There is already a board specifically designed for april fools snapshots at https://www.speedrun.com/mc_af , I recommend opening a thread there.
Watching runs can really help to show the strats that ppl come up with for builds.
The simulators can be accessed from this video:
The discord isnt linked to src for whatever reason but you can join it here: https://discord.gg/6JnDUqx
I also plan to make a video going in further detail on how to play competitively for newer people, I just havent gotten around to doing it yet. Hopefully this helped :p
This is the longest recorded match i believe.
i did this dupe glitch with an enter nether run way back but instead of clicking off the game i just pressed escape at the perfect timing to do the same thing ;o
Dolphie explained it pretty well, but if you preform well in game with other good players or show off a run in singleplayer that is similar or better than the wr of that build than there is a high likelihood you will get accepted as well. Also a lot of players gloss over inconsistencies with times and builds when photoshopping that are pretty easy to spot if someone looks over it.
