All Branches
5 years ago

For All Branches (currently called No Freebie), a large number of ender pearl be duplicated and preserved into rooms. At the end when the last wool be inserted, can we then skip the intended hole?

I assume that you probably could, but I'd wait for the mod to respond before you do it.

Not sure how you could preserve ender pearls, as again we can't alter command blocks into the hub, but submit a run and we'll check it out. We can take a vote if we want glitches/exploits allowed for No Freebie/All Branches, or we could even make 2 versions of it.

I think one "All Branches" is necessary, but only one of "allow freebie" and "disallow freebie" is enough. "No freebie, no glitch/exploits" also has a good reason to exist

Personally, I think we should either not have them, or have 2 separate categories. But I have an idea for a new category anyways, which I'll make a new thread for rn

Canada

OK, the categories have been clarified. We now have All Branches, which allows all glitches and exploits, and a version which allows none. Additionally, No Exploits has been removed. This is done to remove as much overlap as possible, because personally I think it's kind of silly if we have two categories that are virtually identical save one gets the freebie and one does the arena branch instead.

Also, in case you weren't aware of how to preserve ender pearls out of the lobby and into branches, what you can do is throw an ender pearl towards the teleport, and while it's in the air, put the pearls in your crafting slot.

Canada

Yeah actually, that is a good idea. Hmm... yeah i guess in theory you could preserve stuff to other branches... Well, if we need another category, we'll make it when the run shows up that doesn't fit well into other categories. For now, we have plenty imo.

Preserving other stuff than pearl seems useless(in arena can skip the battles with pearl) tho category discuss may still exist in case that one of several need to be chosen, but I now don't find good new ones

EDIT: IL that allows preparation seems hard at in-game timing?

I was thinking it might be best to re-time IL's, starting on first movement and including getting the white wool etc. But currently, no preparation is allowed for IL's.

but some videos don't start recording from first movement ...

compared to diversity 2 leaderboard:

yeah, therein lies a major problem, it would basically invalidate all previous runs, thus we cannot do it.

Iowa, USA

This may just be me, but I think that All Branches shouldn't be considered a Miscellaneous category anymore. Thoughts?

Iowa, USA

Also, once you get all the wools in the chest, you could then ender pearl to the finale pressure plate area inside of waiting for the stair, correct? (In All Branches w/ glitches)

Canada

Yes you probably could. And All Branches remains a misc category for now because there are no runs.

For Glitchless, either allow multifreebie or add "not allowed" into the rule (general rule and all category rule both fine)

Iowa, USA

Well he already said in a different area that taking multiple freebies isn't allowed, but it would be good to add it into the rules.

Canada

It was added.

Why I can't see it

  1. No breaking or placing items unless instructed or implied.
  2. No changing difficulty or gamemode.
  3. No typing game commands.
  4. You may not place or break blocks within this bedrock chamber. You may not use any glitches in Minecraft. You may not preserve items from the any Branch outside of that respective branch.
Canada

you are looking in the wrong spot. It's under no exploits because that is the only applicable category

Timing starts on movement and ends upon respawning on top of the wall facing the Diversity logo. You must get the wool from their respective spots in each branch, you may not skip to the end or take the freebie wool.

You may not use any glitches in Minecraft, nor use any exploits in the map mechanics.

The following exploits are forbidden in this category: -- Skipping portions of the labyrinth branch due to damage boosting or surviving a dip in lava. -- Jumping into the redstone below the Boss Battle Branch and altering the contents of the hopper to skip fighting the Witherboss. -- Preserving items from any branch outside of that respective branch. -- Activating command blocks from outside of the bedrock box in the Survival branch. -- Obtaining multiple freebie wools. <----------- HERE

This is not an exhaustive list, these are just the currently known exploits. Any new exploit not on this list is also considered banned.

  1. All map rules must be followed. Generally speaking, map rules trump all.
  2. No altering gameplay affecting options (difficulty, open to lan, etc.) after loading the map, unless instructed to do so by the map rules.
  3. No mods are allowed except optifine (assuming zoom is not utilized) and mods specifically required by the map.
  4. Use the correct Minecraft version for the map version you have.
