I was so sure that this was going to be a joke category for the infinity snapshot. But as the video progressed I realized it couldn't be the case. This is really impressive and genuinely a major change in strategy.

[@hisuianzoroark5726]

I won the Wii U tutorial world in MC by trading for Eyes of Ender, so villager trading isn't new to me, and nor is its importance.

[@Eliotex]

Thank you so much for all the effort that went into this awesome video! Making a video about such an unknown strategy is not an easy task at all. Many years of history so well summarized in a single video.... Amazing.

[@colin3504]

I remember when I used to understand everything that happened in a mc Speedrun. Now I don't

[@collinnester6419]

I too have two l’s

[@justanothergamingyoutuber8179]

Lol

[@Bobjohn124]

I was lost at enderman towers guess I’m too not caught up on strats

[@mlion8418]

Minecraft speedrun logic : A new world record was broken also not even two minutes later a new world record by the same person was beaten with over 1 Minute less than his last speedrun.

[@mortismain6719]

what

[@LIKE_IDK]

2 letters name be like:

[@SlightSmile]

not with pre-1.9

[@where_is_sauce]

Also minecraft logic: speedrunner gets a world record where he cuts 5 minutes of the run by getting a high score in tetris and 7 seconds after he posts the run there are 5 minecraft documentaries about the run, another 4 videos about how it broke 2b2t, 3 grooming alegations and a invite to dream smp

[@bakublader1999]

It's almost like they figured how the strat worked and then optimized it.

[@Total1]

Nieuh also just got another 19:41 and a 15:37 end enter a few days back (with 2+ mins for stronghold nav!) So this really shows the possible potential with trading strats. Before with enderman towers, people were pace locked so rather than it being how well the whole run is, its just how well and lucky it is after 10ish mins

[@danteshydratshirt2360]

with a portal with say 3 or 4 eyes maybe time taken getting books would be skimmed

[@fieryr]

Fun fact: this video lasts exactly like the Real Time of the speedrun

[@gunarsmiezis9321]

Nice.

[@JustACuteDoggo]

i remember hearing about double instant travel (portal travel)when eliotex first made a vid on it. i thought it would instantly become meta and would completely revolutionise the category...it took a while...but im glad it finally happened :D

[@theobrigham]

Its amazing how much room there is for improvement e.g. getting the beds, gold tool for bookcases and nieuh had 2 extra stacks of spare books at the end of the trading

[@Xavier-kg7bt]

The way you started the video up till the first minute was awesome! Wow, really made me interested in whats to come, Good job!

[@siiyuu]

this is the closest we will get to getting TWT to say nya

[@jonathinater4043]

16:25 “all of the biggest luck factors have gone right and he can be sure at this point that he’ll be able to enter the end on fantastic pace” I mean, just no? A major reset factor in 1.8 trading is if the librarian restocks enough times to trade all the book for enough emeralds if he villager refuses to restock you must trade with him on a trade that hasn’t been used yet, such as bookshelf, glass etc and each first use of a trade guarantees a restock. Given how many trades are needed it is quite likely that you will need to spend some emerald to get the villager to restock at least once and if you get unlucky enough and run out of new trades or have to use enough emeralds to the point you can’t afford enough eyes anymore, it’s a reset. (This can also happen with eyes on the cleric but since it’s only maybe 2-3 trade cycles on him it’s much less likely) Fairly likely he can enter on good pace? Yes. But no where close to a guarantee.

[@Me-da-Ghost]

He covered this on his last video on trading strats. idk why he forgot to this time

[@skygazer6082]

When he said biggest luck factors, I was like… did you forget how odd villagers are this version?

[@Criticalmcsr]

Isn’t that why he mined whole library for extra restocks

15:07 Shouldn't the number be 73? I'm pretty sure it's 7 (emeralds) * 11 (eyes) - 4 (emeralds he already had) = 73.

[@williambgaming]

Maybe it was for the 666 thing, 73 is practically the same as 74.

[@zhz0704]

@@williambgaming Actually, using a wrong number to make that 666 joke made it more hilarious, I'm not even sure if it's a mistake or it's intended.

[@hoyfour8039]

doesnt the entity punch mean it cant be a glitchless run, which then means it doesnt beat any world records

[@justguni7324]

i think its technically not a glitch because the devs just forgot to change the code when sprinting was added so it is basically a game mechanic

[@RekaCath]

Honestly, I was thinking the same thing about the portal mechanics used

[@electrikal_shok588]

I just realised that Nieuh's speedrun was played on my birthday

[@jort93z]

I've never seen a speedrun with an enderman tower, back when i was watching speedruns people just ran around looking for endermen, I feel really old lmao.

[@danteshydratshirt2360]

ah the days of 1.7 hardcore with Tarokitchen. I wonder if hes still doing runs on Twitch. I recall watching him do 3 runs back to back all under 45 minutes

the intro got me bruh

same lol even though have ran for like 3 years with the proper stuff but haven't beat the dragon gotten close multiple times though

1:01 "you're in the same boat"

[@zosiaz98]

how is the entitiy punch and the portal travel still considered glitchless?? gread video as always

[@showerypluto8239]

cause they are not major glitches and if u see a run where glitches are allowed u would see that entity punching and portal traver are not anything close to what count as major glitches in glitched runs

[@trashboxbobylev9900]

major glitches in minecraft's speedrunning are mostly dupes

[@nekimi__]

damn that is insane

[@ethantasti2521]

The fact spinnaker beat this time without using the strat

[@chickenleg5359]

ive never heard of the enderman tower in my life

[@turbinchen17]

Why is a glitch (hunger) allowed in RSG (Random Seed GLITCHLESS)?

[@somekinnn]

1. it's very easy to have happen by accident, making moderating it and avoiding doing it really hard. 2. it doesn't really change how the run is played at all, it just makes it more consistent which i think everyone would view as a good thing.

[@-kaori]

wasnt normal rsg world record under ten minutes for a long time now? you mentioned a much higher number in the video

[@jhc2457]

Isn’t the entity punch hunger glitch a glitch, meaning it can’t be used in Random seed glitchless?

[@justsk8n659]

the issue is that it's so universal that you can't ban it. it's a glitch that happens in any version, when you hit *any* entity while sprinting. You can't ban it because it plays a part in basically any speedrun. A runner punching a piglin out of the way while running through the nether would cause this glitch, would that run now be disqualified? obviously not, but because it activated whether the runner intended to use the glitch on purpose or not, it's allowed because it's literally an unavoidable glitch.

[@SmileyMPV]

The nether portal travel thing also looks like a glitch to me

[@Contrastings]

@@SmileyMPV thats Definitely not but I think calculators should be banned

[@AlessioSangalli]

@@Contrastings IF it is allowed to open FOR and read the coordinates, then calculators should be allowed, as in principle one could do the math in his head anyway. I believe F3 should be banned along with calculators, OR both be allowed

[@mika_mdf]

@@Maximus-rm7jn but he cleared the whole library and then went into the room

[@Maximus-rm7jn]

@@mika_mdf this run was an exception because nieuh happened to dig into the library before routing the stronghold to find the portal room. this doesn't usually happen; runners will find the portal room, assess the number of eyes, then make their decision. in this run it would've been a time loss to route the stronghold solely to try to save the effort of mining a few more bookshelves.

[@mika_mdf]

@@Maximus-rm7jn yea I know, but he didn't route it, he just dug down deeper straight into it, how'd he know the room was there?

[@justsk8n659]

@@mika_mdf eyes of ender in 1.8 and previous route directly to the portal room, not the entrance like in later versions. there's not much routing involved, just a straight dig into the portal room, and *then* they would route to find a library. this run is an exception because he dug right into a library straight away, meaning he knew where the portal room was (lower in the same chunk) and a library, so it was a timesave to just do all the books first rather than go down and back up, and saved the time other runs would have to spend trying to find a library

Does the entity punch glitch not disqualify the run from RSG? Confused.

[@Burbie]

No it doesn't

[@bruhmoment2262]

no because then that would also disqualify literally every other run ever ran since every run involves hitting an entity at least once

[@dahahaka]

This was a great Karl jobst video :D

[@JeanGabrielRoy92]

Isn’t the category sub 1.9 rsG ? Or are the new strats not considered as glitches (asking the question since you used the word glitch in your video)

[@MehrGills]

The specific hunger strat I know is not easily able to be moderated (how many times have you punched an entity then started sprinting in mc? I'm sure it happens a lot, and it would unnecessarily invalidate many runs). The portal travel I am not sure on whether it is truly a glitch or an exploit (the difference of which is sometimes hard to define) it could just be intended behavior being used in a weird way (which falls into the category of exploit, not glitch)

[@justsk8n659]

yeah the entity punching strat is probably a glitch, but because it happens whenever you hit an entity and you have no control over it happening (you can't exactly just avoid hitting all entities) it's unenforceable and therefore allowed. The portal's are an exploit, not a glitch, in the fact that they are working fully as intended. I don't quite have enough of a way with words to be able to explain the whole process of the portal's, but just think of it as a more complicated pearl hang, using portal connection stuff and unloading/reloading the portals

[@MehrGills]

@@justsk8n659 you said it so much better than I did lol

[@Splax77]

The definition of "glitch" is arbitrary, and ultimately up to the community. In this case the community has decided that entity punching is allowed because it's impossible to moderate and would be really stupid to ban. The portal removal trick is arguably a glitch, but it's tick perfect and really difficult to time properly. When you kill a portal with TNT on the same tick that you go through the portal, going through the portal is prioritized over the portal being killed. Portal travel uses intended mechanics in an unintended way, whether that counts as an exploit or a glitch is up to you.

[@JeanGabrielRoy92]

@@Splax77 thanks for the explanation !

[@moheerabakshi6623]

It happened right on my birthday lol

[@Quiczor]

Didn't you say this category was glitchless. That portal Travel is guaranteed a glitch though?

[@maculagravy]

It probably works through destroying portals with tnt and the portal mechanics of pre 1.9, no glitches there just weird mechanics
