Do you need actual Java Edition, as like with a legit account, in order to speedrun this category? Because I got bedrock edition in 2016 and only about a year ago I came across TLauncher. I always refuse to buy legit Java Edition because I live in Canada and it's $35 for me, which I don't think it's worth it.

To summerize, do you need a premium account in order to be on the leaderboards or can people use a cracked version? (Like me)

@NileyRidingus I checked, it says the current world record is 2:31.400. Last time I remember the world record was a 1:45 (in game time btw). I'm still confused

What happened to the runs from 1.9-1.13 in Set Seed Glitched category that have gotten sub 2 runs?? Like the ones where people do a duplication glitch a bunch of times and in the end, place an end crystal on the bedrock platform to not spawn in the dragon? Did they remove those runs because I don't see them on the leaderboards?

It's literally $35 for me since I live in Canada, which I do NOT think it's worth it -_-

I have a resource pack that makes the Bedrock Edition top chat appear like the Java Edition bottom chat. Should I take it off when speedrunning? Here is the pack if you would like to see (I use the 2nd one from the top listed here): https://www.mediafire.com/folder/rwbusjfq7wdb8/Bottom+Chat

ok

ok

Fair enough

Oh ok. Will this work with a splash potion too?

Maybe like send me a video on streamable.com?

The first video I saw on how to one-cycle the dragon involves a bow and arrow, which you use to shoot at the dragon's head to deal triple damage. However, I've noticed that in these speedruns, they use a pearl or a fire res splash pot instead, and I've tried to do it myself, but when I throw the ender pearl at the dragon's head, I don't teleport to the dragon and instead the ender pearl teleports me to some land in the end. Where exactly am I supposed to throw the pearl/splash pot to get the same effect as the bow and arrow? Like, on the neck and to the right, or what?

@smitch Got it thanks! I've seen someone else's run where they die to bed bombs in the fountain before it warped them to the credits, so I just wanted some clarification.

If we die in the bedrock area in the middle of the end, before it takes you to the credits, is this allowed or will my run get rejected?

Got it, thanks! I might do a first ever minecraft 1.17 glitched run in the future then!

1. Are mod clients, like the Onix Client, banned for use in speedruns?
2. Would this duplication glitch (https://streamable.com/zoon8k) be allowed for 1.16/1.17 glitched runs?
