagers and 5 beds, so make sure to increase the villager population if it's not big enough. Once you have successfully tamed a cat, move it far away from the village, so that more stray cats can continue to spawn.

Completing this advancement will reward the player 50 experience.

The player can check their progress on this advancement in 3 ways:
 * The easiest way is to go to the advancement tab and check the progress bar for this advancement. It shows how many of the 40 foods have been eaten before, but not which foods.
 * A more detailed but tedious way is to go to the "Items" section in statistics, and check the "Used" column (the 4th column from the left). All items that has been used (including eaten) at least once has a value greater than 1. This way, the player knows which items have been eaten, but since all items are sorted on the same chart, the player needs to filter out food items from non-food items (e.g. bow), which can take some effort.
 * The most reliable way requires access to the world files. The exact procedure is described in the "Adventuring Time" section, which also applies to this advancement; the only difference is that the entry to look for is.

Eating all these foods will reward the advancement.

Completing this advancement will reward the player 100 experience.
