Achievements be a way to gradually guide new players into Minecraft 'n gift them challenges to complete.
there be currently 30 achievements.
In an interview by Gamasutra before February 25, 2011, Notch said: "I like achievements.
I be knowin' a lot 'o people don't, but I like them.
bin had th' idea to make achievements kind 'o like th' in-battle questin'.
So ye'd be able to spy wit' ye eye th' first achievement in a tree 'o achievements, 'n ye unlock th' top ones first before ye can unlock th' ones further below.
" He also said: "So th' first one might be to chop below a tree, or *** a chicken, 'n then these branch into more thin's ye can do.
woefully it would encourage people to give a go' new areas.
It could converge into a big task, like *** a dragon or somethin', which would put a kind 'o narrative into th' achievement tree.
" Finally, asked if such a move would risk leadin' players below a preset path, rather than encouragin' exploration 'n invention as Minecraft does in its current state, Notch said: "Definitely not.
"I'd want these achievements to feel like thin's ye can give a go', rather than these be thin's ye have to do.
People can follow them, but only if they want to.
Achievements can be completed in any battle mode, includin' Creative.
Some 'o th' achievements be available in th' Xbox 360 Edition, totalin' 400 gamerscore.
Notable differences include On A Rail, which requires 500 m 'o track instead 'o 1 km (due to smaller seven seas size at th' the hour 'o release), 'n some new achievements.
