* Minecraft had made quite a few achievements throughout its lifetime. Such as:
** Managing to [[http://gamasutra.com/view/news/33341/GDC_2011_Red_Dead_Redemption_Tops_Game_Developers_Choice_Awards.php win three awards]] at the 2011 Game Developers Choice Awards, including Best Downloadable Game, despite having technically been in alpha for most of its life and being up against the likes of ''VideoGame/{{Limbo}}'' and ''VideoGame/SuperMeatBoy''!
** The fact that [[http://kotaku.com/5913657/minecraft-breaks-call-of-dutys-grip-atop-xbox-lives-chart Minecraft knocked]] [[VideoGame/CallOfDuty a certain popular FPS]] off the top of Xbox Live charts is something for fans to be proud of.
** Outselling ''VideoGame/{{Tetris}}'' to become ''the best-selling video game of all time... '''on the exact date of its tenth anniversary'''''. Now THAT's dedication!
*** Re-surpassing Fortnite on trending around the same time is similarly awesome.
** Becoming the first indie game to receive fighter representation in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate''! Yeah, it's technically a Microsoft franchise now, but it ''started'' as an indie game before becoming as big as it currently is. To compare, ''VideoGame/ShovelKnight'' is an Assist Trophy, ''VideoGame/{{Shantae}}'' has two spirits, and ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'' and ''VideoGame/{{Cuphead}}'' only have Mii Costumes in the characters' likenesses (though ''Cuphead'' also got spirits). ''Minecraft'' is the first indie title to get a playable rep, '''''period'''''.

* How connected the creators are to the fanbase, adding in player's suggestions and mods to improve gameplay.
* Youtube user Lorgon111 did an entire series from spawn to killing the enderdragon without using the 3x3 crafting grid.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6l9PuQl3kQ0 Gods Don't Bleed.]] To elaborate, it's an animation that depicts infamous fanon menace Herobrine being forced to go up against small army of mobs, culminating in an Enderman nearly killing him on its own. The reason for the title? The ending shows Herobrine bleeding from his right hand. Not only is the fight itself epic, but the fact that those mobs had the guts to stand up to him in the first place is pretty darn great.
** Herobrine himself gets an impressive villainous MOA by showing the mobs just ''[[OneManArmy why]]'' the fandom considers him to be so [[TheDreaded scary]]. Only the Enderman gives him any trouble and even then, it doesn't take long for him to regain the upper hand.
** Now we have the sequel, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVs6XgjCRWs Gods Don't Die]]. The rebels have grown in number, leaving Herobrine to fight not only an army of zombies and skeletons, but also a whole ''legion'' of Endermen, which makes for some impressive Ender Pearl parkour, and an armada of suicide-bomber Creepers, from whom he barely escapes. The video ends with Herobrine crawling out of the wreckage of his palace, barely standing, after having fallen all the way from the roof following the Creeper attack. It takes the first video up to eleven in every way, and it's absolutely amazing.
* As mentioned in the above folder, a popular Minecraft gamestyle is "Survival Games", based on ''Literature/TheHungerGames''. Many maps and servers have it set up so that after a certain time limit, all remaining players are transported to an "arena deathmatch", a high-walled stone floor with lava underneath and a gap around the floor. To keep the players in, there are stone bars and bleachers above the wall, so it's practically impossible for anyone to escape. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rcf7Rbh91vI&t=33m06s Or not.]] Two players figured out that you could place water using a bucket (you're not allowed to place most blocks on most servers). In the arena, they first used this to drop down to the lava, creating a safe obsidian platform and killing one of the two other players. They then used the bucket to rise all the way up the outside wall, and hit each other with fishing rods to make it over the stone bars. After climbing up the stone bleachers, one used a fishing rod to knock the other onto the final wall, and the player jumped off, killing himself in the map but "escaping" from the arena. (The other went back and killed the remaining player, earning the in-game win; however, the other players decided the guy who escaped "won.")
* Using texture packs to make various things look cooler. An example would be retexturing [[PantheraAwesome cats]] into [[VideoGame/MetalGear Revolver Ocelots]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfS7RHnugTo&t=7m10s The Luckiest Minecraft Player Ever]], in which TheSyndicateProject mines a block directly underneath him in the Nether, falls directly into lava, must swim to a very far shore, is attacked by two Ghasts, and falls into a 2 by 2 lava hole. Even with protection from fire, he ''barely'' makes it out alive.
* A deviantART user tells this tale:
-->"This almost never happens to me in Minecraft. I was playing on an Aether 2 server with a friend, named cutedinos86. Our base got raided and I was killed. I kept going back and stalling the guys who invaded the base. Just then, one of them killed one of their number by sheer accident, of which there were three. I grabbed the loot, equipped everything, and proceeded to [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomp]] the whole lot. They were terrified at how badly it was suddenly going; a guy with better EVERYTHING than me didn't even try to fight. We proceeded to drain them of all their resources by killing them all multiple times when they tried to come back for more xD"

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzCoo7l1IpM A 200.000 TNT explosion]]. Yeah.
* Most of the music tracks are SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic; this game has some of the most calming music you could find in a videogame.
* [[https://youtu.be/WGD3cbyT-hI?si=gah6AnHOa7Fw4jHx Running a fucking fully-functional WINDOWS XP in the game]]. The power of modding has reached its peak.

* The Mace introduced in the 1.20 snapshots. It's a powerful weapon whose damage increases the higher distance you fall, which outright negates the FallDamage if you manage to strike any unlucky mobs and shoves away everyone else with the mighty impact. Players have even managed to OneHitKO the bosses, including the ''[[DamageSpongeBoss Warden]]''.

The fact that it's proven to be possible? [[Main/RuleOfCool Also yes]].
