Historic Record
Speedrunner CakeFrog set a new Java random-seed WR at 6m58s — the first player to break the 7-minute barrier. Previous record was DreamX's 7m12s (June). CakeFrog's run has been verified by speedrun.com.
Record-Breaking Strategy
A textbook run: spawned in a cherry village (1.22 new terrain), used 1.22's villager trading for quick ender pearls, got lucky with Nether route (bastion adjacent to portal), destroyed all end crystals in 9 seconds. Flawless execution.
The Record Progression
A landmark moment in the speedrun record lineage: from DreamX's 7m12s (June 2026) to CakeFrog's 6m58s (August 2026), the 7-minute barrier fell within just two months. The community credits 1.22's archaeology gold blocks and dense cherry villages as the key advantages. The next milestone — 6m50s — is already being chased.
