Hello! As some of you have pointed out, this forum and leaderboard has been rather inactive as of late. I recently became a moderator of this game, and have made the following changes:
-
Removed redundant leaderboards The original leaderboards were just cloned from Diversity 2, a completely separate game that is not compatible with Diversity 1. We had impossible categories, poorly defined rules, and general confusion among runners. The new leaderboards have been changed to reflect what is possible and what isn't possible within Diversity 1. Our knowledge of the game does continue to increase, so if you find something new that you think warrants a new category, post it in the forums and I'll look at it.
-
Verified runs There was a large pile up of runs for several months that nobody was dealing with. The other two moderators for this game appear to be inactive, so I'll be handling future verifications too.
-
General moderation in the forums The forums will be cleaned up, and questions will be answered. Additional rule clarification will be posted below:
Any% is now defined as:
Timing starts on movement and ends upon respawning on top of the wall facing the Diversity logo.
Glitchless is now defined as:
Timing starts on movement and ends upon respawning on top of the wall facing the Diversity logo. You may not use any glitches in Minecraft.
These do NOT qualify as glitches, and are allowed according to the rules of the map: -- Jumping through the walls in the third section of the Labyrinth Branch. -- Jumping into the redstone below the Boss Battle Branch and altering the contents of the hopper to skip fighting the Witherboss.
- Added new misc. leaderboards
No Exploits: This category is one for people who don't want to use exploits in the map that otherwise don't violate the rules of the map or are glitches in Minecraft.
No Freebie: Self explanatory, complete this without getting the freebie wool. All Branches must be completed.
- Clarifying the rules for Level Leaderboards All Level Leaderboards work as follows: Complete the Branch, timing starts on first input after teleporting, timing ends upon teleporting out when you get the wool. You may NOT use commands, go into creative, or bring anything with you.
That is the "No Freebie" misc. category. Already a thing, but thanks for thinking of it anyway!
No, because the Map rules ALWAYS apply. Breaking blocks inside the lobby etc. was never an exploit or glitch, but a fundamental rule of the map that must not be broken.
The current rule is worse than Diversity 2 rule in some way. No more detail since Cavin will again abuse the word "rule"
