The explosion takes 4 seconds, it’ll be used later That concept is so funny to me but technically it’s 1/5th if the run
And then the portals take 2 seconds each, so that's like another quarter of the run.
@@LloydTheZephyrian i think its 4 seconds as well
@@E12345E Yes and he spends 2 seconds in each of the first two nether portals he makes, teleporting between them so he can get the wool and the glass block while waiting to get into the nether. Taking advantage of the fact that a nether portal only checks that you have been in A nether portal for the last 4 seconds, not whether you have been in THAT nether portal for the last 4 seconds. So the first nether portal he makes is only used to start that timer, he doesn’t even go through it lol.
its like watching jojo vizarre adventure when time stops
My arch nemesis
Wow, I was amazed back when the 92-second TAS came out, but 20!? Honestly, it's hilarious how half the time spent in the run is just waiting for timers to end while frantically doing other stuff. Also, I never considered using bed explosions to boost your Ender Pearls
and now 92 seconds is too long even for humans
And now people have beaten set seed without TAS under 92 seconds
"This tosses him off the map and into the infinite void where he can contemplate his existence" it's moments like these why i LOVE Bismuth. Easy to understand, concise explanations mixed in with occasional dry humor.
sounds familiar..

Ngl the run itself is also satisfying
16:42 I love how he has and takes the time to just organize his inventory
video turned out incredible :) love it, glad i could help
Amazing job on the TAS.
That's one of the coolest speed-runs I have ever seen in any category of any game. The ending is so cool, throwing a pearl and blasting yourself into the shadow realm to shoot it farther, falling to your death but landing at the portal.
Sick tas bro
ayyy dylan
Great work buddy, this was really enjoyable vid
I love how you explained even basic mechanics like how ender pearls work so that anyone, whether they play Minecraft or not, can understand the run. Great work :)
Video basically doubles as a guide to beating Minecraft ☺️
This run doesnt look legit. i hope they ban the guy who made it, clearly a cheater. u humen cant do that
@@SoyAntonioGaming it's TAS .. by definition it's aiming for something a human could only do hypothetically? We were also talking about how the video explains things in a level of detail that'd allow someone new to the game to gain an understanding of what to look for to beat the game ... not whether a non tool-assisted person could complete the game like the TAS did it
@@wednes3day I'm not sure if he's serious
@@Niko257x I see what you mean 🤔
Aside from how interesting the content of this video is, i am impressed by how good it sounds. Amazingly smooth voice, amazing choice of music, well written and organized, i think i could have listened to a video like this about anything.
I just discovered this channel and im completely amazed of the quality of these videos and how well he explains the speedruns
When i discovered this video i considered passing but the voice kept me.
I'm always shocked this channel doesnt have a million subscribers by now because his videos are complete bangers
I love that you let me rewatch the run at the end, really gave me a sense of closure and made me feel like I truly understand the run now
man I LOVE TAS explanations, so much effort goes into something you can watch in less than a minute, the more you know about what happens in the TAS the more you appreciate it
Less than half a minute... 😏
Less than a third of a minute🙂

19:51 is just so perfect. It made the video have such a satisfying end.
Nostalgia hits hard at this point.
YES BRO
19:51 is also only 3 seconds short of 60x 19.90 seconds
the way the end of the run is timed perfectly to the music 👌
I KNOOWW ITS SO PERFECT
I know this video is like six months old now but I'm still so thankful you decided to go over this. Minecraft has been my special interest since I was 8 (so like 10 years now, wow !) and the fact you talk about how Minecraft works so those who don't play it can understand and also not sound judgmental is very soothing to me (I think it might be because usually if I don't understand something I get called stupid or made fun of like instantly). The ending with the music sync up is just brilliant. Thank you so much for this video.
Glad you liked it!
Really great explanation of what happened in the TAS.
yooo
>Do you remember the TNT from earlier? It just blew up the wall

I like that Bismuth noticed that this speedrun is not about putting normal, hard-working speedrunners into a shame, but it's about showing the best potential run by using supporting programs. Respect for DylanDC14 and all minecraft speedrunning community. You're all so great.
I'm always so fascinated by the Minecraft speed run community. Well most of it. It's not full of perfect people but one can Dream.
@@sci7zoba dum tss
now we need to achive this level
@@sci7zo(and the countless other big names that have cheated unfortunately)
I don't want this to sound negative at all, but I've found that most TAS communities recognize this too!! It's positive and interesting, and that's why it is its own category
RuneScape music honestly goes really well with Minecraft.
Runescape music goes well with everything.
mega man
What’s the name of the theme at 10:40 I know the rest just can’t find it and it’s stuck in my head so much nostalgia
@@spyor1 I believe that would be Yesteryear.
playing runescape while this is going on I was really confused lol
He assured that I would understand everything that's going on by the end of this video. It's the end of this video and I understand everything that's going on. You're a great speedrun explainer, keep doing this Bismuth! 👍
Who gave Steve a sandevistan?
This is probably one of the most thorough explanations of a speedrun and TAS, including every relevant game element and mechanic, that I have ever watched. I feel like even if I had never heard of minecraft before I would still be able to fully appreciate this work-of-art run and the skill and effort that went into it. Really, really great work.
I think this is even understandable for a non gamer, you only need previous knowledge about the task manager lol
What about the ghast rng part? He explained explicitly that it’s not spawned with the seed but it’s random. Then how do we make sure the ghast is exactly there?
@@brownvented6059I'd imagine more than one attempt went into making this run.
I find funny that the end portal is a 0 eye, it's only like a 30% chance that the end portal is a 0 eye. The most common ones are a 1 eye portals (each end frame has a 1/10 chance of spawn with an eye on it)
Maybe some day we'll find a seed like this but with multiple ender eyes in the end portal
@@Sceptonic if we try we'll probably find it, but a 12 eye portal seems unreasonable (and it shockes me that a 12 eye portal and ignoring neather fortress isn't faster). But the time saved per eye is 1/20th of a second, unless they find a 4 or more eye portal, that would mean 1 less duplication (I think, maybe they need to multiply another thing) EDIT: killing blazes is needed because of the end crystal craft, so you can't skip killing blazes
@@ikercalderon163 You need an Eye of Ender for the End Crystal and skipping the dragon is much more crucial to this run. A filled portal would probably save less than a second.
@@Bismuth9 I forgot that eye of ender! A 5 eye portal might save like half a second at best? 1 less blaze duplication and 0.25 seconds less to fill the portal. But probably there aren't seeds as good as this one with a 5 eye portal and structure differences would lose more time for sure
@@ikercalderon163 does the duplication take time though? They all happen when pearls are in flight so he would just sit there twiddling his thumbs if he wasn't duping. So he would probably only be saving 12/20 of a second assuming Dylan was placing the eyes every available tick
When he showed the run the second time, there's just something about the ending and the music that makes me feel sort of a bittersweet ending feeling. It's weird and hard to explain. It's almost as if this was the run to end them all. The completely perfect and unbeatable record. I can just picture people spending countless hours trying to get this perfect run, and now someone finally does. But the final ender pearl throw almost signifies the end of an era which is minecraft speedrunning which gives me this bittersweet feeling. It's done. the ultimate run, achieved. I know this definitely isn't happening anytime soon, maybe not even at all, but I just get this weird feeling that I just thought I'd share. The music definitely adds to that feeling as well. Love the vid Bismuth
13:00 man it's like the inception scene where so muuuuch happens in only a part of a second, crazy!
13:06 note 7.5? normally, you can't open your inventory or use a crafting table or other object with a HUD while in the nether portal, but for some reason, the HUD from an object (not the inventory key) will show up for exactly 1 tick. luckily, inventories are no longer tied to the tickrate (since 1.14), so dylan can do all of this in that one tick. note 7.5.5(?): because the 4 second portal entering animation resets when reloading a world, duping in a nether portal doesn't save any time.
i had wondered why a bunch of wood dropped then, must have been the inventory closing mid craft, thanks for pointing that out
a note is a note, you cant say its a half
based pfp
Well, Xavier "Henry" Willey, h- h- h- h- h- h- h- * Super Minecraft 64 has encountered an unexpected issue *
So if you cut a note in half, you're just making 2 notes and not 2 halves? Woah, that's deep :O
13:32 the way he mentioned the exploding bed is comedy gold for a non-Minecraft player like me 😂
Seeing you go back to more regular speedrun/TAS explainers after the Mario 64 ABC epic really shows how that project has helped you to hone your craft, especially in terms of editing and production. Really great stuff this go around!
We've come full circle, my first exposure to Minecraft speedrunning was your GDQ run back in 2014, and it's amazing to see you covering one of the game's craziest TASes 9 years later. Amazing video!
Nice to see you here
marble man
no way its the classic tetris documenter guy
I'm surprised you did this and I saw this pop up in my recommends 2 minutes after it was released. This is an incredible video.
same
2 minutes? Damn, Dylan already beat Minecraft like 6 times in that time frame
that's pure art... Those speedruns are wonderful, your explanations are clear and passionating, your story telling and "realisation" is very good... I saw 2 vids and directly subscribed. One of the best channel I ever seen, I don't understand how I didn't found it for so long.
Your editing is massively under appreciated, fantastic work!
Excited to see this! Always loved the Minecraft TAS and your channel has always done an outstanding job.
yes
13:39 haha he said the thing
The conclusion with the clarity you have given us with this explanation through re-watching the run is the cherry on top. One of the best videos about speedruns i've watched, great work and thank you!!
This run is insane and the explanation in this video is insanely good. The most mezmerizing part was the ender pearl juggle with all those perfectly timed teleports.
Beautifully produced my dude. I love watching you get better and better at creating these types of videos and manufacturing a compelling narrative. The rewatch at the end is SUCH a satisfying conclusion here - your confidence that we would indeed understand the speedrun now is incredible! Thank you for making this, and cheers to future projects!
yes the ending is SO GOOD
that was a beautiful video. I've seen TAS runs, i've speedran minecraft a lot, but this was relaxing and really interesting in every way, thank you!
One of the best explanations of a speedrun I've ever seen. Incredible work and incredible run!
Such a creative name that pulled me in, seeing a new video from you is always a welcome surprise. keep up the good work man.
Stellar work as always Bismuth. It's very worth noting how all of your videos have properly timed closed captions the moment they are uploaded.

The speedrun is so cool, and the explanation is super helpful and informative, and the music adds so much... I almost cried at the end just from nostalgia. Another banger as always
This explanation is wonderful, and the timing of the music with the end of the video was masterful!
I love your TAS videos! You are so fun to watch!
Your videos*
Minecraft in 20 seconds explained in 20 minutes. Very fitting lol.
1 sec in the vid for every frame of the speedrun lol
And I thought tomato's 50 minute explanation of the 5 minute Hitman run was a good ratio!
yes that is indeed the title
Yeah we read the title.
this is one of the most impressive TAS speedruns i’ve ever seen. i can only imagine how amazing some of these speedruns could be if we had better developed tools for this game
This is just such a well made video, it explains the run so perfectly and understandably
Awesome video as always ! Also the fact that Dylan had to play it (if I understood correctly, the only tool he had was slowing the game time so he had to play the run right ?) is absolutly insane ! I wonder how many tries on this seed before getting this run ! Mindblowing
Yes but the tool also allowed him to savestate, essentially by creating backup saves that he could come back to, so he didn't do it in a single segment. But yes, he did have to "play" at really low tick rates, as opposed to using frame advance.
@@Bismuth9 oh thanks for the precision, this is still very impressive! And thanks for the great content you make!
@@mattreynierberger7529 what's more impressive is actually finding the enderpearl throws and bed boosts, I'm sure he did quite a lot of math to align them properly
@@celivalg yeah indeed this is crazy how he can nail and find all those pearl throws with such a close timing and the insane amount of precision needed!
Why don't they make a tool for tick by tick gameplay? Is it just simply because playing at such a low speed is pretty much 99.9% as efficient anyway?
Your TAS explanation videos are always my favorite.
Damn. This video does a very good job at explaining this awesome TAS. Thank you very much!
I hear that Dream got an even better seed totally legitimately.
(to be fair the issues with Dream were based on mob drops and piglin trading, not world generation. so technically a different value; RNG as he mentions here with the ghast spawning is seperate from the world seed.)

13:25 "Dylan finally lands in the nether" *he took 8 seconds to get there*
For this speedrun, 8 seconds is an absolute eternity
Many people act like TAS and set seed speedruns aren't impressive, but what they don't realize is truly how much work goes into optimizing every thousandth of a second in these types of runs.
Very impressive video! Incredible editing. Brilliant!
I absolutely LOVE how the music synced up with the run at the end! Awesome video and insanely incredible TAS
I can't believe after watching this video, we actually understood the run real-time at the end! Amazing video, amazing work!
Prolly the best minecraft video ive ever watched! Loved this breakdown, and indeed I could actually tell what was happening the second time
“After an excruciatingly long wait,” -Bismuth after Dylan waited for 4 whole seconds
Simply love the way you structure the video and deliver it with good visual reference. Awesome stuff!
That was amazing, thank you for breaking it down! TAS runs are so cool, and I really respect the work that goes into making them.
I really love the little progression graphic you made for this!
what a great TAS! amazing to see the boundaries that can be pushed
9:31 im suprised you explained that really really well without taking 14 minutes!
So happy to hear that good ol' nostalgic RuneScape music! :D
DylanDC14: Hey Dave want to beat the game with me? Dave: Yes, right after these two porkchops are cooked Dylan: Nvm I'm done
This is so incredibly cool! Both the TAS and the explanation
This was FASCINATING! More in-depth explanations of insane TASes like this, please!
Did you have to use Runescape music within the first minute? The nostalgia lol Those are the tracks Harmony, Autumn Voyage and Flute Salad and you beautifully played them on the piano
I was playing Runescape while watching this, got super confused for a second
does someone know where those specific piano arrangements are from?
@@Spyroflexx bismuth can play the piano and probably played them. On previous video he's said he's done all the background music himself
This is one of my comfort videos, whenever I'm feeling down in the dumps I just watch it and it makes me feel a little better
Just an awesome video and very well explained. Great work!
What a brilliant explanation! I'm already too familiar with Minecraft and speedrunning, but I didn't find your in-depth explanations to be boring. Awesome video, and awesome run :)
WOW! I'm amazed by this insane speedrun, but also amazed at how INCREDIBLY you managed to explain and describe it all! This might be the only 20 minute video I watched in full entirety without skipping, this was SO entertaining to watch 💯
Watching this video felt like watching an entire season of Doctor Who, with all these intertwined, overlapping, and precisely-timed events. Amazing analysis, thank you very much for making this! :)
This video was phenomenal. I know almost nothing about Minecraft (or tool assist speedruns) but was invested throughout.
I appreciate you lining up the timing for the piano notes at the end of the run.
Man your videos somehow keep getting better and better. This one's my favorite so far!
You were right, the first time I didn't get it at all, but the second time I was actually able to keep track of everything, amazing video man keep up the great work!
Thank you for the amazing music cover of Minecraft soundtracks! absolutely nailed it!
Love the RuneScape music renditions. Amazing content as always!!!
Just wanted to say, thanks again for such great videos!! I love your dedication to teaching us esoteric speedrunning knowledge
You didn't mention it explicitly but if I remember correctly the reason they don't want you sleeping in the Nether or the End is because respawning there is a quick way to softlock the game
nice pfp
@@RichConnerGMN , Thanks, same to you.

Amazing video man! As a decently experienced Minecraft player, I can appreciate all the same the work you took in making this breakdown beginner-friendly and approachable while still providing detailed insight on the speedrunning tricks involved. Well done.
Probably the best explanation of a Minecraft TAS ever... Thank you for your incredible work!
Fantastic video! Narration and pacing on point as always
Thats the longest nether portal animation has ever felt
It's entirely off topic, but I just want to say how much I adore the piano covers of classic Runescape music. Gives me so much nostalgia it's unbelievable.
Seeing It again at the end of the video but understanding it fully made me feel so fulfilled and kinda gave me chills
Incredible video. Didn't expect Minecraft to be your next video, but I was pleasantly surprised. The rendition of Mice on Venus at the end almost made me tear up.
Theres something delightful about the term "bed assisted throw"
I liked the video for the sheer dedication and in depth analysis of this run. Cheers m8
I forgot you were a former Minecraft set seed runner. I wish I had money, but I'll have to wait for the Minecraft covers to come out, they were really good as always!
It's always an amazing day when Bismuth uploads :0 tas explanations always calm me down, it's just so interesting
Fantastic explanations! Just rewatched first 20 Seconds. Incredible!
Amazing explanation and breakdown of the run!
Really good video! Glad to see that you covered the minecraft TASes, as I've always been really interested in those.
