Couriway – Using a Random Number Generator to Speedrun Minecraft

Yo everyone what’s going on curryway here and in this video i’m doing something a little bit different for this intro as you can see you can actually you can see me i’m here hi hello we’re going to be doing something really cool today we are going to be speed running

A random number just completely random we’re gonna do this three times we’re gonna give three different numbers and that’s gonna allow me to view three different seeds and then we’ll pick the one that we wanna speed run based on how good it is the reason i’m doing three is i feel

Like that’s not too many that the seeds just gonna be like godly but i didn’t want to do just one in case the seat is like absolutely like puts me in a magma ravine and there’s nothing for like 500 blocks in another so this should give me something hopefully i’m hoping

So we’re gonna put in this random number generator how many random numbers we want to do three minimum value is gonna be zero and the maximum value is going to be 100 000. that’s what we’re going to do you can see that i haven’t done this already it’s just

A thousand random numbers i haven’t done it so here we go our three numbers are going to be calculate eighty four thousand two hundred seven forty seven thousand eight hundred and forty seven and eighty thousand five hundred 553. so those are the seeds we’re going to be

Trying we’re going to take a look at all of them now and i’ll see you within minecraft in just a second alrighty so here we are within minecraft we’re going to create a new world uh i will not call it anything for the time being and we’re gonna put in the

First seed 84 207 let’s see what we get honestly i’m hoping that one of these seeds just gives me something i don’t care how i have to do it i don’t care if it’s ocean i don’t care if it’s a village just give me something that’s kind of playable here

Not the best it doesn’t look like we could enter there either unfortunately but there is ravine that’s good this cave actually goes all the way down to lava wait what that’s nuts okay so that’s we have a really easy enter then that’s actually really nice i don’t really have to worry about

Anything else i just kind of want to see the nether now that we know that we have an entry and then we can worry about routing this in a second but let’s see if there’s anything good here so if you’re familiar with my speedruns on twitch twitch.tv curryway daily minecraft speed on live

Streams you might notice that my fov is a bit large here and that’s to kind of see things a bit easier in the nether and it looks like we are seeing nothing absolutely nothing here hold on let’s turn this back down this doesn’t look too far either yeah

It’s only like 200 blocks okay and it is a housing bastion which is this is a beautiful housing bastion this is actually really really good um so that’s great now if i was a housing bastion then i would go this way and there’s another bastion that’s actually pretty funny and this is

Another housing but this is a what speed owners call lava housing because there’s you know well there’s lava um so you can see this is actually going to go all the way down which is really unfortunate we don’t want to do that let me see if i can find the fortress

And i’ll be right back so there actually is a fortress here um it’s 100 200 that would be this way and this way and boom there it is there’s the portal this is actually not a bet this is the first seed we’re looking at too dude what this is actually really good

And then i would make my portal around here-ish so let’s just see if this is good obviously it’s gonna be a set-seed run anyway so this really isn’t that important but just kind of curious what i’m what i’m looking at here this is where i would put it okay so it’s pretty close

So we’d have to move this portal more down this way so if we were to use this seed we’d put our portal right about here and this is going to put us basically right next to the stronghold that’s funny there’s another ruined portal there and if i just go in spectator we should

See that this thing is like yeah directly beneath us almost and it’s a two eye so that actually means i can leave with five blaze rods which is a bit of a time save in these runs something to definitely keep in mind and we’d be digging down it looks like

Right on the shoreline by the gravel most likely um that would probably be my indicator right in that corner block so this seat is actually really good we’re going to take a look at the other two and if this is the one that we end up going with the routing will be pretty

Simple and also a village that doesn’t really matter but let’s go check out seeds number two and three so this was seed number one that we just did we are gonna load up seed number two forty seven thousand eight hundred and forty seven and see what we come up with the first seed

Was actually really good i don’t know if we’re gonna find anything that’s even close to that honestly like for a randomly generated seed that was actually really nice we had all the structures we needed oh oh okay well let’s see what we can do here if this is

Playable at all looks like we have an ocean that would be our key to victory here and there’s also a lava pool okay that’s actually pretty solid let’s see if there’s a shipwreck so the closest shipwreck actually seems to be the way of this lava pool which is really awesome now i’m hoping

That this is a good shipwreck and i’m not just about to get you baited here it should be like right here oh wow i can’t see and it’s a bad shipwreck so that’s actually really unfortunate was doing some exploring and found this jungle temple whoa i didn’t see this though and that’s

A wait no way i actually didn’t see this when i was about to start recording um let’s see if there’s anything viable in here oh i went on the wrong side that’s uh i’m a good speedrunner anything five six gold is not really what i’m after there and then

I would go this way for the second chest and it’s one piece of iron so unfortunately i don’t really see how the seat is gonna work out let’s just check the nether really fast to make sure we’re not missing out on anything but i think the first seat is honestly

Much better than this one i might have spoken too soon i see a fortress here which is great and these coordinates actually look really really good for some random travel and wherever we you know put our portal anyway we just need to figure out if there is gonna be a bastion anywhere else

Looks like there is it one very far that way one very far that way and one very far the same one so i i don’t think this is this is the seed i like the other seed much better because we i think it would just be faster in general because we’d have to

Go to that blade spawner and then make our way all the way to the bastion through this somehow i don’t think that’s reasonable so so far seed number one is the winner let’s check out seed number three all right copied ready to go seed 80

553 like i said the first sea we had was really really good so i’m not surprised that we haven’t found something that isn’t better oh my god another ruined portal at the start that’s actually so funny that both of the seeds that it’s the same kind of portal too

And there’s a mushroom what is happening two obsidian and a protection one gold boots really always nice to get gold armor on the start but i don’t know how useful that would be but there’s a full ship and a mushroom biome and can i

Enter here oh my god i was gonna say if i could enter here that seed would be ridiculous even if i can enter here oh is this real lava so if you’re not familiar with ocean ravines sometimes lava can be fake this looks pretty fake

And yeah you can see what i mean now we could go to one of these lava pools i would prefer to have it look a bit more realistic and not just dig to a lava pool but we can do a quick little check for that so i also just spotted a monument

Out here and it looks like there’s a a place to enter so we could go boat to monument well actually you know what you know what is really important in these type of things we should just double check i’m assuming that we’re going to get enough iron in

This boat we should double check that we would and yes we’d actually get 13 which is an awesome amount of iron and we would get some carrots too which would be really good if we’re going for a monument here so this seed actually looks really promising and it’s kind of cool that

There’s a mushroom biome too really interesting start on all of these and we’d also have the gold armor which would be nice so let’s say i’m assuming there’s not another ravine that’s even closer right yeah no so we’d enter here there’s another what double mushroom biome that’s insane anyway

Let’s enter in the seed or enter in this nether i should say so this is definitely real lava yeah you can see that’s what i mean by reel and fake lava by the way it’s just kind of is there lava underneath these blocks so if we enter the nether

Here we’re gonna spawn in a crimson which is really really good for a monument type run and then we’re gonna hop through this wall can we find anything of note i just checked all the quadrants and it’s unfortunately a bit of a hike to get to any fortress at all and that’s just

Really unfortunate this could have been a crazy seed but it also kind of seems like i’m kind of boxed in here with this portal placement so it doesn’t seem like it was the end of the world anyway the only way i could have got out i

I think is here and if we kept going this way we would have a bastion i’m guessing but i think it i think it’d just be too much i think it would take too long to get here and i don’t think the extra regional would be worth it yeah this is a bridge

Anyway so monument is pretty useless when it comes to a bridge bastion hey we got an achievement and then the fortress would be all the way out this way so i think we’re going to make the right call here i think we’re going to go with the first seed i hope you

Enjoyed the process behind this i checked the comments on the last video and a lot of you seem to really like the routing process so hey why not do it three times in one video even though this is a much shorter version so i’m gonna figure out the tweaks that

I need to make to the first route and then we are gonna speed run it so enjoy the speed run everyone so after all that routing it’s time to get into the run now something you’re gonna notice that’s pretty funny is i completely missed a dungeon a mob spawner on this first

Seat and that’s actually gonna be so crucial to us getting anything we need on the seat i was absolutely blown away it was basic it was i think my first attempt of running the seed and i saw it and i was like wait what is there anything good in there

And i will just let you see what’s in there for yourself i’m not gonna spoil it any further than i already have but my goodness i was extremely happy that i found it we’re gonna do a nice bit of parkour here on the cave or the ravine i should say

Side and then we’re gonna use our gold pick to mine the cobble or the stone into cobble and that’s gonna give us a lot of building blocks one to make a furnace two to get an axe and three to build over to this dungeon you can see it right now and guess what

Guess what for anyone watching we are actually not gonna need a furnace because we get three iron right there and we get four more iron we get seven so we’re actually just going to use this cobblestone to build back up to the top but that mob spawner was

Absolutely crucial to this run and made the pace so much faster we only need the stone the cobblestone to make our stone axe and then we have iron for an iron shovel a pickaxe and then since we already have a flute and steel we have enough for a bucket

To finish that all off so really really nice there now we’re just gonna cut down some wood since we are doing a bastion and since there are no villages here we’re going to need that wood to turn into beds later on you all know this you have been watching me

I’m hoping that you know these things at this point but i’m going to explain it as much as i can because i always want to help new people out who are joining and not as familiar with speedrun strategies so this will be something you probably see a lot

Now one thing that’s also really cool about having a ruined portal at the start is me getting a golden apple that’s huge just having food like that early on is really nice but we are gonna need more food than that for the rest of the run so we’re gonna

Kill some cows right we got some animals up here there’s something in minecraft called natural generation that basically means that the same animals spawn in the same spot at the start of a world every single time so every time i reset this world i knew i was gonna have cows

I knew i was gonna have chickens and a cool little speed running trick that i really like is that if you just light a chicken on fire you don’t have to hit it again it’s just gonna end up dying it doesn’t have enough health so while these chickens are

Burning i can kill a cow and then go back and pick up all the cooked chicken so really really cool strat that i like doing when i’m cooking food and doing a a structuralist run kind of like this and now we’re gonna do a huge water bucket mlg

Down to the bottom of this cave get to our lava source that we scouted out earlier and i think that is really cool the start of the seat is actually kind of sick i have never done a run i don’t believe in a set seed that included a dungeon before

So really cool that i unintentionally found one that did using this random number generator as a world so we’re gonna make our portal here and then we’re gonna start our way to the bastion another thing that is really good with grabbing a bunch of wood in the beginning is obviously we’re not gonna

Need all of that wood for the beds right like that would just be crazy we don’t need like 25 30 beds we’re going to use a lot of this wood in the soul sand valley and just kind of as blocks in general because it just makes it easier to

Travel across the souls end as you can see what you can do is you can place blocks on top of the soul sand and it allows you to not get slowed down so really awesome there i do a little bit of a mistake there but it’s totally okay you know what happens

To the best of us right build up more with some blocks we’re gonna head all the way to this bastion it’s not too far we’re on really good pace too the seat in general actually was ended up being a lot faster than i originally thought it

Was gonna be so i was super happy about that and this was by far the best pace that i was on in any run too so just goes to show that the more you practice the more more more it ends up working out in your favor i stopped to grab mushrooms here this

Was kind of a safety strategy i don’t think i needed them for this run and i don’t think i end up using them but depending on the amount of food that i get from cows and chickens and stuff i like to grab the mushrooms here because i can grab brown

Mushrooms later on and that allows me to make mushroom soup if i’m running low on food but i don’t think that ended up happening in this run yeah i have six steak and three chicken i and the golden apple still so i am completely chilling

Now as we get closer to sebastian i want to talk to you about a new route that has been made for housing bastions it is called the manhunt route it is made by extremely talented speedrunner named fyro he is like the prodigy in our community absolutely love him go check out his

Channel in the switch linked in the description he’s a super smart kid when it comes to this stuff so definitely go check him out show him some love i’ll leave a link to the manhunt route in general in the description too spyro is absolutely awesome so basically what happens is you break this

Middle chest and you get a bunch of piglet angry at you like you can see and then this allows me to get so many piglet in one block so i’m gonna build up here i’m gonna break that block to get up and then the piglens are able to get up

Once i break that block i can close them off dig down on top of the gold break one more block place a block over my head and now i have a hole here to throw all this gold into this is much more of an advanced route for housing but it is

Extremely fast and at the time of recording this i actually had a run on stream today or for yesterday for the people watching this on the day this video goes out where i actually left the bastion on sub like 12 pace actually insane run i think i actually leave this bastion

Basically the same time as i left in an actual random seed so that’s how good this route is what i’m gonna do now is sometimes you can grab this chest beforehand but i like to do it after so i don’t waste time while the piglets are trading

I’m able to put on a chest plate give the piglets some more gold and the only thing about this route is that you really have to manage your inventory which is something that i’m still struggling with but you can see i’m getting pearls here i’m getting my string i’m looking good

I’m gonna build up here and i pick up more pearls so i know i’m chilling i think they can throw me one more trade too which is really nice yeah they do so i have 22 pearls totally set there i know i have enough string i see 64 and

53 i’m totally chilling on string and i know i have my obsidian from the chest so we are leaving this bastion yeah i actually left i have to bash it on a random seed faster than this absolutely insane anyway um now we’re gonna start purling

On over to the fortress and this was the coolest part of the run these pearls were crucial because i wanted to do it in as little pearl throws as possible so i didn’t have to rely on crazy good trades from the bastion so we’re gonna get all the way to the

Fortress in five pearl throws from here which is crazy so we threw one already now we’re going to throw a second one onto that island very long throw so that’s our second throw and now we’re going to throw another one across this entire lava lake and remember i’m doing this right now

Without any fire resistance because i only have one potion and i want to save it for the blaze spawner so we’re playing super safe here and also for anyone in the comment section here’s where we grab the brown mushrooms by the way but for anyone in the comments section

You can see i kept pigstep in my inventory the whole time in this run this time i kept pig step in you guys got to see a run where i completed it with pig step in my inventory which is really cool i got it from the breaking the first chest but that was

Our fourth portal throw and now or maybe maybe i come here in six because i i could throw like an extra one i don’t remember but point is this was routed extremely extremely well i had to be super super precise with my pro throws because i wanted that to be cool

And we start off two for two from the blaze spawner which is great and since i’m able to see both blaze spawners here what i decided to do is activate this first one and i get like four or three spawns three for three three four four and i believe i go four

For five here yeah which is crazy i remember in the routing we already saw it’s a two eye so i only need one more blaze rod here which is really nice i decided to play it safe with these um wither skeletons i did not want to deal with them at all

So i was like you know what i am going to knock you off the edge thank you very much and activate this second blade spawner so we are looking so good here it’s only the 7 30 mark absolutely crazy pace with the blaze raw drops we’re getting

And i think this one actually drops yeah five and i’m leaving look at how fast that fortress split was absolutely insane and now we’re gonna pearl to where we are gonna be building our portal almost falling in that hole i actually did that on a run and it killed it it

Was very unfortunate but we are going to throw i think two more pearl throws here to get to where we need to build our portal which is really good and yeah this this run in general i loved i loved routing this this i think this seed i think had the best pearl spots

For this run i actually got a little bit confused here on where i needed to build my portal i was like oh i don’t remember the chords i don’t remember the chords so i pull it up here for a second and i’m like oh wait no it’s more this way

I remember the chords where i needed to go i throw the pearl and we are going to build our portal on the spot so really nice this is at 8 20. so crazy pace even for a set c run this is really really good the seat ended up being a

Lot better than i thought so really happy i was able to make it work and remember we got it from a random number generator nothing nothing crazy no crazy name just three random numbers we chose the best seed and we’re digging down at like sub 12 pace which is awesome so super

Happy with all that and we have you know remember we have a ton of string i could make uh respawn anchors if i wanted to i see some people in the comments sometimes kind of get confused like why i craft respawn anchors so respawn anchors kind of work like

Beds where if you right click them in the nether or or if you right-click them in the end excuse me they blow up so that you can use them like beds to damage the dragon and it’s really good if you don’t have enough beds i personally only like doing it when i

Don’t have enough beds and by the way this end for some reason look at the sky color that’s not normal if anyone wants to comment why this happened feel free to let me know because i honestly don’t know i even asked in my discord and people had like no idea why this

Happened it had never happened in any other previous run it’s never happened to me before this and it actually screws me up on the one cycle which you’ll see but i was i was very confused this one cycle in general is extremely weird i’ll talk about that later uh when i

Actually do it but yeah that was uh that was the route that was the run i hope you enjoyed this this was really cool i thought he was perching there but it was actually a fake but like i said this seed was super cool i’m glad we got to

Do a random number generator thing i actually took this idea from my discord it was a suggestion to my discord so if you have any suggestions check out the discord leave a comment leave anything i’m open to a bunch of video ideas i got a really

Cool one actually that i want to work on next um some a random see glitchless player rolled what i believe is like the best seed ever and i really want to do a comparison video on like what it’s like to run a seed once versus running

The seed like a hundred times to see how much more precise you get in a run so i think that would be really really cool for a video i think that’s what my next video idea is gonna be i’m really excited about that one but yeah not much out to talk about pig

Step remember is still in my inventory i decided to keep that and i’ll let me in the moment do the rest i hope you enjoy the one cycle everyone thanks so much for watching remember to leave a like and subscribe if you haven’t already i’ll see you all next time enjoy this

Dude what did i do on that what the heck happened there was an enderman mad at me and i like almost screwed it up and that was almost really bad and this is gonna be sub 11 though 10 48 and i just like cut out of the entire end screen but okay

Ggs i’ll take it holy
