I don't have the game myself yet, but I've seen a few LPs and I researched stuff. When someone categorised the game as "sandbox", I wondered how much you could actually make/construct in it. And then I had the idea to make a pile of every object that can be picked up: · scroll · projection stone (technically even many types) · Solanum's stones (technically even six types) · warp core (maybe differentiate between regular and advanced or even empty/white/black/advanced/broken) · artifact (maybe differentiate between normal and experimental) · lantern (maybe differentiate between lit and extinguished) You can also move your ship and your player character. Rafts and glowing orbs can be moved, but in a limited way. You can also push/ram some objects around like skeletons, Feldspar's ship, the floating lights near the Dark bramble escape pod or probably also the parts of your ship after its reactor explodes, but including those would make the challenge very annoying. I also think that just one variation of everything I listed should be included, otherwise it gets too repetitive and with all types pretty surely impossible to collect everything in time. Maybe including the broken warp core could be fun, because it's a unique extra challenge, you don't normally need to get out of Dark bramble again. Once I have the game myself, I definitely want to try this challenge, but that could take a while. Maybe until then someone else wants to give it a go!

I use "3C toolbox". Requires root, but you can disable any component ("activity", "provider", "receiver" or "service") of any app, so it's like a more customisable version of adblock. For this one, it's pretty easy: Disable everything except "com.raongames.bounceball.BounceBallActivity". I've also disabled all permissions except for "prevent phone from sleeping", but that probably isn't needed either if you're speedrunning. ;) You might also need to delete some cached ads ("manage"→"open"→"data folder" in 3C), but I don't know which folder they're in. I just deleted everything, because I had freshly installed the app anyway. Note that disabling internet permissions will also prevent all online features, of course. I didn't test whether it's sufficient to just disable the components instead.

There are recommendations at the end and an OBS window, it's clearly recorded from a YouTube video. The uploader clearly stole the video and didn't actually get that time.

For some reason I got no notifications for any of the replies here. "HHH is merging with Icarus" What? They're totally different. I got told in a support chat now how to do it: "edit game"→moderators, there the three dots next to my name.

For some reason I got added as a moderator of this category. I never had any particular interest in it, I don't even think I've ever seen a full run of it, but now I keep getting notifications like "a new run is awaiting verification". Apparently I can't turn that off for a single category, only globally, which I don't want. So can I please be made not a moderator anymore?

You could have turned the wheat into bread and could have probably crafted a lot more things out of wood to safe some running.

Interesting category idea!

Speedruns aren't meant to be easy.

1. Create second account
2. "Hide" 10 balloons right outside the starting circle with that second account
3. Switch to main account
4. Get those 10 balloons

My point is that balloons have wildly different difficulty, so even with random selection the world record would just become the person who is the luckiest in finding easy balloons. It's like those Minecraft "get diamond" speedruns where people just find a seed where they spawn right in front of a village house that has a diamond in a chest, completing the objective in 5 seconds. Not really that interesting.

Potentially a better idea would be selecting fixed moons together as a community that are known to be very hard to reach and interesting to speedrun, like it happened in Super Mario maker for "Super warp world".

If someone knows, please comment here: https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-63 It is confirmed for 1.13.2, but barely anyone really knows how to reproduce it, so it's currently set to "Awaiting response". Some claim that it's just pressing the X icon, some claim that they can't do it, even with very precise task killing. Clear reproduction steps would not only help in fixing the bug (which can also cause item loss, not just duplication) and also help speedrunners, because even once it gets fixed (which can still take years), it's still good to know how it works in past versions.

He used a new route in sand kingdom (for example I'm pretty sure that the potted plants were not a part of it before), which was much faster. He also had a slightly different route in some other places and generally played really well. He also used version 1.3 of the game, which might have something to do with it.

The End fight in the peaceful world record was extremely fast, they didn't even destroy the crystals. The new non-peaceful seed is new and therefore not completely optimised yet. And you can run into mobs in that category, which slows you down.

But the time difference is so big that I would guess that it's worth a try, sure. But if course only in those old versions.

All other runs have available videos, even second and third place.

Same for Vanish.

The rules say that video evidence is required for the world record, but that person used a video that is no longer available.

What do you mean, the seed of an existing world?

You seem to be confused indeed. What was that arrangement of words meant to say?

Arbitrary code execution is a method of using multiple bugs in the game to write into an unused area of RAM and then jumping to it, thereby executing instructions that you wrote into that area. Here is an explanation video:

Google+ was shut down for regular users, it should be removed from the profile settings and from profiles.

If it makes running slower, there will probably be a new category.
