Statistics are a system that got added to Minecraft in the 1.5 update. Notch talked about statistics (along with Achievements) on his March 18th Blog Post.

Achievements will NOT be chores like “cut down 10000 trees”, but rather challenges like “ride a pig off a cliff”. Stats, however, will be used to keep track of how many trees you have cut down. The long term plan is to show achievements and stats from the profile page on minecraft.net as well, in case you want to brag.

Notch on his blog[1]

The statistics window is divided into three sections: General, Blocks and Items. The General screen shows a multitude of generic statistics which are listed in the table below. The Blocks screen shows the number of times different blocks have been mined, used(placed) and mined. The Items screen shows the number of times different items have been depleted, crafted and used to destroy blocks. The buttons at the top of the Blocks and Items screens can be used to sort the list.

Statistic name Description

Multiplayer joins The number of times a multiplayer server was successfully joined.
Games quit The number of times "Save and quit to title" has been clicked.
Minutes Played The total amount of time played. This is not necessarily displayed in minutes - it displays in seconds, minutes or hours, whichever makes the most sense. If the game is paused this number ceases to increase. If "5.50 h" is displayed this means that you have played for 5 hours and 30 minutes (not 50 minutes).

Trivia

  • The statistics ignore metadata. As such, all types of wood, wool, saplings, and dye will be counted as the same item. Coal and charcoal are also treated as the same.
  • Firing an arrow from a bow does not count as using it.
  • "Times Crafted" includes smelting, such as smelting wood for charcoal.
