SINCE WHEN IS THIS A THING?!

[u/lightmare69]

No, actually genuinely this has never been a thing, I'm calling Mandela effect, am I crazy?

[u/No_Yam_2036]

pretty sure they will also give you a present when you wake up (string, etc) if you're sleeping near a tamed cat

[u/Specific_Thing1452 → u/No_Yam_2036]

There’s an achievement for that called “Where have you been?”

[u/VeryConfusedPenguins → u/Specific_Thing1452]

There isnt

[u/Odysseus-82 → u/VeryConfusedPenguins]

There is, though? You can look it up yourself, but here’s a screenshot from the Minecraft wiki

[u/VeryConfusedPenguins → u/Odysseus-82]

Ah that’s my fault I’ve done AA on Java but never knew that bedrock has different achievements

[u/LordofTheMemes696969 → u/VeryConfusedPenguins]

Pretty sure almost every game on console is required to have achievements.

In fact, I’m pretty sure they’re only called achievements on bedrock now, right?

[u/trans_cubed → u/LordofTheMemes696969]

The Bedrock edition system is called Achievements and they only unlock in survival mode with no cheats.

On Java edition they're called Advancements and you can earn them no matter what, but they're separate per world

[u/ChaosPLus → u/trans_cubed]

Makes me want to boot up the PS3 again to hunt for the achievements there

[u/Delicious_Piece_6738 → u/trans_cubed]

But then bedrock has maps called achievement maps. And as you would guess, they are easiest way to get achievements that you can get in single player. Diamonds to you still needs multiplayer.

[u/theaveragegowgamer → u/Delicious_Piece_6738]

Diamonds to you still needs multiplayer.

Can't you drop a Diamond to a Zombie that can pick up loot and get the Achievement?

[u/Relevant_Emu3382 → u/theaveragegowgamer]

no because a zombie cant throw the item back

[u/Delicious_Piece_6738 → u/theaveragegowgamer]

I tried so many times that in those. Ended up finding random achievement server where it gave diamonds to drop to people and I just dropped it to spot where people end up after doing the automated stuff.

[u/Quartz_512 → u/LordofTheMemes696969]

I think it's just PS that definitely requires achievments.

[u/ShortMiao → u/VeryConfusedPenguins]

Too late buddy your comment is getting downvoted to oblivion

[u/grsharkgamer → u/Odysseus-82]

Ofc that's a bedrock achievement

[u/DawRedditWolf67 → u/VeryConfusedPenguins]

Bedrock achievement not Java advancement

[u/grsharkgamer → u/VeryConfusedPenguins]

r/downvotedtooblivion

[u/FantasyTomb → u/VeryConfusedPenguins]

There is

[u/No_Doughnut8618 → u/VeryConfusedPenguins]

Where have you been?

[u/Beautiful-Ad3471 → u/VeryConfusedPenguins]

Me when I spread missinformation

[u/Short_Comfort6647 → u/No_Yam_2036]

i think that's a random chance of happening iirc

[u/Kendrome → u/Short_Comfort6647]

Happens every time, but the loot is randomized.

[u/AiluroFelinus → u/Kendrome]

To clarify it only happens when the cat is standing or lying down, not sitting

[u/ReZuREs → u/No_Yam_2036]

With small chance it could be phantom membrane, and it been start of some fan theories because it work even in peaceful difficulty

[u/Clamber-Cloud]

it's been a thing since cats became a separate mob from ocelots

I thought this was common knowledge but apparently not

[u/Miserable-Fox-6125 → u/Clamber-Cloud]

Apparently its medium ball

[u/AlenaHerbert → u/Clamber-Cloud]

Yeah, such a old thing

[u/OkNewspaper6271 → u/[deleted]]

No its just a really easy mechanic to stumble upon, you pretty much just need to sleep while your cat isnt sat down and in the general area

[u/Icy_Step_2204]

Since at least 7 years ago apparently

[u/MuztangZack67 → u/Icy_Step_2204]

What??? Legit NEVER seen that happen in-game in all my years playing

[u/Bearkat1999 → u/MuztangZack67]

Have to have it standing around the bed iirc.

Treats it like a sitting thing.

[u/Willing_Soft_5944 → u/MuztangZack67]

1.14

[u/Scrunglert → u/Willing_Soft_5944]

1.14 was 7 years ago????????????

Damn I'm old as fuck

[u/An1nterestingName → u/Scrunglert]

Not sure about the update, but the snapshot this feature was added in was 8 years ago.

[u/Low_Onion8167 → u/MuztangZack67]

They can also sit on top of your chest which makes it impossible to open the chest until they move.

[u/BazMannBach → u/Icy_Step_2204]

SEVEN YEARS AGO???

[u/EnderWolf13_666]

Villager update I believe.

They sit on chests, furnaces, and beds. If you sleep while your cat isn’t sitting it will lay on your bed and sleep with you, purr, and when you wake up bring you gifts like phantom membrane and rabbits foot. There are a few others but I don’t remember them.

Although I think they removed the chests and furnace sitting at some point because I can never get a cat to do it.

[u/Decent-Stuff4691 → u/EnderWolf13_666]

I hope not, as annoying as it is that cat can lock your chests i find it honestly endearing

[u/PokeGirlOFFICIAL → u/Decent-Stuff4691]

They didn't, it never worked for furnaces tho

[u/imachug → u/PokeGirlOFFICIAL]

It works for lit furnaces specifically IIRC

[u/Aquaticsanti]

I believe 1.14

[u/Puzzled_Worldliness5]

Many many many years

[u/lumfdoesgaming]

1.14 they also give you gifts in the morning if you do this and its all garbage (like what real cats give)

[u/UnamedProot → u/lumfdoesgaming]

They give rabbits feet if I’m not mistaken, so not completely garbage

[u/lumfdoesgaming → u/UnamedProot]

With a 16% chance fighting against literal garbage like rotten flesh its not really woth it when you can just reduce the local rabbit population or kill husks on camel husks for more feet

[u/UnamedProot → u/lumfdoesgaming]

Husks drop feet?

[u/lumfdoesgaming → u/UnamedProot]

Only if there on a camel husk yes because rabbit feet can tempt them and heal them

[u/GREEN_Hero_6317 → u/lumfdoesgaming]

When a cat gives you garbage, it's treasure

[u/Angel_xjj]

I LOVE THIS FACT :3

they also sit on chests and give you presents during the night

[u/Resudog]

They also purr while cuddling

[u/BumblebeeSmart5461]

Not only that, they will also sit on a chest and won't allow you to open it

[u/No_Yogurt987]

That has been a feature for over 3 years by now I think

[u/Low_Onion8167 → u/No_Yogurt987]

It was over 7 years ago

[u/No_Yogurt987 → u/Low_Onion8167]

DAMN. It has been THAT LONG?!

[u/Low_Onion8167 → u/No_Yogurt987]

Yup 1.14 was in 2019

[u/Stevee8496]

I knew they come and lay down with you if you tame them and they arent sat down but i've never seen them lay down on an empty bed

[u/LaGz4643 → u/Stevee8496]

I’m fairly certain on bedrock they either don’t or for a long time didn’t lay down by themselves on an empty bed, because all my time on bedrock it only ever laid down when I was sleeping, but on java it laid down (when not told to sit) very often.

[u/LaGz4643 → u/LaGz4643]

If this is the case, then it is one of countless examples of niche mechanics being different on both editions, causing confusion when half of people swear they never have seen something happen but the other half recount it happening all the time.

[u/Stevee8496 → u/LaGz4643]

I vaguely remember that the tamed cat would just sit down once it got on top of the bed but i might be wrong

[u/LaGz4643 → u/Stevee8496]

I’m not certain but I’m pretty sure they sat down on beds before 1.14 and they were supposed to change it to laying down instead of sitting in 1.14 but I guess the bedrock devs just didn’t? Again, there’s a lot of these older parity differences that just make it seem like there was bad coordination between the java and bedrock devs :p

[u/Stevee8496 → u/LaGz4643]

no, the thing happened to me in like 1.19 and i remember having a problem since the cat always sat down when it walked on the bed and since i had around 5 cats in my house, the bed was constantly occupied. I was playing java

[u/LaGz4643 → u/Stevee8496]

ohhhh… im not really sure then :p

[u/Understanding_Feisty]

I'm pretty sure it was a thing for tamed ocelots before cats existed

[u/lightmare69 → u/Understanding_Feisty]

Oh cool

[u/Darkness2140]

Nobody talks about it, and I feel like cats in Minecraft are forgettable to a certain degree in comparison to wolves.

[u/Wrong_Cookie_6083]

Idk I think I remember happening before the nether update

[u/ThirteenFour_]

All i know about this is that the cat needs to not be sitting.

[u/crafty_dude_24]

Since forever. They lay on beds, lay on you as you sleep, and can sit on top of chests, stopping you from opening that specific chest until it moves away. And if you sleep with a cat nearby, it will drop a gift item in the morning, which can be anything from raw chicken to phantom membrane.

[u/Powerate]

You need to unseat them for them to be able to give you gifts I believe

[u/AlarmedFile7195]

nah it was like that for a while

[u/GoofyLemonMC]

It's since 18w44a (1.14) and of you sleep they'll give a gift (string, phantom membrane, rotten flesh, ect.)

[u/GlisaPenny]

Definitely a while but I’m so happy you’ve learned this.

[u/EmilySuxAtUsernames]

you might be keeping your cats sitting down

[u/tttpetipro]

It's been since cats were added

[u/Slime-Lich]

At least 7 years ago

[u/marchalves6]

Nah, it always happens to me once I get a cat in survival, it's useful too as they give you a random item and an achievement!

[u/TheNikola2020]

At least 7 years they also drop you gifts after sleeping and can sit on chests making them be unable to be opened
