basically what @kingdinocharge said yeah

but i will say so because why not lmao

just go with what you need - 2-4 beds should be enough if you're doing bastions, no more or else it takes up precious inventory space later on.

first get stone tools - mine three logs on a house and craft a crafting table and 8 sticks, then craft a wooden pickaxe. mine the cobblestone on village houses, as it saves time and you dont need to dig down to get stone. get 7 cobblestone, and craft a stone pick, shovel, and axe. chop down more wood for blocks and for sticks and whatever you might need later on.

open chests, but dont take the things you dont need. for example, in fisherman houses there can be water buckets and in village tanneries there is leather armor - but things like coal, raw fish and potatoes dont matter much as you get food from hay bales.

tiaga villages are best for a couple reasons: although they dont have food 1. they have 3 types of blacksmiths. 1regular blacksmith and 2 toolsmiths. they also have armories, that have armor stands with two pieces of iron armor. the second reason is that their blacksmiths are smaller. the smaller the village building, the more likely it is to generate - and the tiaga blacksmiths are much smaller than other villages. the third reason is that there are chests in more than half of the houses, which can have food (pumpkin pie, potatoes, sweet berries), wood, and even iron nuggets. the fact that there is wood in chests makes it so you dont have to mine wood yourself, and there is a 65.6% chance for logs in a chest, and there are an average of 3.056 wood per chest.

mine 7-21 hay bales, whatever you're comfortable with. the longer you think the run will be, the more hay bales you get. each hay bale is equal to 3 bread.

locate any blacksmiths/toolsmiths. they can have iron, iron tools, gold ingots, diamonds, and even obsidian, although sometimes you will get just bread, apples and saplings.

locate the iron golem. this is your main source of iron in the run, and is how you get to the nether. go next to it and "stack up" 3 blocks, then hit it. it cannot reach you, so you dont have to worry about getting hit. you can kill it any way you'd like - sword, axe, even lava buckets work, although you usually wont have lava before killing the golem. once you kill it you should get 3-5 iron ingots. if you get three, then you can find other ways to get iron, like iron ore, or just reset. if you get 4 or 5 iron, then craft a bucket, and go to a river (for example) and get flint, and fill your bucket with water.

try to do this quickly of course, and save as much time as possible - dont run around aimlessly without a planned route.

then locate a lava pool - if you dont see one, dig down to y = 11-13, and dig in a straight line until you find lava. after you find lava make a nether portal - there are videos on this, just look up "lava nether portal" or something like that.

after entering the nether, search for a fortress and bastion. k4yfour has a great video on that - you usually want to do bastion first, as you get fire resistance to make it easier to kill blazes. it is also important to learn bastion routes, which there are plenty of videos on, here are a few good ones:

stables: housing: bridge: treasure:

once you have all your blaze rods and pearls, then blind travel back into the overworld if you pulled 10 obsidian from the bastion (which is probable) here is a blind travel chart for where you should blind: https://www.reddit.com/r/MinecraftSpeedrun/comments/lb97hs/optimal_blind_travel_coordinates/

of course, finding the stronghold is pretty straightforward, when the eye goes down, the staircase generates at 4, 4 in a chunk. finding the portal room is random, you just run around and pray, there is no real strategy to finding it.

there are plenty of one cycling videos online, for example there is this one,

although watching does work, practice makes perfect, and just use emma's one in the resources page (https://www.speedrun.com/mc/resources)

idk what to say i think that @kingdinocharge covered it all in a few words and this was just a complete waste of time but who actually cares lmao

The in game timer doesn't seem to work when I go on 1.17, it just stays at 0.00 and doesn't update when I pause. Any idea why?

the igt doesnt work for 1.17

however you can use another type of igt that works with 1.14+ and 1.17
