A Minecraft player has achieved a remarkable feat by unlocking 26 achievements through a single arrow shot with their crossbow. In Minecraft, there are a total of 125 achievements that players can earn by engaging in various activities within the game. This player's accomplishment may very well be a record-breaking achievement in terms of the number of accomplishments obtained in a single shot.
In Minecraft, players have the opportunity to earn achievements for a multitude of actions, such as crafting different items, surviving for over 100 in-game days, and completing the tutorial. As a result, many players may already have a handful of achievements simply from their casual exploration of the game. However, one player has ingeniously discovered a swift method to unlock an impressive 26 achievements simultaneously by utilizing a crossbow and leveraging certain Minecraft status effects.
A Reddit user with the username Immediate-Lie-5119 recently shared an impressive Minecraft achievement collection in a video. The video showcases a clever tactic where several Minecraft enemies are stacked on top of each other within a narrow gap. Through a window made of cobblestone and Sculk blocks, the player shoots a crossbow arrow that passes through the enemies and hits a button on the other side. This triggers a chain reaction resulting in the unlocking of a total of 26 achievements.
The elimination of the stacked enemies leads to achievements such as Ol' Betsy, It Spreads, and Monster Hunter. Additionally, according to Immediate-Lie-5119, the arrow activates a Redstone mechanism that unlocks achievements like Who Is Cutting Onions and Serious Dedication. In addition to these achievements, Immediate-Lie-5119 also completes achievements like Who's the Pillager Now, Voluntary Exile, Arbalistic Take Aim, Acquire Hardware, Spooky Scary Skeleton, Getting an Upgrade, Bullseye, You Need a Mint, The Next Generation, Into Fire, Isn't It Iron Pick, Diamonds, Cover Me with Diamonds, Smells Interesting, Suit Up, Sky's the Limit, Hidden in the Depths, Cover Me in Debris, Hot Stuff, and A Furious Cocktail.
The video concludes with Immediate-Lie-5119 examining the resources dropped by the defeated enemies after recovering from some damage caused by ingesting poison.
Though killing numerous enemies in Minecraft can earn the player six achievements, the remaining ones are obtained by triggering a hidden button and causing a chain reaction. Immediate-Lie-5119 explained that the Bullseye achievement is obtained by hitting a target located 50 blocks away, fulfilling the distance criterion. While obtaining 26 achievements from a single action is a remarkable feat in Minecraft, Immediate-Lie-5119 believes they may be able to achieve 28 after making some adjustments to their strategy.
Minecraft can be played on various platforms, including mobile devices, Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, Xbox One, and older versions.
