A bit over a year ago I was once looking through the changelogs for Minecraft's 1.19 Update on their official site. I've later then looked up the changelogs of the same update, but on the formerly official Minecraft Wiki for the more technical details. But while I was skimming through I remembered that Minecraft's Feedback site also contains changelogs, which is where most of those for Bedrock Edition's updates are, as they don't really have their own articles unlike Java Edition. Knowing that I went to the feedback site and search for the same update changelog, but only to see if there was any difference between this and the article. As it turns out there is a difference, but it was something that I didn't quite expect. In the list of Advancements, there is this:

This very advancement isn't mentioned anywhere else in other changelogs. I even went to check the game files to see if it just went unused, but found no trace of such advancement.
Those who know a lot about the game can assume that it's likely a Bedrock Exclusive achievement since that has happened before, but it doesn't seem to be the case. The only place where this advancement that doesn't even exist in the game at all is brought up is on the feedback site.

But, even after knowing about all this, what do I even do with it? Well, during that time I was working on a data pack that aimed to bring parity closer between Java and Bedrock. That data pack adds in advancement that were exclusive to Bedrock over to Java. And while this particular advancement isn't really of a parity issue, I thought of adding it in as an "Easter egg" of sorts. Now, I thought might as well share it here on this site. Who knows, it might end up in a future iceberg video (which isn't likely to happen to be honest, but it'd be funny if it did.)

Here is the link to the site that has this nonexistent advancement. Still surprised that it's still up there to this day. But, in case the site happens to change to remove the advancement, here's an archive. If you've read this far, thank you for reading about me blabbering about something that no one else would bother to know about in a sandbox game lol.
