I Tried to Speedrun Minecraft in VR

I simply cannot believe how well this video did but thank you all so much and i guess there’s another method of speedrunning i could try There’s a massacre As i enjoyed going into these sorts of things without any prior knowledge i was at first confused as to how controls worked in this new space of reality and how all of it worked wait if i look if i if i go down i crouch

If i jump for the first couple of resets i was more so figuring out the inner workings of vivecraft and how my actions are recorded and translated in the game’s code fortunately for myself i was in awe of how the game looked through my own perspective as i felt a sense of

Familiarity and comfort but a sense of the unknown loomed over as i had never played minecraft in such a way yet these were attempts at a speedrun after all so there were plenty of resets prior to finding a good seat to run i reset plenty of times as i wish to avoid

Playing a seat that showed no promise in hopes of avoiding subsequent nausea that was until i spawned in right next to a desert biome i managed to grab some wood before heading into the dry ecosystem that lacked such organic materials crafting was extremely difficult early on as i was clueless about the control

Scheme and still getting accustomed to my new surroundings being cubic as i walked up a sandy hill i was welcomed and surprised to see a desert temple present itself as well as a village entering my peripheral vision at this point in time i believe this run

To be the one and was then filled with determination to have the run fulfilled unlike the education edition blunder upon entering the temple i began to dig straight down and sense the descent into the ground as darkness approached disarming the trap in the temple was more nerve-wracking than

Ever before as i felt i could somehow trigger it by the wrong inputs once doing so i looted all the chests in a very slow fashion and pillared back up to the surface to visit the village nearby upon arrival i was very hesitant and methodical and how to go about killing

The iron golem as i wasn’t confident in my reflexes to run and pillar up swiftly enough upon taunting the iron golem i accidentally hit a villager as in vive craft if you swing your primary hand you will inflict damage to entities close by i was confused as i believed the iron

Golem would have become aggro upon attacking one yet he didn’t do so so i had a bit of fun with my newly gained skill upon going in a house i was able to aggro the iron golem from the window and kill it safely well kind of

Afterwards the night began to fall and i decided to sleep in a bed to ensure mobs wouldn’t spawn unfortunately that was a mistake as the darkness would have aided me in finding a light source for a lava pool as i spent the next 20 minutes trying to find

One on foot and then by boat in the boat i began to feel nauseous after playing for an hour which includes the time finding the seed i began to feel delirious and decided to see if i could see beneath the boat and glitch into the sea thus afterwards i followed the north

Star in doing so i found land and no more than five minutes later a lava pool creating another portal was actually terrifying as crouching above lava is scarier through one’s own eyes and sense of perception this deceived perception ended up hindering my ability to think properly

And i began to question how to place blocks that would allow the water to flow correctly in order to create the nether portal i decided to be safe and double checked my work as i lit the portal and jumped into it i slowly realized how different the

Experience in the nether would be as opposed to playing on a monitor i spawned in a ravine-like structure and lava began to quickly fall from above as the chunks had just loaded in i ran away from the lava and began to pillar up but the piglens and hoglands

Began to chase me as i had no gold armor now i’ll tell you piglens with crossbows armors and swords chasing you is much more frightening in vr than on a monitor luckily i managed to get away due to the help of a hogland saving me however this luck was very short-lived

As a piglet ran behind me and i was too late to realize i was being hit with that 32 minutes in my first run was over yet a second began the next day due to the same determination and will that arises in wake of defeat the second time around i spawned right

Next to a village and looted the village with much more ease than the time before in which i pillared to kill the iron golem rather than grant myself entry to a villager’s home to use for warfare afterwards i visited the savannah village to gather more beds and another

Iron golem as i only obtained three ingots from the first one upon collecting gravel on my travels to find a lava pool i accidentally killed the salmon and then found a desert temple right after with the iron and gold i obtained i was thrilled in knowing i could create armor

To protect myself against the mobs that inhabit the nether i held off on doing so until i finally managed to find a lava pool about 20 minutes into the run i quickly crafted my items and then created another portal as well as obtained the photo used in my thumbnail

When i lit the portal i was jubilant with my progress and upon setting my spawn a wandering traitor decided to wish me luck before entering the nether i spawned in and was very disappointed with my surroundings as i spawned in a basal delta thinking to myself

Navigation in this place was going to be horrendous in search of the nether fort but then another fortress was no more than 20 blocks away i once again was pleased once entering the fortress the experience in vr felt much different from what i was used to normally in another fortress you have f5

And a wider view of the enemies around you but in vr you don’t have such luxuries as well as being two blocks tall the fortress feels massive and pressures one into feeling uneasy soon after i found a bastion that was connected to it but i have never

Practiced and was not aware of how stealing gold from them worked i had seen it in multiple speed runs but never learned the path as this technique was developed after i stopped speed running daily i left it in my search of finding a blaze spawner but wondered if it could be the

Gatekeeper for my run success i grabbed more chests as i found no spawner and upon this search i realized that if you mine a block with your hand as opposed to the button you could break blocks at your own speed and material of the tool again no spawner but as i walked down

The corridor i was greeted by a magma slime and since i had been searching for well over 15 minutes at this point i decided to take a break with him i offered him food and try to pet him without accidentally setting off a combat prompt

After a while i said bye to him found a dead end got diamonds crafted and turned around properly say bye to him one last time before continuing my search about three minutes later i found a blaze spawner i mentally prepared for the fight ahead and contemplated how to

Go about it the most difficult part about this was the fact that i could not see my health at all times as well as my hunger so i was unaware of the condition of my health during these fights i would preemptively run away in fear that i would take too much damage as

Well as flee if more than two blazes spawned one time i was burning and left at half a heart which at the time i was relieved but it was a warning for myself to be even more careful from this i struggled going in and out of the fight to despawn

Them and regain health that is until i died fighting two blazes and walked into the fire right behind me i respawned to witness one of the wandering traders llamas burn in the lava pool that they once greeted me at i felt like a bad omen at the time but with my determination

Similar to education additions i mined sand with my fist to gather enough blocks to pull her back up to the nether fortress upon doing so i was shot off by a blaze that was protecting his home once getting back up i ran frantically due to the scare

And managed to find my loo accidentally as a result of the panic upon gathering my tools back i realized how glorious it felt to wield the diamond sword in vr and with this confidence collected the last blaze rod i needed next up was to mine gold in order to

Trade with piglen i attempted to trade with two piglens but i accidentally hit them due to the swinging mechanic in vivecraft i then decided to run back to the bastion to trade with more piglens but couldn’t find a single one until finding a cluster of them i set them free

Traded with them and got five ender pearls from 18 gold as stated previously i was unaware of how bastion and piglin mechanics worked so i went on a nomadic search for gold the time spent mining gold was the most relaxing yet as i was well equipped and comfortable with the control scheme at

This point until oh my god that scared me i tried to get the return to sender achievement as i thought it would be cool to get in vr but after failing multiple times and almost being sent back into a lava pool he just happened to vanish after

Collecting a fair amount of gold i went back to trade with the piglens but was attacked by an army of wither skeletons the piglens defended their homes but the wither skeletons were after me i ran towards the fortress for shelter as i knew the area and was greeted once

Again by a blaze protecting his home with him missing all his shots and a piglet saving me from an approaching wither skeleton i decided to trade with him inside the fortress as a token of my appreciation i begged the piglen for pearls but he seemed to be days from the fight earlier

As he gave me two trades for iron nuggets which just so happens to be the exact same trade rate in 1.16.1 with ender pearls again i went to mine more gold to trade but i was unable to locate enough gold veins to trade with the piglens with a

Heavy heart i went back to the bastion to reap their riches even after they helped me once again i set up a trap in case they all aggroed on me from looting their chests but to my surprise they didn’t care i went to search for more chests and gold

Blocks but was attacked by a hogland on two separate occasions after escaping the second attack my perception within vr was inevitably my downfall and the llama was not only a bad omen but a foreshadowing of sorts with that this run ended at about 1 hour and 30 minutes in

Yet i genuinely believe that speedrunning minecraft in vr is entirely possible with more practice and knowledge so i may have a second video relating to minecraft vr speed running in the future with all that being said i hope you guys enjoy the rest of your day and if your day is already over

Best of luck tomorrow i know you got this i’ll see you guys next time
