Best Friends Forever

Best Friends Forever is a task advancement in the Husbandry tab of Minecraft's advancement system, carrying the in-game description "Tame an animal." It branches directly off Husbandry, so that earlier advancement is its prerequisite and must be earned first. The Husbandry tab covers advancements related to farming, animal breeding, food, and the natural world. Best Friends Forever was added in Minecraft 1.12 and is still in the 26.2 advancement set.

It is rated Easy difficulty on this site: can be completed quickly with minimal resources. Good for beginners. It uses the standard task frame, meaning it is a normal step in the tree rather than a goal or challenge milestone. 4 further advancements branch out of it: Good as New, The Whole Pack, A Complete Catalogue, and Shear Brilliance.

In tree terms, Best Friends Forever sits first along its line: the full path from the Husbandry root reads Husbandry -> Best Friends Forever. That means 1 advancement must be completed before this one becomes available, and Best Friends Forever is one of 31 total advancements in the Husbandry tab. It shares its parent with 12 sibling advancements (Bee Our Guest, The Parrots and the Bats, A Seedy Place, Fishy Business, Glow and Behold!, Whatever Floats Your Goat!, Total Beelocation, Bukkit Bukkit, Smells Interesting, You've Got a Friend in Me, Stay Hydrated!, and Uh Oh), all of which open from the same point in the tree.

Best Friends Forever grants no experience directly; its value is progression rather than a point payout.

Earning it unlocks 4 follow-on advancements, Good as New, The Whole Pack, A Complete Catalogue, and Shear Brilliance, each of which becomes trackable only once Best Friends Forever is complete.
