How A Minecraft World Record Became Unbeatable…

The Minecraft world record you’re watching right  now is impossible to beat, but so was this one,   this one, this one, this one, and this one.  You see, for an entire year now Minecraft’s   best players have been claiming that this  specific world record has reached a human limit,  

Meaning this record is impossible to break without  cheating. Yet each time they’ve been proven wrong.   This time however, they may actually be right. Let  me explain. Minecraft bridging is a very useful   mechanic that has evolved tremendously over the  years and what started out is simply clicking fast  

Has now turned into a series of robotic movements  perfect timing and mechanics so Advanced that   you’ve probably never even heard of them but it  wasn’t always this way and for the longest time   bridging was believed by most who have already  been pushed to the max with no way to physically  

Improve upon any of the known strategies at this  time the world record on the biggest bridging   server in the world McPlay HD short mode was a  time of 4.0 seconds this time was achieved through  

The use of chain tab speed teles a strategy which  is still the fastest to this day but in the past   year has changed dramatically but this is where  it all began with 4.0 the first ever time to be  

Considered the human limit fast forward to today  and the time has dropped by an incredible quarter   of a second leaving the current world record at  a time of 3.75 seconds this quarter of a second   change however is the result of nearly two years  of bridging development thousands of hours worth  

Of practice repetition and studying aspects of  the game that would probably otherwise still be   entirely unheard of and the journey to reach 3.75  is truly remarkable Minecraft bridging’s largest   server started that with only one mode known by  the community as normal this is the mode in which  

Tele bridging first became popularized and were  some of the biggest names in the community at   the time such as do real bedless Noob and krennic  learned the advanced in-game mechanics of bridging   eventually however the server decided to release  a Mode called short which was approximately half  

The size of normal and due to there being less  room to make mistakes in such a short Gap the   mode quickly became popular often even more  so than the primary normal mode as players at   this time had already managed to get a grasp  on tele bridging and someone even knowing  

How to speed tele at this time the short mode  leaderboard was already quickly filled up with   highly competitive times and over the coming  months players would begin to approach the   first ever perceived human limit of Minecraft  bridging as more the community began to catch  

Up with players like duga who had managed to get  a grasp on speed tele bridging extremely quickly   many players began to realize that those at the  top of the leaderboard had all stopped improving   each having reached the exact same time of 4.0  seconds on short mode using cap speed Tellies a  

Type of bridging that saves a single tick for a  speed tele as opposed to just holding the space   bar down the entire time up until this point the  direction for players to improve in Minecraft   bridging had always been a very clear path as  simply copying the strategies that were being  

Innovated on by the best of the best was enough  to retain a high position on the leaderboard but   once everyone and their mother had mastered the  tap speed Telly the entire Community was Suddenly   at a loss on how to proceed it was at this time  that the concept of momentum was first introduced  

Something already fairly self-explanatory but  players in the community realized that if they   time their turns and jumps absolutely perfectly  they could shave off an entire Minecraft tick off   their times bringing the world record down to a  much lower 3.95 second and while the optimization  

Of momentum in game had barely changed the  world record at all it opened the floodgates   for Bridges to start finding little imperfections  and potential ways to break the world record well   beyond 3.95 it was at this point in bridging that  players stop focusing on creating faster bridging  

Methods as it was common knowledge that unless  you could pull off this absolutely perfectly   top speed Tellies were the fastest bridging method  out there for this reason the best Bridgers in the   world began to focus on a part of the bridge that  had never seen much attention before the clutch  

You see when a player does a four block flat tele  into six chain speeds it’s almost always necessary   to clutch by placing one single block on the end  Island in order to not fail the attempt in general  

And on most servers this is the fastest way to  clutch on the end Island apart from having crazy   momentum and not needing to clutch at all however  on MC played see specifically the end island has   a small hill on it which players started to  theorize about using to create a head hitter  

In Minecraft a head hitter makes your player move  slightly faster than Sprint jumping but initially   when I spoke to players about the possibility of  this strategy most of them seem to think that it   wasn’t any faster for months after I had suggested  the idea to top players it seemed that it had been  

Largely forgotten about however eventually I  started to hear the term being thrown around   and eventually this became the main strategy that  players were using until eventually duga would   break the world record it and get a time of 3.9  seconds using it and only a few days later this  

Was also Tied by two players known as three Clicks  in gecko after seeing players achieve this already   deemed impossible time I started theorizing about  the possibility of this being the human limit for   bridging does it seem that even the best bridges  in the world were completely lost for ideas on  

How to break the record past this point one of the  ideas I came up with at the time was the concept   of a double head hitter as I’d learned that the  single head hitter did not in fact say before  

Minecraft take but rather a few pixels of distant  a double head hitter however would theoretically   save even more distance but every single Bridge  including all of the tide world record holders   at the time said that this would get 3.85 as  by the time you would actually place the two  

Head hitter blocks you would already be too far  along to utilize one of them rendering it useless   after this the double head hitter was quickly  disregarded and never utilized well at least not   until around a full year later and foreshadowing  around this time 3.9 was also achieved without  

The use of a head hitter by three clicks and from  there it became clear above all else that momentum   was the key thing players could still improve  upon by optimizing their turns and keystrokes   players are able to achieve incomprehensibly  minimal improvements to their in-game momentum  

Players at this time began to focus far more on  perfecting their momentum while simultaneously   also starting to use new strategies such as  1.05 second four block flat starts which was   essentially just the insanely optimized version  of a regular four block flat which would normally  

Take 1.1 seconds conveniently around the same  amount of time it would take you to subscribe   but with momentum now being the entire focus of  the bridging Community players were literally   going into replay mode after every single attempt  to measure the exact coordinates of their players  

After each speed to calculate their momentum and  of course eventually this led to the 3.85 that   at this point players already knew was coming but  after achieving the 3.85 the entire Community was   convinced that the human limit had been reached a  consensus at seemingly every top Bridger agreed on  

Except that one player a bridge your name Crimson  had suddenly turned off his in-game keystroke mod   hiding his strategies from absolutely every other  player and was suddenly starting to successfully   pull off strategies in times that no other player  could do this strategy that Crimson was hiding  

Now known as the game momentum strategy where not  only do you perfect your momentum throughout doing   the speed Tellies in order to not slow down over  time but instead your player actually increases in   momentum throughout the bridge using the strategy  Crimson managed to bring the world record down to  

3.8 seconds now leaving the entire community and  the dark on how to progress until eventually he   decides to share the strategy with others and  of course it didn’t take long for other top   Bridgers like Dugout and Gekko to catch up tying  the 3.8 of all the world records that happen below  

The 4 second mark this was really the only one  that players knew to be possible far before it   happened but the only real reason for this was  that at the time of 3.85 being the record every   player in the entire Community including Dugal  the world record holder said that I don’t know  

If anyone will ever beat 2.8 or like if that’s  even humanly possible but after reaching 3.8 the   bridging Community began to diminish substantially  with top players either quitting or going on to   do moderately impressive things like breaking  the Jabba’s speedrunning world record for this  

Reason it wasn’t until somewhat recently nearly 10  months after the 3.8 that the bridging community   you would see a new world record on April  1st 2023 a player by the name of strione   Miner would shatter all beliefs around Minecraft’s  limits achieving his second ever world record in  

Minecraft bridging as a whole and his first ever  on short mode with a time of 3.75 this completely   thought to be impossible time was achieved by  utilizing two new strategies one being the double   slab start where the player first Begins the  bridge by placing blocks two blocks lower than  

The regular starting position allowing them to  have less airtime travel at the end of the bridge   and the second strategy the double head hitter  that’s right I called it a year ago and everyone   said it wouldn’t work but what makes this 3.75 so  significant and what’s to say another player won’t  

Come along and break this record in the future  well according to shot only Miner I I think 3.75   is probably the human limit because I can’t really  imagine someone getting 3.7 I think it’d be insane   according to both stradoni Miner and Dugo the  only possible way to get 3.7 is through the use  

Of a perfect five block flat start followed  up with five perfect tab speeds and double   clutch at the end of the bridge something that  both considered to essentially be impossible so   is this it the human limit of Minecraft bridging  only time will tell but if I’ve learned anything  

From making five videos on five different  human limits the end is still yet to come
