Achievements are a way to gradually guide new players into Minecraft and give them challenges to complete. Achievements were added to Minecraft on April 19, 2011, in the Beta version 1.5 update.<poll>
Speaking to Gamasutra,[1] Notch said: “I like achievements. I know a lot of people don't, but I like them. I've had the idea to make achievements kind of like the in-game questing. So you'd be able to see the first achievement in a tree of achievements, and you unlock the top ones first before you can unlock the ones further down."
He also said: “So the first one might be to chop down a tree, or kill a chicken, and then these branch into more things you can do. Hopefully it would encourage people to try new areas. It could converge into a big task, like kill a dragon or something, which would put a kind of narrative into the achievement tree.”
Finally, asked if such a move would risk leading players down a preset path, rather than encouraging exploration and invention as Minecraft does in its current state, Notch said: “Definitely not. I’d want these achievements to feel like things you can try, rather than these are things you have to do. People can follow them, but only if they want to.”
The Beta 1.4 update was originally intended to include achievements and statistics; However, implementation was pulled from the release because it was not yet functional.[2] It was implemented into Beta 1.5 instead.
As of 1.7.1, achievements are separate for each world. So you have a separate record of your achievements in each individual world. Your achievements in your Creative world do not carry over to your Hardcore world. The achievements in the Console Editions use the trophies and/or badges built into the operating system of the console, so they are not specific to each world, and can be viewed without opening Minecraft.
Achievements can be completed in any game mode, including Creative, except in the console editions, where, presumably because of their being universal, they can only be earned in worlds that have not been created or saved in creative mode or with host privileges active.

Notes
- Achievements unlocked by picking up items will not be triggered if an item is moved directly from a Chest to the player's inventory. It must be dropped, then picked back up.
March 18th Update 编辑
On March 18, Notch talked about Achievements and Statistics on his Blog.[3] He said the following:
| “I worked on the achievement and stats system. One design issue was dealing with offline mode and syncing the achievements once you get a connection again, but that’s been solved. We’ve got a couple of people in the office who don’t like achievements in games at all, so the goal is to design something that they’re fine with.„ |
Also, he added that Achievements will not be chores:
| “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.„ |
Interface 编辑
Test achievements can also be found within Minecraft Beta 1.4's source code, and the test video posted by Notch. Among these are opening the inventory, mining wood and building a workbench.
Preview Video 编辑
On April 8, 2011, a video was uploaded to YouTube showing weather, statistics and achievements. [4]
Bugs编辑
- The achievement "Sniper Duel" used to be unachievable under any circumstance, but was fixed in Version 1.1.
- As of beta version 1.7, achievements would reset themselves when the game is exited.
- The achievement "Overkill" states that eight hearts of damage must be dealt in a single hit, when in fact nine hearts of damage are required to unlock the achievement.
Trivia 编辑
- The "Cow Tipper achievement can be obtained by killing horses.
- As of 1.0.0, there are exactly 27 achievements.
- Custom Achievements can be made using various third-party sites.
- The first achievement confirmed by Notch was "When Pigs Fly", although it was more explained than named.
- "The Lie" achievement is a reference to the promised cake in the game Portal that is thought to be "a lie", and the Internet meme "The Cake is a Lie" that is of the same promised cake.
- The player can reset all of his/her Achievements by deleting the "stats" folder in the .minecraft app data folder. Beware that it also resets Statistics.
- Completing achievements without their prerequisites will not count, despite the ability to do so legitimately.
- This, however, does not affect the PS3 Edition.
- There are neither Gold Ores nor Lapis Lazuli ores in the Achievements Menu background.
- Contrary to popular misconception, "Achievement Get!" is not a grammatical error, but a deliberate reference to a decade-old proto-meme. Early screenshots of Super Mario Sunshine used the Japanese localization, and featured Mario grabbing a "Shine" item with the prominent text "Shine Get!". Due to the prominence of the game and the attention given to these screenshots, "[noun] Get!" subsequently became a popular term used on image boards as post count benchmarks, which Notch occasionally visits.
- Texture packs affect the background of the achievement tree.
- Overkill is "the use of excessive force or action that goes further than is necessary to achieve its goal, most commonly in acts of extreme violence." [5]
- "We Need To Go Deeper" is a reference to the movie Inception.
- "Return to Sender" refers to a message often written on non-personal letters, usually in case that a letter ends up at an incorrect address.
- A "Local Brewery" is a local place where beer is brewed.
- Prior to Beta 1.9 pre-release 6, the image used by "The End." was that of a Monster Spawner; this was because the Dragon Egg was not implemented at that point. This was changed upon its addition.
- "Adventuring Time" is a reference to the show "Adventure Time".
- "Beaconator" could be a reference to Wendy's "Baconator".
