His speedrunner instict turned on the second he opened that chest and it made him completely blindside not one but two saddles

Talks about using horses. 5:08 Finds a saddle. Doesn't take it. 5:16 second saddle. Doesn't take it. Takes saddle. Doesn't use it

13:32 Dear editor who lowered the audio during dragon death animation: I appreciate you

Ilumina: Hopefully we can get a saddle *Gets 2 saddles in 2 chests* Me: Why didn't you grab them Illumina: Oh yeah

Not a bad time man! I don't think it's WR; people on my discord have been running superflat speedruns since 1.18.2 dropped. It's such an awesome category.

This was actually possible before in 1.16.1. Floating strongholds did spawn, but you couldn't throw eyes to locate them, meaning you just had to run around until you found them. You could make a nether portal in the end portal room, then collect the materials to beat the game. I have done this in just under 50 minutes on 1.16.1, but it could have been much faster

You actually don't need to go to the overworld to throw your eye. There's an even weirder bug in 1.18.2 that makes a stronghold always spawn at -200 -1688 so you can actually go straight from the nether to the stronghold. Small edit: just as a sanity check, a stronghold also always spawns at 2056 888 which makes me think all stronghold will always spawn in the same locations. Edit 2: I just want to clarify that this is only in super flat. In normal worlds the strongholds generate normally and without fixed coordinates.

I suppose you coulda used the lava to start a fire, then turned it to obsidian and hoped it kept spreading

Illumina never misses, he's just that guy.

I was just thinking "damn i miss illumina" and he provided POG

8:55 "22 minutes, I am at the nether, obviously not optimal" Me who enters the nether in a 1.16.1 world after 30 minutes

Him talking about horses is driving me insane. There was a horse in the first village. Saddles everywhere.

I was resetting for a good seed. Got a blacksmith with 7 obsidian, took the 2 lava found another village with blacksmith I was in at 8 minutes unfortunately I had to walk a lot through the nether but time was : 36:43

It’d be cool if they made floating strongholds a legit super flat structure but like actually decorated to fit the floating theme

A good strat for this is to go stronghold first (you can use 1.16.1 also) by randomly walking around the first ring (it's not too hard) and then making a nether portal in the end portal room

for memory, don't know how long ago, you old customise superclass with structures and biomes. I remember making one, and there was ice biomes and stuff. you can make lava lakes, ponds and caves. sorta odd for a superflat

I remember in old gen console you could make a superflat world with generate structures and you could find any structure, I'd see strongholds like that all the time the only problem with beating the game on them though is that the nether is flat too and fortresses wouldn't spawn

You technically could have placed lava on top the portal and let it flow down. But you would need to get lucky and have the portal light before the lava finishes falling.

Why didn't you use ocean strat???

im flattered

Now this is the one record someone can hold forever when it gets patched

I am really liking those mini time-lapses and the jazz in the background.

and today I speedran liking the video

A brazilian youtuber, voidAppend, has done this before but, in a really different way, this is so cool too

Wait till Illumina speedruns rsg + superflat + adventure mode

My best run so far was 39:25, but i got 3 blacksmiths off the bat so i guess the runs are kinda based on luck

yeah do more of these please. i wanna know how fast you could get with a good seed in superflat

This video almost feels satirical, but then it wrapped back around and was just Illumina having fun, chatting to his viewers. Good vid!

7:53 he says a no-no word

Illumina doesn't know, but an brazilian youtube void appened, made a superflat world before him

most GIGACHAD run ever, totally NOT carried by rates, floating stronghold, superflat world, more well deserved world record run than Nerdi, go on illu, keep up the good work WidePogMan

just make the portal with 1 obsidian missing, then use the last lava to light one of the planks, and quickly change the lava into obsidian and make sure the fire keeps spreading

Pretty sure I saw a video that said that there was a previous version that had strongholds but you couldn’t use eyes of ender so the only way to find them was wandering around the rings until you got lucky

Illumina is so good that he can just go and invent new speedrunning categories to pile on world records.

ILLUMINA VIDEO LETS GO

Pretty good time tbh bro, not WR pace but keep practicing and posting your times man. Definitely an enjoyable video to watch, I’ll def sub to you.

the myth the man the legend is back everybody :)

Legacy Console players seeing a flying stronghold: Hey, I've seen this one! IlluminaHD + Java Players: What do you mean seen it? It's brand new!

Illumina: talks Me: :o mrbeaatttt

To those who don't know, it was a planned out speedrun, 1 dead give away was the loading screen at the start, every ligitament speedrun has a loading screen that doesn't load the map from the direct center of the square.

Just imagine how much of a time save there could be if he spawned in a village with blacksmith and the chest containing iron and like 9 obi

I love you Illumina keep up the frickin amazing speedruns love this content so much!

Flint:some villagers will trade it. Iron:village chests.

“Someone in the comments” pointing out the saddles and horses is a bit of an understatement. More like “somemany”

The G.O.A.T of speedrunning got another World record

Something that superflat would allow you to do is get slime blocks easily, especially from iron golems killing slimes, because then you have an insta-mine block that negates fall damage in all dimensions. And yeah, you can't really speed bridge with it but it's not the kind of block you'd want to bridge with anyways Also, finding a ruined portal is huge. They do spawn, but I don't know how you didn't stumble upon one. I recently started a superflat survival world and I found like 2. I actually found one of them before I found obsidian in blacksmiths and I already had a diamond pick from trading so that's how I managed to get in the nether

there *is* a way you could light a portal with 4 lava buckets and 6 obsidian: Convert all the lava except for one to make a portal, then place the remaining lava next to a wood block in the portal and wait for the wood to catch on fire. once it does, convert your remaining lava to obsidian to complete the portal frame and once the wooden block disappears you got yourself a working nether portal.

Funfact: On the old Playstation 4 edition you could edit superclass to spawn with trees, strongholds and even desert temples.

This category is gonna go a long way, I can feel it.

“thx dream for the video idea” please collab again 😭

With 6 obby and 4 lavas, you could fire a wood block with lava then while it's burning you could turn that lava into a obby and boom you have a portal

About the "One Block at a Time" version... it could've been possible then. Since you can go to the Nether in superflat, and you can get end portal frames from nether fortress chests, you could go to the End dimension. If I'm missing something big, you can gladly correct me in replies.

I remember finding a stronghold in a flat world by accident, version 1.5.2... Ah, these old days

Hire dream as an idea consultant to reach 5 million subs before you know it.

This guy is making slimes sound more evil than creepers.

Illumina: In 1.18.2 superflat worlds have a bug that makes strongholds generate in them Me: *Laughs in console edition*

Looks like tomorrow is a good day to speedrun

I remember playing superflat on Xbox 360 when I got bored. It had almost every structure possible able to spawn, so you could Speedrun that, but controller is terrible. 🙂

Him:how can I lit a portal The lava buckets in his inventory: what are u doing

The way to light the portal with 4 lava and 6 obsidian would be to create a long fuse of flammable blocks, and put the end of the fuse next to the portal. You would use the lava to light the fuse but once it’s lit, you can pick it up and have enough to create the frame

Damn how do you come up w/ all these cool ideas?? Great job

Illumina, what is the seed for that first world you showed? It looks beautiful!

Illumina- gets amazing enderpearls and blaze drop rates Couriway- HES CHEATING

Does this glitch with the floating stronghold also work in the newer versions?

I wanna see more of this haha its awesome

5:17 you didnt take the saddle

SO EPIC! Thanks Illumina, that was fun to watch :D

"speedbridging through the stronghold" sounds like an awesome new strat

I like how he talks about all the generation in 1.18, then he completely ignores it

This legend really makes new and impressive content for all of us to get away from boredom Edit: One year later, i came to know that i got 43 likes, wow

i like the video's editing. Well done to the editor!

Illumina: Where are the saddles me: there

Would it be cheating to use custom superflat generation to get resources? Since you can set each layer to any block, I think that would be a good strat if its legal in the speedrun

Illumina : sub 50 not good but not bad either me : * just happy with my 2 hour run *

dude that just hit me with a blast of nostalgia this used to be a bug on Minecraft PS3 edition and I remember encountering this in a world with my friends

I just saw someone come out as gay

Only way of lighting the portal early I can think of is by using lava to light a strip of wooden planks, then quickly build the portal by using that same lava and turning it into ob without stopping the fire advancing

you could light some wood or a house on fire with the lava before fully completing the portal (probably against the same house) then while the fire spreads on the house complete the portal and have the fire spread to light it

First

unblock your nose bro

Tomorrow is a great day to speedrun this category

A portal can be lit with flammable blocks running from lava to the portal, if flint& steel can't be found.

The potential is insane

Petition to make this a category

12:45 I remember old superflat world which has mineshafts in mid air when loading in a desert superflat , such a nostalig wiev

He's really terrified of these slimes 🤣

You could use lava to light planks then make the portal with said lava and wait for the planks to light the portal

Theres actually a way to woodlight previously. Set fire first use lava for obbi use the previous fire to woolight

This Is Awesome! This is probally the world record Nice work!

Love the video. Hope to see more of this in the future.

Technically it's the first ever *glitchless* superflat speedrun.

its so cursed when a stronghold generates in a superflat world.

You could use a lava bucket to light a fuse that will eventually light a portal, and then use the lava bucket to make the last obsidian you need.

I've played two different mod packs recently and so went to end two times. Somehow there's always was empty portal with no eyes both in 1.12.2 and 1.16.5 mods

It is possible to speedrun this on the original xbox one version of minecraft using a customized superflat world (you can choose how many layers and what structures spawn, including the stronghold)

I'd love to see Illumina challenge himself instead of doing just regular minecraft speedruns, definitely wanna see some more superflat speedruns

@IlluminaHD Wouldn't it be possible if you used the lava to light the wood then while it was still lit make the final piece of obsidian? (For the Lighting the portal moment when he had no flint and steel)

Illumina: OMG, FIVE BLAZE RODS. every bedrock player: lol

Minecraft players : yay new snapshot Illumina : yay a new record
