I would normally roast you, I would show you how top runners with or without calculators are better than all of this comment section combined. How combined play time of all top runners is probably longer than you live. How calculators are small part of the run and calling grinding 12 hours a day “calculating your way to wr” is so wrong and so ignorant. But I won’t, I really feel bad for you. I mean if you actually think that your comment is correct, illumina is the only world record contender that doesn’t use calculators and he is the only good runner, you are naive and let’s put it nicely… not intelligent. I do not even mean to offend you right now, just please, start thinking. I assume you either are A LOT younger than me and you will grow up or this is permanent. I wish that it’s the first scenario

I'd argue that a good rule would be banning settings changes during runs. This means that pearl hanging is disallowed since you change your render distance, but zero cycle is fine.

[@sdfhsdfhsdfhshfsdhfsd6992]

well what if i have a bad pc and cannot play on entity distance above 50 when im in the overworld, but in the end i have to turn it to atleast 100 to see the dragon??? Do i have to suffer from lag in the overworld? The better solution is to ban RENDER DISTANCE changes specifically. Although that will kill monuments, which are meta for this category (u only need a fort so that saves a lot of time).

[@ciarangale4738]

care to explain what zero cycles are and why they might not be allowed?

[@ezren_7140]

@Jaajgko it would only disallow setting changes during the game, so you could just change it before

[@chucklesdeclown8819]

@@ciarangale4738 zero cycle is doing a bed cycle before the dragon perches in the center of the end island, a one cycle is when you kill the dragon the first time the dragon perches in the center. zero cycling would be in theory faster but is harder to pull off, here's an awesome video of an awesome speedrunner that explains the zero cycle: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oISpe2udbNN4fsU

“How mojang intended it to be beat” with a ton of mental math to estimate y-level and quadrants. This is by far the hardest possible game mode

[@okgoodgame]

i wonder if a mod could remove some of these estimatable things.

[@ciarangale4738]

yep. a speedrun that takes skill to do well in. what a shocker. Thats not to say that rsg doesnt take skill, but a lot of the decision making and a decent number of skills are removed from the run due to the use of tools

[@ccee3860]

9:38 that one-bed was the sickest thing i’ve ever seen!

[@alextilson9741]

By mojang's definition, beds doing damage is in fact "intentional game design" why not just make the rules no changing settings mid run, instead of specifically banning pearl hanging? Sounds like a good principle in general.

[@energy9802]

When I play hypervanilla, I like adding some extra rules. I don't change my RD or FOV, and I time my runs using RTA only. Takes it a step further imo.

[@fanvie]

not hypervanilla runs look so cool with the all the advancements the community made in order to be faster but this feels so refreshing, seeing a runner actually play the game and not reset 800000000 seeds

[@FlashAm]

"gamma 1 that's the way mojang intended you to beat it" also mojang: default gamma is 3

[@Dragorach]

1 more rule could be no pausing, or worded differently, menus still count to in game time. There was some controversy around how pausing should be handled. I think it would also work well with the rest of the proposed ruleset.

[@castlebeki]

I don't think"no pausing" would be good, it means that if you have something irl urgent to do you lose your run, that's quite infuriating.

[@omnitroph1501]

@@castlebeki That's how it works in literally every speedrun category.

@@castlebeki That's quite literally how every other game is speedran lol. There are games that have a 2 hour long speedrun and pausing still counts towards time

[@castlebeki]

@@GoobyDev it counts but there is a difference between in-game and real time right ?

[@GoobyDev]

@@castlebeki not really, a lot of Minecraft speedrunning is making quick and calculated decisions. If you keep pausing to think then it gives you more of an advantage, unless it also counts towards your total time

Yesssssss, This is so much more better than current speedruns. I would also add you can calculate yourself if you want, just no background computer assisted calculation. And also, you have to generate seeds one at a time.

How are you going to calculate anything without f3 anyway? And generate seeds one at a time is litterly a rule he mentioned(no multiple instance or something like that) no?

But for real, this is what the main speedrunning category SHOULD be. NO PAUSING should also be added.

[@_mark_3814]

How about timing pauses and using RTA or RTA w/o loads as the timing method rather than banning pressing the esc key

[@_mark_3814]

I suggested that in discord and people were saying IGT is easier to time by and it close enough to RTA w/o loads if no one pause abuses and no one running this category will

[@PiercingSight]

@@_mark_3814 - The reason for no pausing is more than simply loading or pause abuse. It's also for setting change abuse, like reducing render distance to hang pearls.
