Was the New Minecraft World Record FAKED?

Please support the channel, download buff through my link!!: link.buff.game/TheWeeklyThing1
IMPORTANT CORRECTION: World Preview, the mod arturz was using, is actually a legal mod and did not contribute to the run being rejected. Apologies for the mistake!
In this video, we take a look at the new rejected Minecraft world record, break down the run itself, and try to decide whether it was a fake speedrun. Thanks to all our viewers for being patient with us during the long break between videos - our uploads should be more consistent from now on.

This is 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 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 the video for you!

Ok no that Buff thing is like the sketchiest thing i've ever saw as a sponsor. If its not a crypto miner or key logger, then what is the product? How does the company make money? If its profitable for every user then the company has to be losing money. The only way a business model like that works is if the product has a secondary feature. Think Twitter being technically free but selling your data. So my advice is dont download the shady app which claims it will make you money. It's probably got a few shadowy purposes you wont like.

"profitable for every user" And here is the catch - it simply isn't. They probably make money by showing their users ads. Apps like these usually have high minimum cashout. So high that 90% of the userbase will give up before reaching it, leaving their "earned" money in the hands of Buff. The profits from those 90% people are more than worth paying the remaining 10%.

This just makes me impressed by the Minecraft Speedrunning Leaderboards Mod Team. I don't think there's any other game where such rigorous and detailed checks are required to verify runs, even for world records. No doubt because of all the issues in the past with cheated runs. They're doing this all on a volunteer basis, it's incredible dedication to keeping the leaderboards fair and runners in check.

[@Z3rgatul]

Minecraft must be the easiest game to cheat. Thanks to very good mod support the game itself is almost open source. I started learning Minecraft modding about 6 month ago, and I can see how easy someone can cheat. For example you can force game to generate specific seed like it was random seed, or slightly adjust drop rates. We caught dream because he was streaming all day long and people were able to grab statistics from multiple runs. But you can make mod to adjust drop rate only in specific run. You may spend some time thinking how to make cheat not to leave any logs, but this is not very hard task.

1. He heard lava and confirmed that in subtitles 2. The spawn is actually quite inconvenient, could've spawned near the gold chalice.

[@Cantfindaname917]

2:10 Ah yes perfectly fine map where Greenland totally isn’t the size of the USA and Canada combined.

[@ThunderChanter]

I think if there was any cheating going on, it was with loot rate. For a 50% drop rate, he got really lucky with the rods, not to mention having the tnt and iron in the treasure chest as other examples. A lot of his dice rolls were really in his favor, so I wouldnt be shocked if foul play happening happened with those numbers

[@BlueCyann]

Nah, the mod comments about the log files strongly suggest that he repeatedly played the same seed until he got the result he wanted. The practical result is the same as if the rates were altered directly. The other stuff you mention really isn't suspicious in and of itself. Mapless buried treasure is the dominant overworld strat right now, and that's exactly because it usually gives you enough iron and food to complete a run, plus TNT as a bonus. You will see comparable nether enters several times a day from any top runner. Really great blaze rod rates are a bit less common, but these guys play a lot. Watch Crookst or Catjam or Reignex or whoever else play for a week and you'll see it happen a few times.

[@ThunderChanter]

@@BlueCyann Oh, well ,thx for the extra info

[@iamgoo]

This issue with this is that with every world record you are almost bound to have a lot of lucky things happen. So it's not too suspicious on it's own.

[@nut897]

On top of what BlueCyann said any tampering with the loot rate wouldn't apply to the treasure chest because the chest and it's contents would be determined by the seed and would've been immediately discovered by anyone who loaded up the world.

[@petersmythe6462]

Chests aren't randomized. So you can verify that. If it was a spliced set seed, that should leave evidence but it's not guaranteed.

[@samx6557]

1. Its not a stronghold locator, its a stronghold calculator. By throwing two eyes of ender you could calculate it yourself by simple triangulation, thats exactly what the bot does. I prefer the categories where bots and calculators are banned, too. 2. To count the time spent in the menus would be total nonsense, to count it would mean to test, which runner has the better PC, not which runner is the better runner. On a slow PC the menus take longer, especially the Nether loading screen.

Time spent in menus is only unrecorded if it's under 5 seconds, this is to make it so people with slower computers don't have a disadvantage when they need to load a new dimension or change their render distance due to lag.

Can someone explain why the mod is illegal for me? I find it pretty stupid how a mod that doesn’t affect gameplay in any way is illegal, where things like multi-instancing are. To me it just seems like the lb mods dislike people with worse hardware.

[@KekPafrany]

I'm not sure but I think because it gives you time to think and plan your moves while who doesn't have strong computer cannot do multy-instances.. There were runs where the player would pause the game to look around and that gave him time to think and plan the next step - and it became a hot argument if this should be allowed at all because it is abusing the rules (or not). There is two time for the runs for a reason: the whole time where your pauses, downloading and everything is counted. And the retime when only the gameplay counts. One reason of this because there are players with weaker setups, slower computers, it might take more time for them to load into the nether etc etc, and the other reason for the longer (all achievement) runs where we should allow the player to take a piss in the 3-4-6-8+ hour long game..

Can't fault someone for good rng, its RNG. If a known respected runner got perfect rng, noone would bat an eye

[@BlueCyann]

I don't think you can even go by that stuff. Fast nether enter, close bastion, fast trades, close-enough fortress, fast blaze split (whether by means of high rates, large number of spawns or both), close blind or easy double travel, quick nav, quick perch. That's eight things that can go right or wrong in a run and you already need to have at least 7/8 to be anywhere close. So I trust the mods' understandably less-than-detailed suggestion that the log files looked Not Right over most details you're going to find in a run itself.

[@chelz25]

How was this too perfect? He literally had to spend extra time in the bastion waiting for trades. 6/7 is lucky but it is completely normal

[@racsoboom8570]

This run didn't even have good rng compared to most wrs

[@Hakasedess]

I see no reason to give the benefit of the doubt if he's both cheated repeatedly in the past and fails to follow the rules. Sure, technically it's possible this was legitimate, but at some point you just gotta admit that it's not possible to prove every single faked run IS fake, so you have to employ some more wide-net methods that *could* snag a legitimate run, but likely won't, such as "This guy cheats all the damn time, what's the actual chance he booted up the game and got the new WR in a few tries, legitimately? Very low? OK, fuck it." Much preferable to a faked run staying up forever as the WR just because nobody was able to conclusively show it despite kinda figuring it's gotta be fake.

It's better to let ten guilty men go than falsely prosecute an innocent.

[@Hakasedess]

@@curtisevans8413 In general, this is true, but we're not dealing with like, the justice system here. We're dealing with leaderboards for a video game, and a person with a track record for cheating to get on top of it submitting a sus entry.

[@gamefreak2016]

11:31 so if you don’t respond quickly enough because of work or family, they get suspicious? 🤣

[@Wlute]

i tried buff but when i do the challenges, nothing happens. im not using a client, and im on hypixel

[@CalvinXD123]

Are you gonna make a video on Ian g 9:01 bedrock run ?

[@lilydome]

personally i believe that the mods are right to reject this run cuz even if this run is real (which likely isn't true considering it's a sus run) they didn't follow the rules and if he was doing it legit he should have quickly uploaded the files it doesn't take that long to go into ur world folder upload it into google drive or other file sharing website copy the link paste it in a google forum and press the submit button

[@gusedixhoven1477]

Is it weird to say that I enjoy this voice and like to listen to it?

[@boring_content]

Called himself “DREAMingArturzz” and thought no one would notice him cheating a wr speedrun

[@SemW]

There’s no proof he cheated so you comment doesn’t make sense.

[@aloevera3317]

There is proof that he wasn't running vanilla Minecraft and he admitted to that. He also claimed to be unaware that the mods were active. Intitially I believed Dream's first video about it. But more and more evidence came out against him. He also admitted to cheating in school in an unrelated interview, so take that into consideration.

[@Flezink]

@@aloevera3317 He obviously cheated, but cheating in school has nothing to do with faking a minecraft speedrun.

[@sugmaru5756]

Bruh y'all agurging over a kids game 💀

[@jmdcomplexity1034]

Ive always wondered, is it possible for someone with a negative reputation in speedrunning, to just create a whole new persona to speedrun under? Like could Arturz just reinvent himself under a new persona, with no one knowing? Im not apart of the speedrunning scene, so I honestly dont know since i dont know the type of due diligence done on not only the speedrun, but the speedrunner also. If i had to guess, with the technology nowadays, id think it’d be quite difficult, but still possible. Especially if you aren’t much of a streamer & never showed your face or talked much. Idk, just a random thought lol

[@Jasonvoor]

How many times it happend we will never know, because thoose new personas won't admit being a cheater in the past or maybe they still cheat but smarter, when you act as a new guy the moderators most of the time will give you benefit of the doubt. There's actually reversed example to your question in Mario Kart speedruning where one speedrunner claimed multiple world records later turned out to be three people under one name. No one would know if they didn't reveal themselfs. Multiple speedruners being one person is also doable in my eyes.

[@beardiemom]

I think, if someone has cheated repeadetly in a competition, even if it's something as inconsequential as minecraft speedruns, at some point, someone deserves to just be banned from the competition, even if they have changed, since the risk of them just becoming abetter cheater and submitting a cheated run that gets accepted is there and would be unfair to legitimate competitors.

[@domca26_]

you're correct

[@angie-dn2xv]

at 6:39 you sped past the part where he placed 2 netherrack with dirt lol

[@kuzatheaviator]

Just to say, another sub 9 was done quite recently by a runner known as sagi ipal. The time of the run was 8:37 meaning it beat this run if it was verified. You should make a video on it, it has the CLEANEST 4 bed I've ever seen

[@bloodprince9779]

he knows, he mentions it at the end and that his next video is going to be on it

[@boilra]

world wide but greenland is huge

[@showup5241]

Video on the new record coming?

[@cylorun]

great video but just wanna say that world preview is a allowed mod

[@Swaroop704]

Wait ender iagl didn't broke the wr in 1.16 rsg? Did it got rejected

[@zloth54]

3 and 4 were more than enough of a reason for me. The cheater acquisation was the final nail in the coffin

That's quite sad
