@TrenttheN642 I wasn't referring to whether they would, but rather if other people think they should.
Isn't the stronghold much different in 1.17 though? Could be wrong but that's what I've heard.
Also, what counts as different enough for separation?
1.17 is likely on it's way within the next 2 months or so and I wanted to hear other peoples' opinions on whether or not 1.16 should be it's own category when 1.17 comes out or whether 1.16 and 1.17 runs should compete in the same category.
I don't want the run to be rejected, and it's definitely a huge achievement, but unless we're gonna alter the rules we shouldn't allow Illumina to use fabric api just because he's a respected player. If we start doing that, we're essentially going back 15 years to the days of no video runs accepted as a WR because they were a known player.
honestly the mods should just ban optifine entirely. it makes people mad that 1.16 doesn't have optifine yet pre 1.16 does, so they end up making stupid forum posts, and also shouldn't be allowed in the first place. the fact that an external modification that we KNOW fucks w the game is allowed just because some people can't run block game is kinda retarded.
i don't think anybody's questioning that illumina did it legit, but I think rules should be consistently enforced. if illumina used fabric API it should get rejected.
wait you actually did a run without making sure the third party program you used was allowed?
yeah, but some runners still speedrun 1.15. When 1.17 comes out it'll probably be in the 1.16+ section unless it has some crazy run changing strat
bruh just say glitched instead of "non glitchless" because thats confusing.
@kazii fr. all these languages from around the world and you just spoke FACTS
optifine is banned, and also is way different than a hacked client. a hacked client literally changes the entire game, AND most likely includes optifine. what is with all the "can i use optifine or hack client or pvp client" threads recently?
because they necro'd to say they need optifine without even trying out sodium.
bro, this is minecraft speedruns. what game on speedrun.com allows you to play a completely modified version of a game LOL
people are lazy and don't wanna install a mod on their computers so they whine because THEY can't run a game. not like we made their pc suck.
