This achievement is only obtainable in Minecraft
version 1.2.3 or later (stable and released to the public on October 18, 2017). If your game is not running the current version, you'll be prompted to update your game to newest version.
If you have played
Minecraft: Xbox One Edition (Console Edition), read below on how to sync your old worlds over to this new version.
*** Spoiler - click to reveal ***Scroll to the bottom on the Worlds tab. Press on Sync Old Worlds.
In about a few minutes or less it will show a list of your old worlds. Press on the one you want to convert.
Give it a minute and it will convert the world to the new version.
NOTE: The "Active Cheats" setting must be disabled upon first run of any old synced world. If you do not disable it, achievements will be disabled!
NOTE 2: If you find that an old world you had already synced has the "Active Cheats" setting enabled, you must delete the world and re-sync it as you won't be able to unlock achievements in that world's current state.
Once your old world is converted, go back to the top of the list and highlight the pencil icon, then press .
Press (or ) to highlight Game, then press .
Press (or ) to move over to Game Settings.
Scroll down the list (using and/or ) a little and find "Active Cheats".
If the slider is to the right, press to disable it. The slider should now be to the left to indicate that it is disabled.
Press (or ).
Press (or ).
Press on Play to load the old world.
Lets assume you are an awesome archer and your accuracy with a bow is 100%, you'll need the following:
A world that is at minimum set to Easy difficulty (Normal or Hard also works).
1
Bow.
Some
Arrows (5-10 at minimum).
Now to find a
Skeleton, which can spawn almost anywhere in
the Overworld at a light level of 7 or less (i.e. usually at night and away from any light source).
The distance...
1 meter = 1 block (length/width/height)
So... you need to be at least 50 blocks or more away when the killing blow is made to the Skeleton. Achievement unlocked!
Be warned, Skeletons (and Strays) are hostile mobs. They will attack (with their arrows) if you get close to them! Skeletons can drop 0-2 Arrows when killed.
Note: Usually hostile mobs will burn and be killed off when the sun rises, however, any hostile mob can survive daylight if it touches water.
Note:
Strays might count as well, but I haven't tested this. 80% of Skeletons spawned directly under the sky in ice/snowy biomes will be Strays.
But what if you were starting a new world and you don't have the items pre-made listed above? Here is what you need:
Flint (5-10 at minimum)
Feathers (5-10 at minimum)
3
Strings5
Wood (tree trunks of any kind)
First, find a tree (yes, a tree) and punch it (mine it with your bare hand;
) to get a piece of Oak Wood. Or better, use any type of
Axe if possible.
Repeat this process again with another piece of Oak Wood.
Press
to open the Crafting menu. Highlight "Oak
Wood Planks" (or whatever type of planks for the type of Wood you have) and press
to make 20 Oak Wood Planks using the 2 Oak Wood we obtained earlier.
Now highlight "
Crafting Table" and press
to craft one. This will use 4 of the Oak Wood Planks we made earlier.
Now highlight "
Stick" and press
to craft 32 Sticks. This will use the remaining 16 pieces of Oak Wood Planks.
Press
to exit.
Here is the tricky part. Gathering the remaining stuff needed for the Bow and Arrows.
To gather Flint, find a block of
Gravel and mine it. When a block of Gravel is mined, there is a 10% chance that a single piece of flint will drop instead of the gravel block.
Mine the Gravel block with a
Fortune-enchanted tool to increase the drop rate % (up to 100% with Fortune III).
Never use a Silk Touch-enchanted tool to mine Gravel if you are attempting to gather Flint!Gravel blocks can be mined without a tool (empty hand) if needed.
From here on, you might want a Wooden
Sword (or better) for killing mobs.
Gather Strings by killing
Spiders or
Cave Spiders. You can also destroy
Cobwebs with a
Sword (or
Shears) to obtain Strings.
Note: Spiders and Cave Spiders will not spawn in a world loaded on Peaceful difficulty.
One you have 3 pieces of String...
Look at the ground and place your Crafting Table down.
Press
to open the Crafting Table.
Now highlight "Bow" and press
to craft.
Press
to exit.
You might want to consider breaking the Crafting Table (mine with
) so that you can take it with you. We will be using it again later.
Find and kill a
chicken (
or is it a duck?). It will drop 0–2 feathers.
Find and ill a
parrot. It will drop 1–2 feathers.
One you have 1 Flint, 1 Stick, and 1 Feather (or more of each)...
To make a stack of 64 Arrows, you'll need 64 Flint, 64 Sticks, and 64 Feathers, but 5-10 of each should be enough if you have good accuracy.
Look at the ground and place your Crafting Table down.
Press
to open the Crafting Table.
Now highlight "Arrow" and press
to craft using all materials you have.
Press
to exit.
