The SHOCKING New Minecraft World Record Destroyed a HUGE Barrier

The Minecraft 1.16 RSG world record has finally been beaten, with Zylenox getting the first sub-8 minute run in the game's history. In this video, we break down the strategies used in the run, and how this crazy achievement was finally pulled off. This is an historic accomplishment and one that we've been waiting for for a very long time, so a big congrats to him. You can check out his run here:
• Minecraft 1.16 Former ...
Important correction: At 12:08, I say that Zyelnox's end enter is 40 seconds faster than both the end enter in the former world record and the world record for the fastest end enter. While Zylenox's end enter is 40 seconds faster than Doog's end enter in his former world record, it's only 13 seconds faster than the former world record for entering the end, which was a 6:27 by Crookst.

[@lumin0sityruns]

I think a sub 7 is possible, if we get an instant dragon perch or like a diagonal perch or something, or if we get like a sub 6 end entry, although I can’t say for certainty that that will happen. I do believe it’s possible. Very hard, but possible! Congrats Zy!

[@andyshizells1152]

Yes the crookst choked low 7 choked run with better stringhold nav with wood type run would make sub 7 possible

[@clarkhersam9884]

Sub 7 is 100% possible, so is sub 6. Just look at FSG runs; they show what's possible with optimal rng. Sub 7 will definitely happen in the next year or 2.

[@cynamothcyclopsyt]

That next level end entry means that a sub 7 is totally possible

[@toblexson5020]

That is an insane run. As with all WR, it'll eventually be beaten, but I'd guess by only a few seconds, and I think this moves the 1.16 RSG to the back of the list of MC WRs that will be beaten next. It's just ridiculous levels of skill and luck now. I can't even see an update (like the 1.16 update itself) giving an advantage high enough to get sub 7 without an ultimate god run.

[@BlueCyann]

List of fastest end enters is now something like (I'll be off by a few seconds) Zylenox 6:15, Crookst 6:35 (not prepared for the one cycle), Feinberg 6:36 (dragon didn't perch for 4 or 5 minutes), Doogile 6:55 (former world record) and that's it. Four sub-7 end enters in the history of 1.16 RSG, all of them from the best of the best. Runs like that are so rare, and the run that beats this one will have to be rarer than all of them.

[@BlueCyann]

One comment: zero cycle is very luck dependent. The only thing that's not luck-based is the time it takes, which is always 55 seconds give or take, compared to a less than 50 second instaperch or a low roll that could be 5 minutes or more. (I think the average is around about 1:45?) The main luck part of it is whether or not the node the dragon is aiming for is low enough that you can hit it with the explosion damage and knock it back before it reaches it. That's what keeps it returning. If it's able to reach the node before it reaches you, it's gone and there's nothing you can do about it.

[@BartasRapowanie]

And the best part is that this is as legit as it gets. No video, No bullshit, actually a consistent streamer hitting it live. Right now, with all the fake speedrunning coming to light this is very important imo that this will stand as a legit insane record

[@3ngag3]

There's something I'm curious about with these Minecraft speedruns. What does the community do with the seeds that result in WR runs? Do they get logged in some way or made available to the public? Also, and I know this would probably be impossible with the near infinite number of possible seeds, but what if a speedrunner happens to generate a seed that was used in a previous WR and they manage to get a verified time? Would it count for RSG or would it be classified as a set seed run?

[@BlueCyann]

The seed is part of the submission for every RSG run, so they're known. You could go to Zylenox's YT channel and grab the seed and play on the world if you wanted to. Repeat seeds in 1.16 is simply never going to happen.

[@vanilluhs]

repeat seeds in FSG has happened before but there is no way that a repeat seed is gonna be rolled in RSG and widely recognized, bc what if one was rolled by some random nobody who doesn’t stream or post vids?

[@BlueCyann]

@@vanilluhs True. I think it's been said the current "meta" FSG filter only has about 200K seeds, so occasionally a player does see a repeat. I should have specified RSG. One interesting thing is that there are a lot more (and I mean a lot lot more) total seeds in 1.16 than there are total nethers. I'm not sure if even a repeat nether is a possibility within the expected lifetime of the universe, but it'd be a lot more more likely than a repeat seed.

[@YounesLayachi]

it's amazing that you can spell out "set seed run" yet ask if a run that did not set the seed is a set seed run. seed no set == not a set seed run, it's pretty simple.

[@LLikzy]

Nowhere near the human limit. Literally speaking, the human limit is 1 minute and 47 seconds right now, which is the fastest time a human can beat minecraft with no glitches. With optimal rng, like FSG, people have already gotten sub sixes. Yes, it will be hard, and probably a few years before someone gets a sub 7 or even sub 6 eventually, it's entirely possible. There could even be more new strategies developed that save even more time.
