[@harryf9885]

@@E12345E Yes and he spends 2 seconds in each of the first two nether portals he makes, teleporting between them so he can get the wool and the glass block while waiting to get into the nether. Taking advantage of the fact that a nether portal only checks that you have been in A nether portal for the last 4 seconds, not whether you have been in THAT nether portal for the last 4 seconds. So the first nether portal he makes is only used to start that timer, he doesn’t even go through it lol.

13:06 note 7.5? normally, you can't open your inventory or use a crafting table or other object with a HUD while in the nether portal, but for some reason, the HUD from an object (not the inventory key) will show up for exactly 1 tick. luckily, inventories are no longer tied to the tickrate (since 1.14), so dylan can do all of this in that one tick. note 7.5.5(?): because the 4 second portal entering animation resets when reloading a world, duping in a nether portal doesn't save any time.

I find funny that the end portal is a 0 eye, it's only like a 30% chance that the end portal is a 0 eye. The most common ones are a 1 eye portals (each end frame has a 1/10 chance of spawn with an eye on it)

[@Sceptonic]

Maybe some day we'll find a seed like this but with multiple ender eyes in the end portal

[@ikercalderon163]

@@Sceptonic if we try we'll probably find it, but a 12 eye portal seems unreasonable (and it shockes me that a 12 eye portal and ignoring neather fortress isn't faster). But the time saved per eye is 1/20th of a second, unless they find a 4 or more eye portal, that would mean 1 less duplication (I think, maybe they need to multiply another thing) EDIT: killing blazes is needed because of the end crystal craft, so you can't skip killing blazes

[@Bismuth9]

@@ikercalderon163 You need an Eye of Ender for the End Crystal and skipping the dragon is much more crucial to this run. A filled portal would probably save less than a second.

[@ikercalderon163]

@@Bismuth9 I forgot that eye of ender! A 5 eye portal might save like half a second at best? 1 less blaze duplication and 0.25 seconds less to fill the portal. But probably there aren't seeds as good as this one with a 5 eye portal and structure differences would lose more time for sure

[@buttecake]

@@ikercalderon163 does the duplication take time though? They all happen when pearls are in flight so he would just sit there twiddling his thumbs if he wasn't duping. So he would probably only be saving 12/20 of a second assuming Dylan was placing the eyes every available tick

When he showed the run the second time, there's just something about the ending and the music that makes me feel sort of a bittersweet ending feeling. It's weird and hard to explain. It's almost as if this was the run to end them all. The completely perfect and unbeatable record. I can just picture people spending countless hours trying to get this perfect run, and now someone finally does. But the final ender pearl throw almost signifies the end of an era which is minecraft speedrunning which gives me this bittersweet feeling. It's done. the ultimate run, achieved. I know this definitely isn't happening anytime soon, maybe not even at all, but I just get this weird feeling that I just thought I'd share. The music definitely adds to that feeling as well.

Yes but the tool also allowed him to savestate, essentially by creating backup saves that he could come back to, so he didn't do it in a single segment. But yes, he did have to "play" at really low tick rates, as opposed to using frame advance.

The fact that 2 Quintilian is only 10% of all possible seeds shows just how infinite Minecraft is.

[@batrongordeg]

Here are the notes, you are welcome. Note 1 (5:30 to 6:50): a. The odds listed throughout this section are mostly ballpark estimates and shouldn't be taken as absolutely exact numbers. The ruined portal chest can also contain a fire charge instead of a flint and steel since it can serve the same purpose. The odds for the chest loot are on the order of 1 in 100 because of the Silk touch enchantment, which has odds of roughly 1 in 7 of appearing. b. About Blaze spawns: a blaze can spawn randomly anywhere in a Nether fortress, but it cannot spawn within 20 blocks of the player, so a spawner even closer than that is optimal. Although the spawner is 7 tiles away horizontally, it's about 10 tiles below as well, but it's still faster than a random spawn 20 tiles off. c. (also referenced at 17:50) About The End: the conditions in were actually sub-optimal. There's a wall in the way, so it takes a bit of additional maneuvering to reach the final portal to beat the game. While there will always be at least one pillar in the direct path towards the portal, it's not impossible that there could be an even more optimal seed with had a more direct path to the end that wouldn't require multiple enter pearl throws. Note 2 (6:50): Due to the way world generation is done, the script could look at supergroups of 65,536 seeds called structure seeds. This reduced the total amount of possibilities from 2^64, or 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 down to 2^48, or 281,474,976,710,656. The only variable factors between different seeds within one structure seed is the biome distribution and the spawn location. Once the script found a good structure seed, it was only a matter of finding the right biome distribution and spawn location within that group. Note 3 (9:35): At least, it's no longer that dumb. For many years, the duplication glitch worked with Alt+F4. Note 4 (10:05): While he started with two pearls, he only duped them 4 times - the final dupe was only for obsidian and wood. Also, he throws a pearl when he has 16 (8 in inventory, 8 in chest), so he ends up with 30. Note 5 (12:09): In earlier versions, villages had windows made of glass blocks, and in later versions, glass was added deep underground. Note 6 (13:00): The direction blocks are sent in in the explosion is random, so despite having a tool to mitigate this randomness, Dylan had to spend many rerecords on this section until the wool behaved exactly the way he wanted. Note 7 (13:12): He actually only needs one more crafting table, not two. Making a second one didn't cost any extra time because he needs to wait in the portal for 4 seconds anyway Note 8 (13:49): Technically, the game sets your spawn point on the bed, and when respawning you, it will place you next to the bed if it's unobstructed. Note 9 (15:49): In the context of the TAS, the section with the Blaze took multiple tries to get right, and the Ghast was forced to spawn. RNG manipulation doesn't work in Minecraft the way it works in a typical console TAS, so Minecraft TASers sometimes resort to other means to force perfect luck.

that was a beautiful video. I've seen TAS runs, i've speedran minecraft a lot, but this was relaxing and really interesting in every way, thank you!

[@Ravenesque]

Did you have to use Runescape music within the first minute? The nostalgia lol Those are the tracks Harmony, Autumn Voyage and Flute Salad and you beautifully played them on the piano

[@Shmookcakes]

I was playing Runescape while watching this, got super confused for a second

[@Spyroflexx]

does someone know where those specific piano arrangements are from?

[@Ravenesque]

@@Spyroflexx bismuth can play the piano and probably played them. On previous video he's said he's done all the background music himself

[@Aladite]

It's always an amazing day when Bismuth uploads :0 tas explanations always calm me down, it's just so interesting

[@Max-mi1tz]

Very impressive video! Incredible editing. Brilliant!

[@mylittleparody2277]

Damn. This video does a very good job at explaining this awesome TAS. Thank you very much!

[@Pomodorosan]

7:05 wow the script looked at over 10% of the possible seeds, which means such a seed could have well been completely impossible to attain

[@levicary3923]

Even more mind-blowing, there is a very good chance that it looked over the seed to your own world and made the decision of how good the seed was.

[@3_pancakes767]

Either way, he would have found at least an incredibly good seed for the run.

[@Trickey2413]

​@@levicary3923 if 2 000 000 000 000 000 000 seeds is 10% then its very unlikely he looked through any of our seeds

[@Horizon206]

Really good video! Glad to see that you covered the minecraft TASes, as I've always been really interested in those.

[@mistvillage171]

A tas is essentially saying this is what you could possibly do with frame perfect everything

[@samihamchev9528]

This video just kept getting recommended to me on multiple occasions for the past year so I finally decided watch it. Banger

[@elemasterplayz5512]

I'm still mining my 4th piece of wood in 20 seconds..

[@SuffragesMC]

6:28 love how he just made this number completely up

[@Ccrey_]

It’s probably more than that considering dreams luck

[@blajjko]

yeah lmao "he needs to spawn near a nether fortress-" **ONE IN 300,000,000,000,000**

[@nuzzlevee]

​@@blajjkothat isn't how it is, its the chance to spawn near a woodland mansion with the specific rooms needed with a nether fortress with a blaze spawner within active distance of the portal. (Then obviously with the added end fortress position and end spawn too) The number is based on the amount of seeds the script had to generate this specific scenario on average, not the chance for a single of these things to happen. He never said that *one* of these things are that rare, its the fact that you're getting many rare things to happen in a singular world, which narrows down the chances a lot. So no, its not that a near spawn nether fortress is that rare, its that a fortress near spawn in a world where you spawn at a woodland mansion with the right rooms immediately accessible and ruined portal. Since the odds are all linked, the chances drop drastically per stipulation you add :) hope you have a nice day and that this cleared it up a bit for you!

[@blajjko]

​@@nuzzlevee yeah i knew that but from what the probability is before and after he revealed the nether fortress spawn, we can see its 100 (too lazy to check but i think its 100) so basocally its a 1 in 100 chance to enter an unused nether portal and spawn near a fortress, which i dont really bevieve is true. edit: completely ignore everything i said its a 1 in 15 youre correct lmao

[@mariorockysonicmegasochjag]

​@@blajjkothis is with all the other stuff.

"by the end of this video you will understand everything thats going on" and sure as hell i now do, amazing work

[@xumx]

20% is waiting for TNT to explode 20% is waiting for portal to nether 20% is waiting for pearls to fly 20% is waiting for portal to over world 20% falling into the void, contemplating existence

[@lexoll.]

18:49 so why does he not keep resetting until he gets the perfect pearl laumch that teleports him directly into the portal? He now has to spend nearly half a second throwing a second pearl and teleporting which is quite significant in a run like this.

[@whohan779]

Maybe the portal doesn't spawn at the same coordinates, making it two variables of RNG that are a hassle to tune, or; more likely: to get the pearl flung further it would also need to go higher, potentially costing more time than it saves (just think about [US] football: two throws in rapid succession are quicker than a singular throw twice the length takes which can be explained by math since two half-height+length parabolas make a shorter line than a singular parabola twice as big). Hope that helps

[@advance64bro]

Are you just gonna ignore the explanation

[@lexoll.]

@advance64bro I never got a notification that someone had replied to my comment. By that time, I had already decided to just look up the answer instead of waiting for a reply. Shoutout to you for replying to a year old comment and reminding me! And shoutout to the guy that explained it.
