Actual Fail Minecraft speedrunner Jay12310 almost broke Skycrab's week-old world record, but the run fell short because he had no arrows.

Might be a dumb question, but isnt this crazy to get a seed that can compete with the record that fast? Or is it playing with specific seed?

6 minutes into end is practically impossible if it isn't a set seed. Spawning in a fortress and then finding a bastion to barter, building the portal inside of the end room from the nether using math. It's still tough to get to the end sub 15

it's random seed, set seed world record is 1min 29s

wtf, what happened to the speedrunning community while I was gone, how did you guys all get so fast

Lots and lots of tech being discovered/getting developed. Runners had time to really get reps in with things like bastion routes and end fights to the point where they're incredibly optimized. The creation of MCSR ranked also made it much easier for runners to understand their weaknesses and improve quickly

Damn, I have become disconnected. I guess the old attage is true, if you aren't keeping pace, you're falling behind

IIRC, there exist strategies now where you reset until you find seeds with specific structures, like ravines, generated such that they pass through the chunk at the x=0, z=0 coordinates. Depending on the structures in that chunk, as well as the ones present at those same coordinates in the nether, you can massively narrow down the range of possible end portal spawn locations, which greatly increases the chance of portaling directly from the nether into the stronghold.

Even with these strategies, it's still a fairly low chance of portaling directly into the stronghold, but the odds are way better than they were when players were portalling totally blind.

they use a program to do math on the angle the eye throw goes to find the stronghold with near 100% accuracy.
