Find a dungeon
P counter in F3 spikes once you are in 16 block radius of spawner
Spawner only spawns when you are close, mobs naturally only spawn far away from you (Useful by looking at nametags when F3 is active)
Dungeons generate next to air (mostly caves)
For fast runs or multi-instance might be worth resetting for spike on spawn
After dungeon located
Open inventory first Get 4 logs Crafting bench, wood pickaxe+sword 3 cobble, stone pickax 6 cobble, stone axe+shovel+sword Frontload about 6 logs of wood Any sapling that drop can be helpful later, but not required

Dungeon loot:
- required (else reset): saddle
- extra: buckets (first 3 buckets count as 3 iron), iron, string, wheat, food
Other Required items:
- 2 String
- 1 Bone for every 3 Wheat you have to grow
- 8/16 Cobble (depending on how much Iron you have to smelt)
- 1 coal for every 8 iron you have to smelt (not required if wood accessible)
- 20 iron
- kill at least 1 monster (Monster Hunter)
- 3 wool for bed (optional)
Wait for egg (5-10 minutes after chicken spawned)
Find chicken, craft furnaces, smelt iron
trap as many chickens in a close area as possible chickens may despawn if you get >32 blocks away from them
Overlap this:
- craft (bed), wood hoe, fishing rod, bone meal, boats (more are safer)
- farm seeds, farm wheat, craft bread
- craft 3 buckets, minecart(s) and rails
- mine wood for extra boats, use saplings if you have spare bone meal
If possible:
- farm fish and cook it after iron is done
- get milk from cow
- kill cow for leather
- when pigs fly setup
- find 2 sugar cane and craft 2 sugar (can be done easily without leaving boat during On A Rail)
Endgame
Complete tasks
On a rail (big looking ocean):
- on a rail setup
- Boat 1k blocks (explanation), you can get sugar cane during this ride but you can't leave the boat. Overlap crafting or inventory management while driving for an extra little timesave
- If the ocean stops, use this when applicable, otherwise try again or reset
- Avoid Boat break when touching blocks: Be slow enough for no water particles next to the boat, or if you are faster make sure you hit the blocks in a right angle (+-10°)
- Place rails and minecart, then enter it without leaving boat
- Mining/Placing blocks in boat: Make sure block is highlighted (easier if facing backwards)
Important tips
Use Beta 1.5_01 because seeds dont require tall grass, they can be obtained from using a hoe on grass blocks
You can only get 'Bake Bread' from crafting bread, so dont worry about eating bread from dungeon loot
Sometimes you get 9+ iron from dungeon, remember that you can get milk early
'When Pigs Fly' has to be done after getting the leather achievement
Right clicking in a boat can cause dismount, best keep away from all mouse buttons during On A Rail
Sleeping in complete darkness (cave or after 20 seconds past first possible sleep) causes 'nightmares', when a zombie or skeleton spawns on you as you try to sleep. This can be used to your advantage, if you want to sleep it's best to dig below ground to not allow monsters to spawn
Do not try to fight a skeleton in water
Rare strat: You can use torches to force a large number of passive mobs to spawn in a small area at nighttime
We have updated the rules for All Achievements. Changing the requirements for a completed run from "Obtain all achievements" to "Obtain all possible achievements". The reason for this change is to allow versions Beta 1.8 and Beta 1.8.1 to run all achievements, because it is impossible to obtain the
