Hey!

I made a vid explaining the SSG WR by HawaiiValle and I thought I'd share it. Reddit won't let me post it due to not enough karma haha

Thanks for watching :)))))

(could someone type [VIDEO] in the title? I don't know how to edit it)

"If I were to change the 3 to a 4, I'll get a completely different [world]." Sorry but this isn't quite true, as there are some things which are only affected by certain numbers in the seed. E.g. we formerly used the seed -2242547518357798464 for Any% No Glitch, e.g. Then we found a more recent seed, -2063810908146531904 Despite using two different seeds, and the overworlds initially appearing different, you will see that the nether, end, and stronghold (including the number of eyes in the portal, crucially) are exactly the same. I believe the cause of this is because the way that the seeds are processed means that the nether, end, and stronghold generation is determined solely by functions which only use certain numbers in the seed, or which put the numbers through a function which produces the same result for these two seeds (in the same way that the function f(x) = cosh(x) produces the same output for -6 and +6). I cannot tell you for certain, because I do not know exactly what these functions are, but I suspect that there are many ways in which two different seeds can give the same world.

By the way, the "beacons" in the end are called "ender crystals." A beacon is actually a separate item, which you obtain by crafting a Nether star (from killing the wither) with 5 glass and 3 obsidian, which you place on a pyramid of iron, gold, emerald, or diamond (doesn't change the results so use iron because it's cheapest) to get a beam of light into the sky and, more importantly, a host of buffs including speed, haste, resistance, jump boost, strength, and regeneration. You also need to feed it an iron ingot, gold ingot, emerald, or diamond every time you want to set the status effect. The higher the pyramid, the stronger the buffs, plus a greater radius in which you can receive them. The beacon buffs all players in that range and they only. Imo, they're relatively useless for such a difficult item to obtain, but I think they are fun to play around with and good for decoration/aesthetics.

"At least twelve wool": According to SpoonTy, it's actually possible with 3 beds = 9 wool, but I agree that it's much more reliable to use >= 4.

Finally, I recommend that you fullscreen the game window when recording.

I use likes sparingly, but thank you and well done for your informative video. I enjoyed it very much on the large part.

Just a little precision, Killing a dragon with 3 beds is possible, but only if you manage to hit some end crystals next to the dragon in order to make more damage. A dragon with a full HP bar can't be killed with 3 beds only
