Meh, I personally think it's too boring and uncreative. But I think the general idea for adding cooking achievements in general is good. An achievement for cooking the first iron lump would make sense. I also miss an achievement for cooking bread. Bread is unique because it has the highest cooking time in Minetest Game. I think the bread achievement could replace the achievement for simply eating bread.
Technically, the achivement could be triggered whenever the player takes the target item from the output slot of the furnace.
I generally dislike achievements which basically just ask the player to repeat boring/trivial task XYZ a big number of times. Small numbers are excusable but not very large numbers which end up just in repetitive work instead of playing. This is something more for a statistics mod, really.
Good achievements should be about actual milestones in the game. You know, when the player actually *achieved* something. :-) Like finding the first diamond ore, or mining the first real mese block.
But yeah, I gotta admit, I'm not entirely unguilty of the “large numbers achievements” and maybe I should contribute code to fix this. But at least I hope the numbers are not annoyingly high that it is a pressing problem. That's why I also asked for opinions on the existing achievements.
I'm creating
MineClone 2, a Minecraft clone for Minetest.
I made the
Help modpack, adding in-game help to Minetest.
