now there are speedruns up to 1.9,1.9-1.15,1.16+ I suggest up to 1.9,1.9-1.13,1.14-1.15,1.16.1,1.16.2+ I explain in category 1.9-1.15 it makes no sense to speedrun on versions 1.9-1.13 due to the lack of new trade and on version 1.16+, well, there is a 0.1% chance that someone will speedrun not on 1.16.1 and on versions 1.16.2+ there will be a choice of either piglins or distorted forest, well, or combine it, this practice is already on the bedrock

Runs for 1.16.2+ wouldn't be popular since that's basically just 1.16.1, but you die more often because of the berserk piglins. Similarly, running version 1.9-1.13 is basically 1.8 (getting ender pearls is the same) with a changed end fight. That's why these versions are not represented on the leaderboard iirc

Instead of 1.16.2+ it should be 1.16-1.17, and then 1.18+

Yes can be, because when I run 1.18 it's different found Village or lava pool with new generation

1.18 is still more or less the same route... just with worse trading rates and lack of ocean ravene to make a portal with
