Things speedrunners do that you probably don't understand.

Watching this video is just me saying "ohhhhhhhh" for like 16 minutes straight

“Switching to your soulsand is faster than reloading your gravel”

speedrunner when they dont want to waste 2.7182*10^-2147483648 picosecond

I dont understanding nothing

I always alternating blocks was a safety feature so that if a Ghast shot below you it wouldn't cause the tower to fall

This video is exactly what I have been wishing for recently. I'm an old runner who quit for a year and am finally coming back, but there's no videos discussing the super niche stuff that I don't already know. This is huge, thanks

Thanks Rek, now that i know about gravel and soul sand switching, my pb will go from 37:38 to 37:37 😃 5/18 Update 35:29 PB Update 11/30: Ranked PB 17:05

okay well do you understand that you are awesome and epic mr parker rekrap

The fact that you have an effective *parry* by *setting yourself on fire* is metal as hell.

The most shocking part of this video was when you said magma ravines don't exist in the later versions of Minecraft. RIP magma ravines :(

Hilarious that soul sand, the block that slows you down, seems to be a speedrunner's best friend

Petty interesting

The jumping one has a similar mechanic with mining, where if you manually mine each block (not holding), you mine faster. You may have already known this, it is just super inconvenient. Very lovely video!

15:25 "i just love drag clicking" *starts fckn telly bridging*

I love when people share their passion for a niche thing. I have no use for this information but it's just cool listening to it

3:35 For most players that boot up a vanilla 1.16.1 Minecraft world, fog would not render this way. It is only for some specific gpu’s that fog renders like a square (Chebyshev distance, maximum metric) and not a circle (euclidian metric). But because some players would have an advantage due to their gpu, this square fog behavior was added as an option in the sodium mod, to level the playing field. Later versions fixed the square fog behavior for those gpu’s. So for new version speedruns it’s no longer legal to use square fog.

The one that allows you to shift click all the items of one type into your inventory has evaded me for so long. Thank you for making this video, it actually is helpful

I like how he didn’t even mention the casual Telly bridging until the VERY end

Game said nah bruh we done 16:27

You give such a nice way to get introduced to speedrunning. Like in general, your character, video, vibe. Very approachable, not too intimidating, yet at a very high level. Thats why i like your channel so much. Maybe your not nr one of the world, be you are the best and most approachable speedrunner, and a very entertainer at that. At least to me. So thanks :D
