Finally a tips and tricks video that doesn't tell me how sprint jump
Lol
Other KZheadr tips : Sprint and jump under a tree leaves 🤣🤣
If you hold left you can break a tree much faster than if you right click
lol

It's so wholesome how he gives shoutouts to a lot of other good speed runners even though he is the current world record holder. Nice to see that the community support each other
Many places you'd see people intentionally leave out other people to centralize the popularity on themselves, super glad to see someone who isn't in it for the fame but for their love of speedrunning!

2:50 I do know the science, and it's really simple, when you hold up your shield blazes can fire at the block you're standing on and there can't be fire on a block that already has a fence
That and what I mentioned in my comment, with the in game mob aim Error Percentage with aiming, which becomes more drastic with further distances.... Which means when the look up aka at a Diagonal Angle this means by definition it is further in distance because (√a^2+b^2)=C Therefore you lower there aim accuracy drastically via making them look up like that
@@shadow15kryans23 wut
@@HelloIAmAnExist In laymans terms with mobs like a Blaze which have lower accuracy scores... When you make them look diagonally aka up or down, this makes said fireball travel a further distance... Sooo, If your 2 blocks in distance from them on X axis, and make them look diagonally aka 45 degrees up due to pythagrea's thoerom (√a^2 + b^2) = C This makes said fireball travel (√2^2 + 2^2) = 6 blocks of distance EVEN THOUGH It looks like 2 blocks of distance... Therefor allowing said error percentage offset to amplify by 3x in this example... ^ (Edited in Sidenote: Now this isn't a PERFECT number, since after all sometimes they can float over the ground AND have there heads 2 blocks from the ground.... Which means you would have to be 4 blocks up for them to look up a 45 degree angle in actuality.. Sooooo, This is an amplified example purposely to get point acrossed. It would be more like a 1.25x - 1.5x aka 25% - 50% higher chance to miss with the one block your standing on.) This is a natural result of this diagonal movement. Because, You given said Fireball more chances to go off course since it traveled a further distance going diagonal, which gives more chances to miss compared to the same 2 block distance when going straight.... Therefor more opportunities to miss, directly translates to higher likelyhood for said mob to miss you with said fireball, ESPECIALLY with blaze's lower usual accuracy... Therefore Helping to Decrease the chance of getting hit and lit on fire
^ That and of course the fact it is harder to light the ground on fire with those fences there when looking up at an angle + Less Directions/Angles for them to hit you at which increases effectivity of shield, since you have your back, and sometimes sides being protected by the fences....
Sooo, The 3 things that make that method useful summarized is: #1: Block Can't lite on fire since the fence is there, AND since it's harder to lite something at an angle #2: Pythagrea's Theorom Implies Diagonal Angles of any type/angle = More Distance, therefor this directly coorelates to a Higher Chance for the Blaze to Miss you #3: Back and sometimes sides is protected increasing shield effectivity
2:32 the shield always work, but sometimes the fire will hit the ground underneath you, that's when you get hit. That strat he mentioned works because the block you're standing on is occupied by the fence and can't be lit. 28:46 if you reduce your render distance to 2 chunks when approaching the monument, the guardian will never hit you with mining fatigue because its chunk will not be loaded. That way you won't need cow nor luck.
The second one really helped me, thank you
"That way you won't need cow nor luck." this sentence is good lol
also just use tnt + sand when getting the gold, that is if you have some

yea he's humble but btw i think he's not #1 anymore abdron got a sub 20
Actualy he did
Still humble though

Your WR run inspired me to try and speedrun Minecraft. I am not trying to be a new WR, but to check how fast I can do it. My best one yet is 5 hours..
Mine is never loo
0:33 "If we would hit 10K subs by the new year": Over 25K subs on Christmas Day
5k subs in a day lol going strong
85k rn
he probably didnt expect to be at 100k 2 months later lmao
You hoped one person learns at least one thing...I think I learned 15 things! Thank you very much!
well hello there foolish from dream smp
16:45 Pink sheep on the right side of the screen lol
Don’t forget to install the mod that lets you get higher pearl trade and blaze rates!
mean dream's pack?
thanks, now my pb is 19 minutes
You for real? Is that allowed or am I gonna get whooshed? Please don't f me up I'm genuinely curious cuz those goddamn piggys hate me with pearl trades
@@blazestarthekiller3919 nah it’s cheating lol. You’re definitely not allowed to tamper with stuff within the game code. Dream did that and it kinda shits on all the legit runners’ grind
@@lunatik8272 dream did? Sorry man, could you just clarify cuz if he did I'm pretty sure his runs wouldn't be allowed
Just an extra tip, if you see a Monument, look at it, turn your render distance all the way down and you wont get hit by the Mining Fatigue. That can save a lot of time if you dont have enough iron for a bucket or dont see a cow immediately! :)
oooh ok!
29:20 is that a texture pack that disables the elder guardian jumpscare thing? If so where can i find it because it seems epic

This is the first good full speedrunning guide I find on youtube, and it's done by the wr holder, not someone who just wants attention because of the speedrunning hype... its nice to see! And I learned like 21 things :)
A small tip I have: if you think your water might be glitched, swapping it to your offhand and back will update the item's appearance. I prefer this to placing and picking it up because that method has the potential to glitch a non-glitched bucket. (Disclaimer, I don't speedrun minecraft, I've just spent enough time working with water on an SMP for this to have been an issue)
this is a great tip! I actually started doing this about a week ago and its amazing
Never heard of glitched water, what is it?
@@jacksonpercy8044 Sometimes the client thinks it picked up water and displays the bucket as full in your inventory, but the server thinks you didn't so when you go to place the water it immediately disappears. It's a lot more common on servers (especially with lag) but can also happen in singleplayer
Anyone else like Couri a lot? 😁😁😁 Thanks for the video man.
amazing video, lots of awesome tips for all skill levels of speedrunners!
Thank you Couriway! First sub 20 scored! 19:38 precisely 😁 also thank you for recommending T-Wag’s channel! Props to you guys for sharing all the tips and tricks! Great community ngl 😊
I love how you, T_Wag, K4yfour and the other really good runners are getting a lot of new strats and teaching everyone how to do it, makes me love more and more this community
Really loved your video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience :3
Really great video! With the meta changing so fast I hope you make more of these videos - I know I personally don't have time to watch streams so it's hard to know what's going on!
2:28 I'm pretty sure the reason this works is that the blaze can only "hit" you when blocking by setting the block below you on fire, which isn't possible when there is a fence on top of the block you're standing on.
can't wait for your streams! Been absolutely loving your vids, you are next level my friend
This was really, really well made and explained. I’m excited to see u speed run live.
Also another tip: If you are in a Nether Fortress and you are in the room with the single piece of lava, blaze spawners appear on the side where are NOT stairs. So when you are in the single piece of lava room and on one side you will see stairs going up or down, there will NOT be any blaze spawners
If I remember correctly, it's about the exposed part of the fortress being connected to the closed part? I haven't heard anything of the stairs but I have heard of the fact that the blaze spawner only spawns in places exposed and never directly by an enclosed area
@@legend644 yeah, that’s the same. Just the enclosed area without stairs - blaze area
Thanks man looking forward to ur stream!
for those unaware - you can now lower your render distance to 2 to avoid mining fatigue when looting monuments. credit: ninjabrain1
Bro I swear this Video will blow up I got this recommended and though it had like 6 digit views already, but I am pretty sure it will one day! keep up the good work :)
Great video!! I am just starting to speed run and I think it is a lot of fun. Thank you for making this video. It really helped me out. I needed more help for the end, and this gave me that help.
This was a great video, keep it up youre gonna go far. Ill definitely need to learn to one cycle so this was helpful
I recently got a personal best of an hour and a half, and I think these types of videos will help me bring it down to my next goal of under an hour! Great work!
The blowing up desert temple and 4 4 strat helped me a lot! Thanks Couriway!
This is so well put together and really helpful! Thank you!
I'm watching this even though I haven't seen the end portal yet nor found the nether fortress skskksk
Thanks!! I want to start and especially the cod strats helps so much
8:40 the math in question is Pythagoras's theorem. The distance to the origin is sqrt(x²+z²)
THIS VIDEO IS SO GOOD. This taught me soo much and it's all explained really clearly. I'm currently watching all your videos because I've found out how incredible they are. :)
Love you Couri! Cheering for you man. 😁👍
"emma's epic end practicerer" is outstanding, you can use any set up ( block placement) and its super easy to get the world and play it. 10/10 would recomend, it absolutely aids in ones one-cycling practice
yeah, this is what i needed.. i didn't get the 4 4 strat previously.. thank you helps a lot..
Your channel grew fast, congrats on the success!

This video really helped me, thank you so much
Great video :D the treasure chest being on 9x9 actually helped me :D also ill try the north/south perch next time i get into the end :D
I'm confused on what he means by block 9 9 🤔. Can you explain??? I understood all tips, but this one.
Oh shiz I feel stupid.... I just got it clarified and i just realized he means chunk Block 9 x 9, not just "block 9x9" 🤦
Hi Couriway! This has been a great help to me on my runs.
The intro is so pog
I was waiting for this. :)

Thank you so much this helped so much
Thanks for the video! I've learned a lot. The pyramid strat surprised me the most tho :D
Thank you!Couriway!!
congrats on the wr! this video helped me a lot
Learning about lava pools generating more often under water lakes was definitely my favorite tip.
thanks for the tips couriway! subbed
Man this is an awesome video and I love it, I have been having massively bad luck with my runs so they r normally 1hr+ but this will help SO much thank you ill tell you all my new time from this.
this is really helpful! thank you for making this video

I just started doing runs and this is SO helpful
That Desert Temple strat is so simple and saves so much time, but I hadn't even thought about it earlier. Will absolutely do this the next time I get the chance. Super helpful video for trying to work towards sub 25!
Glad I could help!
Thank you this was very helpful I got my first sub 30 run with this
Great video man!

I needed this very much
underrated KZheadr!! great content keep it up
Cool video bro thanks for the tips
Learned a lot man! thanks for the resources also ♥
Just leaving a comment to let you know I learned a lot from the video and think you're a pretty awesome dude, congrats on the world record runs!
“If we were able to hit 10k by the new year, that would be nuts” Oh how the times have changed 😂
Thanks, I’m new to Java, I played a lot on Minecraft pe, but I was never really able to try speed running, so I’m excited to try it on the pc with these tips
Yes, I got to the end of the video. I’m starting to get into speed running, so videos like this helps me a lot. I really like your knowledge of game mechanics and structures (like how the starter staircase is at 4 4 and buried treasure is at 9 9). Thanks for the tips :)
Hold up... When he means 9 9 does he mean Chunk Block 9 9 instead of just block 9 9??? He worded it in a way that confused me LOL.
omg i wanted this

Very informative video, and from the man himself! It's a crime this doesn't have more views
It was all very useful. Not sure I'm ever going to make a great speed runner, but I'd like to try. This gives people like me a fighting chance.
