Recording works fine. Streaming is still the best and least sus, though.

Put this in as a new category request not a forum post

That’s such an arbitrary distinction, though. What if I sat in a hole mining a cobblestone generator with my left click taped down?

Fair enough

@Cubing_Cinematics let’s just be honest, nobody is gonna run 1.17

Tbh I don’t understand what’s with all this fuss about texturepacks. I used to want to use my own texturepack but eventually realised that using vanilla textures just makes life easier for everyone, including yourself.

Nope, no other mods are allowed for now. The only place where the “no advantages” rule applies is resource packs, not mods.

Zooming was never allowed regardless of what mod you use and which version

Yes. In fact, unless you don’t want to do an f3 run, it’s almost necessary to do so, otherwise you’re gonna have a bad time.

Tbh just buy a new cheap computer and leave it running with mc open doing the same RSG run with you standing in a hole for like a week or something unbeatable

There are definitely top runners who use calculators (until it was banned). lackingtoast and KiRyuKoe are good examples. Also, calculators are a lot easier to use than you think. For Cudduw’s ThrowPro, for example, you don’t need to type anything in, you just do F3+C and it helps you do the calculation instantly. Also a reminder that pausing the game doesn’t contribute to IGT.

It depends on the run. I believe saving and quitting is allowed for an AA run. However I don’t think you can do any of these for say, and RSG run. Pausing is allowed, but the recording must continue - and it’s also sus, to say the least.

Timers are recommended but not necessary in any run, the mods will retime some runs manually if they’re high up in their category.

True, I just felt like making a written guide for the hell of it

I’m not completely sure, but I think your best course of action is to get on discord and ping one of the mods for help. Don’t worry, they won’t eat you :)

It counts as a glitch. Anything that is a glitch and not stated in the rules as an accepted glitchless run glitch is not allowed.

In the ideal scenario:

1. Find a magma block pattern in the following shape: exactly 2 blocks (and no more) right beside each other, with another 3rd block adjacent to one of those 2 blocks at a right angle to the 2 blocks.

2. Break the third block. Assuming the ravine is deep enough (which ideally it should be), the block below this magma block should turn into obsidian. Place a door on top of this obsidian and stand inside this door’s air column.

3. You should be facing one of the 2 magma blocks. Place a block (or a door) on the direct opposite side of the magma block from where you are standing. Then, directly next to this block or door, place a door (or a two block high column). Ensure that you place this adjacent to the second of the 2 magma blocks (which you do not directly face, but rather diagonally.)

4. Place a block on top of the magma block directly in front of you. This new block should be directly in your face. Then, mine the magma block below. This should expose lava without converting it to obsidian.

5. Empty your water bucket into the water around you. Using your empty bucket, pick up the lava directly in front of you, then place it one block diagonally to the side. It should turn instantly to obsidian.

6. Pick up the block of lava adjacent to the first lava source. It should be the lava that is under the second magma block that you are not facing. Then, place it on the opposite side of the 2 magma blocks from where you placed the first lava block.

7. You should now be facing what appears to be a lava flow. Pick up the lava behind the lava flow (two blocks directly in front of you), and place it on the front of the top block of the two block high column (or door) diagonally opposite you, which you placed earlier.

8. Having taken the lava source 2 blocks in front of you, now take the lava source block to the side of that lava source block. Hence, the four lava blocks you took should form a perfect square, with half of the square comprising the lava blocks directly under the two magma blocks. Take this 4th lava block and place it adjacent to the 3rd block, forming a 2 block high “ring” of obsidian underwater.

9. Break the magma block in front of you and the magma block to the side of that magma block. Water should flow in and leave cobblestone blocks. Break those cobblestone blocks, then pick up the water source block diagonally opposite you. What you are left with is your nicely casted portal, which you can light up and go inside.

Occasionally, you may come across a ravine that isn’t deep enough. In those cases, you must learn to improvise and think on your feet. This usually involves breaking the two stone blocks at the base of the portal and transferring lava to those blocks before allowing water to cast the portal.

I hope this helps, and good luck speedrunning!

How so Luke? Streamlabs is much more optimised for streaming than OBS. Much more options. A whole bunch of top streamers use Streamlabs, I don’t know of anyone relevant who uses plain OBS for streams.

1. Use OBS for recording, and Streamlabs OBS for streaming. They are by far the best and most efficient software you could be using.

2. If you were streaming when the run happened, you can submit the twitch vod I believe. Otherwise, the failsafe option would be to upload a full video of the run to YouTube and submit the YouTube video link.

Yes you can. It’s not very fast though, I’d recommend you learn to craft using hotkeys and muscle memorise important crafting recipes you need in a speedrun like tools, bucket, barrels, boats, doors, etc.

I’d suggest sticking to vanilla textures, it makes everyone’s lives easier
