so I got a notification today about a new wr run in any% random seed glitchless by m8use for 13:04. I realized it was his past run but when you click on it there is no video and it's by an anonymous speedrun.com account. his youtube channel is deleted as well. So, why? He no longer has his WR run, no longer has his youtube channel, out of the deep blue

yeah what happened to me once is I hit the boomer guy grabbed the boomer crouched and shot at my feet and it clipped me through to the ending u shaped thing I wasn't recording but if you can consistently do that and get a better angle it might save enough time for a new wr

didnt this guy like... cheat?

Congratulations to S the new mod. He has some pretty sick runs too.

I hate when people are jerks to mods, they do this for fun and people are still jerks

i think if people used cheats a ton of people would... cheat

as for the questions you posed, wood doesn't matter at all. You want to go to the nether when you have food, beds, stone tools, some blocks, and the things required to make a portal. as for One cycling, its tough for beginners, try to bring at least 7 beds and be patient with them, don't do it too soon, wait till they are doing their third to last spin on the perch. one thing I forgot to mention in the first post, if you know exactly what chunk the spiral stairs are in, you can find your chunk coords, go to the middle of the chunk and fall right through.

A big tip is to learn how to navigate in the nether, bastions fortresses and how to find them, try to travel across flat surfaces like soul sand valleys or wastelands. also know which quadrant to be looking in. if you are at a Bastian near the origin go to the opposite quadrant to find the nearest nether fortress(for example Bastian at -,-, go to +,+) when you are in a nether fortress to find the spawner always go directly away from a staircase with nether warts and always go up staircases without them. this puts you in the right direction. on top of that know how to find a stronghold. remember that the closest strongholds are at 1408 2688. you always need to be traveling away from the origin to reach these coordinates quickly. Random nether travel is important too. since you know him, Dani uses a technique in which he finds the angle of which the eye travels which tells him about how far away the stronghold is. for beginners though the best strategy is triangulation, throw an eye go towards it but also slightly to the side then go far to the side and throw another eye. where the two lines from the eyes meet is the stronghold

They spawn quite a bit in deserts, but they spawn in any biome (except for the rare weird ones but those have no speedrun capability). the ones that are open are the ones you are more likely to see a lava pool. all the answers above are helpful, especially the ocean one, I recommend practicing building underwater portals. also if you see a tree burning there is a lava pool there.
