This is not the story of a Minecraft player who possibly cheated to get a faked Minecraft speedrun world record, and not the story of their friend who also did not cheat to get a faked Minecraft speedrun world record. Fake Minecraft speedruns are insane, almost as insane as this description! If you want to see a fake cheated Minecraft 1.16 world record speedrun, this is not the video for you!

[@julym.2564]

@@jackm3672 that's because he's crookst. Crookst is just chill af on stream and just like eating sub 10's sub 11 for breakfast and he srill isn't satisfied but also not being annoyed when there are times when he can't fill up end portal because of 0 eyes. He just fking resets no matter what

[@lukaslambs5780]

His reaction is exactly why he’s so good. He isn’t satisfied with anything less than the absolute best.

[@TheSpeep]

Tbh, his lack of reaction is probably part of why hes able to remain so consistent. The fact hes able to remain calm like that and not let the adrenaline get to him probably lets him avoid making a ton of mistakes. I know I've had times where a game got tense to the point I'd be shaking so violently I'm barely able to even stay in control of which keys I press.

essentially mapless works by navigating to the gamerenderer in the pie chart we can use this slice of the pie chart to identify which subchunks have blockentities in them, if we are smart we can scan around the area and eventually triangulate the location of a buried treasure and dig on the x and z coordinates of 9 9 in that chunk to find the buried treasure, of course this is all just guessing, but I think it would be really hard to do and nobody would ever do it in a top run
