zylenox – Minecraft 1.17 Speedrun World Record

Hey so 117 came out like a few weeks ago and illumina and i just wanted to capitalize on it so i hope that explains the setup i got going i can i can assure you this is not a luminous footage i just stole his soul but anyways i think i’m

Just going to give a rundown of how 117 works and what the little differences are between 117 and 116 and then i’ll shut up and you can just listen to the run okay so overworld wise obviously a village is the best answer because getting beds outside of a village is

Pretty tricky it’s still possible but it’s very inconsistent and that’s just because of the infamous trades nerfs from bastion where pearls are nerfed and not just that string trades are nerfed too so getting all of your string for beds from a bastion it’s still very possible but there’s just no consistency

But in the end the most important thing you can do in 117 and well i guess 116 is enter the nether as fast as possible but that’s more important than 117 because bastion chests can have food and iron way way more uh consistently than 116 bastions

Which means if you just have basic tools and nothing else entering a bastion you can leave with a full runs worth of food and like an iron pick or you can even make an anvil because the bastion just gives you iron blocks because why not and as good

As that is bastions are still the slowest part of 117 and that’s just because uh piglen ai got completely demolished for some reason in this version the way you used to do routes is you would break a gold block or a chest and it would aggro all nearby piglens so

You could easily funnel them all together and trade them super quick but in 117 you can break a chest you can punch a piglet you can do anything to them but if you just like walk behind a wall they forget you exist because they basically just turn piglets into passive mobs

And it’s very hard to get them trading so i had to learn where piglins liked to group up the most in bastions and literally just throw gold directly into the faces to do a route and it wasn’t that bad because there were some strange spots in bastions where piglens

Just group up so you can actually make this scuffed route oh yeah and of course brutes uh brutes were always one of the biggest concerns of newer versions whenever people talked about speed running past 116 but i’m here to tell you that brutes are probably dumber than piglens and are not a threat

Roots also have their own specific spots where they spawn in bastions and since their pathfinding is so aggressive there’s certain ways you can tower up or dig a hole and they’ll just walk right off the edge because they’re just they’re just so dumb and for the chest of bastion’s chest are

Completely broken now instead of the trades being insane and the chest being garbage like they were in 116 they just made it so the trades were garbage and the chests were insane so it’s still broken just in a different way that disfavors speedrunners and when i said chests were broken

I mean yeah you can get iron blocks out of the chest but you can also get food and it’s not just any food you can get cooked pork chops and golden carrots which are some of the best saturation of foods in the game and they’re just handed to you

Another thing is you can get randomly enchanted iron swords in chests and you can get multiple at a time and each sword has its own i think one in 10 chance to have looting on it which means you can get extra pearls and your blaze fight becomes like

As minimal as possible now with piglet ai and chest aside if you know where every gold block is in every bastion you can expect to leave a bastion a little bit less than half the time with ten or more pearls because we all know about the infamous pearl rates getting

Completely demolished in this version i think they’re about a fourth of what they used to be and same thing goes for string trades so have fun oh yeah that’s another thing uh the one thread that kept me on to 117 for this long is that there are no ghost buckets in this version

Ghost buckets are terrible at 116 but in this version they just they fixed the simple mechanic of a bucket incredible by the way i had no business playing out this love and enter i reset pretty hard in this version and usually go for some three

But at least i spawned by a bastion so i figured my way out around the terrain and try to identify what passion it is it’s like oh cool it’s a treasure and then i just leave and look for a different bash and so i micro lens and there is one right this way

Yeah unfortunately treasure is just not something you can play in 117 the terrain inside the treasure is so bad that you might be able to get two or three piglets trading at once and that would take you ages to trade and as i was saying earlier piglets will lose ai if you walk

Behind a wall and i’m not kidding it doesn’t need to be a wall you can hide your head behind a block and the pigments will forget you’re there and if you’ve seen the inside of a treasure bash and it’s very claustrophobic hallways with pillars everywhere so it’s impossible to keep piglet’s aggro

On you but that should give you a pretty good idea of how bastions work and hopefully this stables makes a pretty good example now there’s a few things in 117 that are missing from 116 such as a pie chart and planar fog and both are very important in finding a

Fortress or resetting your nethers efficiently basically in speed running you can use the pie chart to help you figure out if there’s a spawner anywhere within your render distance and fortresses have spawners but if there’s no fortress then there will be no spawners so you’ll know that uh your

Nether is probably pretty garbage so what they did in 117 is they made it so the pie chart sucks and it doesn’t work it just doesn’t update ever so it’s completely useless and that means every time i have a bastion at all ever i have to play the whole thing

Out and just hope there’s a fortress which means i have to waste a lot of time on a run that’s probably just gonna die but let’s just assume you got everything and you’re able to blind a good time to blind would be a sub 14 or sub 13 because

That’ll put you on pretty safe pace to get world record at least in this category because at the time it was only 19 minutes and the end game in general is pretty similar to 116 except for strongholds stronghold generation was changed so that terrain forms around the stronghold

Which basically means you can’t get an ocean exposed portal room or stronghold anymore which is pretty bad because having an ocean exposed stronghold or even portal room in 116 is huge because you get to skip digging down and navigating the stronghold but they yoinked that too in 117 so you have to

Triangulate it and dig down well at least more often than you used to however this run was a bit unique strong cold-wise although i’m not gonna spoil it and that’s all the basics for 117 pretty much if you want to run it uh don’t one because it’s terrible

And two because i want to keep this world record but if you really want to play it then my condolences go right ahead that’s all for me hope you enjoy watching uh smash like and subscribe and i’ll try to upload within the next month um um huh Um hmm uh um hmm mm-hmm oh uh Yes um hey huh ah Ah okay thank you Foreign oh ah um guys don’t tell anyone i have a luminous trap to my basement right now i made him play 117 for me
