Minecraft grows up and reaches out.
Minecraft Dungeons is the next saga in Minecraft's story, and it looks like Mojang and Microsoft are hitting another one out of the park. Minecraft Dungeons combines the familiar world we all grew up on with an injection of Diablo, a whole lot of fun. Available on every platform you're on, for a ridiculously attractive price, what's not to love?
The full list of achievements in Minecraft Dungeons
All of the achievements in Minecraft Dungeons can be earned simply by playing through the game, so there's no secrets or tricks to get the last bit of gold out of the game. That being said, some of the game's numerous achievements range from hard to very hard to get and require a lot of preparation and patience. To get to 100% completion of the game, you'll need to have intimate knowledge of all the weapons, armor, unique gear, mobs, and artifacts.
Alternatively, you can just play through the game and quite easily earn several hundred gold just by finishing the game, and enjoy hours of action-packed content and looting-based fun that Minecraft Dungeons has to offer.

How to earn the hardest achievements in Minecraft Dungeons
While most of Minecraft Dungeons' achievements require nothing more than enjoying all the game has to offer, there are a few that require further explanation. Fortunately, you have us here to do all the legwork, and leave you with all the solutions. We're hard at work compiling all of the answers into handy guides, which we'll put here for your convenience.
Here are some of the hardest achievements to earn in Minecraft Dungeons, and how to earn them:
Medium difficulty
Life of the Party: This achievement needs you to be playing with friends. Whenever a friend or ally is knocked down in combat, you'll have precious moments to revive them and bring them back into the fold. You'll need to do this twenty times to earn this achievement, so better read up on how to play with your friends and family. Minecraft Dungeons will also support cross-play in a future update, further increasing your multiplayer pool.
Diamond Sword: The only prerequisite to earn this achievement is the merciless slaughter of hostile mobs. Playing through the game will inch you closer to this achievement, but getting all the way to 2,500 may require more than one playthrough or replays of older levels, including at higher difficulties, which increases the number of hostile mobs you can come across.
Break the Spell: Enchanters are illager-type hostile mobs that have no attacks of their own, but will make surrounding mobs significantly more dangerous by increasing their aggressiveness, health, and attack power. Earning this achievement shouldn't take too long (if you refrain from killing enchanters immediately), but can be difficult if you're not powerful enough. Best make sure your gear is as enchanted as possible.
Apprentice Adventurer: Every mob you kill, boss you defeat, and level you complete nets you some XP. You'll need quite a bit to reach Level 25, which is the requirement to earn this particular achievement. You'll level up through playing the game, but you can read our guide on leveling up to get some more tips, like replaying older levels at higher difficulties. Eventually, you'll reach your goal!
More For Me: Scattered throughout the many levels in Minecraft Dungeons are hidden secret (and not-so-secret) chests that contain valuable loot and emeralds. Finding these chests requires diligence, patience, and just a little bit of luck. Still, fortunately we have all the tips and tricks you need, including everything to know about piggy banks, which are akin to treasure goblins from Diablo.
Oooh! Shiny!: Emeralds is the currency used in Minecraft Dungeons for buying better equipment, important for achieving the highest level of power you can. Obtaining 5,000 emeralds, however, takes quite a bit of time. Fortunately, that's all it takes. Replay older levels, find hidden chests, and salvage old gear to accelerate the process. Besides, earning emeralds only helps you in the long run.
The Plot Thickens: Completing "the Plot Thickens" just means completing the third and fourth levels in the game, Pumpkin Pastures and Soggy Swamp. The reason this achievement earns the "medium difficulty" tag is that these levels are when the first bosses are introduced to the game. The first is a mini-boss known as an evoker, which we already have a guide on defeating. The other will have to wait for us to get our hands on it!
Built On Sand, Set in Stone: This achievement continues through the story, requiring you to take on increasingly difficult mobs, challenges, and bosses. The farther you get, the more important it is to check your gear and artifacts to make sure you're as powerful as you can be. We'll update this section the moment we have more comprehensive guides for taking on these bosses.
Worked Like a Charm: This achievement is a little out of the way if you're not certain what to do, but you should be able to do this by the end of a playthrough if you focus. Enchanting gear in Minecraft Dungeons requires leveling up and gaining enchanting points, which means playing through the game to earn XP. Each enchantment type has three tiers to unlock, which each successive tier requiring more enchanting points.
A Friend in Need: Minecraft Dungeons features three different companions that will aid you in battle in different ways. The three companions are the wolf, iron golem, and llama. Each companion has a unique artifact that's required to summon them, after which they'll do whatever they need to do. This achievement is actually very easy to finish, the hard part is simply finding the artifacts necessary for each companion, and then using them.
Hard difficulty
Expert Explorer: The "Expert Explorer" achievements takes the difficulty of the "Apprentice Adventurer" achievement and more than doubles it, requiring you to reach player Level 50. At that point, you should be extremely powerful, but you'll also need to severely up the power of your opponents to continue to gain enough XP to be worth the hassle. This means replaying levels at higher difficulties, and making sure your gear is as good as possible with enchantments.
High and Dry: The first story-based achievement that earns the "hard difficulty" tag, if only because in the three levels you need to complete for this achievement, you'll face a full boss. This ends up being major challenge after major challenge leading up to the final boss. This is the perfect time to replay older levels and earn better gear to find the best possible build that suits your playstyle. No holds barred from here on out.
Saved the Overworld: After all this time, you're finally here: facing the intimidating Arch-Illager as your final opponent in Minecraft Dungeons. This means you need to best possible set-up with the best possible enchantments at the highest level you can achieve. The Arch-Illager is an absolutely insane final boss, and will definitely leave an impression on your memory. We'll update this section when we have a guide written up because there's a good chance you'll need the help.
Maxed Out and Geared Up: This is one of the harder achievements in Minecraft Dungeons, if only because it's time-consuming to accomplish. Having fully maxed out gear is actually incredibly useful, and significantly increases your overall power and ability in the game. Doing this just means replaying older levels to gain XP and earn nicer gear through looting, carefully selecting which weapon, armor, or unique gear you want to power up, then investing the enchanting points earned through levelling up. You'll need a lot to max out a piece of gear fully, and not every gear can do it.
Very hard difficulty
High Treason: This is the only achievement in Minecraft Dungeons that we felt deserved the "very hard difficulty" tag, and that's only because we felt "impossible difficulty" was a little intimidating. This is the hardest achievement to earn by a considerable margin, if only because it requires playing through the game multiple times to even unlock the difficulty necessary. Then it's an uphill battle to move through the game and defeat the Arch-Illager at his most powerful.
If you're going to attempt to tackle this harrowing accomplishment, you'll need to pull out all of the stops. This means studying all of the weapons, armor, and unique gear to find the best possible loadout for your playstyle; then replay older levels to earn emeralds and increase your chances of actually obtaining the upgraded gear through buying or looting; then carefully enchant all of your gear with the best possible enchantments; and round it all off with a killer combination of artifacts.
Then, and only then, can you attempt this. And even then, it'll be difficult beyond belief.
Dungeon crawler, gold digger
Overall, Minecraft Dungeons has a great mix of achievements for players to earn. Most of them are gained just by playing the game, and those who are more determined to gain bragging rights can put in the extra time to tackle the most difficult achievements, like defeating the game's final boss on the hardest difficulty (which requires completing the game multiple times and awesome gear). No matter who you are, there's a lot of stuff to do.
