Minecraft has various advancements that players can achieve by performing various activities in the game. This is a fun way to urge gamers to do more in the title and earn some rewards in the process. While getting certain advancements is easy, others are not. The one called "How did we get here?" is among the most difficult ones. It requires the player to be under the effect of all status effects present in this game at the same time.

Recently, a Redditor by the name of u/E1eventeen posted a video of how they managed to get the advancement after trying 17 times. The footage shows how they tried to get various kinds of status effects as quickly as possible.

In the caption, they mention various contraptions and methods they'd used to get the most difficult advancement in Minecraft:

"You can’t see it in the clip due to warden darkness, but I have a whole setup in this area dedicated to repeated attempts because I could never get the timing right. There is a name tagged warden in a wool box distracted by a piston, a shulker (plus a few backup shulkers) in the piston box that is also connected to the spectral arrow dispenser."

Continuing to explain what his achievement involved, he said:

"A tunnel from the surface has a Minecart track for brown mooshrooms and shulkers, as well as a pit for me to transport dolphins in the event that they somehow die in the soulsand box also covered in wool. There is also an automatic brewer that sends me the seven potions I needed, because after 17 attempts it got grueling to mass brew lol."
