Tutorial of Achievements
I can make a tutorial on achievements. I'm hyped up about them so I can make a tutorial on how to do these. --R ocĸetor talk  23:22, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

bug?
I've cut down many trees with bare hands, with many types of axes and other tools, but I still don't get the getting wood achievement. Is there a bug that prevents it? --TheKax 14:14, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

Have you tried using a new map? --Poiuyt580 14:18, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
 * After changin the level it worked fine, but IMO it's a bug that you cant earn the achievements on some worlds. It sucks my main world is one of those. Is there anything I can do? --TheKax 14:20, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

Trivia addition
I was thinking, since 1.5 was released today, 4/19, and portal 2 was aswell, maybe Notch planned to do this because of the "the lie" achievement reference to portal. You could say something in the trivia about that. Chris32 04:09, 20 April 2011 (UTC)


 * I wouldn't really say that's a trivia. If you look on The Word of Notch and it says that he planned it that way then put it up, but otherwise don't speculate. It isn't a fact if it's based on observation only. Fai 00:56, 21 April 2011 (UTC)


 * It was coincidence. Notch said on his Twitter that he'd decided to push out 1.5 before he started playing Portal 2, since otherwise, the update wouldn't have happened until he'd finished playing (leading to the inevitable and incessant whining). 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 09:07, 21 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Notch was talking about the popular internet meme 'The Cake is a Lie' in which people say the cake is a lie, and some say 'NO! THE CAKE IS TRUE!' and this ever-going war goes on until one person kills the other. I, myself believe the cake is not a lie, but true.*Holds up shotgun* --R ocĸetor talk  09:15, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

Rearrangement
we should rather do something like the following:

Taking Inventory: Press 'E'/'I' to open your inventory. └ Getting Wood: Punch a tree until a block of wood pops out. └ Benchmarking: Craft a workbench with four blocks of wooden planks. ├ Time to Farm!: Use planks and sticks to make a hoe. │ ├ Bake Bread: Turn wheat into bread. │ └ The Lie: Wheat, sugar, milk and eggs! ├ Time to Strike!: Use planks and sticks to make a sword. │ ├ Monster Hunter: Attack and destroy a monster. │ └ Cow Tipper: Harvest some leather. │  └ When Pigs Fly: Use a saddle to ride a pig, then fall off a cliff while riding it. └ Time to Mine!: Use planks and sticks to make a pickaxe. ├ Getting an Upgrade: Construct a better pickaxe. └ Hot Topic: Construct a furnace out of eight stone blocks. ├ Delicious Fish: Catch and cook fish! └ Acquire Hardware Smelt an iron ingot. └ On A Rail: Travel by minecart at least 1 km from where you started.

does anybody know a template we can copy over from another wiki which does this with css? – Flying sheep 22:16, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

This format will fail if achievements with more than 1 prerequisite is ever introduced in the future. - Xinhuan 05:29, 20 April 2011 (UTC)


 * I also thinks that format might be a bit risky with considerations to future achivements. Keep It Simple is a good rule to follow. On another note, why is the pic from the preview video still on the page? It's not the one used in the game and will only serve to confuse people. --Urian 06:56, 20 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes, the achievements will definitely grow in size, since everything there is now could be easily done within one hour, and as Notch said they could be used for bragging online, I don't think any of the yet is worth much bragging for. They are still all quite easy to achieve. TheKax 15:07, 20 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Notch is probably going to constantly add new achievements every update, for example, this update they were all noobish achievements (eg. make a crafting table) but next update he might include intermediary tasks  (such as kill a Ghast with your fists), and later on they might converge into very dangerous tasks, such as 'kill 100 creepers without being hurt once' or 'Craft 1,000,000 items' --R  ocĸetor talk  23:01, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

It's a killer.
After I updated 1.5_01, I started an existing world, and opened up my inventory, getting the first achievement. I then continued to play, until I tried to place a workbench, where upon the game froze and quit. I tried again and the same happened. I started a new world, but the same thing happened when I tried to craft wood planks, which isn't an achievement. Is this just me? Fai 00:51, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

On A Rail
Does it count if you make a circle with one or two boosters and wait until you reached 1 km or do you need to go 1 km away from your start point? Maybe we could write this in the article. --Pedi94 16:11, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
 * You have to go 1 km from where you started unfortunately. :(
 * Yes, and this poses an obstacle if your longest tracks have right angles in them. --Theothersteve7 17:57, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
