Minecraft/Achievements
The game contains achievements that point player in the right direction. The current versions that are confirmed to have achievments are the PC/Mac/Linux version, and the Xbox 360 Edition version (Arcade & Disc).
Also, along with the in-game descriptions of the achievements, I will also put in literal descriptions if the In-game one is not exact.
