The New Minecraft World Record is One of a Kind

Drip120's new Minecraft RSG Speedrun World Record is one of a kind, both for what goes down during the run, and the fact that it was rejected by the speedrun.com team for using an illegal mod. In this video, I break down and analyze this new record, and explain exactly what's going on with the leaderboard moderator team's decision.

here’s a solution, allow the mod. tell anyone who was rejected to re submit their runs

That's what I'd do. Not manually re-verify all previous runs, but ask anyone with such an unverified run if they want to be re-verified

Yes! I Agree, The mod should be allowed! All it does is prevent your game from crashing, and it’s actually ridiculous that they declined the run just for that.

[@binchamers]

The mod used is open source and actually is verifiable, it just had not been verified yet.

[@CraftingHock]

I think a good course of action is this: 1. Allow the mod. 2. Then re-review this run and allow it given the new rules. 3. Have two flares on every run. One flare for if the run is still valid given updated rules, and a second flare for whether the run was valid given the rules when the run was submitted. The third step is important because it still incentivizes runners to go out of their way to make sure they are following the speedrunning guidelines and not hoping the mods will bend the rules if they do achieve a WR. Runners would rather have an uncontested WR than one with a flare stating they did not follow the rules provided at the time. But, this policy would still allow the mods to allow obviously legitimate runs where the runner forgot to cross all their t's and dot all their i's. Another positive benefit of this policy is that the mods can have their cake and eat it too: they can stay consistent to their policies while still allowing legit runners who did not follow guidelines to be on the leaderboard. A final positive benefit of this policy is that old runs that used to be valid but no longer are would be specified as such. This would allow us to better compare old runs that used strategies/mods that are no longer allowed so we can compare apples to apples.

[@tildejustin]

option two has been done

[@HarryS56]

The minecraft speedrun mod team is ridiculous. So an external tool to find the exact position of the stronghold is allowed but something that prevents game crashes isn’t.

[@battle188883]

Iirc the argument for why calcs are allowed is that you can technically learn to do it by memory and calculations alone. What's stopping someone from pausing the game to do the calculation themselves lmao I still find the calc existing an unfortunate thing mind you, but I can kinda stand by the decision when without the decision, it would be optimal to pause the game while doing the calc by yourself, and take however long you need to do so.

[@hamdepaf6686]

Well the problem isn't really that the mod isn't allowed, like it's understandable by the sheer amount of mods that exists, that not every technically legal mod is actually explicitly legalized. The problem is that by the time of the run it wasn't legal to use the mod, thus by technicality this run broke the rule. Basically the mod team has to reject this run out of fairness and upholding the rule everyone has agreed to. The mod team also has to be super vigilant with any "world Record", take dreams run for example. All in all this situation is unfortunate, but I think it shouldn't be too much of a problem, because it should be possible to make the use of this mod legal and than have the run be resubmitted.

[@Przemko27Z]

It's a matter of rules and technicalities. The mod wasn't disruptive, but any mod not explicitly legalised is forbidden. So, per protocol, the run was rejected. Since it's the job of the team to uphold the rules, it's arguably the right move to do so. They gotta play by their own rules if they want to be taken seriously. Now, they should probably just allow the mod so the run can be resubmitted, though.

The thing about that is, they're very human mistakes. There will always be plenty of those to find in any speedrun, even if they are drastically reduced as people practice more. Any run without any human error would be a TAS. And since these happen in every run, it ends up coming down to luck to the same degree as saying "If only he had gotten all the blaze rods from the first few blazes", you could say this, but ultimately over time this averages out into the field of statistics rather than random luck or skill (unless you're Dream ofc /s). It's an inconsequential statement and it would be better to appreciate the massive skill required to get to this level rather than saying the 'if only' statement that Drip is probably feeling bad about already.

The blue text at 16:43 is basically exactly what should be done. If a mod is used that is only for performance and quality of life, the speedrun should be allowed. Of course it should be heavily investigated but if the mod is harmless, there’s no reason it should stop a run from being verified. Imo the mod team definitely owes an apology to the people they’ve done this to, even if they didn’t necessarily want to do it.

[@prowou2503]

This isn't feasible atm. The run verifiers already spend a lot of their own time verifying runs for no monetary compensation. The queue to get a 1.16 rsg run verified is about 4 months at the moment if my recently verified run is any good estimate. It's unfair to go up to people already doing a lot of work for the sake of the community out of kindness alone and tell them they also have to start investigating code and all of the interactions it has with the game to ensure it grants no unfair advantage. If you want a mod to be allowed, petition/argue for it, and get it approved. The work done in verification shouldn't go any further than a check to see if used mods match something that is allowed. The game's too hard to moderate already - there's no reason to just tack on more variables into the verification process when there just don't have to be.

[@sixroller6147]

[@Mew_Tea]

The run can be valid in the future if the mod team allows the mod to be used, meaning this is going to wr or close to it in the futute

[@psychopiper8224]

I hope they make that decision soon. Denying this run is a spit in the face to this community's collective effort over these past few years, and especially towards such an incredible run with such a harmless, open source mod installed for the sole sake of crash prevention. I've generally agreed with the mods in the past on their decisions, but keeping this run denied will severely dampen my trust in their judgement. We should not be punishing players for having poorer hardware when they're using provably fair mods to equalize the playing field - the last thing MC speedrunning needs is a fat paywall in the form of a beefy computer

What I think you're referring to is the moderator statement which says that "several other world record runs (in other categories) have been unverifiable (aka rejected) for the same reason (using an unallowed mod to prevent crashes)." The unallowed mods that got other runs rejected were different mods. The mod that Drip used (called New Horizons) is a new mod, used by very few players, that the moderators did not know about. Drip's speedrun is the first known run to use the unallowed mod in question. Furthermore, had the moderators been aware of the mod, they would not have allowed it (like you say they should've for QoL reasons) but rather updated WorldPreview to implement the fix instead, as they try to keep the number of allowed mods as low as possible and not add extra unnecessary ones.

I think it's against the spirit of fairness for the Minecraft moderators to not verify a run just because the runner used a harmless quality of life mod. They know the mod can't be used to cheat, so there's no reason to reject runs for using it.

damn sub 30 any% is crazy congrats!

[@nothingherezero7182]

They have to be fair they rejected others runs for the same reason

[@detroityeet7048]

@@nothingherezero7182 They should go back and un-reject them

@@kittenish7116 Yeah, it was tough. I think it's my proudest achievement so far.

it reminds me of brentilda's run. i still cannot forget it. among all those lack of resources, he did that then.

At this rate world records might just be The Weekly thing

[@meepk633]

Making exceptions for rules that you've already applied to others can only delegitimize the boards. Their original decision was completely justifiable. Outrage and the specialness of the run are completely irrelevant.

drip has the world record (ALSO CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW PERFECTLY TIMED THE BEAT DROP IS AT 14:35 WTF)

as long as he doesnt hire a harvard professor to say the mod is harmless, i say let him keep the WR

[@salthal]

i hope they can reconsider

Beautiful video I loved it thanks you !

Nice music choice

[@lukebytes5366]

There's setting an example and then there's being stubborn. The team should've given a warning and nothing more.

[@mewantbacon4201]

seems a the best way to handle this is check the mod is fine to use by the mods then to retroactivily allow all runs using it. As if it is needed to stop crashes from a mod needed for WR runs, then the mods can't expect people not to use it to actually be able to play. Or to verify a different mod that solves the same issue. Either way this is the WR for multiple things and should least be shown at the top with an astrix as mod did confirm was harmless.

[@indigo_onion]

it needs to be on the leaderboard

[@TheJacklikesvideos]

it seems to me what should be the issue is whatever that stronghold calculator plugin is. how is that tool allowed in an RTA run?

[@n0_ne907]

I think I saw in another video analyzing drip's run the reason the mod was not whitelisted was it was only downloaded by 6 people and the mods just didn't think of it. which makes sense

[@oliviahyerobrine]

makes no sense as whitelisting it would be the first thought anyone would have thought to do as they’ve made those exceptions in the past

I remember world records being 20 min when I was still playing Minecraft. Shit changes so fast

[@WolfGaming-lo1ze]

In my opinion: Drip should have made sure that mod was allowed before hand buut I don't see an issue with any mod that does not alter your chances of getting a WR with cheating etc Due to the mod only helping prevent crashes it's not cheating to me and I think it would be a better idea to re-veeify all runs that use mods that don't actually alter performance of the player and only improve performance of the game on computers

[@joel784]

I mean drip didnt even intend a WR Speedrun and also probably assumed they will accept the mod since it literally just helps people not die of rage

[@WolfGaming-lo1ze]

Which yeah I do fully recognize those points entirely. However of course I still don't agree with the that run and others in the past being taken down by a mod that does not actually allow you to cheat, but I understand the decisions and reason just don't agree with them

[@infinitemovers6344]

I can just imagine how heartbreaking it is to feel proud of yourself for beating the world record only to not be accepted because of that mod that clearly not used for cheating😢

[@Touplopl]

7:10 That beat made me feel like I was gonna get rickrolled for a sec its so similar bruh

[@Kirmo13]

haha you're right I can hear it

[@sillyrun]

5:15 4 4 bt lets goooo

[@Voskos]

Sounds like a time for a mod review, if the mod indeed does nothing else other than prevent crashes, then explicit allow it.

[@davidheffernan3829]

BT generates at 9/9. It's the starter staircase that is 4/4.

[@skipperbut]

As much as I'd love to see a summoning Salt video on minecraft one day. I won't be surprised if he never did one due to the "community"/moderators or runners making it so damn complicated to keep up with the official records. So many cheated whether it's the player cheating or being cheated, lots of inconsistency on what to play with as an what mods to use, and - ->personally< - - the "speed runs" are already weird due to the timer being paused in certain moments of the run, and ofc the inconsistencies of who can run minecraft better and who struggles in certain parts/loading screens.

[@petersmythe6462]

Wow. That's probably the fastest end enter. I've seen people get to the stronghold by dumb luck about 4 minutes into a manhunt by accidentally B-lining it with dolphin's grace, but actually getting there ready to enter is amazing.

the length ui is put in a very unfortunate place in the thumbnail

[@wolfcl0ck]

I think the decision of the mods doesn't really matter. Who cares if it's rejected off of an arbitrary leaderboard when everyone in the community already knows that it was legitimate? Speedrunning history is built upon these thing. In the old days, Speed Demos Archive would reject *any* run that "used glitches." This meant any form of non-glitchless run, such as most games' any%s, were refused from the leaderboards. The runners, however, didn't care. They just made their own leaderboards and kept track in their own communities. I believe this is actually a part of why SDC exists in the first place. While it's a shame about the runner and that mod definitely *should* have been accepted anyway since it was just a patch to fix a potential crash on another accepted mod, I don't blame the moderators for sticking to their guns.
