I am brand new to the speedrunning community around this game but I've been playing the game for nearly 10 years now. I was wondering what categories would be best for getting started as a part of this community?

OK

For a start, bedrock servers can be more stable than java servers. Most lag comes client-side or from connection. Anyone serious about this game would be able to get a wired connection set up quite easily.

The only other problem is a host. There are 5 major server groups who might be willing to host such an event. Anyone who would like this type of event may want to speak with such servers. My suggestion is cubecraft. With a large server infrastructure and plenty of builders and command block whizzes to get something like this up and running.

Finally, they will want testers. I'm sure our fine group of competitive players on speedrun.com can supply ;)

K thx

Are we allowed to view the seed after the run is complete?
