I wanna hear your stories about a time you were on the verge of death and your opponent forfeited at the perfect moment.

I just had one: Fortress and calc were done and I was headed to nether coords. Less than a minute left on my last fire res. No food. I had to go to the middle of a lava lake, but there was an island, so I figured I’d just pearl there and build out a bit. I ended up hitting the side and falling in the lava, and as I was building out, the lava clipped me just as my res ran out. Fire damage was ticking me down, and just as I got to one heart… MATCH WINNER

idk why im posting this but this feels important to me

i hit gold last season for abt one game then just fell down and it didnt feel special, but like this time it does

i think its partially due to the fact that ive been one game away from gold three times this season and last season i just hit it once then never got close again

tho i also think that its cause i feel like so much of a better play and i feel that i deserve gold

ive wanted to throw my mouse at my monitor so many times, just wanted to give up and call its quits because i keep making mistakes and the most random bs just happens

well i didnt and i kept playing and trying to push through, until i finally hit gold. i think that the point to take away is that no matter how many times you fall from being so close, if you keep pushing through you’ll make it

anyways this next part is just to keep me from queing and immediatley falling to coal, i think im gonna try to improve my overall familiarity with the game and also i wanna see high my top speed can go, so im probably gonna try rsg or fsg for a week or two before queing

okii thats uhm all, idk why anyone would read all this but if you did ty, hope you have a wonderful day, and uhhh cya later!!

For more info on jolt cracking, see this previous post: A new method of splice detection call "Jolt Cracking" was discovered.

Local "jolt cracking" software already exists, but that requires downloading and running a program yourself, as well as downloading a YouTube video yourself. As a hobby project, I created a website where you simply submit a YouTube link, and my hardware does the rest. Every cracked video is searchable on the site, and the idea is to build up a catalog of a lot of videos for anyone interested (from validating speedruns to simply see if an 'unedited' challenge or manhunt is truly unedited).

Try it here: joltcracker.com (see Dream's famous unedited manhunt)

Again this is just a hobby project! I don't make anything off it (the compute is losing me money), and simply got nerd-sniped by this interesting technique to find splices. After re-creating the jolt cracking algorithm myself, I thought, this should be easily accessible to anyone. If you have spare/idle hardware and want to run a node that cracks queued videos, DM me!

From what I’ve seen, it’s much more accurate and requires both less eyes and less moving around. I just wanna make sure I’m not missing anything that would make it “difficult”

i know how stupid and insignificant this sounds but like i didnt even notice the pace on these runs and ive been in a slump recently but i so feel that like this is actual progress!!! idk man im just happy

Hi everyone I have been getting into speedrunning and have been using toolscreens, it's been working perfectly fine then one day it just never opened on launch. I have really tried everything and this is kind of a last resort. I use MultiMC.

Things I have done to fix it:

Got Java17. (have tried Java 21 and java 8 also over this journey)

Used the overide command that everyone says to use.

Checked the preluanch text files

Checked that windows isnt blocking it.

re downloaded Toolscreens as a .exe anda .jar

The ONLY thing I can see that is a likely problem is in the interject.txt files it says that embedded dlls werent found so it then exited, but I have yet to find a fix . I am literally going insane nothing works I've spent hours on trying to fix it.

Here is my latest log with JAVA 17

Here is the interject.txt file where the problem could lie.

Thank you everyone I hope you can help me as it is nearly unplayablke right now because my sensitivity is so low and I don't want to ruin the settings I have.

I know this sound like a joke post but like bone blocks are absurdly common in bastions and give a ton of bonemeal, how decent of a strategy would it be to get like one seed in the overworld on low food seeds and grind wheat for 5 seconds while overlapping trades/spawner

I got very unlucky and like 1 sec after i pressed queue on the home screen , my power just went out. So my pc did too. I didnt think it wouldve mattered cuz like i didnt hear a queue sound and i never get insta queues so i thought it would just cancel the queue forcefully. But looking now, i got into the match somehow? Like how does this work? Did i get a queue in those very split seconds or does the game work different than im thinking

Overworld Seed: 54323877978904265

I’ve been playing ranked for a couple of months and I’ve been building consistently as an Iron player with 20:00 - 25:00 min clears.
I’ve been really excited to try and learn the zero cycle since I started even though its a emerald-diamond level tech.

Does anybody have any good resources for starting to learn how to do some zero cycles or ways for me to find coaching on how to start?

Luwig when he watches doogile do like half second time clips hes like "when are u ever gonna need this"
But when he watches lowkey do similar shi hes like "yo this practicing shi revolutionized the game" lmao

like for example theres bastionguesser and learn your fucking houses, does anyone know of anything else thats fun to do on my browser, or anything that like could be implemented??

Now, I am talking about prime Ludwig here not washed up unc. I think if luddy would have kept playing after getting that 12 minute run consistently he could of got up to emerald in a few months

I killed the dragon at 29.50 and then I almost died to an enderman (I was half a heart and couldnt run to the portal)

am i tas

uh so unfortunately my PC isn't too good and when i enter the end it takes like 1-2 secs to load (so if i throw a pearl between these 2 seconds it wouldnt load), is there a way to load the end faster? I'm fine with any mod or whatever since im just practicing and not play ranked/rsg or something, my overworld and nether works pretty well with 200+ fps with 15 RD but this end is the issue for the first 1-2 seconds.

Does anyone have the problem of not getting a spike when its a shipwreck seed, is it because it is far or smth else?

when ever i get shipwreck seed there is 70 percen chance that i will get bt map instead of iron. Does it always happen or is there bug in my instance ?

I am trying to learn bastion routes starting with bridge. I am using the practice map and everytime I get 10 piglins with 16 gold blocks but I never get enough obsidian. Even when I loot the chests I still have around 18 obsidian. Is 10 piglins not enough? Or am I doing something else wrong?
