So I recently had the idea, that I could try to speedrun mining diamonds, so I did a few runs. I then went on here and found what I thought would be the category, which I was speedrunning. But the '"mine diamonds* category on here doesn't require you to actually mine the diamonds. So (as the top runners do) you can just make a creeper explode your diamond ore. I would find it war more iteresting if the player actually had to mine the diamond ore. So my suggestion for a new "mine diamonds" category would be that you would physically have to mine the diamond with a iron or diamond pickaxe. Structures would be allowd, as you couldn's just get the diamond out of the chest anymore. Tell me what you think about the idea! :D

Good idea would definitely run it

I believe this idea has already been proposed in another thread: https://www.speedrun.com/mc/thread/4utpz

I agree that using a creeper to explode an ore block is not "mining" but I think that at some point in the future we will revise these categories.

Hype.
