This video is not a faked Minecraft speedrun, nor is it a Dream speedrun, nor is it even a Java Edition world record speedrun for the new Minecraft update. There was no cheater caught or exposed in this run, I'm happy to say. If this were about a faked Minecraft world record speedrun, it'd be our third faked cheated Minecraft world record speedrun video in the past month. This The Weekly Thing Minecraft speedrun video is about a pre-1.9 Minecraft speedrun from 2018, the first sub-20 in Minecraft history.

It's unfortunate that this run isn't remembered more. The level of cooperation is something that you just don't see in today's runs. Great video.

[@shambhav9534]

The cooperation was actually poor imo. It was too leader based. It's a well known thing, even in real life that you need to divide a large group into smaller groups. So, something like a group 3 groups of 4 or something like that. Non vocal communication slows the process down as well. There should be code names for fast communication. The communication must look something like "[mc username] [codename] at [direction]" or stuff like that. The choice of the leader should be dynamic. For eg. the person with the most Ender pearls should automatically start devising a plan for fetching the blaze rods as fast as possible from the nether hunting group and so on. There's many many more things than this.

[@atomiccritter6492]

coop runs are usually good fun to watch and do!

[@Anthony89810]

Yay, it's finally out! Always love it when our old runners get the attention they deserve. Also one fun fact about the mob cap in Minecraft (pre 1.9 at least), it's higher depending on the number of chunks loaded, so that's why hunting hardcore strats can be so good in it: with multiple players loading chunks, it makes the mob cap high so consequently, more endermen, so tower is probably not even faster in higher player co-ops :^)

[@leadharsh0616]

I think they bring this back in 1.18 experimental snapshot that each player now has its own mob cap.

[@Chaos-kz6om]

Thats crazy

[@atomiccritter6492]

tower strats in *hardcore* in 1.7 are not really a thing though, one runner I forget their name was trying to develop a quickly built tower you could use without the die respawn stuff...but intersting about the mob cap

[@effortlessone846]

This run was super interesting. I love it when co-op runs allow the ability to perform strategies that usually aren't possible singleplayer. I only knew co-op runs from 1.9-1.15 that had unique strats so its a good thing this video exists to inform me of this run's existence Okayge

[@jinstronda2571]

[@sharpieman2035]

Great video on an awesome run. One small correction: at 15:55 you say less players makes the dragon charge faster. Personally, I haven't seen any evidence of this in the code, however from experience in co-ops I can tell you that it does help having less players because you can spread out your beds better and it's easier to tell if the dragon is charging you or someone else. Also kamikaze bed makes it easier to deal more damage since you don't need to worry about protecting yourself, especially with co-op lag.

@@Parkourist Kamikaze is attributed in English speaking nations as another word for sacrificial suicide, usually to further the suicide's cause. That's not what it initially meant. Much like the term jihad, which has an near identical problem, it is a perversion of the language by foreigners.

4:12 Tower is possible in multiplayer, you just need to have all players 128 blocks above the surface and one player goes down the mob cap is multiplied by the number of player so there are crazy amouts of mobs. This gets complicated in the new snapshots but should still be possible even there.
