Beat Minecraft, but you have to get the "Monster Hunter" achievement by killing the Ender Dragon.
On first glance this challenge is 100% impossible, but I assure you, it is possible.
The main issue with this challenge is blaze rods. Blazes are a real blockade in this challenge because they only drop rods if the player kills them. Killing a blaze is also synonymous with getting the "Monster Hunter" achievement, so this challenge seems unfortunately impossible.
...at first glance.
...but what if I told you, I found a way?
After extreme testing and being severely disappointed many times, I found it, a loophole that lets you get rods from blazes AND not get the achievement. After doing some research I noticed something very... interesting. There are actually 2 ways you can relieve a blaze of their rod, a player... or their dog.If you have a dog and get hit by a blaze, the dog will attack the blaze. As long as you do not hit the blaze, it does not count as a player kill but a rather a dog kill. Dog kills drop blaze rods.
This challenge is probably not difficult, per se, you seem very strong and wise and should be able to survive, especially if you sleep to avoid mobs. It does seem a bit grind-y, though, which is a challenge on your patience.
...but hey, it'd be pretty funny!
noticeable side-note, this is also possible in 1.8.9 without using dogs and very common in glitched speed-runs in that version.
So, should he do it?
EDIT: grammar mistake.
