Probably the easiest achievement to get in all of Minecraft, this achievement requires the player to open up and survey their inventory. The default keybind for this action is “E”. However, it can be changed to whatever the player finds convenient. The inventory is where everything the player picks up will be stored, and beginners can go as far as to organize their inventory and hotbar for added convenience.


4) Getting Wood

Wood is likely to be a player’s first resource as they spawn into the vast Minecraft world. Wood is at the top of the tier list of Minecraft resources. It is used to make planks, sticks and subsequently tools and weapons. To achieve this, the player must first walk up to a tree and chop down wood by hitting the tree with their fists, which will prompt a block of wood to drop. Picking up that block will give the player the achievement.


3) Benchmaking

The first thing a player must do immediately after acquiring wood, is make a crafting table. A crafting table will be required to craft items that cannot be crafted by hand, like tools, weapons, armor and other items. For this achievement, the player must use four wooden planks in their in-hand crafting grid to craft a crafting table.


2) Hot Topic

To get this achievement, players must place eight blocks of Cobblestone in a crafting table to create a furnace and acquire it.


1) Bake Bread

Food is one of the most important resources in Minecraft. Among the many sources of food in the game, wheat is the most commonly found item. It can be grown by planting wheat seeds, which are available in almost every biome. This achievement can be earned by placing three pieces of wheat horizontally in a crafting bench, and obtaining bread.


Minecraft: Bedrock Edition is the only edition of Minecraft that makes use of achievements and not advancements. The whopping 114 achievements in this version can be tricky to earn, but many of them are suitable for beginners, and will set them on course to gain knowledge and experience, letting them acquire the rest of the achievements as well.
