CanadaIf im not mistaken, that motion blur is NOT a part of Vanilla Minecraft, unless you edited the video. Therefore, u could be using a mod in which case is not allowed in speedrunning in the first place.
When toggling and looking around, your IGT starts, however, ur RTA is allowed to remain at 0 for up to 1 second. However, this doesn't matter too much anyways since everything is timed in IGT anyways. You're allowed to do it and start ur RTA timer later, but there's no point in doing so anwyays.
No, only server op needs to record. Check category rules for more information
the answer is strictly no. Read mod rules in the game rules section
AA = all advancements RSG = random seed glitchless
(both are speedrun categories)
note: join discord listed to the left of the src page, for more details on abbreviations and check out the faq
Streamlabs OBS is user friendly but EATS AWAY at CPU usage. DO NOT USE STREAMLABS if u do not have a good pc.
Otherwise... yes it is completely based on your opinion
there are currently two timers you can use that are automatic, One of which is the livesplit timer, and the other is the Duncan Timer.
I don't have the livesplit timer link, but here's the duncan timer link.
Automatic Minecraft Timer: https://github.com/DuncanRL/AutomaticMinecraftTimer/releases
This is a completely standalone timer, meaning you don't need livesplit or anything.
All you need is to download AutoMCTimer.exe and run it.
Windows will probably tell you it's a virus. Don't worry about that; just click more info and then "run anyway".
Press Esc with the program open to access the options.
If you want to still use the livesplit tkmer, join the discord and they will be more than happy to send the link
If im gonna be really honest with you, if your main goal is to just "get good", ur gonna get frustrated VERY easily at how daunting this game can be. Instead, focus more on the effort that you put into the game yourself and dont go by other's standards. You'll find much more sucess if ur motive is to speedrun to get a better time for URSELF and not to show others how good you are.

@Lord_Nightmare I have to heavily disagree with this response. It is very easy to know if someone is using a calculator in a run or not. It's not too hard to tell if someone is using a calculator or not, or if they are using a pen and paper. While you may be unable to 100% guarantee, a 99% chance is proper enough to conclude they are using a calculator.
To use a calculator, a pause needs to take place. For example, someone may pause the game midrun to calculate the angle. It's blatantly obvious if they are pausing randomly in the middle of the run to use a calculator. There are however certain cases in which people may actually have to do something irl, like for example, their parents ask them to do something. This makes the run SUSPICIOUS but does not confirm that the runner is actually using a calculator. To confirm it, we need to look at the rest of the triangulation. Someone who is using a calculator would NOT stay on the same line, since they need to make 2 eye throws to properly use the calculator. Based on this, we can confirm that anyone that strays off the line heavily and makes an eye throw BEFORE reaching minimum stronghold distance is suspicious. Again, we can't confirm yet. The final way to know is how they make their final triangulations. When the second throw is made, the calculation begins and a pause is 100% necessary to enter in all the coords. Someone from chat can NOT tell you the coords nor can someone irl because how are they going to message you? Discord is an option on a second monitor, but hear this, once you know the coords, how are you supposed to make it look like you found the stronghold yourself? This is where a verifier can conclude whether a calculator is used or not. You still need to make final triangulations if you want to be seriously legitimate. No runner would randomly dig down without being somewhat sure of their location. Especially when using f3, ur more than sure to dig down into the staircase with 44 and all that. With that being said, I doubt verifiers will be looking seriously for calculator usage unless a top time is achieved.
How can you differentiate between a pencil and calculator? Pretty easy tbh, just ask them to show work, if they can't provide it, they're clearly using a calculator.
As a conclusion:
- There are many things a runner will do suspiciously when using a calculator
- easy to differentiate between pencil and calculator
- if you still use a calculator, live with this guilt that u cheated :)
TL:DR You absolutely can not make a run NOT look suspicious without using a calculator.
Obviously, the mods wouldn't tell that to us. Otherwise, everyone would be splicing around
@BadMethod , well that would depend on how much and how long you study bastions... as well as your own learning habits. We can't determine how long it takes for you to memorize something, but we can offer suggestions how you can study bastions.
First of all, join the discord. It's probably the number one thing to do whenever you need help, probably much better than forums.
Next, watch T_Wagz video on bastions and how to properly loot them. Some runners who are known for quick bastion looting includes Fyroah and Davie, so you should check them on twitch and catch one of their streams to learn further.
Finally, get on Minecraft and practice urself, there are also many modpacks that can help you with bastion training. You can find them on the speedrunning discord when you ask around
changing fov isn't a mod, it's changeable in vanilla. However, going something below or beyond the fov given in vanilla, is a mod
read mod rules in the game rules section for optifine. Badlion is banned.
@Spotlessness ... where did you get that from? Sorry, but I highly doubt moderators would do that for a 35 time randomly
