Tutorials/Advancement guide

This guide is intended to show players how to obtain each of the 55 advancements in Minecraft. For a more information about advancements in general, see the advancements page.

Basics
Advancements are basically tasks to complete that will help guide the player advancing them further into the game. Some of the more advanced advancements will also give the player experience as a reward. Advancements are organized into 5 categories: Minecraft, Nether, End, Adventure, and Husbandry.

Even though many advancement has a parent and is a parent of another advancement, it does not matter which order you complete the advancements, the parents of advancement 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 from one another, despite them having parents.

Minecraft
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 left-click on a wood block until it breaks, then collect the dropped block by walking over it.

Wood blocks 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.

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

If you turned on bonus chest when you created your world, there is a good chance that it will contain either wood logs, wood planks, or both. If you have these, you probably won't need to get any wood to create a crafting table. However, it's good to collect some anyway, because you will need more in the future.

Finally, put one of the four wood planks you got into each container of your grid (a 2x2 square of wood planks). You can right click to place a single plank into the grid, instead of all four. Once you get your crafting table, you should get the advancement.

Parent of: Stone Age.

Stone Age
Mine stone with your new pickaxe

Requirements: Have a cobblestone block in your inventory.

First, place your crafting table on the ground by holding the crafting table in your hand and right-clicking 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 extra wood in order to have enough to make a wooden pickaxe.

To get the actual advancement, you must find stone, and mine it with your wooden pickaxe to get cobblestone. Exposed stone can be found on the sides of hills and in ravines/caves. If there are no hills, ravines, or caves nearby, you can always find stone by digging down.

If you do find a cave, do not go deep into it, because you will encounter monsters. If a monster comes out of one, you should be okay if you just run away. Zombies and skeletons will burn in the sun, and most common monsters that are not zombies will not target the player if they are further than 16 blocks away.

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.

Now arrange your sticks and cobblestones in the crafting table to make a stone pickaxe:

Parent of: Acquire Hardware.

Acquire Hardware
Smelt an iron ingot.

Requirements: Have an iron ingot in your inventory.

This advancement is possible only after you've found iron ore (technically you don't have to, as iron ingots can be found in village blacksmiths and dungeon chests, to name two examples). It's easiest to find iron ore in caves, but because caves have monsters in them, they are not recommended to adventure into them until you have some armor and weapons. If you're lucky, you will find an exposed surface with iron ore. Otherwise, you can 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 very common. You can usually find iron in caves very quickly, unless they are high in the air.

Once you find iron ore, mine it with your stone pickaxe. Then make a furnace and put the iron in a furnace, yielding an iron ingot:

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.

Parent of: Suit Up | Hot Stuff | Isn't It Iron Pick.

Suit Up
Protect yourself with a piece of iron armor.

Requirements: Have any type of iron armor in your inventory.

You need to collect at least four iron ingots.

Arrange the iron ingots in the crafting table to make at least one piece of the following armor:

You will get the advancement when you put one of the pieces of armor in your inventory.

Parent of: Not Today, Thank You.

Hot Stuff
Fill a bucket with lava

Requirements: Have a lava bucket in your inventory.

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

Now, all you have to do is find lava and your bucket to fill it up. Lava lakes can be found in plains biomes or underground. However, the most lava is found at Y = 11 and below.

Parent of: Ice Bucket Challenge

Isn't It Iron Pick
Upgrade your pickaxe

Requirements: Have an iron pickaxe in your inventory.

This advancement can be achieved by making an iron pickaxe, which requires 3 iron ingots.

Deflect an arrow with your shield

Requirements: Block an incoming arrow using a shield.

First, you need to craft a shield:

Then you need to find a skeleton, or another player to help you. Holding the shield, hold right-click, as they shoot at you.

Diamonds!
Acquire diamonds

Requirements: Have a diamond in your inventory.

Get a diamond in your inventory to get this advancement.

First of all, you must find diamond ore. Diamond ore is very rare, but by either branch mining deep down in the world or exploring caves that go very low, you will eventually find one. Mine it with your iron pickaxe, and collect the dropped diamond.

Parent of: Cover Me With Diamonds | Enchanter

Ice Bucket Challenge
Form and mine a block of obsidian

Requirements: Have an obsidian block in your inventory.

Use three diamonds to make a diamond pickaxe:

You also need a bucket of water: find water and right-click it with your bucket.

Next, you need to go down to the bottom of a cave, at below Y-level 12. Find a lava lake, and pour the bucket of water next to the lava. An alternative method is to find a plains biome 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.

Parent of: We Need to Go Deeper

We Need to Go Deeper
Build, light, and enter a Nether Portal.

Requirements: Enter the Nether dimension.

First of all, you will need to build a nether portal. For this you need 10 obsidian, an iron ingot, and a piece of flint. Make your Nether Portal using the obsidian like so:

Then, use your iron and flint to make flint and steel, and light your nether portal frame with it. Once you go into it, 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.

Parent of: Zombie Doctor | Eye Spy

Zombie Doctor
Weaken and then cure a zombie villager

Requirements: Turn a zombie villager into a villager.

Throw a splash potion of Weakness at a zombie villager and give it a golden apple (by facing the zombie and pressing the use key with a golden apple in your hand). Then, wait a few minutes. Don't let the zombie burn in the daylight (splash potion of fire resistance may be useful here).

If you don't have an igloo near your spawn, your best bet to gather these supplies would be to go in the Nether and gather ingredients for a brewing stand and then for a splash potion of weakness. If you have igloos near your spawn, about half of them have a basement underneath them, supplying not only all the ingredients needed to cure a zombie villager, but also a zombie villager itself.

Eye Spy
Follow an Ender Eye

Requirements: Enter a stronghold.

Enter a stronghold to get this advancement. Strongholds can be found by using eyes of ender. Throw eyes of ender up in the air and following which direction they go. When you throw them and they go into the ground, dig where they went underground, until you reach stone bricks, which is the stronghold.

Parent of: The End?

The End?
'''Enter the End portal.

Requirements: Enter the End dimension.

Jump into an end portal, which is found in End portal rooms in strongholds. You will get the advancement before the actual terrain loads. Once the End's terrain loads, you will get "The End" advancement (the difference is the question mark). Make sure you come prepared before going to the End, because the only way out is to either defeat the ender dragon, or die in the attempt.

Bring summer clothes
Enter a nether portal.

Requirements: Enter the Nether dimension (Same as 'We Need To Go Deeper').

To get this advancement, you will need to enter the Nether dimension. Do this by walking into a nether portal, and then you will appear in the Nether.

Parent of: Subspace Bubble | A Terrible Fortress | Return to Sender

Subspace Bubble
Use the Nether to travel 7km in the Overworld.

Requirements: Travel at least 875 blocks horizontally from your original Nether Portal in the Nether, and then create and enter another Nether Portal in that location.

To get this advancement, you will need to use the Nether to travel between two points in the Overworld with a minimum horizontal distance of 7000 blocks between each other.

Horizontal distances are scaled down in the Nether by a ratio of 8:1 for travel in the Nether. This essentially means that for every one block you travel in the Nether, you travel eight blocks in the Overworld. This also means that you must travel at least 875 blocks in the Nether in order to travel 7000 blocks in the Overworld.

Completing this advancement will reward the player 100 experience.

A Terrible Fortress
Break your way into a Nether Fortress

Requirements: Enter a Nether Fortress.

Enter a nether fortress to get this advancement. Look for a dark structure with many rooms and hallways, made of nether bricks. Sometimes one may have to travel a long ways in the Nether in order to find a Nether fortress.

Parent of: Into Fire | Spooky Scary Skeleton

Return to Sender
Destroy a Ghast with a fireball

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

Parent of: Local Brewery

Spooky Scary Skeleton
Obtain a wither skeleton's skull

Requirements: Have a wither skeleton skull in your inventory.

Get a wither skeleton skull in your inventory. Wither skeletons, found in nether fortresses, have a small chance of dropping one upon death.

Parent of: Withering Heights

Uneasy Alliance
'''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. However, it is possible. The hardest part is getting the ghast through the Nether portal. There are two main ways of doing this.

The first way is to use a ginormous nether portal. What you need to do is first of all, when you find a ghast, build a giant Nether portal, the bigger the better. Then, stand on the other side of the portal, and lure the ghast into the nether portal. However, this method costs a lot of obsidian, and is very difficult unless in Creative mode.

Another way is to use a fishing rod to lure a ghast through a nether portal. This requires a nether portal big enough for a ghast to fit through, but it does not have to be ginormous. Basically, launch a fishing rod towards the ghast repeatedly, and when it hits the ghast, move to the other side of the Nether portal, causing the ghast to go through. This method is cheap, but if the ghast starts shooting fireballs, the fishing rod will break. If you choose to complete this advancement this way, you must fish for the ghast very quickly.

Something to keep in mind is that ghast explosions can destroy nether portal blocks, so always have flint and steel with you.

Completing this advancement will reward the player 100 experience.

Local Brewery
Brew a potion

Requirements: Have a potion (with effects) in your inventory that was brewed using a brewing stand.

Before beginning, you will need blaze powder (made from a blaze rod), glass bottles (made with 3 glass), and of course, a brewing stand, made like so:

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.

Fill 3 glass bottles with water (from any water source or cauldron). With just 3 water bottles and a certain ingredient, you can brew awkward potions, mundane potions, or thick potions. Thick potions and mundane potions have no use, so it is better in the long run to brew awkward potions, because they are the basis potion for nearly all other potions.

To make an awkward potion, first put the 3 water bottles in the water bottle lined slots. Then, put 1 nether wart, which can be found in nether fortresses, in the top potion ingredient slot, and if you are playing the Java or Legacy Console edition, put 1 blaze powder in the top left slot. This should give you 3 awkward potions in replace of the water bottles and nether wart. Once you get the bottles into your inventory, you will get the advancement.

Awkward potions can further be used to make many other potions that can effect the player and/or other entities. Note that in multiplayer you can also get this advancement by obtaining a base potion from another player, and then brewing it into another potion.

Parent of: A Furious Cocktail

Withering Heights
Summon the Wither

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

Create the wither boss mob. Place 4 soul sand on the ground in a T shape, and place 3 wither skeleton skulls on the top 3 soul sand. The wither will immediately spawn, but cannot deal any harm nor be done any harm for 10 seconds, until it explodes into its full self with full health. At this point, as long as you're within a 100.9 x 100.9 x 103.5 cuboid when the wither explodes, you will get the advancement.

For more information on the wither, what to expect, what to prepare, and how to fight the wither, see "Wither" and "Tutorials/Defeating the wither".

 * Extend using Redstone.
 * Use Beacons.

Completing this advancement will reward the player 100 experience.

Parent of: How Did We Get Here?

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, diamond, or emerald. 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, or emerald 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 right-click on a beacon, you can give the beacon iron ingots, gold ingots, diamonds, or emeralds to get a special powers. The higher-level beacon you have, the better powers you can get.

Parent of: Beaconater

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

Requirements: Have every status effect possible in survival mode without using commands or external software.

To get this challenge advancement, you need to be affected by the following 26 (28) status effects at once: Before attempting this advancement, you must have killed both the ender dragon and the wither, so that you can reach the outer islands of the End and can craft a beacon. Also, you must collect an enchanted golden apple, three wither skeleton skulls, a pufferfish, and spectral arrows, and you must brew extended potions of Strength, Weakness, Swiftness, Slowness, Leaping, Night Vision, Slow Falling, and Invisibility. In addition, you need to be wearing armor, preferably iron or diamond. You must wear the turtle shell on the helmet.

First, find an unexplored ocean monument (such that it still contains elder guardians) that is within 1024 blocks of a stronghold. Build two nether portals: one near the stronghold's end portal, and the other near the ocean monument. Confirm that both portals lead to the same portal in the Nether, and that the portal in the Nether leads back to the stronghold.

Second, find an unexplored end city (such that it still has shulkers guarding the entrance) that is near an end gateway portal. Do not approach the shulkers, or they may accidentally attack each other while trying to attack you. Place a beacon on a level-1 pyramid next to the end city, then power it so it grants the Haste effect. A short distance away, make a T out of four blocks of soul sand. If you are playing on the easy difficulty setting, transport a wither skeleton. In front of the shulkers, create a pool of water that is at least 2 blocks deep. Transport a dolphin using a water current that leads the dolphin to the end gateway, and the end city on the other side of the end gateway. Then, activate a conduit by placing prismarine blocks around a conduit in the middle of a 3x3x3 water source block cube.

You may wish to back up your save file now, so that if you mess up or die during your attempt, you will not have to start over from scratch.

Start your attempt near the ocean monument. Drink all five of the beneficial extended potions, which grant their effects for eight minutes (Strength, Speed, Jump Boost, Night Vision, and Invisibility). Approach the monument so that an elder guardian curses you with Mining Fatigue for five minutes. Proceed to the nether portal and enter it, then immediately enter it again to be warped to the stronghold. Enter the end portal, then enter the end gateway portal that leads to the end city. Around this time, drink the two negative extended potions and the Slow Falling Potion, with effects that last only four minutes (Slow Falling, Weakness and Slowness). Proceed to the end city, where the beacon will continuously grant you Haste as long as you remains within 20 blocks. Place the wither skeleton skulls on the soul sand to spawn the wither, and let it attack you to be inflicted with Wither for 40 seconds. Eat the enchanted golden apple to receive Regeneration, Absorption, Resistance, and Fire Resistance. Immediately run over to the shulkers guarding the end city, and let them attack you to gain Levitation for ten seconds. Eat the pufferfish to receive Hunger, Poison, and Nausea. After that, equip your bow, look straight up, and briefly hold and release the attack button to shoot the spectral arrow so that it immediately falls back down and inflicts you with Glowing. Use an ender pearl to teleport yourself into the water. Then, swim in the pool with the dolphin to get Conduit Power and Dolphin's Grace.

Completing this advancement will reward the player 1000 experience, which is the equivalent of 6 1/2 levels if the player previously had no 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 of height 4 (excluding the beacon itself).

Be near a beacon when it is powered by a full-size level 4 pyramid. To create this, place blocks of iron, gold, diamond, and/or emerald 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.

What you need to do in this advancement is kill a skeleton with an arrow that you shot at least 50 blocks away from the skeleton. The best way to do this is to first trap a skeleton into a 1 block area, using fences, so that you don't have to deal with a moving target. Then, make sure you are at least 50 blocks away from the skeleton, and shoot your arrow at about a 45 degree angle towards the skeleton. It may take many tries to shoot correctly. You will get the advancement once the skeleton is killed by the arrow.

If you don't want to waste durability on your bow, you can hit the skeleton with another weapon for a certain number of times, until you can shoot the skeleton with one hit. You will get the advancement as long as when the skeleton is killed it was hit by your arrow. If you have an iron sword, diamond sword, or any type of axe, you can hit the skeleton twice with that weapon before shooting the skeleton with a fully charged arrow in one hit.

The Parrots and the Bats
Breed two animals together

Requirements: Give two of the same animals in a close proximity a food item that makes them go into love mode, and wait until a baby mob spawns.

Right-click on one breed-able animal with the item that they can breed with, and then right-click on another animal nearby with that item, and they will come together and make a baby. Cows, sheep, and chickens are probably the easiest animals to breed, because they don't require very expensive items. Cows and sheep breed with wheat and chickens with seeds.

Also, you can breed tamed wolves with any type of meat and tamed ocelots with any type of fish. However, wolves and ocelots are a little bit rarer than most animals.

See the chart under the advancement "Two by Two" for details on what item each animal needs to breed.

Parent of: Two by Two

Best Friends Forever
Tame an animal

Requirements: Give a tameable mob a certain amount of its respective food/item until hearts show up.

Tame one of the 5 tamable mobs in the game: horse, llama, ocelot, parrot, and wolf. Horses include donkeys and mules.

Parrots and ocelots can be found in jungles. Parrots can be tamed by getting right-clicked with seeds, and ocelots can be tamed with any type of raw fish. Note that ocelots are scared of humans, so you must have the raw fish in your hand and stand still, letting the cat come to you.

Wolves are found in forests, taigas, cold taigas, and mega taigas. Wolves can be tamed with bones. Beware that if you accidentally attack an untamed wolf, it and its whole pack will start attacking you.

Horses and llamas are tamed differently than other tameable mobs. To tame a horse or a llama, keep right-clicking them. The first few times, they will buck you off, but eventually, they will let you stay on and you will see their health. This means that you have tamed them successfully. Horses and donkeys are found in plains and savannas, and llamas are found in extreme hills and savanna plateaus.

A Seedy Place
