I have a question about trading: Fletcher's prices for the sticks-emeralds trade go way up after he restocks just once (from 32 to 56) and they don't go down even if you buy other items or let him restock. I read that it's because of supply-demand but i've never seen it in speedruns. I'm playing on 1.14.4 with no modes.

Edit: solved! apparently it only happens in the 1st 10 minutes after the world has been generated.

I have a question about rules for OptiFine. Rules don't explicitly ban this feature, but I am unsure as I consider it a relatively big advantage. It's completely turning the fog off, which makes searching through Nether for a Fortress much easier as you can see somewhat around 2 times further. My only question is if it is allowed or not. Thank you for an answer in advance.

@G_Lise710 OptiFine is allowed, although zoom is not. Also your are allowed to use any of the settings (like fog) that come with OptiFine.

Hello Forums!

I'm attempting some 1.14.4 speed runs, but i always get stopped at the villager trading. Whenever i start trading, i know i have enough sticks for what i need, but the villagers always run out of stock too soon. I'm sure that I'm in the right version for optimal speed runs. I checked some speedruns on youtube to make sure that i am doing things right, and the villagers in those videos seemed to have seemingly unlimited trades. I dont know if there is a trick to getting so many trades with villagers, but trading is always the wall i cant get past in a lot of my runs.

Question: I was browsing around on youtube and I found a video by Ibxtoycat by the name of: "Tested: Can You Beat Minecraft With NO ITEMS? (Somehow, YES!)"

This is a video featuring a seed that has a full end portal close by to spawn, so their is no need for any Blaze farming or Enderman farming in the run. wouldn't this be a good set seed for a run? just thought I would ask.

Inaudible, the 1.9+ SS and SSG runs do use a seed with a full end portal. In pre-1.9 runs, if all the ender eyes are already in the portal, it remains unlit and the world is a softlock.

Thank you for the reply! guess I missed the routing page lol.

Will there be 3 categories after 1.16 comes out as it will make the runs dramatically quicker? For example Pre 1.9 1.9 to 1.15.2 1.16+

Is there an easy way to record/stream runs. my computer cant handle streaming on streamlabs obs and running minecraft at the same time.

For streaming and recording, I personally use Mirillis Action!. It's not free, but it runs better than streamlabs obs for me.

are there any better free options that you know of?

lower your fps to 30 (both in game and in OBS), and use default window size are two options you can take.

That helped a lot, thank you.

@Eff0r4 still to be decided. I think the mods are going to vote on it. Chances are it will be split.

My question: when my speedrun is verified? :D

@Kun_Xd_ you’ll have to wait patiently because there are many other runs being verified.

@Kun_Xd_ a clasical question :) Depending of the situation and of the time and active mods etc. In all case, what is sure is that tecnicaly is speedrun.com there is a limit for any run verification of 3 weeks, so dont worry about of that i all case, yeah, boring to wait lol, i also have runs that spend like 18 days or something like that to be verificated Probably they have a lot of runs and of course other work and social live

Is a timer on screen required?

In the rules it says it is not, but it would greatly help the moderators analyze and time your run.

Yeah, is not needed And, in all case, they tecnicaly always retime the run to comprove it
