Achievemnts in Beta 1.5

One of the major improvements in Beta 1.5 was the implication of achievements. These achievements start from as simple as opening your inventory to as complicated as riding 1 kilometer on mine cart track. This means mining a lot of iron which can be quite a strenuous task especially for the new player.

Though at times extremely difficult this achievement system could be improved to give minecraft a story line and a purpose. It provides a great deal of direction and adds a completely new element to the game.

It also serves as a tutorial of sorts which man people such as PaulSoaresJr already provide on YouTube. It will give minecraft a wider appeal.

I am at the moment unsure about how and if the achievement system will be implemented in SMP. This could mean more specialised servers and could make SMP even more exciting.

Though there is alot of improvement needed in the achievement system before the final release of minecraft I believe more Mojang it is another step in the right direction towards making minecraft one of the defining games of this generation
