THIS HAS BEEN EDITED FOR LIKE 2 MONTHS AND FORGOT TO UPLOAD IT WHOOPS ALSO FOR ANYONE ASKING, ITS THE ACT OF BEING IN THE NETHER THAT GIVES ADVANCEMENTS NOT LIGHTING THE PORTAL

Thanks for the shoutout! This run is incredible, huge props for doing it on the current version, some of those strats are insane!

Thanks for the shoutout! Glad you liked the idea enough to give it a go, and managed to get it even lower!

Smant really went “it’s a surprise tool for later” at his diamond tools like he’s Mickey Mouse

The amount of creativity to avoid getting some of those advancements is actually amazing

Kind of insane to think that only 4 advancements are needed to beat the game, of which all 4 are gained when entering the 2 dimensions

I mean, the fun thing about the "fewest" type categories is that no matter how *long* it takes, so long as you perform or receive fewer of the named thing, you're still "ahead." So, doing it with 4 advancements versus 5 is always an improvement. Neat!

"Why does your resume have no degrees, transferable skills, or work experience to speak of?" "I'm doing a no-advancement run."

Making this a speedrun category would be insane

Finally i can watch you again without getting spoiled

I love how both Rhododo and Smallant thought of this at the same time and handled it completely differently.

"What is wrong with you? Why are you blue?"

After watching Banana & Bread do this, you were the one creator I was hoping would attempt it for yourself, glad to see it happened!

I love to see Banana and Bread being mentioned, those guys are so underrated.

I appreciate you actually putting out a video I can watch. I'm not watching any TOTK stuff until I at least beat ganon, and the rest of the game is usually to interesting to do the main story

I just absolutely love the idea that achievements are just handed out like trash candy to the point where the challenge is to beat the game with the least amount of achievements.

I've always thought a really fun challenge would be to try and get as many advancements all at once, in a row, as possible. Like, the longest chain with only n seconds between getting the next advancement. It's like a minimum advancement run, but with extra interesting routing to what advancements you want to proc early to give access to more advancements to do during the chain It's also fun as a concept because you get to see how the ingame chat gets completely spammed with the advancement get messages - very funny to imagine doing it on a server

Let’s beat the game while beating as little of the game as possible

3:43 as someone who hasn’t played Minecraft in years and just watched this video, I had to do a double take at that chest boat lol

My favorite part was the reference to 0.5 A press watch for rolling rocks. Had me smiling when you explained how you crafted the blaze rods!

397 minutes into less than 10. Wow, I do not envy the editing that challenge run UKpostsrs have to do.

Imagine if ‘taking inventory’ was still in the game

Man this was an idea I had months ago but was too overwhelmed to start, then he goes ahead and does it with only 4! Kudos man 👏🏽

the way you can look on how to beat a game is amazing ! thx for your vids, love u

Imagine if he messed up at crafting the rods and had to redo the last 5 hours

SmallAnt you are ridiculously entertaining, I could watch you sharpen pencils.

7:56 the music is nice, and in this context, it reminds me of those SM64 tas videos with parallel universes.

SmallAnt: Finishes Minecraft after 7 hours while avoiding basicially everything. Me after 7 hours of play: OMG!!! LOOK AT THIS!!! My house is no longer made out of dirt! OMG cobblestone looks sooooo cool!!!

I watched part of this live, and seeing everything done while he’s doing it was insane

The current Low% World Record is 4 Advancements in 2:35:55 by Banana Mate!

2:37 "Wooper Drowned"

@2:25 I used to use that exact crop of the shark and hippo comic as my profile picture and it psyched me out so hard seeing it in the video lmao

When you realise that in 1.8 all you need to do to beat Minecraft without advancements is never crafting a stone pickaxe:

The voiceover is fantastic. The more UKposts-catered content is awesome to see!

7 hours for a run this complex doesn't actually sound that bad. Well done smant!

every time i see one of your videos im reminded why you got so poplular in such a relatively small amount of time. The creativity to solve some problems you encounter is just mind boggeling. truly one of the must big brainded gamers i ve ever watched.

Minimum achievement % is something I thought about last week, and I said to myself "you know what that's a good idea for a run" and little did I know it already existed

im so glad banana and bread got recognition for once

Incredible video, the content is so great, moreover I feel like I understood a lot of new things in storytelling! Also a wonderfull work from the editor Thank you Smallant!

Incredible to watch, but clearly painfully slow to do! I have massive respect for how much patience and creativity it took to complete the run

probably the 2 main things I didn't know before watching this is the crafting trick, and that you can use waterlogged mangrove roots or whatever they are called to 1 cycle the dragon

Dude I have been watching banana and bread for a year they finally get acknowledged

1:11 it's possible to generate a 12 eye portal on a random seed but it's really rare you could win on a lottery 50 times in a row before that happening

Omg, love the kirby song at the end of the video ! thanks for the throwback ;p

SmallAnt is an incredible content creator.

LETS GO ANT, so much respect for your dedication to the challenges you take on. Absolute beast

I love minimum captures in SMO, it's propably my favourite category to watch and I sadly haven't watched it in ages, it's been so long. This totally reminds me of that!

Love this type of obscure challenge videos

When i watched the banana and bread video theorising the lowest possible i was hoping someone would be crazy enough to attempt it for real. I should have known it would be you lmao

"Minimum Advancement runs" Ah yes, the Average Life of a College Student lmfao

Wow, that was amazing. avoiding almost every advancement is just wild. Great job. as a minecraft newbie this confused me but it is truly amazing work

omg the dire dire docks music while explaining the crafting just threw me back to parallel universes

Smallant finally uploading regularly again?! It doesn't get much better than this

The narration style videos are sick! You're real good at explaining things

really enjoy this style of video!

God I love it when Ant does some crazy shit and get a record in it. Love these kinds of vids!!

This is just amazing. Smant is so smart with how he avoids advancements.

YES! BANANA AND BREAD GETTING SOME MORE MUCH NEEDED ATTENTION!

Smallant is way too entertaining, every now and then, I always come back to his channel to watch a bunch of his videos

I’d like to see a run like this not using peaceful mode. Great vid nonetheless

That "And it took 7 hours" reminds me of the time you were doing minimum captures and, I believe, nut jump was discovered. Doesn't matter how much longer you take, if you use one less capture than the others!

"Turning Japanese, I think I'm turning Japanese, I really think so!" "No s*x, no drugs, no wine, no women, no fun, no sin, no you, no wonder it's dark!"

I love the Pannenkoek reference when explaining the advanced game mechanics 7:46

The game trying to figure out how you beat the dragon before mining stone

*Taking Invetory* has entered the chat

Great video! I wish you were making more minecraft content. Keel up the good work and thanks for a great time

Your voiceover voice sounds so different compared to your streaming voice. Like a burly, full-bearded dad, telling stories to his kids. It sounded very prepared, polished, and professional. I think it's the additional texture in the lower frequencies, and the intonation that does it. Also, nice run! Didn't think that few would be possible.

You can beat the game without advancements by playing with achievements instead

1:18 can anyone give me details about how we have some "random number generator range" and how the 12 eye seeds are out of it? i failed to find anything on the internet

at 6:00 i recognized the song from Kirbys air ride, absolutely incredible soundtrack and game. thanks for the nostalgia hit.

amazing work! sucks about the gametick perfect input, makes it a really hard run to do, but still possible

Now, it could be a stretch but there are contraptions involving sand and boats to load chunks through a portal, if you could somehow create a portal frame and have an enderman place a wooden plank next to it, then allow fire to spread to it, technically speaking you could avoid the lighting portal advancement. And if that portal happened to generate right next to a blaze spawner you could use named mobs through the portal to temporarily load the chunks then having a blaze exit through the portal avoiding the nether entirely. Same goes for the end of you complete an end portal and launch named mobs with tnt you could theoretically also beat the dragon without ever even entering the end. Just a thought, in practice I could only see this happening on a set seed with LOTS of time, but it’d be a cool thing to see.

Hmm... I wonder if something like this is possible, but with minimum recipes in the Recipe Book as well. It uses the same system that advancements use, and are technically advancements.

0:41 it's really cool that you shout out the people who inspired you, especially small channels.

7:51 how we crafted stuff without putting it in our inventory before the auto crafter:

Can’t you light a portal with a lava pool and wood ??

I'm a big fan of Low% or whatever the name is for these types of runs. They always force creativity to avoid aspects of the game and not having time be part of the run means that any new strat to avoid something is the meta, no matter how long it takes to do.

My biggest stain on my life is I’ve never defeated the ended dragon on survival

I like how it’s only 1 minutes into the video and it’s obvious you could just do the run with a 12 eye seed, avoiding the next 9 minutes 😆

I would love to see what this would look like in a hardcore run

Combine this with a don't take damage challenge and you'll be the Mr. Beast of minecraft videos

"Do it with even less advancements", SmallAnt *cough* "fewer", Stannis

This man love’s minimalist runs. First min captures now this

Can we all just appreciate the fact that Smant has THE Wooper Minecraft account?

5:10 by using fiire from lava and a wooden block(the skyblock method) you can theoretically light it without getting the we need to go deeper achievement

0:39 hheeey I knew my boy minmax was gonna get recognised

God, impressive, well done that's a really cool way to speedrun ^^

5:10 can u not avoid the flint and steel advancement? I remember seeing people place a wood block next to the nether portal and lighting it on fire using lava in Skyblock. And if that doesn't work u can technically find a trident then find a channelling book and wait for a thunderstorm to hit a creeper next to the portal forcing a lightning strike to ignite it

Music at 6:00 ?

That's crazy and creative. I always have a respect to speedrunner, especially with the crazy kind of challenge

love the pannen style explanation at 7:47

Smant!

The Pannenkoek music at 7:45 gave me a tiny serotonin boost

I love that SM64 File Select has become the go to for providing explanation for glitches.

This is bringing me back to the minimum captures days

I was hoping but not expecting a Banana and Bread mention here!!! So cool!

minimal captures kinda vibes, smant excels at these

Now do it with that datapack that adds a lot of new advancements.

Man...skeleton archers still give me a hard time somwtimes😂 wtf dude. This was awesome.

Feels like a long ad for ur twitch I kinda want to watch it all lol
