for the all advancements run in 1.14 it would be very usefull to use the book duplication glitch/chunk memory overload glitch. would it be ok to copy and paste the pages from a document into the game or is it required to fully type it all out yourself in game?

is gamma higher than 1 considered cheating? i mean nobody talked about this.

Is there reason you don't use latest patch game? Majority runners seems to use 1.7. in Any% Glitchless Random seed and 1.8 in Any% Glitchless Set seed.

@Wilsoon:

  • the PVP change of 1.9+, is better the PVP of before than 1.9
  • the seed; this is a coincident, the best world/seed to run a set seed is only aviable in 1 version
  • the glitches if it is a glitches category, are different in different versions lul lol
  • nostalgie lmao xd etc.

How can I get the "Diamonds to you" achievments if I am in 1 player mode and I cant give diamonds to another player?

@KilleDragon You have to give it to a zombie, some zombies can pick up items and some can't, the chance of finding zombies that can pick up items is bigger the harder the difficulty is.

I just started getting into Minecraft Speedrunning, and I'm having a lot of trouble with doing the Ender Dragon fight with beds. Is there a good way to practice that? Thanks!

@Heronix to practice, create new worlds with creative and cheats, to create the portal and use " /gamemode 0 " to be in survival mode lul lol lmao. Also, if you put with tricks " /summon enderdragon " , you create a new enderdragon :) :D xd

I just started speedrunning with a set seed. Iam doing fine in the overworld and iam very quick in the end. But the end has a complete different tower layout every time... (height and possition) is there a way to prevent this or influence how tall the towers are getting generated? Or do i just have to get lucky? (mc version 1.8.9)

Best regards :)

@Ukulele Im not 100% sure, but I realy think that it cant be manipulated, and probably is only luck and improvisation, if you look in the WR; you can practice multiples times in general the aim and to get destroyed with it the things that throw live to the dragon (i dont know the name of it F xd) and all of that, but, in a SpeedRun, you reach to the end and you simply start to break it.

Is aleatory, but I think is not very difference of luck :) :D , simply be well

Quick question. I downloaded a game timer from the resources tab and I'm wondering if I can sync it with LiveSplit to automatically start the time when I start

Basque Country

@Lemongrass14 only if you start the time with the same button you start the run, witch is probably strange to do it, so I think nope, sorry

Couple of questions. First, I can't seem to make the ingame timer work. Is there a tutorial vid? Also, all rsg speedruns seem to be done on 1.7.2 - why?

Basque Country

@charlielutra24

  1. The in game time is basicaly the same time (seconds, minutes, hours, etc.) than in real time, the only difference is that it only count the time you are indo playtime; I mean, for example, for any any%, you take the real time and you cut the time you have to wait during the load-transition-time to load the world when you enter to the nether, you out of the nether and you enter to the end; If you have to wait, for example, 5 seconds without can do nothing when the nether is loading, another 3 outing of the nether and another 1 entering to the end, you have an in-game-time 9 seconds lower/better than with in-real-time; You have to look for it correctly, because there is more priority in the leaderboard for the in-game-time than for the in-real-time; Basicaly, with it, is more fair for all, because there are people that have slower computers and have to wait more than another people that load all in 0,1 seconds (lul) :) :D

  2. The versions of the better seeds to play it is completly aleatory; the thing is that the same seed number had no the same world in 1.7.2 than in 1.8, for example; I mean, the world they probably play it to do the best times only can be played in 1.7.2 , and nope in 1.8 or 1.6 or any other version (inclusive subversions maybe Im not sure about of it lol); So, basicaly, is pure coincidence to the best world only been playable in 1.7.2 , but is the only version you can play it

I hope this information is usefull ;) :D

Ps: yeah I like to write biblies about what I know, I like and I think, ok? Is entretaining :D xd

Hi, some questions:

Is the time in the ESC/Pause screen counted to the playthrough time in Any% Random Seed Glitchless? Or could i for example stop the run by pressing ESC, get myself something to eat and than go on later?

2nd Question: Is it allowed to use the ESC-Menu for "Freezing the game": For example the ender-dragon kicks you in the air and you just press ESC to freeze the game and prepare you for "impact" / water bucket.

3rd Question: Could somebody explain me which time actually counts? - i stop my games on my own, but these aint perfect. (with LiveSplit) Isn't the "time_since_death" variable in the world-file the best option to get the ACTUAL play-time? (if you didn't die)

thanks :)

@PELIRID

  1. No, starting when you do your first IG movement when the time start, if you pause the game with "ESC", the real time continue without stop time, and I think the IGT also doesnt stop until you are in a charge part or if you directly out of the world until you enter again (the real time continue with all of this) Maybe you can out of the game to stop the IGT and then enter to continue it; if you cant do this in glichless (ask mods if is posible), I have the idea of that maybe you can take a trick to get an "infinitely charge transition", which it you never continue before you continue again

  2. In all case, of course you can pause the game with this to take your time to think it if you need, but as well as I say before, this doesnt pause the IGT and the RTA, but you can do it if ou need to prepare to do a water-drop or something like that lmao That yes, if you out completly of the world you are playing to stop a bit the IGT, then when, if you appear in the air, you doesnt get damage of the fall , so that count as a "glitch"; so, if you are in glichless, I think you cant out being in the air By the rest, yes, you can

  3. well, the RTA (real time) count if you coincidently get exatly the same time tan another user (thats way we have miliseconds lmfao jaja xd), but, normaly, the time principlay clasificate you in the leaderboard always is the IGT (in-game-time), in all of minecraft java edition and in the most of the games of speedrun.com And, yeah, can be a problem to stop and continue the time all the time you stop the IGT, the most if you play in the category with gliches (you have to look the WR omg wow), so maybe you have to calculate it exactly after the run; For that last, I always use the lateral button of my mouse with my big finger, so if you are lucky and have it, configurate and prove it, realy, is the best you can do for fast pauses and fast continues

You´re welcome :) :D

Ps: I like write yes xd
