Who Holds the Minecraft Speedrun World Record in 2024?
Apr. 18, 2024Minecraft Java: Speedrun World Record Holder
Drip has been not only extremely lucky with this seed, its structures, and loot but also highly skilled. The run starts off with drip managing to quickly locate the buried treasure, gather wood and blocks, make tools, a bucket, doors, and a boat, create theNether portalin the nearby underwater ravine, and enter the Nether dimension in justone minute and 18 seconds.
His portal then spawns right next to a bastion, where he goes to collect gold blocks to barter with piglins while distracting them with gold ingots. Drip then acquires the ender pearls and strings the piglins have dropped and loots the chest for gold armor, obsidian, and more string. Then he starts heading off towards a Nether fortress seen earlier. Drip then kills some Blazes and acquires blaze rods.
Thanks to a special calculator, he returns to the Overworld and figures out where thestrongholdis. Drip then returns to the Nether to get one more blaze rod. He travels to specific coordinates and makes a new Nether portal, which leads him to a stronghold. He very quickly finds the End portal room and completes it, sohe’s in the End dimension in only 5 minutes and 44 seconds.
Then, he reaches the central End island and prepares the bedrock portal with crying obsidian. After that, he crafts the beds and waits for the Ender Dragon to perch. Once the Dragon is down, drip120 blasts it with several beds and ends the run with a second over 7 minutes!
As you can see from the video above, thechat members didn’t realize what was happeningright before their eyes until the middle of the run!
This incredible world record was even rejected at first. This is because drip120 used a mod that was not allowed. Many speedrunners use mods that simply improve the game’s performance.
The prohibited mod drip used simply prevented crashes from another allowed mod. It did nothing else. The moderators rejected the run because of their rules. However, due to the community vote and further consideration, therun has been verified and placed on the leaderboards.
Speedrunning in the Bedrock edition is different from that in the Java edition. This is mainly because Bedrock players don’t have accessto theF3 debug screen, can spam attack without cooldown, strongholds can generate below villages, and Ender Dragon behaves differently. Moreover, the player spawns only in certain biomes.
That means if the biomes don’t align, theplayer can be spawned hundreds of blocks away from 0,0, which makes them far more likely tofind a villagewith a stronghold below it. Though, there is about a 15% chance of this generation happening, so it’s uncommon.
Lol869 starts off the run and spawns right on top of the blacksmith house in a village and loots it to obtain someobsidian, iron gear and an iron pickaxe. He then gathers materials quickly and starts digging down to see if there is a stronghold underneath. Luckily, there was a stronghold and he was there at 1 minute and 14 second mark.
The speedrunner finds the End portal room soon and builds a Nether portal. He enters the Nether just 1 minute and 53 seconds after the start. The spawn point is right next to a bastion, where lol869 mines gold blocks andbarters with piglinsfor ender pearls. He leaves the bastion with almost two stacks of pearls and travels off to a nearby Nether fortress.
There lol869 gathers 6 blaze rods and heads back to the portal. He quickly makeseyes of ender, fills the End portal and enters the End dimension in just 5 minutes and 56 seconds. Then, he sets up the crying obsidian for the bed blasting method and also deals some damage to the Ender Dragon. Lol869 pillars up and sets lava to the side of the Dragon to slow it down while flying away.
He explodes several beds and kills the Dragon at 6m 36s mark. He does die then, but the portal lights up and the credits roll and he successfully beat the game in only6 minutes and 46 seconds.
A few days after the run, the leaderboard mods decided toreject the run, as it contained a resource pack called Fastest Resets, which is one of the commonly used resources that help players make the in-between-run process faster. Though, moderators thought it could’ve also provided some exploit opportunities that would let the player insert a set seed world. The run was not verified therefore.
However, after almost a year, lol869 set a new world record at the time and the leaderboard moderators decided to verify his first 6:46 run. So, this run was actually the Bedrock world record speedrun for a very long time, but no one knew that. This run is also faster than the Java speedrun, making lol869 the fastest Minecraft player up to date.
