I play casual mode a lot and I’ve noticed the goals get somewhat repetitive, especially since it seems like many of the harder goals used in ranked aren’t in casual mode. I wanted to share some ideas for goals that aren’t insta goals you’ll always be able to do in the first 30 seconds but also aren’t super hard, along similar lines of difficulty as other casual goals I’ve seen

- Catch a fish
- Get the tactical fishing advancement
- Eat every kind of fish
- die to suffocation, die to lava
- Travel by boat for x blocks
- Visit X number of biomes
- Craft a fermented spider eye
- Place an item in a shelf
- Power a shelf
- Get 5 different colors of carpets, get 5 different colors of beds, get 3 (?) different colors of bundles
- Get x color stained glass pane
- Dye water in a cauldron
- Survive a 50 (?) block fall (maybe hard to measure? Idk)
- Obtain the Those Were the Days advancement
- Trade with a piglin
- Kill a blaze, kill a wither skeleton, kill a hoglin
- Get a dried ghast
- Get the wither effect
- Kill a strider

power a shelf is good it rly needs to be added

noura 🜛2 months ago

dried ghast is kinda already a goal pretty much, there's one for obtaining the "stay hydrated" advancement

isawabelle2 months ago

harder goals are removed from quick play yea, and having more easy goals (either as quick play exclusives or some could even be in ranked too) to make up for that kinda makes sense
only one here that shouldnt be added it get a dried ghast, since get the stay hydrated advancement is already a goal (tho idk if it is in quick play or not)

noura 🜛2 months ago

i don't see why it couldn't be in quickplay

isawabelle2 months ago

is stay hydrated an available goal in qp?

noura 🜛2 months ago

i haven't queued qp so i can't say i've seen it but it's not a hard goal

DriftSythe2 months ago

some of the harder goals aren’t in qp it’s just whether or not it’s considered hard

brinaOP2 months ago

I’m almost positive it’s not in qp because I’ve played quite a bit and haven’t seen it

how do u power a shelf

noura 🜛2 months ago

any redstone pulse at all

noura 🜛2 months ago

1 button ez

brinaOP2 months ago(edited)

With any redstone, including buttons, levers etc

Uniquepotatoes2 months ago

also you cant dye water in a cauldron in java

noura 🜛2 months ago

bottoms

noura 🜛2 months ago

good catch i didn't notice that

brinaOP2 months ago

True good catch

brinaOP2 months ago

autocorrect is my top foe

isawabelle2 months ago(edited)

i think place your whole hotbar onto a shelf at once might be more fun then just power a shelf, tho that might be too long of a goal esp for qp

noura 🜛2 months ago

you get 6 shelves from 1 craft right? i don't think it's too long

isawabelle2 months ago

oh right i forgot u dont just get 1

isawabelle2 months ago

Uniquepotatoes2 months ago

the random stripped log recipes mojang added are funny

brinaOP2 months ago

they really are lol

DriftSythe2 months ago

I was wondering what that meant

pinkpuff2 months ago

I like these and also eat every kind of fish is a good goal that should be added entirely

DriftSythe2 months ago

we don’t need more eating pufferfish and ending up on half a heart for 3 months goals

pinkpuff2 months ago

elephant2 months ago

~~eat~~ find a pufferfish bc the nearest warm ocean was 3k blocks out

EliteMaster2 months ago

for the 50 block fall one, maybe u could do caves and cliffs advancement?

EliteMaster2 months ago

so it would become annoying like getting to height limit but also overlap with that

blanket addict2 months ago(edited)

I like: catch a fish, obtain tactical fishing advancement, die to suffocation, die to lava, power a shelf (or some variant of it I feel like powering a block is kinda a weird definition, but I think it should need other resources if it's just place item in a shelf it's too simple), some kind of wool dye colours goal (carpets or beds or normal wool, but probably for only 1 type of item and then the number you need scales, though maybe 5 bed colours is different enough to also exist), and get wither

isawabelle2 months ago

i mean fill a shelf would work fine imo, it already requires 6 stripped logs, 1 iron ingot + 2 iron nuggets and then 3 items to put in
but power is more interesting as a kinda niche mechanic

blanket addict2 months ago

why do you need iron

noura 🜛2 months ago

why iron?

noura 🜛2 months ago

oh chains are for the hanging sign recipe. shelf is only 6 stripped logs

isawabelle2 months ago

wait

isawabelle2 months ago

im dumb

noura 🜛2 months ago

ur gooddd

blanket addict2 months ago

I guess power is basically just as easy but I think it's enough moving parts to work as an ultra early game goal

isawabelle2 months ago

theyre very similar recipes

blanket addict2 months ago

I was kinda thinking of the "swap hotbar with shelves" goal suggestion though which I think would be the best shelf goal

blanket addict2 months ago

because it interacts with the player more directly and is a unique thing and involves more time and setup

noura 🜛2 months ago

true

isawabelle2 months ago

for the wool dye colours, could it not just be making the "obtain 64 of x wool/concrete" like 16 instead in qp? seems not too hard to change

isawabelle2 months ago

tho even maybe 8 would be better

isawabelle2 months ago

idk i dont play qp lol

blanket addict2 months ago

I don't know anything about quickplay either I'm kinda just viewing these as suggestions in general

blanket addict2 months ago(edited)

because I feel like it's better to not have quickplay exclusive goals and if there's just more early game goals in general then it should fix the problem (and I think if it's a good quickplay goal it'd probably good for normal draftout too)

blanket addict2 months ago

so I have no idea how to modify goals for quickplay at all

isawabelle2 months ago

does comp need more early game goals tho?

isawabelle2 months ago

like it feels quite balanced where it is now

blanket addict2 months ago

I think so in the sense it should have more of every goal type

noura 🜛2 months ago

yeah i think new early game goals is better than qp exclusive ones

blanket addict2 months ago

same ratio more variety

Coreybirdo2 months ago

theres a goal in my forked version called fill a shelf with shelves and its similar to the place item frame in an item frame which i think is a silly early game goal

Coreybirdo2 months ago

noura 🜛2 months ago(edited)

i love that

brinaOP2 months ago

The 64 of x wool color goal exists in qp. I like the idea of getting a certain number of different color beds/carpets bc it forces more dye collection variety. I think the ideal number of different colors to get should be a handful more than the max variety in any single village/structure to force a little more foraging strategy for dyes. Like maybe 6-8ish roughly? Idk I’m such a simp for colors and dyes so it sounds fun to me

I really like craft fermented spider eye and catch a fish

blanket addict2 months ago(edited)

idk if I like fermented spider eye because it seems prone to being spider spawn RNG if both players have access to overworld brown mushrooms

blanket addict2 months ago(edited)

but it'd basically be the same as like obtain dispenser and obtain tnt

elephant2 months ago

obtain tnt is mostly bt ime

elephant2 months ago

ig comparable to “die to firework”

blanket addict2 months ago(edited)

well on the seeds where nobody finds tnt from a bt or temple by nighttime

TNT4442 months ago

There is science to being on good terrain for mob spawns when night starts
