NEW Minecraft World Record (Analysis/commentary)

So this is the new Minecraft world record by xylenox who beat the game in seven minutes on a completely random world I have never been so stressed watching someone else play Minecraft he’s been trying to get this for over a year and his channel got hacked by some

Crypto people a couple weeks ago so if you haven’t seen the Run check out his channel he has some great videos both speedruns and let’s get into the run first thing you’ll see him do is run 15 Minecrafts at once this is how we can pick worlds that look like an island

Spawn top right fits the bill but immediately he’s opening the F3 screen and looking at this orange bit in the bottom right when it spikes like this he’s looking in the direction of a block entity like a spawner or a chest xylenox is finding a buried treasure chest

Without a map and he knows it’s a buried treasure because there’s a weird piece of diorite sticking out from the gravel that only happens with buried treasures and this is standard for him he’s going for world record he needs a berry Treasure Chest because it’s going to

Give him a couple useful things namely TNT you know most people they’d punch a tree to get someone that’s how they start off no no it’s nylocks he’s gonna blow up up two trees at once this is useful because it’s also going to give

Him a ton of dirt which is going to be vital in the nether that’ll help you bridge over Lava Lakes navigate terrain he did get a little less than average there I think when I do this I get around a stack but look how fast this

Guy crafts his tools he is some of the most consistent and clean crafting I’ve ever seen he has an iron pick a bucket he’s totally good to go to the nether all he needs to do is find some lava conveniently there’s an underwater lava Ravine if you don’t watch speed running

Much you might be like how how is he going to make a portal it’s underwater you see how he crafted some doors he’s gonna use those doors to make a portal at the bottom of the ocean he’s in the nether with an iron pickaxe a bucket

Tons of food tons of blocks in a minute dude and he’s not even nervous he’s done this hundreds of times as soon as he loads into The Nether though he’s gonna pause his game and look at this number here almost instantly it spiked to 30. zylocks knows there’s a Bastion close by

Hean pauses spots it out of the corner of his eye and there’s a fortress these are the two structure speedrunners need to complete a run what he needs to do now though is identify which Bastion this is there’s four types some of them being faster than others some of them

Can just screw you over and look and the run’s dead originally he thinks this Bastion is one called Stables because he was looking at his F3 screen and the entity spiked to a certain number he’s like okay that amount of entities probably means it’s this Bastion he was

Wrong at this point but he figures it out pretty quickly and it’s housing which is like runner’s favorite type of Bastion all he needs to do now is find piglens and gold the optimal way to do this is getting down to the bottom so

He’s gonna use a boat to fly down now it does break which is pretty bad he’s in trouble there’s so many pickles he jumps over this Pig Dude nine out of 10 times you’re gonna get hit by that Piglet and xylax no no no he’s too skilled-free he

Says no sir he’s now got like 10 pigs chasing him he knows exactly what he’s doing though he’s gonna go to this corner dig down there’s gold here he knows exactly where every single gold placement is he’s gonna break these two blocks tons of piglens are gonna fall in

The hard part of conquering this Bastion is over he can breathe the sigh of relief and mine these gold blocks in peace there are nine in total which means a 81 gold ingots and on average this should give you enough pearls enough string to make beds and enough

Obsidian to leave the nether ideally he would get 20 obsidians so he can build not one but two portals which would make the Run extremely fast but on average you’re not going to get 20 obsidian so it’s only a bonus now he’s going to clear his inventory which I think is a

Pretty under represented thing in speedrunning clean inventory helps you react and grab things so much quicker oh and would you look at that the Bastion chest has tons of obsidian he’s gonna go back to his trading hole drop down a hole and I don’t know if you saw it in

Time but he got 20 obsidian the chat starts freaking out 20 obsidian WTF xylenox is leaving the Bastion with everything he needs in three minutes and he’s not even gonna leave the way he came in he sees the Soul Sand which means the surface is right here all he

Needs now is a fortress remember that Fortress he spotted earlier he knows exactly where he’s going he can drink a fire resistance potion and this is my favorite part of the whole run look at this Pearl he lands on the edge this man is a Madman dude but this run could die

At any point blazes have some of the strongest attacks in Minecraft and they only have a 50 chance of dropping a blaze rod so he could just get screwed over on luck and not get the six blaze rods he needs fortunately the first two drop he has two blaze rods he’s gotta

Hope for more to spawn but that’s not good enough for xylenox he has some excess TNT he’s going to blow up the area around the spawner so there’s space for even more to spawn but this is a very sketchy play not only for the fact

That you could fall off into the lava he has fire resistance so he’d survive but for the fact that blazes can fly all over the place if you kill him and the Blaze Rod falls into the surrounding lava that’s bad ideally he would have had time to place all of this dirt

Before the blazes spawn but they haven’t and this is the scariest part of the whole run because if that Blaze knocks him off into the lava that’s a 20 second time loss it could screw up the world record thankfully Blaze’s AI makes us they uh fly up towards the player but he

Kills it and I don’t know if you saw but a blaze rod fell into the lava one of the 6 that he needs is now gone thankfully xylenox is thinking on his feet he’s not gonna waste a second he’s gonna build his first portal and figure out the direction of the stronghold you

Only need two Eyes of Ender to do this he has six he’s totally good to go but he’s gonna step outside the portal hope for some more blazes some more spawn two more he’s gonna kill them now at this point I want to mention the world record

For leaving the nether with six blaze rods is four minutes and 30 seconds xylonox knows this is one of the best Paces anybody has ever been on at any point he could die or even lose 20 seconds to be off Pace here’s another pretty cool part of the Run he’s gonna

Calculate where that stronghold is by throwing ice zooming in his level V turning down his sensitivity and using precise measurements down to the pixel to calculate the exact coordinates of the portal now some people might say he’s using an external program that is totally cheating but I think that’s

Because people don’t understand the situation for a long time people did make these calculations in their head they came up with clever Mental Math shortcuts at some point it’s basically the same as the program and the speedrun monitors have allowed it you can make these same calculations on pencil and

Paper though xylonox knows where the stronghold is and he’s back in the nether he needs one more blaze rod and he’s gonna throw a pearl in the direction of the portal you might think that’s gonna land he’s gonna be away from the blazes isn’t that bad no he’s

Just gonna turn down his render distance so it’s unloaded this means he can force Minecraft to load that Pearl whenever he wants and save the time of the Pearl getting thrown these are the time saves you need for a world record he gets his sixth Blazer out here this is the most

Critical point of the whole run he could stay get one more blaze rod and guarantee himself entering the end but there’s like a 70 chance he won’t need to do that xylenox is going to reload that ender pearl and leave hoping for that 70 chance this is a tricky bit

Though according to his calculations he has to build another nether portal in a lava lake it has to be a hundred percent accurate down to the block xylenox has been in this exact situation when he got second place and he lost 10 to 20 seconds building the portal this time

He’s on it purling to the exact block and building a portal under the lava you know casually we are at the five minute Mark you might think they’re being lava everywhere will be a problem no no he’s just gonna drain the portal in like two seconds after making sure he is standing

On the correct block in the portal he’s going to enter the stronghold this is where the nerves kick in the end game it is 5 minutes and 50 seconds the world record for entering the end is 6 minutes and 30 seconds he goes down this upper passage see that there’s sand and water

Probably not going to be the portal room so he turns back on half Health he turns down the left passageway there’s light this direction it could be the portal room but he falls and I got an ad recording this footage I keep this bit in as a joke but also because his

Channel got hacked a couple weeks ago I’m so glad he has the world record we’re back he lands there’s mobs everywhere but the portal room is right here he’s in at six minutes a huge sigh of relief there is an Eye of Ender in the portal he’s good to go at six

Minutes and 14 seconds he eats one last bit of food but there’s a problem he’s over the void and has no ender pearls he decides to speed Bridge anyway though how many of you on world record pace what speed Bridge right here the chat is going crazy this could be world record

But if you know anything about Minecraft speedrunning this bit is gonna come down to luck to kill the dragon he’s gonna use Beds which is really cool but to do so you have to wait for the dragon to come to the center of the island this could take six minutes the amount of

Time he has spent in the world so far or it could take 45 seconds I managed to watch this live I was freaking out I was not the person speed running okay okay this has got I gotta record this this is this could be world record this could be

A new world record speedrun he’s in the end at 6 40. he’s broken the world record for entering the end he’s got six beds too oh my gosh oh my gosh no way it purchased there smart person please world record is 8 15 it needs to perch

By like eight 7 30 or something or like seven if it purchase here then that’s world record oh my gosh oh my gosh I think it’s pushing oh my gosh this is world record this is world record this is world record come on please download it please

Please you got this I believe oh no that was a bad second bad good bad good good dude dude that’s freaking dude what the [ __ ] dude dude I was so nervous let’s go yeah [ __ ] let’s go let’s go let’s go dude oh my 7 45 that
