@strawby no, you just make it out that it's that. Ignore the threads and don't post replies if you think they are stupid.

Guys, he never said if he could use it in actual speedrunning but if there's a category for it. But obviously that would make the game pointless and dumb.

thats like asking if there is tetris category..

so I know i'm a little late, but he means a separate hacked client speedrun category. Like a new category that says 1.12.2 hacked and NOT combining all of the 1.16+ AND hacked speedruns. You guys are phrasing it like he's trying to say "hey, can I hack on a completely normal speedrun" when actually he's saying "wouldn't it be cool if we had a hacked speedrun?" like maybe we could have one where we CAN change the probabilities. maybe this would make people want to just win on one category, see who's the fastest hacker, and leave the other category alone

TAS runs are a thing (I'm not sure if they are on this site though), those are without a doubt "hacked" runs, minecraft doesn't have save states and speed changes, those had to be "hacked" in. FSG is a lot like cheating. Heck one could even argue Icarus is a kind of cheating. All those categories of runs have rules that level the playing field within the category and none of those categories are "dumb" or "stupid". Some may be perceived as "easier" than others, but that doesn't mean that they are inherently "lesser".

Hacker versus Hacker competition is a thing for tons of games. And for competitors it can be rewarding, fun, and challenging. For viewers it can be interesting, entertaining, educational, and impressive. The key is that all participants in the competition are playing by the same rules.

A hacked run category would be very challenging to moderate and verify, heck, even coming up with a set of rules that would be enforceable, fair, interesting, and fun which enough people could agree on would be difficult. I would say, don't allow any cheats that would allow you to do something that couldn't be done by a player in a set seed TAS. This allows for things like assistance with speed bridging, aim assist, and x-ray but wouldn't allow flight or teleportation.

There's nothing stopping you from loading up a client, recording a run and posting it to youtube. I suggest calling it Random Seed Anarchy, or if you have rules Random Seed Partial Anarchy.

If you do, I suggest that you list all the modules that you used in the description, and disclose in the title that it is an Anarchy or Partial Anarchy run.

If you make an interesting video and people watch it, then you're on your way to creating a new category, I doubt it would get approved by the speedrun.com/mc mods and verifiers, but that doesn't matter, you can make your own leaderboard.

Is speedrunning easier in the official or hacked versions of the game? I want to set my record for speedrunning Minecraft, and I need to know which version to choose to have the best results. I know that people from https://guidedhacking.com have hacked options with some additional possibilities unlocked, which theoretically would make the speedrunning easier and faster. Would it be fair to choose this option? I think that it would not be very fair. But what do other speedrunners choose? What is the standard version accepted? And does it exist at all?

@stefanytill hacked clients aren't really allowed in the other categories, but some categories allow mods that help minecraft run faster, there's a list here:
