The "How Did We Get Here?" advancement in Minecraft is one of the hardest and rarest achievements to unlock. To get it, you must have every status effect in the game applied to your character simultaneously. As of the latest versions, this means having 33 different effects all active at once, including both beneficial and harmful effects such as Absorption, Bad Omen, Blindness, Conduit Power, Fire Resistance, Hero of the Village, Invisibility, Levitation, Mining Fatigue, Nausea, Night Vision, Poison, Regeneration, Strength, Water Breathing, Wither, and several others
. Achieving this requires intense preparation and coordination. You need to gather specific mobs and items, such as a villager to get the Hero of the Village effect, a raid captain to get Bad Omen, a shulker for Levitation, a conduit for Conduit Power, and various potions and foods to apply other effects. Many players use complex setups involving multiple structures like villages, ocean monuments, ancient cities, and the Nether to arrange all these effects efficiently
. The process often involves:
- Preparing potions and consumables to grant effects like Strength, Speed, and Fire Resistance.
- Summoning and completing a raid to gain Bad Omen and Hero of the Village.
- Using a conduit and shulker to get Conduit Power and Levitation.
- Applying negative effects like Mining Fatigue (from the Elder Guardian), Nausea, Blindness, and Wither.
- Wearing equipment or using special items to gain effects like Glowing or Slow Falling.
- Coordinating all these effects to be active at the same time, which can be done by carefully timing the use of potions, mob interactions, and environmental effects.
The achievement is hidden, so it only appears once completed, and it is considered a major challenge even for experienced players. Some players have shared detailed tutorials and speedrun strategies to accomplish it, highlighting the need for precise planning and execution
. In summary, you get the "How Did We Get Here?" advancement by applying every single status effect in Minecraft to yourself at once, which involves a complex combination of potions, mobs, and environmental factors orchestrated carefully to overlap all effects simultaneously
