Minecraft's NEW World Record: Analysis/Breakdown

[@Couriway]

UPDATE: Yes I am aware that this run probably isnt going to be verified due to using a mod not currently allowed to help with minecraft's crashing. However literally every top speedrunner will consider this the world record so I dont plan on retitling or deleting the video or anything like that. To be honest I personally believe it should be verified anyway and it's unfortunate for everyone involved and the minecraft community as a whole. Still show love to drip as this is a very deserved run

[@Potasz7sr]

So unfortunate. At least this is one of the best run ever.

[@CrunkNuts]

What mod?

[@skyward14]

@@CrunkNuts it was a mod that stops worldpreview from crashing, and it was not verified for mcsr leaderboards, fulham has a video on it

[@jimybobjim]

@@skyward14is it likely/possible that the mod could get verified after the run, letting the speed run get verified? Or is it like what happened with dream where the mod gives u an unfair advantage?

[@mystifoxtech]

​@@jimybobjimit's not something that will give you an advantage. It only stops a crash with a few lines of code

[@JarmezGD]

when i was watching this i was mentally going "if he didnt do that it wouldve been sub 7" constantly, like i would be able to do better

[@roadflames]

hopefully when it gets retimed its sub 7

[@fionalombard5664]

Ikr when he missed the block clutch on the fortresss I said oh no could’ve been sub 7 but 7:01 is still crazy

[@Mathematica_EtHistoria]

Yup, same

[@FadedPhoenix_]

Same, but I always think immediately after, that it only means that there is room for improvement

[@JaySk8n]

this was my thought too, but then, I thought as they were one-cycling, I had the thought of "oh if they 3+1 instead of 4bed, it might’ve been it", but then they actually did do 3+1, and it occured to me, for every little mistake that cost a second, there's so many other things they're doing that save that second back. This is just a guess, but I've seen a lot of speedruns, and while this persons mechanics looks amazing, they aren't perfect like nofear or doogile, and honestly, I think this was probably on average a better example of a time they could've got, and on average they prob stood to lose time rather than gain it

That's insane. I saw one of your shorts and got back in touch with the speedrun community after years, HOURS after a new WR??? This was super cool! I'd hate if I'd missed out on that

[@namanbawa6717]

Ppl didnt really talk about it, but at 3:30 when he goes to the other side of the bridge, there's a split second where (I think) the piglin is very close to coming in the way of his block placement (it jumps but couldnt step on the block). Like if he hadnt placed those blocks as quickly as he did he would've at least taken some damage and could'even fallen down into the lava. Just a small detail of how many small things can really mess up a run.

[@BeyondMediocreMandarin]

This is some excellent commentary. I saw the original video and had no idea what was going on.

I was looking fo a commentary to understand this world record better, but I'm getting more confused than watching the original clip 😂

[@TheStarGazer6]

Couriway, not sure if this was already suggested, but I got a speedrun challenge for you. Minecraft but you’re a Bodyguard, meaning you’ll have to bring a friend to speedrun with. Challenge rules would be you are not allowed to do anything besides fight off mobs, your friend can only punch away mobs and is not allowed to slay the mobs, except for The Ender Dragon. It will be on Hardcore to make it challenging so if either of you dies, you lose (and/or will have to retry). Generate a random seed, you must complete said seed even if it’s bad. The only time you can reroll for a new seed is when/if one of you dies (you can’t die on purpose to reroll). Anyways when/if you read this, firstly hello, and secondly hope you have a good rest of your day.
