We aren't limiting progression any more than the current achievements - we'll recommend you do x before y, but if you do y before x then that's entirely your thing!
Mods or maps or anyone making their own custom advancements can change that, of course. This is the decision we made for vanillas own advancements.

I suppose if you're wanting a slightly deeper answer, mine would be "control." I was around 14 or 15, so agency over my own life was somewhat limited, a fact accentuated by the fact that my household has always lived dangerously close to the poverty line. My school started a program where everyone got Macbooks to use for school, and one of the first things I did was find a way to play Minecraft on it, as I'd heard so much of the game during the preceding year. My own little world, where what I say goes, law and financial situation be damned. I had full agency over at least that tiny little piece of the universe in the laptops hard drive.
I figure we all have at least one piece of media that just happened to be in the right place at the right time for us, and Minecraft is one of mine. Admittedly, I don't play it quite as often as I used to. Now that the reigns have been lifted and I can make my own decisions, I want to care for others and share my universe with them. Minecraft's multiplayer simply doesn't do this for me, since I don't know these people. Still, I play it from time to time. Kinda hard to not love something that guided you through the nonsense that is being an adolescent.
Sorry for dumping my life's story here, but I feel my answer would've been vague or meaningless without it.

Found this really misplaced Jungle Temple that is actually floating in a deep ocean biome. Temple is over 100 blocks from nearest land and is suspended in water about 30 blocks deep with no supporting material under it.

I'd go with Petra. She seems... rebellious, I guess. Rebellious, but not in a stupid way, and I respect the hell out of that.
Totally! Also, she is, like, the queen of sarcasm. If you look back to episode 1, you can find some pretty epic quotes pretty much every time she opens her mouth. Plus, we need to remember-she's DYING. She's withering away, and yet she keeps on going, not even telling anyone. Because she doesn't want everyone to panic. If I were her, I'd have told everyone by the time they'd been with me for 5 minutes.
As for my least fave, I'd have to go with Olivia. Her voice actress is crap, and everything she says is pessimistic beyind belief. Well, that's an exaggeration, but her little complaining session in Episode 4 makes me want to kill her.

Have you ever gone on your nomadic Minecraft life and think to yourself, “Gee, this makeshift bed/rest stop feels a bit…lacking.”
It serves the purpose, and takes less time to construct than your average dirt house. But it’s so….tacky. And if you want some semblance of realism, what kind of monster wouldn’t take the opportunity to attack you in the middle of the split second of night?
May I suggest adding in tents?
When being set down, it can take oh…say around 3-5 blocks in length, width, and height? It shouldn’t be too big. You’re not building a house, after all. Not much bigger than something in the picture below.
What does a tent do?
It removes the necessity of building a dirt dwelling as the sun sets. Or in my example, a tiny platform with a bed on top. It would take less time to pitch a tent than building a dirt hut. Plop, you’re done.
But the main thing-
So how’s this different from a bed?
Wait, I’m not done.
The main thing is that sleeping in a tent won’t reset your spawn.
I’m sure a few of us have been there. We want to go traveling, but we don’t want to lose our spawn. A tent will simply speed up the nighttime process, like a bed.
But unlike a bed, no spawn set.
But what if I want to set a spawn?
Then…use a bed.
Or better yet! Make it so we can put a bed /inside/ a tent and set the spawn!
Although that’s still the same as using a bed. But you now just have a ready-to-set-up convenient cover over your head.
What if I want to make a real camp?
This isn’t meant to be an instant campsite. Just a tent. If you want other commodities, then you’ll have to build them yourself. Fence off a small plot, prop a crafting table and furnace next to your tent, ta da. Camp site.
I simply want to avoid having a large, elaborate dwelling that can be assembled and disassembled in a matter of seconds. If one wants to make a camp, checkpoint, or temporary shelter, then it should be built with blocks. A tent should not replace those needs. The tent's primary purpose is to quickly provide an aesthetic temporary sanctuary, and speed through the night cycle.
The tent can become a part of the shelter, but not be the shelter.
How does a tent function ingame mechanic-wise?
It's one large 'block', much like how a bed takes up two blocks total, but acts as one item.
Originally, it was only meant to be small and basic in design. Any gaps in the tent would only be large enough to accommodate an optional bed, so you wouldn't be able to physically walk inside it. If there is no bed, you would sleep on the floor of the tent.
However, I suppose there's no reason why you could not make the model large enough to fit one person. If such is the case, you could also add in a tent flap, as a door.
What else can we do with a tent?
I’d like to suggest dyeing, and the ability to place torches on tents. Maybe.
If you want to get very elaborate, a tent can have partial transparency to light, so placing a torch inside a tent still casts some light outside.
These are simply extra ideas, a little flavor to add to the original intended design.
What else?
I had the random idea of a tent having an increased chance of being struck by lightning and being set on fire in hardcore mode. Just because.
…Actually, that idea’s probably stupid. But you can build up from that.
It's too cheaty. One should be required to reset the spawn if they want to speed up the night.
Some have argued that the 'no spawn reset' feature makes this too cheaty and OP. That one should balance the free night pass, by losing the original spawn.
I'd like to argue:
...it's a free night speed up without the price of losing your main spawn. But, the farther you travel, the more you risk losing what you gained in your travels, should you die. If you traveled hundreds of kilometers from your spawn, died, you'd have to travel hundreds of kilometers back to where you started. If you traveled by sleeping in a bed out in the overworld, and reset your spawn every time, you'll always be closer to your last spawn should you perish: no matter the incident. Arguably, a bed is safer in certain scenarios.
Strictly using a bed is optimal for a fully-nomadic gameplay. A tent is more catered to a settled gameplay. I'd argue it's not a 'get out of night' card. It's more of the added option to pick and choose which kind of play style you prefer.
A tent can allow the freedom of exploring the overworld with more ease. There are already semi-cheaty ways that assist traveling: ender chest and horses, for example. Those are true luxury items, and perhaps the best way to balance the tent, is to make it highly elusive.
The original design was to have an instant-dwelling. One that cannot be obtained within the first few nights, was strictly luxury, and was mainly purposed for long-distant travel. You did not need to scramble around and dig a hole/tall pillar to get through the night, and you could spend every last ray of sun out on foot.
That was the original design for the tent. To replace a makeshift hideout. The passing night idea came next.
Waiting around for night to pass is a pain. Having it speed through instantly was the alternative. If 'no reset' still does not satisfy people, a change could be to make the tent a mandatory addition with the bed, to allow the night to speed through. Otherwise, it remains strictly a dwelling. An aesthetically pleasing, quickly set up at any location, (not instantly placed, perhaps it takes some time) dwelling.
How is it obtained?
Their crafting recipe could require wool, string, wood, and iron. I tried to pick items that were relatively basic to get, but still not likely to amass on your first night. It takes more materials than a bed, and would be used for those that want to travel.
If this is too easy to obtain, a second alternative would be to make this strictly spawn in lootable chests of mineshafts/villages/dungeons.
Weren’t tents suggested before?
Well, yeeeeees…..this isn’t the first time. But those threads are older than a year.
And there's my idea for a tent. So I now throw this to the wolves of the critiques. Have at it.

Good find, MCGamer.
Truth be told, I'm kinda surprised they didn't try to do this earlier, considering a lot of Minecraft fans are also Nintendo fans.

If you really want bacon in Minecraft, all you need to do is make a resource pack that changes the cooked porkchop texture into a piece of bacon and changes the pork's name accordingly. I mean, you already have a perfectly good bacon texture, so you're already halfway done.
It won't have the speed thing, but that's honestly for the better.
