Hello,

I recently found a way to use joy2key to map Xbox 360 controller inputs to keyboard and mouse inputs hence allowing me to play Minecraft Java this way. I very much like this as my first experience of Minecraft was the X360 version and I have always found the controllers more comfortable.

Would this be allowed for speedrunning? On speedruns for games which allow Virtual Console or Emulators the general rules seem to be no analogue to digital conversion, one-to-one button mapping, and no macros/auto-clickers/etc. (it is possible to use joy2key to click very quickly). I suppose that I map the bumpers towards mouse wheel scrolling so I can change items (Buttons 4 & 5 didn't work for some reason) which is arguably analogue to digital conversion, but I don't see it as a huge advantage considering it is slower and quite awkward, so I don't see a reason for it being banned. I know that keyboard and mouse is more comfortable for some people, and is probably better for high precision inputs, but that is not the point here, I am asking if I would be allowed since I don't think it gives me an unfair advantage in any way.

Well done Illumina on new WR + sub 7.

Does anybody know of a TAS of this category on the 1.6.4 seed we use? I would be interested to see how fast it can be done.

I seem to observe we have had a lot of activity in this category recently, I have been practising myself but usually get stuck either on the blazes (takes too long or I burn to death) or on the ender dragon (bed trick not mastered yet) plus the fact that more or less only 1/3 runs actually work thanks to spider RNG. I will get there eventually!

I apologise if my original post is too long or multi-subjected but I was impressed with the newest runs in this category, and would be interested to see the TAS.

Thanks, MiracleDinner
