Minecraft fans share interesting and fun ideas for new advancements

Minecraft gives players different advancements when they complete specific tasks in the game. Something as simple as making a stone pickaxe will grant players the ‘Stone Age’ advancement. Meanwhile, if players get into the End Dimension to defeat the Ender dragon, they will get the ‘The End?’ advancement.

A Redditor by the name of 02ppa_ recently shared an image on the Minecraft subreddit showing a made-up advancement called ‘Star Trader.’ They then asked the community what advancement they would add to the game if given the chance.

A user by the name of daniellevy1011 had an interesting answer to this question. They said Mojang Studios should add a ‘Houston, we have a problem’ advancement when players break their elytra flying above the build limit. This iconic quote was heard whenever there was a problem during the Apollo 13 NASA mission in 1970.

User 1ronmanrulez added that the ‘Camouflage’ advancement is already present in Bedrock Edition but is missing in Java Edition. WM_PK-14 replied to the comment saying they remember it being an achievement on Bedrock Edition.

Perhaps the most interesting and exhaustive suggestion came from a user named SlakingSWAG. They provided around 30 different ideas for advancements, such as ‘Audiophile’ for collecting every music disc in the game and ‘Defused’ for killing a creeper right before it explodes.

A user by the name of Several-Cake suggested that a ‘Stay Gold, Pony Boy’ advancement for wearing a full gold armor while riding a horse could also be introduced. This is a reference to the book Outsiders by S.E Hinton.

Another Redditor by the name of Magicellie06 replied to the comment, saying they read the book in school and that the quote brought back memories.
