Never realized there was a leaderboard for this after all these years until I was reviewing some old videos of mine and decided to check! Figured I'd submit it for old times' sake.
A very old run of mine (back when Optifine was a must for my potato of a computer) where I tried to beat the map without using Nether portal sequence breaking (which is/was a strategy that I didn't care to do). I also changed it to Hardcore mode too because that was "hip" back then. I got the time down to sub-29 minutes and I was pretty proud of both my time and my route back then. I could've grinded it lower, but then college took over my life and that was the end of that. Regardless, this run and this map still has a fond place in my heart. ❤️
