Minecraft's Most Exciting Speedrunning Category...

Ontricus and Connoire recently pulled off two top runs in Minecraft's most exciting speedrun category, including a new world record. In this video I break down how they were pulled off, and why 1.15 is Minecraft's most exciting speedrun category right now.
Huge shoutout to Ontricus and Connoire, check them out here:

This is not the story of a Minecraft player who possibly cheated to get a faked Minecraft speedrun world record, and not the story of their friend who also did not cheat to get a faked Minecraft speedrun world record. Fake Minecraft speedruns are insane, almost as insane as this description! If you want to see a fake cheated Minecraft 1.16 world record speedrun, this is not the video for you!

Who is Ontricus? For the blind, He is the vision. For the hungry, He is the chef. For the thirsty, He is the water. If Ontricus thinks, I agree. If Ontricus speaks, I’m listening. If Ontricus has one fan, it is me. If Ontricus has no fans, I don’t exist.

[@siriusnotserious]

Most sane ontrigus fan 💯🥶

[@catwizard6482]

For the hopeless he is hope, for the exhausted he is rest, for the cold he is warmth, for the sick he is a cure. Ontricus is love, Ontricus is life.

[@chelz25]

Amen

I love you connoire

[@hitstun101]

Shiiii Ontricus the Goat but Connoire the phantom Goat fr

[@anonymousaxolotl]

Personally I think Connor’s run is super impressive. Didn’t have a great computer, didn’t use a calculator, was on world record pace, skillfully played through an unfamiliar seed. So close!

[@loganherrera7106]

If Connor’s run was an instant nav with the same instant perch, suddenly sub 13 doesn’t seem that impossible (still definitely not reasonable bc Connor had godly rng throughout and simply didn’t have the hardware to preemptive)

[@SuperLlama88888]

"So far, no one has figured out how to beat the game with glass bottles"

[@Arnav_was_taken]

I think this is a situation where we can say "He just has a good gaming computer" , literally

[@tivuk]

Fuck, I didn't think i would wanna cry on Minecraft speedrun😭😭😭 Huge respect to Connoire playing on slow pc and almost setting wr❤

[@Elektronyx97]

'he only has 3 instances of Minecraft going in comparison to Ontircus' 8. That's class disparity for your right there'' me who can only load 1 at a time: i should be homeless Edit: I got a ram upgrade bois I can run 4 now Edit: nvm only 2

[@Zebra_Paw]

I have 12 take the L

[@zhafranchuy6553]

​@@Zebra_Pawwow you're really cool

[@Zebra_Paw]

@@zhafranchuy6553 just kidding lol also Ontricus is kinda dumb to buy a Core i9, at the time you could have comparably priced CPUs that allow for many more instances

[@maximus3294]

[@Conner.Suzuki]

As a Braves fan, I was not expecting to hear Dansby talked about in a minecraft speed running video.

[@Bostonsportsfan30]

Fr 😂

[@frubge]

That Dansby Swanson Reference did not go unnoticed. Go Cubs

[@samschellhase8831]

would love an exploration into Icarus runs. Any interesting strategies, blindingly fast runs (even for having an elytra with you from the start), impressive close calls, things like that

[@KneYka]

Connoire was like an extremely good soldier gifted with terrain advantage on a battlefield... but his weapon failed him(to some extent), still undeniably he's extremely good, but also it's such a shame

[@Bostonsportsfan30]

Bro really snuck in Dansby Swanson😂😂😂

[@zelda1420]

Yoo, respect to Connoire! I was vibing at the end, dancing happily to the music. Yah!

[@sophie427]

the way my heart broke… still so impressive !!!! i hope he’s proud !!!

[@bigiron4018]

My favorite vid of yours yet, the format for the two run analysis just worked really well

[@ganondork7561]

Godlike thumbnail lmao

[@naviator3890]

Bruh just one advice, on the thumbnail some of the text is covered by the lenght of the video numbers, so for me it said speedruan 4nal, just in case u dont have any trouble with youtube xD

[@CentralGaming131]

Interesting thumbnail.. the video length blocks the "ysis" in Analysis.. so the thumbnail says...

[@wizdoodle]

Muhammad Ali, Michale Jordan, and... Dansby Swanson? Should've thrown out the Shohei Ohtani namedrop there haha, that really made me double check if I heard it right

[@ionface]

Connoire's End Portal room was disgusting. What a great end to that run though.

[@Tropical_Tutorials]

1.15 most exciting category = BASED

[@Kaika433]

Finally a video about the GOAT Ontricus

[@herobrine8763og]

the yze in the thumbnail was blocked by the video length 😳

[@ninjaspeedyb4972]

dansby Swanson the goat

[@TheGarretThief]

Well, this is so painfully that some strategies depends on computer setup... Connoire not ony capable of reload much lesser amount of seeds per iteration, but also just cannot use pie navigation only because of bad PC setup... True segregation...

[@Zebra_Paw]

he could run a 4th easily with the CPU he has idk why he doesn't. And preemptive could absolutely work on his computer, I'd honestly consider reinstalling Windows and everything then try it again. But yes a laptop is generally bad for speedrunning and even desktop users aren't all equal.

[@AlessioSangalli]

A better PC is an obvious step for a top Speedrunner. Minecraft does not need a fancy GPU, and recently some awesome CPUs have become extremely cheap.

[@TheGarretThief]

@@AlessioSangalli but still it's a segregation. Folks who born in really poor country, who born in really poor family and honestly, there's thousands of other circumstances when you just cannot afford better PC for MC speedrunning but still doing runs. As you can see, Connoire is not a top runner, and he is not streamer or smth. He just got insane luck and lost that opportunity because of bad PC.

[@AlessioSangalli]

@@TheGarretThief ok so what about people that have a mother that does not allowed them to play Minecraft. We have to draw a line at some point.

[@Zebra_Paw]

@@AlessioSangalli absolutely true. But Connoire is using a laptop meaning an upgrade there is out of the question.

[@gamingbros2286]

Bro tried to sneak in Dansby Swanson 💀

[@mikeharry1799]

love the synthwave soundtrack

[@mika_mdf]

Never thought I'd see Muhammad Ali and Micheal Jordan in one of ur videos

[@tariffictypist7372]

As a cubs fan, I enjoyed the Dansby Swanson bit.

[@hannahtgp9421]

Flashbacks the double day contaria

[@zakcancio3897]

Dansby Swanson didn’t make his second all-star game today just to be compared to Michael Jordan :/

[@drkspace]

As a Braves fan, dansby shouldn't be in the same sentence as Ali and Jordan. But if we're talking about looks....

[@RockiesSweden]

DANSBY SWANSON LOL WHAT I'm dead 💀💀💀

[@CuBoyd]

awesome vid!

[@alexties6933]

if speedrunners can use a tool to assist them finding the stronghold, why not a additional tool to find the silverfish spawner?

[@Zebra_Paw]

well the tool is kind of built into the game what more could you want?

[@mmikolaj]

ninjabrain bot is just a really complicated calculator that uses in-game information and combines it with some math theory (it has something to do with cosinus if i remember correctly), so In theory u can count it without the program but it would take a lot of time, but there isn't any know way on how to calculate other things like spawners. Maybe in future

[@sharpieman2035]

The mods have a clause that requires them to explicitly allow any new external tools. In addition calculators were only unbanned for triangulation in the vote, they are still not allowed for other things like nav.

[@Zebra_Paw]

@@mmikolaj you can in fact calibrate your PC to know exactly how much block entity a spawner generates in pie chart just like you calibrate the ninjabrain bot. Then you can make a tool that when you aim with 30 FOV and the proper settings tells you how likely the pr is to be in the direction you are looking towards

[@Zebra_Paw]

@@sharpieman2035 yes but if it allows for preemptiving on any computer so that everything is fair, it should get accepted

[@braydenmckaig9327]

dansby is the mansby with the plansby

[@corneliuswood4917]

Bro threw Dansby Swanson in with Michael Jordan 💀

[@MonaLisa-ux6xd]

1 Minute in front of WR pace ???? So in some alternative Universe he could have gotten a sub 13 O_O ??!?!

[@00glyB00gly]

great vid, but I can't help but think the font used in a load of the text just looks bad

[@tylerevans4172]

DANSBY SWANSON LETS GOOOO

[@alphahawk325]

So bittersweet

[@petercarioscia9189]

Weird in bedrock, it SEEMS like Acacia villages and TONS of hay bales. I've mined a stack, stack and a half of hay from mulitple acacia villages.

[@bigJplane]

Bro did not just put Dansby Swanson in the conversation 😅

[@aaa24637]

I wish the title couldve been more honest about the category. imo, a game version isnt a category.. its just a different version of the game. But I can understand why they'd have it as its own cat. At the same time it should be titled Any% along with game ver. Categories in my opinion could be like village% house% farm% full diamond armor% stuff like that instead of just saying oh hey 1. whatever is now a full on category. Maybe this conclusion is dumb but idk I think it makes sense at least a little

[@Antuan_the_Swan]

Mechanical skill, mental agility and dedication? So it takes adderall. Drugs test all of these runners! 🙂

[@HayeitNatoo]

Dansby swanson is crazy
