Eat only dried kelp for three full game days. Status: Reported bugged.
PS5 trophy details
- Grade: Bronze. Set: Expansion Pack 7. No separately purchased DLC is implied by the catalogue's expansion-pack label.
- Missable: no story-ending lockout; the task can be repeated in an eligible Survival world. Eligibility can still be lost through settings.
- Difficulty: 2/10, Hizzle editorial estimate. Time: UNSURE. Hidden flag: UNSURE.
- Players: Solo route described; online play is not required by this method. Online required: no for the described route; local play can be used for the two-player tasks.
- Roadmap: mid phase of Minecraft PS5 Platinum trophy roadmap.
What to do
- Harvest kelp, cook it into dried kelp and prepare enough to be your only food for an extended attempt. Eat a piece to start the diet period.
- For the following three full in-game day-night cycles, eat only dried kelp whenever you need food. Staying awake in one safe session is a conservative route, not a proven universal reset rule.
- Check the trophy after the full period. If it remains locked, record your platform, version and world-day count before attempting another long wait. There is no checked guaranteed workaround here.
Before you repeat it
Reported bugged: MCPE-191465 records Android failures, including 26.33 Hotfix, and a July 2026 moderator reproduction extending through Day 6. Current PS5 26.60 reproduction and resolution are UNSURE. More waiting is not a guaranteed fix; exact sleep, logout and death-reset behavior also remains UNSURE.
Evidence and editions
The intended method is cooked dried kelp as the only food for three in-game days. Independent method agreement exists, but a mirrored issue remains Reopened with community consensus and Android affected versions through 26.33 Hotfix, last updated July 19, 2026. This does not establish a fresh or universal PS5 failure. Current PS5 26.60 resolution and a guaranteed workaround remain UNSURE. Stable Bedrock 26.60 notes were reviewed November 4, 2026. No in-game PS5 unlock test is claimed. PS4 players should use this route only for a matching trophy in their own stack; see Minecraft PS5 vs PS4 trophy differences. Xbox points and Java advancement equivalence are not established by this PS5 record.
