cubfan135 – I Set a Minecraft World Record

Hello ladies and gentlemen welcome to a speed running video this is a recent speed run that i did on twitch live on twitch twitch.tv slash cupcan135 where we set a world record for obtaining all minerals in the game in the structureless category structureless just means that there’s no shipwrecks no bastions no fortresses

No ruined portals no villages basically it’s just the core vanilla game and yeah we obtained all the minerals uh in a pretty short period of time uh actually a world record uh period of time uh so basically this category i’ll sort of explain as we go what i’m doing but it

Starts out the same as how you typically would in the survival world you know you get wood tools first and then you dig down to get stone tools and then you just have to sort of progress up the tech tree if you will so you have to go

To iron then diamond another right although you don’t have to make the nether right pickaxe you can just you know obtain another right so the materials you need for this category are actually uh 11 minerals so you have to get coal iron gold redstone lapis lazuli diamond emerald quartz netherrite copper

And amethyst uh so of those by far the hardest are the amethyst and the netherright and yeah here you’ll see we’re actually still still like getting wood and gearing up and stuff but uh we’re actually going for amethyst first that’s the sort of strategy i’ve decided to go with here for this speed

Run and because we’re going for amethyst first we wanted to spawn air in ocean which we are and we’re crafting up some some boats and some doors here in the hopes of being able to number one spot an amethyst geode from the ocean uh that’s also why we are currently

Running this in 117 1 and not 118 because in 117 amethyst geos actually spawn a little bit higher up in oceans which makes them a little bit easier to spot so i’m actually going around the ocean right now looking for an amethyst geode and then i also spotted a mountain

Mountain biome just off in the distance there you can see so i’m like great if we find the amethyst geode we can go right over to the mountain biome and that’s where we’ll find some emerald because again remember villages and stuff don’t exist because this is the structuralist category of all minerals so

We have to find a mountain biome to find emeralds at least in 117. so right now we’re just cruising the oceans looking for a amethyst geode they’re pretty distinctive because they have calcite and smooth basalt that show up uh on those uh like on the surface of

The ocean that sort of jut out also got some dolphins following us here i could have jumped out and got the dolphin’s grace which i think i actually do here in a second but yeah dolphin’s grace if you don’t know is actually a little bit faster

Than going by boat so here we go dolphins grace speeds it up a little bit although i didn’t do a good job of like leveling this out so you see i actually come out of the water there which causes us to lose the dolphins grace but luckily i’ve spotted the amethyst

Geodown here again it’s next to a mountain biome so this is fantastic for this category so we’re on a decent uh trajectory here and luckily this geode we actually didn’t have to use our doors to break in typically you’ll use doors to uh yeah create an air pocket and you can

Dig out blocks faster but here we had an opening to the amethyst geode and we find an amethyst that is fully matured and we break it and there we go and with this shard acquired that’s the first mineral right there so that one is now done

The reason we look for them in oceans is because they’re much easier to spot and it’s just essentially random if you uh go to the mountain biome so it makes it more consistent if you get amethyst first from oceans that’s why we’re we’re doing this sort of strategy

Uh next up we’re gonna get coal so coal acquired there coal pretty common resource so you can find it in pretty much any run we’re also going to get a bunch more cobblestone right here just so we have a furnace because we need to smelt up things like copper and iron ore

Potentially gold ore as well and this will help us do that we can also get a couple extra coal for uh animals so we want to try and get some food so that we’re not you know just going only on what food we started with or what

Hunger bars we start we started with so that’s what we’re doing now so now we’re basically climbing into the mountain biome we want to get off the stony shore area make sure we’re into the mountain biome proper so that we can find emeralds and we also find a copper here on the

Mountain so there we go we do still have to smelt that up though but copper has been acquired then we go over here and we get some sheep for some food now we could also if we have enough wool we could make a bed later on for netherrite mining which you’ll see but

I don’t really think bed mining is worth it in this category for another right but there could be some other strategies for ancient debris i should say but there could be some other strategies you can implement here but there we go we got our food we got everything we need

So we’re digging down now and we’re going to start to look for minerals obviously the first thing we’re going to look for is iron we’re also looking for redstone and lapis and emerald and diamonds and also potentially gold but gold can also be acquired in the nether

Which we will see so we’re basically just digging straight down we want to try and get down to diamond level as quickly as possible to get a diamond pickaxe here we find iron right off the bat which is fantastic so obviously going to mine that and we’re

Going to get a couple of iron here because iron is actually quite useful we need it for a bucket and potentially also a flint and steel foot and steel to go to the nether because we have to make another portal to get certain minerals so we make

A couple of furnaces put these down here and what we’re going to do here is we’re going to basically smelt up multiple things at the same time so there’s our copper going in we’re smarting up our food and we’re smelting up some iron and while all those are smelting we don’t

Want to waste any time so we’re going to keep on going down obviously we want to go in the same direction that we saw the mountain biome continued in so we’re going to go this direction and just continue to staircase down here so basically this is just the point where yeah it’s mostly

Mostly just digging down to get more resources and luckily for us we actually encounter a cave here momentarily so there’s more copper as well if we needed it but yeah we find a big cave down there so that’s great k’s are actually much faster to find oars than

Just you know randomly digging through the world so that’s what we wanted to find from the start so there’s our copper ingot copper is now completed fantastic and we’re going to throw away some of the stuff we don’t need of course keep our inventory clear obviously we

Got some food coming this furnace is done already so we’re gonna pick that up we got our iron here we’re gonna go ahead and craft up a pickaxe iron pickaxe because that helps a little bit in terms of mining speed and we also want a bucket so we need a water source

And that way basically with the water source you can make a portal out of a lava pool so that’s what we have that for now so that’s good so we’re going to keep digging down we want to go into this cave here so i see

It’s not too far so i might as well just drop in and obviously with mobs in the cave you got to be a little careful we’re going to also try and get a little bit more iron just because we want to potentially get a flint and steel

Although as you’ll see that may not work out for us because we didn’t stop and mine any gravel uh so yeah we actually went to the nether in a different way uh so yeah now we’re just slaying mobs running through caves looking again for redstone lapis emeralds and diamonds

And i got kind of unlucky here i thought i would see you know lapis or emerald pretty quickly but that was not the case uh instead we ran around here and obviously we get grab this water here which is critical we’re going to make another portal with that in a moment

But yeah still looking around with the water bucket now we can do water drops like that without taking much damage so that’s really nice uh and as we make our way down here you’ll see we first find diamond so kind of a rare thing uh also you’ll

Notice that we ran into a silverfish block which of course we are in a mountain biome so that sometimes is something you’ll run into unfortunately there was like three or four silver fish blocks in very close proximity here they do sometimes spawn in groups so we had

To deal with a couple silverfish a little bit of a time loss but not too bad and we got three diamonds here so that’s fantastic and we got ourselves our lapis lazuli right there as well i come over here and also grab an extra diamond or two

Just like that these are useful so you can make a shovel later on so if you’re in a soul sand valley for instance like in the nether that might come in useful there but there we go diamond pickaxe acquired we’ll need that that’s a necessity for mining the

Ancient debris in the netherlands so that’s why we need that i’ve got a little zombie that’s just chilling here and yeah we basically just need now emerald and redstone from the overworld so again going through these lava pools we see some redstone so that’s fantastic so now the

Last thing we need here is emerald so now we’re desperately searching for emerald and then we can go to the nether i’m also going to craft up or smelt up rather some iron and decide to smelt up the doors here to preserve a little bit of coal

Um but yeah we’re smelting up the iron to get flint and steel and also to get a shield in the meantime i’m looking around looking for a emerald ore emeralds i believe can spawn below level 31 in the overworld in this version so that’s sort of where we’re looking for

What we’re looking for i’m also checking the y level while i’m like looking around here just to make sure we’re in the right area and the right y level so iron is done smelting i come down here we’re going to craft up a shield first so that we’re not

Wrecked by skeletons up top this part is not strictly necessary we could have just gone without the shield but it did help here with this uh skeleton in particular here and also with some other mobs a little bit higher up so i want to try and go to places where i’m not

Necessarily like where i haven’t necessarily been before so that necessitates basically running through a creeper blocking it with the shield shield’s super useful for doing stuff like this and so yeah again just running through the caves hoping for an emerald it’s kind of surprising that it took us

This long to find an emerald because yeah it is a mountain biome and emeralds are somewhat common and there we go we found the emerald right there so now we’re done with the overworld we got all the materials we need from the overworld now we’re now ready to go to the nether

So we just sort of drop in here i probably didn’t really need to do that i probably could have just gone up i also get kind of lost here so we have to deal with this skeleton a little bit and obviously don’t get sniped in the

Back so we do a little 180 spin there blocking the arrow and then we’re just running through here trying to get back to the lava pool we were at before again blocking the creeper with the shield so thank goodness we got that somehow a zombie spawns down here at uh

Lava level i’m not sure how this happened but yeah apparently the zombie wandered down here and then just glitched out and then he’s like oh there’s a person here and then he calls a couple friends in they come over they say hello and we take care of them

But we need to go to the nether so now we’re going to make another portal so the way you do that is pretty straightforward so uh those of you who are watching the live streams on twitch know exactly how this works but basically you can make a

Portal out of a single bucket of uh water so yeah we have the setup like this so it’s basically like a two by three with this little l shape here and then a block here and here put the water there and now we just got to place down some lava i take the

Shield off the offhand so nothing weird happens with that and yeah we just start placing down our lava here pretty straightforward so there we go portal is now pretty much made although there is one block down here that i still have to put a lava bucket down

There there we go portal made okay so now i don’t have a flint and steel so i decide screw it we’re using wood we’re using wood so wood can actually ignite portals it takes a little bit of time but we actually changed a hard difficulty here

To help it out because believe it or not difficulty actually determines uh how fire spreads or how rapidly fire spreads so by changing it to hard difficulty the fire in theory spreads to the wood faster than it would on easy and so now basically what we’re doing is

We’re just waiting for the portal to light rearranging our inventory a little bit i also decided to put wood on the other side of the portal to give it the maximum chance to ignite so that actually is all of our wood gone and what i’m doing here is i’m just

Basically making air blocks so that the wood can’t ignite because you actually have to have air blocks for fire to start so we’re just clearing out a little area back here just like so and i’m also looking for gravel at this same time like looking around for gravel to see if there’s

Any nearby so we can get flint for flint and steel still but yeah then i just sort of put down some lava close to the wood in hopes that it ignites a little bit and yeah still waiting so this is an area where time could be saved i actually go over

Here looking for some gravel but we only run into a mini daycare here with this baby zombie there’s also a skeleton up there so i’m just like yeah maybe not and by that time i’m like it should have lit by now if it’s going to light and

That is in fact the case so we grab our crafting bench and we head to the nether so going into the nether at 13.50 that’s an okay-ish time uh but definitely can be improved i’ve definitely gone to another quicker in this category uh like you could easily get under 10 minutes if

You get lucky with with your oars and also yeah don’t uh don’t get too much food at the start but now the strategy is we need gold we need quartz and we need ancient debris to get our nether right ingot those the only three we need left in this category

So we’re digging downwards uh we’re actually aiming for level 15 and of course in the nether you got these little lava pockets so you gotta be careful with that i like to put a whenever i’m mining for any debris in general actually i like to put the

Nether uh rack in my offhand so that way like if there’s a lava pocket you can quickly and easily middle mouse button and it instantly allows you to you can just right click actually you don’t need the middle mouse button otherwise you do need middle mouse

Button for the most part to quickly stop lava and stuff but uh yeah this way we’re going down to level 15 we’re doing a staircase down could go straight down if you’re feeling bold but in this case we actually would have gone into lava right there so it’s

A good good method to do a staircase down it’s more consistent method to do a staircase down and we also happen to find some gold another gold another gold ore here so here we just mined this for the gold nuggets we need five gold in total we need four for the netherride

Ingot and we need one for the actual uh golding it itself so we’re getting that right now go ahead and keep on heading down keep on making the staircase i don’t know why i made the staircase so good we actually are not going to need to use

The staircase coming back we could have just dropped down there but it’s all good it’s all good uh so yeah again we’re looking for level 15 and once we get there we’ll start mining straight ahead those of you who have seen my ancient debridea my ancient debris video know

That uh yeah we’re at 15 now so now i actually open up chunk borders uh so we’re looking for chunk borders but we’re going to try and do the mine in a straight line method there’s a bunch of methods that you can use but i found mining in a straight

Line is the most efficient method keeps you mining blocks keeps you focused and moving forward but yeah you can see those lines the yellow lines and occasionally a blue line those are actually chunk borders the reason we’re mining like right along a chunk border is because this method you can basically uh

You can basically check two chunks at the same time the chunk we’re in and the chunk next to you uh so yeah we also found a little bit more gold and bam there is our gold now completed so we now only need quartz and ancient debris but yeah you can basically check the

Chunk you’re in right now so the chunk on the left and the chunk on the right at the same time and hopefully that sort of increases your chance to find ancient debris just a little bit uh some other methods you could employ here just because this is sort of the most rng

Uh based uh section of this this category of this run you could do poke holes on the trunk borders i think that would also be effective and there we go quartz has now been acquired so that is the final mineral before the netherride ingots so we’re now done with everything except

For finding ancient debris and we need four ancient debris in total um to complete the netherrites ingot so now we’re only looking for ancient debris but some of the other methods besides the straight line method that you could employ would include like poke holes every three or four blocks that’s a method

I’ve used in the past in this category to to help out with the rng a little bit but it is still rng very heavily rng dependent in this part rng meaning random number generator meaning it’s random when where you find the ancient debris um but yeah as you can see

I think this category could definitely go under 20 minutes uh where it’s you know 17 minutes we have everything except for ancient debris right now and we’ve already been mining down here for a few minutes so definitely room for improvement in this category but still

Yeah doing this method i think is one of if not the most efficient way to do it you could use a bed i think i got some some wool from sheep earlier and if we had some extra wood we could use like a better two that might help

Tnt i don’t really think is is plausible because you have to get sand as well as kill a bunch of creepers and you’d only have like one or two if that but i guess if you had some gun powder and some sand for for some reason you could do like a tnt

Or two that might help slightly but in general i think this is probably the close to or approximately the best method so again just mining a straight line again it’s it’s pretty rare block ancient debris is pretty tough to find but yeah i think this is the best best method to do it

But depending on your rng here you could easily get under 20 minutes so definitely room for improvement here can be kind of frustrating though mining in a straight line like this not finding anything especially when you find other stuff first like gold and quartz and then

Blackstone and you know a bunch of stuff like that but it’s not too bad overall uh you could i think one method that could be used to improve this part is actually spending time to get some obsidian beforehand however that does require you to beforehand when you’re on the surface uh slaying cows

For leather and also getting sugarcane so you have to sort of pre-plan for that a little bit more than just the unenchanted diamond pick which i’m using here but that is a method that could work because that will help to break the netherrack a little bit quicker

Uh and as such potentially at least on average find the uh ancient debris faster so that’s a method that could be used to help with this section of the run if you spend some time once you get the diamond pick to mine a little bit of obsidian first

But again it does take time to mine obsidian so you have to weigh the benefits of that as well uh yeah i just don’t even mind bother mining gravel gravel pits might also be worth digging out if you have a diamond shovel which we can actually make but

I still think mining a straight line is better than uh than doing the gravel method but here we should start to see i think sometime soon here we get our first ancient debris ancient debris if you don’t know they mine uh or they mine they they spawn in uh

Groups of two and three sorry one to three so you need to find at least two uh groupings of ancient debris uh to get the netherrite ingot so yeah at this point you know half our pick is gone it’s looking it’s looking rough i believe the previous world record was 28

Minutes 19 seconds so we still have a little bit of time still on world record pace if we can find some ancient debris rather quickly we need like i said two sort of patches of ancient debris and luckily i think some somewhere up here is where we find our first one

And obviously hope for not finding a solo ancient debris you want to find a debris that you know has some other debris next to it that’s ideal and of course we’re sticking to the chunk boundaries here maintaining the method maintaining that uh section so yeah we get some more quartz here

And at this point it’s kind of getting ridiculous because yeah you’d expect to find at least one ancient debris you should be getting like around an ancient debris every like i think it’s uh what was it like eighty one ancient debris every like 80 seconds with an efficiency five picks so

You know you figure a few minutes every few minutes you should find at least one engine debris so yeah at this point it’s like come on where is it where is it where is it where is it’s got to be here it’s got to be here and then suddenly we will see possibly

I thought i found it before this but i guess not there we go there’s our ancient debris so there’s our first ancient debris right there again we need four so we’re hoping that there’s more than one and there is there’s actually two ancient debris here there we go

One two very good and of course yeah once we have the ancient debris we’re gonna go ahead and slop down a furnace and start to smelt that stuff out and while that’s smelting we’re going to keep going hoping for some more ancient debris and again still mining in a straight

Line we got to find one more piece or two more pieces rather but hopefully just one more vein unquote of ancient debris and i realized since we’re getting kind of far away we probably want to go back and get those another right scraps turns out that was a good decision we

Leave the furnace there because it takes time to break it double check my own tour to make sure i have all the right materials and so now we just need two more pieces of ancient debris and then we are done with this category essentially so yeah we just keep on mining the straight

Line here and we got pretty lucky with this second uh the second vein of ancient debris found this just moments after the first one so there we have it there is the second piece third piece rather of ancient debris and then there’s the fourth one right there so now i realize

We just got to mine it out and so let’s listen in where’d it go where’d it go here okay we’re fine thing down here one more this is it we got it where’s that there it is that’s it right cool yes that’s it 23.59 hey let’s go

We got it we got it folks we got it no doubt on that one no doubt on that one baby let’s go there we go ladies and gentlemen the fastest time to get all minerals right there absolutely awesome absolutely awesome we got your quartz we got your gold

We got your copper we got your lapis we got your emerald we got your diamond we got your redstone we got your amethyst and we got your netherright ingot right there nice and beautiful in the inventory amazing amazing all right let’s let’s do it let’s let’s uh take off the face cam

Real quick we got to show the uh the uh the scene uh let’s see take off the frame as well there we go okay so slash seed there is the seed right there ladies and gentlemen so there we have it guys that is it for me today a new world record for all

Minerals structureless rsg pretty cool to see and yeah i’m looking forward to see this category go a lot faster in the very near future for now though that is it for me thanks so much for watching this has been co goodbye you
