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.
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.
More statistics and achievements will be added over time as we develop the game. They’re only stored locally at the moment, but we’ll slowly be rolling out online storing of achievements over time.
In this initiative, I believe that in order to roll out more achievements within the development of Minecraft, which can be based by our suggestions, a different perspective as to how the achievements will be designed shall be taken to consideration. A perspective that is faithful to the Words of Notch.
Take into account of this man's reasoning:
Quote from AdventureIslands »
I wish people would actually use their heads and stop making up achievements that are:
1. Impossibly hard (like survive a minecraft year on hard without taking any damage.)
2. Incredibly stupid (die 50 times, seriously, achievements like that aren't fun.)
3. Total chore (collect over 9000 of block x)
4. Too luck based (witness a mob being struct with lightning)
Some people pull ideas out of their ass without thinking if the achievement makes any sense at all, throw a diamond in lava, kill yourself x times. Seriously people, do you really WANT to throw a diamond to lava? Make the achievements FUN without too much labor and luck.
Achievements suggested:
Attempt to fish a ghast.
Power redstone.
Mine diamond.()
Attack and destroy a creeper that is about to explode.
Use sticks and string to make a bow.
Use flint and steel to make fire.
Other suggestions:
Journey to the Center of the Earth Enter the Nether. Free Falling |or| Do a Barrel Roll! Fall from extreme height. Your New Best Friend Befriend a wolf. Good Boy! Have your wolf attack and destroy a monster. Set Sail Use planks to make a boat. Nom Nom Nom Eat a cooked porkchop. Tactical Offense |or| Warrior Attack and destroy a skeleton without being hit with any of his arrows. Man of Steel Wear a full suit of iron armor. Millionaire Wear a full suit of gold armor Flower Power Use a flower to make dye.
I will be adding more achievements given the time and consideration, which will not take too long given your help if you are to take part in this initiative. Many thanks to those that do, and for those who do not are welcomed regardless.
Also, here's a list of the achievements that are already in Minecraft, just for reference:

Sorry.
But your list is more organized :happy.gif:

EDIT: Fixed up the OP for that reason. :tongue.gif:
Mine your first diamond ore
Feet First into Hell
Enter the neather
Fall from a 25 block high area or more and survive.
^Spider webs will make this easy, along w/ water. Oh well. :smile.gif:
Light sometime on fire with a flint and steel
Nom Nom Nom
Eat a cooked porkchop
Fixed?
:tongue.gif:
Warrior.
Take down 100 enemies without dieing.
Super Warrior.
Take down 100 enemies without being hit.
Get struck by lightning.
Ride the Lightning
Defeat a charged Creeper.
The Word of Notch does not call for those kind of achievements, for they can be perceived as a chore.
Although... this is more suiting:
Warrior
Attack and defeat a skeleton without being hit with his arrows.
Exactly what I wanted to hear. :biggrin.gif:
I would like memes as well, but not too many. :wink.gif:
We already have "The Lie" as an achievement already. :tongue.gif: (So why not more.)

Then making a mod that reflects that concept, except its for Minecraft would be crazy! (but very fun. :tongue.gif: )
