Hi I'm new!

Has there been discussion of an ethical Minecraft category? Where you can't do things like loot villager chests, blow up their houses, or kill villagers and iron golems? Or a vegetarian subcategory, where you also can't attack neutral mobs?

I was thinking of requesting it but I wanted to see if it had already been discussed and didn't work for some reason. I struck out searching the forums.

day 6969 of telling people forums r not used for suggesting categories BibleThump. Hi speed, can u give a 'no' again?

no

Not sure if this would be that different from normal runs. The only real difference this would make is smelting iron instead of killing the golem, and narrowing 1.14 down to not being able to use savillages for wood. Pretty sure that there have been many World Records that have been vegetarian, due to the accessibility of bread in newer versions. Basically, I don't think people would run this, as it's only a slight hindrance to the normal path of a run, and doesn't offer many advantages or disadvantages to running this over the main category.

Also don't use forums for this stuff

I think the reason everyone keeps asking this question in the wrong place is that wherever this rule is written, it's not showing up when you go to the obvious places: Forums -> Introduction, Games -> Minecraft -> Minecraft Speedrunning Questions Thread, etc.

I'm just saying. If it was only me who did it, then I can't read instructions. But if this problem has been going on for 6969 days, it could be the information isn't being communicated as well as it could. You should only try to fix it if it bothers you though.

I couldn't find any runs near the top that didn't kill golems, take villager beds, and break their houses. Which ones should I be looking at? It seems like if they didn't rely on looting villages, then seeds that spawn far from any village at all would be as good as one near a village. It's not like a lot of them trade with the villagers, the seem to mostly take stuff. But I haven't watched them all.

I'm not criticizing. It's a game and it's fine. I'm only curious what a run that met those criteria would look like.

No.

Also as Pooply said, day 6969 of people suggesting categories here, when they shouldn't be suggested here. Take this to the discord or some other platform for talking about it.

I keep searching and searching for any notice telling people that. Because that would be the normal thing to do. By all appearances, you want them to suggest categories here so you can bite them when they do. I guess you enjoy it. Have fun with that, I guess.
