Minecraft

Hello, and welcome to the Minecraft walkthrough! Here are your two choices.

The preferred and faster method - If you have a friend who has the achievements set up, by all means enter his world, and use their supplies to get the achievements. No doubt that this is the fastest way, but not the most fun I'd say.

OR

Do it all yourself or with friends. We will be using the tutorial for about 3/4 of the achievements. (except for The Lie and When Pigs Fly).

We will also do everything to get the achievements in the fastest way possible!

Playing on peaceful can net you all of the achievements aside from Monster Hunter, so we will be playing on that difficulty for the last four achievements, as we need a bone to tame a wolf.

Minecraft is about crafting items/tools for you to use. The better material you use for said tool, the better the tool is going to be. Here is a list of materials that are used when making tools.

Wood - Not fast acting or durable. The only reason we will use this is to get the achievements, and to get our first bit of stone.

Stone - This is what we will use most of the time until we find diamond. It has a decent speed, and a decent durability. If it wears out, there's stone all around you to create another one.

Gold - Fast acting, but less durable than wood, therefore it is not very useful as a tool. We'll use the ingots for the powered rails instead.

Iron - Second best item to make tools with, but we will be saving our ingots for the rails.

Diamond - Fast acting and very durable. Once you have enough diamond to make a diamond pickaxe, make one. You will not regret it.

For the first 15 achievements, we will be using the tutorial world which will make things go by a lot faster. Just watch the video by Arkonauts, or look for my walkthrough directly under if you don't want to watch the video.

So first, you need to find a tree and get 7 blocks of wood, getting us our first achievement of the game.

Getting Wood10 (10)

Punch a tree until the block of wood pops out.

• Unlocked by 58,215 tracked gamers (99% - TA Ratio = 1.00) 58,789

After that, press X and create 28 wooden planks. Then use those wooden planks to create 20 sticks. At that point you should make a crafting table and set it by the furnace, netting us our second achievement.

Benchmarking10 (10)

Craft a workbench with four blocks of wooden planks.

• Unlocked by 57,065 tracked gamers (97% - TA Ratio = 1.01) 58,789

Now that you have a crafting table, go into it and create a wooden pickaxe, shovel, hoe, axe, and sword (get ready for the long list of achievements):

Time to Mine!10 (10)

Use planks and sticks to make a pickaxe.

• Unlocked by 56,172 tracked gamers (96% - TA Ratio = 1.02) 58,789

Time to Farm!11 (10)

Use planks and sticks to make a hoe.

• Unlocked by 50,164 tracked gamers (85% - TA Ratio = 1.08) 58,789

MOAR Tools16 (15)

Construct one type of each tool (one pickaxe, one spade, one axe and one hoe).

• Unlocked by 52,066 tracked gamers (89% - TA Ratio = 1.06) 58,789

Time to Strike!11 (10)

Use planks and sticks to make a sword.

• Unlocked by 51,825 tracked gamers (88% - TA Ratio = 1.06) 58,789

Now that you have an axe, use it by collecting 18 more blocks of wood, then use your pickaxe to mine 3 blocks of cobblestone behind the furnace ,and use it to make a stone pickaxe.

Getting an Upgrade16 (15)

Construct a better pickaxe.

• Unlocked by 54,460 tracked gamers (93% - TA Ratio = 1.04) 58,789

Now that you have a lot of stuff filling up your inventory, press Y (achievement get!) to swap the wooden pickaxe with the stone pickaxe on the quick-select.

Taking Inventory10 (10)

Open your inventory.

• Unlocked by 58,624 tracked gamers (100% - TA Ratio = 1.00) 58,789

Right behind the crafting table where we got cobblestone, we need to dig about 10 blocks deeper to find some coal and iron ore. We need a lot. After you're done with all of the mining, swap the wooden planks with cobblestone in your inventory, find the hole you used to dig down from, and hold LT+A right under it to get back to the surface.

Also, with all of this cobblestone, we need to make a second furnace for two reasons: 1.) achievement, and 2.) it doubles the amount of what we can smelt/cook simultaneously.

Hot Topic16 (15)

Construct a furnace out of eight cobblestone blocks.

• Unlocked by 54,858 tracked gamers (93% - TA Ratio = 1.03) 58,789

Open the first furnace, and place 1 wood (not wooden planks, wood) as the ingredient and 1 coal as the fuel to create charcoal, ending the tutorial sequence. Now open the second furnace and put all of your iron ore as the ingredient and all of your remaining coal as the fuel (this is an achievement, not a tutorial).

But while that's happening, we need to remove some sand at the edge of the lake, making it touch the dirt so we can farm with it. So equip your hoe and till the land by pressing LT. After that, collect high grass until you get 6 seeds (3 for bread, 3 for cake), which may take a while, and plant them. Also, put the sand in the furnace to make some glass for the time being.

Now to the right (--->) of the crafting table/furnaces there is a lake with some fishing rods in a chest. Cast the rod, wait until it submerges briefly, and press LT again to cast it back, giving you a raw fish. Go back to the furnace where you made the glass and put the fish as the ingredient. Wait until it's done ,put the fish in your inventory, and eat it.

Delicious Fish18 (15)

Catch and cook a fish!

• Unlocked by 40,110 tracked gamers (68% - TA Ratio = 1.21) 58,789

Now check the other furnace and if the iron smelting is done, collect all of the ingots.

Acquire Hardware16 (15)

Smelt an iron ingot.

• Unlocked by 51,536 tracked gamers (88% - TA Ratio = 1.07) 58,789

For now, you need to make an iron sword and chestplate to protect yourself from the monsters when you kill them. Now would be a good time to equip your armor and clean out the inventory/quick-select to put the useless things out of quick-select. Now, use the rest of the wood to create wooden planks, and make 20 sticks with those. Wooden planks for house, and sticks for arrows. Arrows require flint, sticks, and feathers. Go flint farming around the shelter.

Flint farming is where you keep digging up gravel until one of them drops a piece of flint, usually a 10% chance with flint and gravel. Feathers drop from chickens and zombies, so you can kill some chickens in the village before it turns nighttime. Also, when you see a cow, killing it earns us yet another achievement in under 20 minutes:

Cow Tipper15 (15)

Harvest some leather.

• Unlocked by 55,566 tracked gamers (95% - TA Ratio = 1.03) 58,789

Now go to the end of the village with the minecart/track and that red stuff on the ground (called Redstone Dust), we need that for a dispenser, so go ahead and hit it to make the redstone come out (there's some at the other end of the track, too). After that, we can finally go back to the village and craft as many arrows as we want.

Now it's time to finish the miner's shelter with those wooden planks (and that glass we have for windows!), so go ahead and do that quickly, as nighttime should be approaching soon. Also, create a wooden door so monsters don't sneak in at night. When it turns nighttime, pause, go into settings and turn the gamma up to 100% to make it easier to see during the night. Now it's time to go monster hunting!

To start, if we can, we need to kill a skeleton (we need bones for later on) and a few spiders (string too). After you kill your first monster, whatever it is, here's 20 more G:

Monster Hunter21 (20)

Attack and destroy a monster.

• Unlocked by 54,965 tracked gamers (93% - TA Ratio = 1.03) 58,789

One skeleton should do the trick for the bones (we need at least 1), but we need about 3 or 4 spiders since we need about 3 pieces of string or so. Start hunting! By the way, if you see a creeper, hit and run. Once the area is clear of threats, craft a bow using the sticks and string you acquired. If you find a creeper kill it with the bow. You'll get an avatar award if you want that, but if you don't, stay at the crafting table and make a dispenser with the redstone and cobblestone...

Dispense With This25 (20)

Construct a Dispenser.

• Unlocked by 37,417 tracked gamers (64% - TA Ratio = 1.25) 58,789

Also, you need to create some bonemeal with the bones, so do that and use it on the wheat to make it grow instantly. Once you have the wheat, make bread in the crafting table for our 15th achievement and the end of the quick achievement speedrun.

Bake Bread23 (20)

Turn wheat into bread.

• Unlocked by 42,922 tracked gamers (73% - TA Ratio = 1.17) 58,789

From here on out, the last 5 achievements will take a lot of work (or a friend's world and help, either way). So get a friend and get ready for one heck of a ride (literally, On A Rail!).

With these last 5 achievements, I will tell you the seeds (if applicable) to build the world upon or how to in the tutorial, and I will also tell you some tips to get the achievement itself.

For "Into The Nether", we have another video from Arkonauts in the tutorial world. I have another text guide for those people who need to read to fully comprehend.

First, collect about 64 cobblestone, and craft a flint and steel as well as a bucket. That will take a flint and 4 iron ingots. After that, go toward the village but take a left to find a pool of lava. Clear some dirt to make easy access to the lava and an infinite water source. Also, craft a 2x2 hole right near the lava to form the infinite water source. Head to the well in the village and fill it up. That should take about 2 trips to fill up.

Now make a 6 square long space to be the support for the portal. Place 2 cobblestone at each end, and make a 2 block gap. Put the lava in the 2 square gap (on the left is where it needs to be placed) and get some water to place on the right, making a block of obsidian. Remove the cobblestone and put the lava on the right and put the water on the left, making the base complete. Fill the rest of the 1st layer with cobblestone and create the support structure for layer 2.

For the next 3 layers, use the same technique except putting the lava on the right , the water on the left the first time, and lava on the left with the water on the right the second time. On the 6th layer, though, it returns to lava on the left and water on the right then lava on the right and water to the left.. After that, remove the cobblestone framework and ignite the portal using flint and steel. 1 down, 4 to go!

Into The Nether48 (40)

Construct a Nether Portal.

Now comes "The Lie". I don't know a seed, but I do know you can't use the tutorial world.

Baking a cake involves gathering 3 milk buckets, an egg, 3 wheat, and 2 sugar. So we will need 2 sugar cane, 3 seeds, 1 chicken, a cow, a hoe, and 9 iron ingots. With the sugar cane, you plant it on any dirt next to water until it grows up to 3. The sugar cane to sugar conversion is 1:1, so one planting will do. Next, keep hitting high grass until you have 3 seeds. Then, find more dirt by the water and use the hoe to plow it. Then you plant the seeds. When you see yellow tips on the top, you know the wheat is ready.

Now, either look around where a lot of chickens are for an egg or stalk one until it lays one, since chickens lay eggs about every 5-10 minutes. Now turn all of that iron into 3 buckets. Then go to a cow and press LT to milk it. After that, go to the crafting table and dinner is served.

The Lie50 (40)

Bake a cake using wheat, sugar, milk and eggs!

When Pigs Fly is our next cheevo in the walkthrough. For this the seed should be "888" (no quotations). The hardest part about this is getting the pig to be trapped!

Go over to the room made of cobblestone just past the 2 mountains on your left, look in the chest. Get the saddle ,and iron ingots to make an iron axe. With that, go chop down some trees to make a crafting table and make the axe. Now chop more trees. With all of this wood, create a wooden pickaxe to collect some cobblestone to create a stone pickaxe and shovel.Turn the rest of the wood into wooden planks, then sticks, then fences as pigs are hard to trap.

Now, try to trap a pig in a large area first, then trap him in a small corner. It's much easier to do that way. Now that the pig is trapped, use the shovel and pickaxe to create a hole at the end of the fence about 5 blocks deep. After that, remove the fence, get on the pig, and wait until he runs in.

When Pigs Fly59 (40)

Use a saddle to ride a pig, then have the pig get hurt from fall damage while riding it.

Leader Of The Pack is the 2nd hardest achievement in the game (if you're doing this yourself and don't have a friend's world set up already).

STEP 1: Start the world on easy and kill some skeletons until you have around 4 bones (you may only need one, you may need all four, it's random). STEP 2: Go look for a wolf. This is the hard part right here. Once you find one and have the bones in your inventory, DO NOT TAME HIM YET, save before you do. STEP 3: Go up to the wolf and tame it. Then, exit WITHOUT saving. Open up the world again and repeat step 3 until you have the achievement.

Leader Of The Pack38 (30)

Befriend five wolves.

The hardest and last achievement of Minecraft for the XBOX 360 is On A Rail. This will take a very long time to do. Get ready, this is going to be a long ride (as 500m is half of the world)!

First, make a pathway as you will face many obstacles on your path. Next is the hard part. You need 195 iron ingots (three stacks of 64 and one of 3), 18 gold ingots, 24 wood, and 2 stone (smelting cobblestone turns it into stone). With that, craft 47 sticks, 18 powered rails, a minecart, 496 rails (seven stacks of 64 and one of 48), a button, and 13 redstone torches. As for the powered rails, place one powered rail for every 38 regular rails (to remember, I would separate the regular rails into stacks of 38 so when a stack runs out, it's time for a powered rail). On our way we go!

Stack 2 pieces of cobblestone at the start and place the button on them. Start with 3 powered rails to rocket us to maximum speed until we get to the next rail. Now, use the 38:1 ratio of rails to go until you are at the very end, when you should put down a powered rail and NOT place a redstone torch beside the rail to make it stop instantly instead of crashing all over the place. Now, go back to the start and ride!
