The World Record History of Minecraft 

NO DREAM ISNT IN THE VIDEO! Dreams runs are the 1.9+ category: I will NOT be doing 1.9+ runs any time soon. The speedrunning war has multiple videos on it, and with how many changes are happening to the category, making a video would be unbelievably difficult with having to change stuff constantly. Maybe wayyy down the line, but no time soon, unfortunately.

Illumina: *breaks a world record* Illumina, on the same day: I'm gonna end this man's whole career

Note to Viewer: This is for Pre 1.9 WRs, not 1.9+!

I was wondering why people had suddenly started commenting on my old SSG run videos! Wow - amazing video! The info on sister seeds and tower strats in particular was absolutely fascinating. You asked in your video how I got that seed for the very first SSG world record. Answer: brute force. I spent maybe a year generating and exploring thousands of seeds, looking specifically for deserts with temples close to spawn and a Looting book. As you can imagine, the search for the seed was exhausting. Before that, I had tried doing probably a year of 'true' RSG runs, but I rejected that idea of pulling that in anything under, say, 2 hours due to the obvious hurdles. SSG was probably doable in less than 1 hour, but even the best seeds I found were still pretty poor for getting to the end quickly. I probably ran that WR seed 200-300 times before getting the time under 1 hour! I'd be happy to answer any other questions you have. Thanks so much for sharing the video, and for the nice mentions. (Fun Fact: I'm an old man -- I was 46 when I got this world record.)

Oh my, I feel bad for taro. You could feel his pain when he accidentally clicked that bed

Summoning salt created a whole new genre of RU-vid and it’s great

It’s insane seeing how far ahead of his time Illumina was. Even today I still think he’s ahead of his time, he just needs to get that one lucky seed

sizzler: i'm not gonna attempt to beat my world record also sizzler: beats it like 30 times and keeps the record for 2 years

Small Update: Today Lide has admitted to cheating both of his random seed world records. This means since both of Lide's runs are cheated, Illumina actually held the random seed world record twice with a 25:26 and a 24:58 before eventually getting the 23:53 mentioned in this video.

That moment when a game is so popular, that it's literally getting released during it's own convention

Notch and Mojang: **makes a fun game for people to spend tons of time on creating and exploring, to one day look back on the creations and good memory’s that was made** Speedrunners: “We don’t do that here”

About Invisigoth: "And that's why it's a long speedrun time" Buddy, in 45 minutes I'm still building my house in Minecraft, 45 minutes to finish everything is pretty impressive to me!

the best feeling is knowing that he's talking quick and giving so much information yet 54 minutes are remaining

Sizzler really just flexed on everyone??? Wrecks his own record three times in one month, record stands for two years, then he beats it again two more times. Was everyone just so demotivated by this dude that they were all chilling for two years? Cuz I would be LMAOOOO

1 Hour Of Studying: *"gosh, this felt like 10 hours..."* 1 Hour Of RU-vid Entertaining Videos: *"what? ended already? gosh, this felt like 10 minutes..."*

"How is such a time save possible when the previous run was already near perfect?" Before we go any further into that... *We need to talk about parallel universes*

holy cow i didnt know sizzler was this much of a legend i watch him sometimes on twitch

This guy made 2 videos and straight up dipped

Interviewer: people have beat Minecraft in less than 20 minutes Me: yes Interviewer:and you have 1500 hours on Minecraft correct Me:yes Interviewer:so you beat the game correct? Me 👁️👄👁️

Me: it’s Minecraft, what WR history does it even have Video: *is 55 min long*

The thing is, Random Seed Glitchless, RSG, is just one letter away from plain RNG.

26:45 my man really got a time of 6:09' on 4/20

The speedrunning community is so inventive. Getting to the bottom is the best idea for a game that has no end.

It’s crazy to see how much Minecraft has evolved over the years.

This channel is severely underrated. The videos are entertaining and full of interesting information as well. Hopefully, this guy will blow up overnight. Edit: Yet another great video. Keep up the good work, man.

Can't believe I still haven't commented here ... So cool watching all the history between the two Pre1.9 categories in just one hour... and every single run commented from the first to the last ... and a lot of nostalgia too (more than 6 years of a journey for SSG ... from taro's lucky seed, the snowy sister seed ... up to the librarian 11 eyes seed) Thank you for making this video!!

Thank you for this beautiful video! We really all appreciate the effort you've placed into it!

youre 100% on the way to exploding in popularity amazing job, keep it up

This is awesome Connor! The slight pauses and lowering your tone at the end of sentences helps so much, imo. You're able to keep your normal speaking pace when delivering all that info, but the pauses and dips allow us to digest it. You asking questions in the script and showing the 'clutch' parts of the run was fantastic and helped to slow things down more and engage the audience. I'm excited to see what you do next. Also, I love the mario music in the background, great choice!

25:18 It's me :)

Watching this inspired me to actually beat the game all the way through for once. I won't be doing any speedruns anytime soon, but I will attempt to slay the end dragon. Thanks for that. Also, loved this little documentary and the one you did on Super Mario Bros. Has really reignited my interest in gaming. Subscribed!

YES ive been waiting for another upload from you :DD your last world record video was so well made this one will probably be even better :)

I was about to say "what about dream?" But them I read in here that its pre 1.9+

**55 minutes of Minecraft speedrun history** Everyone: *Interesting*

i was just wondering about this exact speedrun history a few weeks ago and then this video pops up in my recommended today!!! :) thank you, this was fascinating!

As an illumina fan since before the boom in popularity this video just makes me happy on a personal level It's also really well made and I hope you do more

another great vid connor. can really tell the effort put into this, amazing quality. good stuff.

This is absolutely fantastic! everything from the script to the presentation is top notch. I can't wait to see more videos like this!

This is one of my favourite videos on YT - extensive research, great presentation and super interesting. Thanks.

Fantastic video! This was a huge nostalgia trip for me back in these days. Thank you for making this, really well done! :)

Been waiting for soo long, good to see you back

Dude. I _loved_ your choice of music. I have good memories of, like, 90% of the songs you used. Very cool. Also, what an interesting video! The techniques the runners used and the epic highs kept me watching til the end-and jeez, I can’t imagine writing a script that long. All in all, this is one of my favorite videos!

This was a great watch! Very thorough research and clear explanations. Good job

My sister and I have been playing since around late 2012, early 2013. It's really nice to see how much the game has grown

Dude got a 1mil video and dipped

I love when really small youtubers breakthrough with these high quality videos everyone wants. I just love this stuff!!!

This is a spectacular and riveting video! I couldn't stop watching. I saw a Minecraft rsg at GDQ and it brought me here. Thank you for putting so much effort into this video!

Nice. Like how I treat Internet Historian as my second Fredrik Knudsen, I'll treat this channel as my second Summoning Salt.

I would love to play a game with this guy before he blows up. Very entertaining and definitely a new favorite!

Hope you continue to make more videos! I like these kind of videos giving us the history of a games speedruns.

Dang dude. The production quality is great for a new channel. I will make sure to stay tuned as you grow as a creator! Good luck!

I remember watching people speedrun using Taro’s seed, time flies. Minecraft speedrun is always interesting to me even with repeated runs of SSG

I was heartbroken by what happened to tarokitchen. I hope they're doing well.

Well narrated, well edited, well research, just all around a well made video. Great Job!

this video is one of the best i've ever seen in all my years of watching youtube. thank you so much for all that you do dude, much love

It feels so weird watching this as I recognize the old world records I watched in 2015-16.

Illumina is a beast, and still active, he pops into beasttrollmc streams on twitch every so often

This channel needs WAY more attention. I love the detail you go into and the sound of your voice. Perfect video mate.

New here, your research and clarity in communication is incredible...thank you

Slight mistake around 39:03. You talked about a new runner "wata" and showed his record at the bottom right but it says Tarokitchen down there. Still a great video. I really enjoyed it :)

me: gosh i should really start fixing my sleep schedule school is starting soon youtube: haha me: whats so funny? youtube: one hour minecraft speedrun documentary

I wondered when you would make another one of these. Another great

Keep up the good work man! love the videos so far!

I'm so glad I got this in my recommended today. You just got a sub!

As someone who speedruns Minecraft LCE, this was very enjoyable to learn about SSG and RSG on java. Would love to see you cover any ILs of minecraft!

Love ur vids man, can see the care and time put into it

You are gonna get much bigger on RU-vid Connor! I really enjoyed this video so Good Luck!! You earned a subscriber! :)

He's back boys. Found your content because of RU-vid's recommend. It recommended the NSMBW speedrun history. I only watched it because I had no idea that people speedran it and because I have alot of nostalgia with mario wii. I think that video was very good and very insightful. Now this video, another one of my favorite games. This video is also a great one. I shall now turn on notifications

Man I know youre THIS close to exploding... if someone sees this from the future when he has, Hi! Btw, I love the Zelda music, would be nice if you had this in future videos

wow, what a video, this deserves more. So in depth and educational, thanks man

Love the video. The music choice for the entire video is so awesome.

Great video! I love your content. Here are some possible video ideas for WR history videos: New Super Mario Bros Wii 100%, Cuphead, and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

People: **Complaining about Dream** Connor01: A foolish miscalculation... Me: Thats why you get the context first, before expecting something.

I can see you put a lot work into this video and it is great to watch

Excellent video! Thanks for uploading!

Happy new year yall!!! :D

26:50 that run was made on 4/20 and has a time of 6:09.. nice

This is a really good video! Can't wait to sleep to it. I love this video. Keep up the good editing and work!

This video gets to the point way faster, well done!

i just realized i forgot how a diamond block looks like shoot

These guys finishing the game under half an hour while im still making a farm 1 month in

Well done! Thank you for the awesome content. You should do more world record histories!

Great channel, keep up these vids! we love them!! :)

Ten minutes in -- my jaw literally dropped hearing *eight eye.* I didn't even know that was possible. I've never seen anything higher than four before, especially in a speedrun. And with the other luck with gravel and the blaze spawner and fortress itself. I'm glad I had the time to at least start this video so I was made aware of this. Holy hell.

50:05 It hurts seeing that many diamonds not being mined

It's insane how fast you grow! You're now at 4,65k subs! Great video!

Just got half way through the video and just wanted to say this is an awesome telling of the history of MC speedrunning. Big ups.

IMPORTANT: Lide cheated😢.

RU-vid algorythm loves you and you 100% deserved it

This Video needs WAYYY more attention! Just found this channel and subscribed within the first 15 mins

I saw your NSMBW video and I'm glad to see you continue to make content. This channel will make it big, trust me

Yooooo my stock footage is used in this vid, hell yea

2:33 world record history of Bookworm Adventures Deluxe

Your video's are great dude. Hope to see more soon!

amazing video and i loved the music u used !!

Ssg: everyone Rsg: *JAPAN*

Can you upload again my friend, please. Your content is so good.

Damn good work! Thanks for this very interesting documentary!

good job, you really spent a lot of time on this!
