I mean, it might be different for each game, but for some of the games I moderate, I kind of have to watch the run in full.

To go more into the specifics, there has been a time where I've caught a runner using hacks to clip into objects. So if I didn't watch any run in full, there would probably be more hacked runs on the leaderboards for that game.

Edit: Basically what I'm trying to say is, just searching for key parts of the run doesn't necessarily cut it for all games.

I don't think we can help you very much. The definition of medium difficulty can be quite subjective. It's easier if you just find a game you like to play or are very passionate about.

It's generally recommended to use the title that is most well-known. If you're unsure about which one is, I'd say go for the US name.

Well, they're not too common, and the only example I can think of right now is Dragster. I'm pretty sure there are many others though.

A little bit off-topic, but what are people's opinions on anti-WRs (times that are purposefully attempting to get last place)? Should moderators accept them or not?

There's a few threads in the Streaming / Recording / Equipment forum that have the same questions. You can probably find answers there.

@Pear Didn't notice.

Personally, I think OP is just new to the idea of speedrunning, and is just asking a question.

This is a web version of Livesplit.

Maybe we can have tower_of_heaven? It is a shrine map.

Edit: Also, maybe we can have the shrine maps listed in order, and then have the non-shrine maps in Misc. (so miniparkour would be moved there). Just a suggestion.

Can confirm. The game was added last night.

Godspeed on your Minecraft goals. Getting into top 10 (for Java) is insanely difficult (afaik). You shouldn't have to worry about becoming a "well-known" runner though. It's not something that you can work towards accomplishing, it's just something that can randomly happen.

Considering that it's Scratch webgame that is less than 7 minutes in length, I can't say I'm surprised it got deleted.

Check the rules and ask the moderators.

Also you can contact the moderators using their contact info. Try addressing them about these issues directly.

I'm gonna be honest here, I have no idea what Optifine is, but I'm a firm believer that games should be speedran in the most "vanilla" of conditions (although this may be different for specific cases).

It sounds like Optifine increases the rate of mob spawning? That on its own already sounds reasonable enough to ban it from Minecraft: Java Edition speedruns.

You should bring this up with the moderators and the community surrounding this game. The general speedrunning forums won't be able to help you.

Different games have different rules regarding where a run is uploaded. Some accept runs from multiple places such as Google Drive, Twitch, Bilibili, and even Twitter (just to name a few). Others may restrict them to YouTube or Twitch. Your best bet is to ask the moderators for the specific game you want to speedrun.
