Speedrun Criteria
Top speedrun seeds need: village -> blacksmith -> lava pool -> fortress near in Nether -> stronghold with complete portal. Tighter elements = faster run. Blind seed WR: ~7 min. God seed: ~3-5 min.
Five Speedrun God Seeds

Speedrun Route & Timeline
Standard Any% pace: 0–2 min loot village blacksmith for iron → fill Eyes of Ender → 3–5 min enter stronghold, find portal → activate → End. Seed #1 saves the Nether trip entirely with its pre-filled 12-eye portal — the key to a sub-3-minute run.
Gear & Techniques
① A bed is the strongest 'bomb' in the Nether/End — place it point-blank to detonate huge damage on the dragon; ② bow+karrows to kite; ③ fire resistance/healing potions for survival; ④ memorize stronghold spawner & portal-room layout to avoid getting lost. Gear needn't be fancy — pace is king.
