Mojang Studios just dropped a big update for Minecraft’s Bedrock Edition, letting players snag Achievements even when using add-ons. This is huge for folks who love chasing achievements but also want to mess around with add-ons, which wasn’t possible before since the two didn’t mix.
Minecraft is a mega-hit, with over 350 million copies sold and around 140 million people playing each month. To keep things fresh, Mojang keeps rolling out updates like Chase the Skies, which added cool stuff like the Happy Ghast mob, Dried Ghast block, Locator Bar, and more to the sandbox game.
Now, with this latest update for Bedrock Edition, players can earn Achievements while using add-ons. The catch? You can’t unlock past Achievements retroactively—you’ll need to redo the tasks to grab them. Mojang says this change lets players tweak their game however they want while still enjoying the full experience, including the thrill of earning Achievements. They also noted that some add-ons might make Achievements too easy, so they’ve set new rules to stop creators from making add-ons just for quick Achievement grabs.
Add-ons in Minecraft
Add-ons showed up in Minecraft back in 2024 and have been a hit. Created by the community, they bring new gameplay mechanics, items, mobs, and more, kind of like mods but available through the Minecraft Marketplace. You can get them for free or buy them with Minecoins.
This update should give players more freedom to play their way while still chasing Achievements. Since Minecraft is all about sandbox fun, this could really shake things up for those who like experimenting with new gameplay styles.
Recently, Minecraft got a few smaller updates too. One added the Lava Chicken Song from A Minecraft Movie to Bedrock Edition, which fans have been buzzing about. That same update fixed some bugs and tossed in minor quality-of-life improvements. Here’s hoping Mojang keeps the updates coming with more cool additions.
