In preparation for the release of the new updated map, the previous map and its runs have been moved to the legacy subcategory. All runs on this version should be submitted in legacy.
The Java and Bedrock categories are for the new map.
Ironman mode is a setting you can enable on profile creation. Here are the limitations the mode provides. -Auction House and Bazaar are disabled -Trading is disabled between players (except your coop members) -Picking up items from other players is disabled (except your coop members) -Dropping items to other players is disabled (except your coop members) -Cannot receive Winter island gifts from other players -Ironman players have an icon next to their name
Here is a vote for whether Ironman mode is allowed in speedrunning. https://www.strawpoll.me/21188580
Here is another poll for if Ironman is allowed (as determined by previous poll) should it be mandatory in new runs (some categories exempt such as ones that allow existing profiles like dungeons or runs which require bazaar like obtain diamond - bazaar). https://www.strawpoll.me/21188589
As always feel free to discuss here or in our discord: https://discord.gg/vskJtfR
The chat message at the end of this run says 2:30.55 which would be 2:30.550 not 2:30.055 https://www.speedrun.com/mcwipeout/run/mrkdw6dy
I have updated the rules to make them more consistent between the categories.
Old rules: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xf0Ab8ckkDXHS21dRl8UDHjO5RBh1FJydQsPtz-VKwc/edit?usp=sharing
New rules: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cGxkT053U5SZ3KxRCYRPgM2OW6ZFCLa80yTLnvEO0pw/edit?usp=sharing
The results of the poll are clear that we should only remove certain runs from the board. Feel free to discuss here what level of scrutiny we should have towards our runs.
A few options are rejecting only the WR spot (iEric's run), or rejecting the top 3 (iEric, Gardevoir, and RomPais.) If there are any other options you would like to discuss please bring it up.

Here are the poll results
There are four options on this poll.
Option A: Leave as is. Runs before the given date were grandfathered in.
Option B: Remove only certain runs. Remove certain runs. This can be all top three runs without video evidence, or just WR, or any number of runs without video evidence.
Option C: Remove all runs. Remove all the runs using the hypixel stats website. (Note this is most of the runs on the board)
Option D. Hide all runs. Currently the runs that used the stats website are marked as EMU so we can identify them easier. We can hide EMU runs by default so the runs are still there but you have to enable EMU to see them.
https://www.strawpoll.me/20164251 This is the poll, if we do not have a clear consensus we will remove the 2 lesser voted options and remake a poll. If option B is voted we will decide which to remove and which to keep after the vote(s).
We are removing Obtain Diamond - With Auction due to diamonds no longer being able to sell on the auction house. Here was the leaderboard before removal.
Until the 20% xp boost is removed, runs which involve gaining skill xp to unlock areas will need to account for the boost and mine/obtain extra items.
If you have questions feel free to ask here or on our discord: https://discord.gg/S2B8EUk
Thank you to everyone who voted in the poll yesterday. Due to the community vote we have decided to ban the use of /visit during speedruns.

Post any category suggestions (new categories/changes to existing categories) here.
Today marks the day that SkyClash was shut down. Because of this, no more runs will be accepted for this game. Thank you.
People have been wondering if being in a party is allowed for any runs. Up until now we have not been rejecting runs for the players being in a party. I suggest that we keep this like it is, however, private games should not be allowed for speedruns. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns contact me or one of the other mods. This should not change anything unless you are playing in a private game with MVP++. EDIT: All Deaths can not be played in a party
MESSAGE TO MODERATORS OF SKYWARS/BEDWARS ONLY For Bedwars and Skywars when people submit runs with the hypixel stats page (for example this run here https://www.speedrun.com/sky_wars/run/z13p0q9m ), the stats website will delete the run after about 1 month. This prevents the run from being viewed by anyone. Also we have no way of knowing if they were cheating in any way on the server even though that is most likely a minor issue for this speedrunning category. Should we require video proof for runs?
I dont understand what this category means... does this mean how many total wins you have in skywars?
Does the timer stop when I put the sword in my inventory or when I open a chest with a fire sword? If it is when i open a chest that has a fire sword in it please edit my Fire Sword run to 14.275
