Minecraft Java Edition – How to Get the ‘On A Rail’ Achievement

minecraft-java-edition

I'm a little confused by the On A Rail achievement in minecraft. Do I need to go to a point 1km manhattan/euclidean distance from where I started. Or If I went down 500m of track went back 500m of different track and ended up 2-3 meters from where I started would that count?

Best Answer

No, you have to travel 1000m (=1000 blocks) from the point where you started in one direction. The rails can go up and down but they have to go a 1000 blocks in one direction.

What I mean is that, you can divert from the path, but you have to have travelled 1000 blocks in one direction.

Let's say there are directions W,X,Y,Z.

W = Forward

X = Backward

Y = Right

Z = Left

Now, if you want to go 1000m in W direction, you can divert and go a bit Y and Z, but they will not be counted, similarly, X will also not be counted. You need to travel 1000 blocks only in W direction.
