Why are you reading the bottom of the description? lol.

A lot of you have pointed out an easier method for triangulation at 9:30. If you do 4 sprint jumps (instead of 5) the math is 1000/angle change = distance in blocks. Much easier.

This video is just as useful for normal minecraft as well. Being able to locate nether fortresses and bastion in normal survival is extremely useful.

For anyone wondering:
5:18 Manipulating gamma in the game files is allowed, because you could just increase gamma on your monitor/display manually.

[mooing_cowmilk]

One thing to point out. This is for 1.16 minecraft java, and some of these facts no longer work in later versions. For example, with the deep dark the brightness (gama), the game no allows any value higher then 1.

4:07 you can do something similar in real life with seeing things in the dark. There are more rods than cones in the peripheral zone of your retina which can let you see better in low light conditions if your eyes haven't had time to adjust to the darkness yet.

If you want to speed up your gravel breaking, go right up against a block at hip height that is next to a wall, preferably a stone wall. Then if you hold left and right click, with a shovel main hand and gravel off hand, it will place the gravel almost instantly after the gravel breaks. They do pop off out of your reach occasionally so collect about 8-10 first and even if you have to move away to pick them up, it's still faster than placing them in a line.

2:33 it works because the method used to generate water and lava pools are similar. For the most basic example if I spawned a water block every 2nd block and a lava block every 4th block, then I’ll have a lot of overlap b/w them. Set them at different height levels and with sin waves and boom you got something close to what’s happening.

[ToniMorton]

the lava waterpool trick is probably related to worldgen. the game generates all structures based on a set of instructions and it probably generates the lava in a similar ruleset to the water pools on the surface. interesting little trick

Wow, you are so underrated. I started getting into speedrunning a few weeks ago and I learned a lot from Youtubers like k4yfour and Couriway. However, many stuff in this video are new to me, and some stuff that you explained were more clear than other Youtubers. Great vid!

[KingofJ]

I am no speedrunner, but I still figured a couple of these out myself. I used the fog edge trick a lot back when I had a crappy computer that needed a low render distance and I did the eye triangulation because I figured that's what you were supposed to do. It didn't occur to me that doing trig functions was probably not what you should do.

9:18 You could have broke those dandelions and go in nether and get some mushrooms and craft Suspicious stew of saturation ❤️❤️

[wonjaechoi]

The reason why lava pool generates below water pools is because all water pools beyond 1.18 are aucuafer caves and wen aucuafer caves generates below Y -35.
It terns into a lava cave

[arnekoefoed]

Insanely good video man! Hopefully, this vid pops off cause it deserves to! Maybe you could do a quick vid on the pie chart strat people mainly use to find nether fortresses (rather than treasure bastions) since it's a bit more reliable than moving to a different quadrant?

[GenXTech]

As a beginner speed runner, I found all of these tips very helpful. Thanks for putting this together for the community.

[Mursooo]

Bro you made this video at the best time for me. I just started speedrunning and a lot of the tips help out a lot.

[BoosterGaming]

Bro after watching this video i broke my PB in a half!
before: 01:04:02 after: 30:32
Thank you so much dude

[OnionGirl]

I've been speedrunning casually for over a year now and this video was a massive help. I already knew everything except how simple the degree chart was for calculation and how to do magma portals. Best time is 43 right now and I'm hoping I can bring that down knowing how to do half decent stronghold triangulation now. Thank you!

[donut]

Thank you so much, it helped me a lot, I instantly got a pb!

[Zinczub]

Hope this guy hasn't quit, videos are really well put together.

Those 19 minutes were the best 19 minutes I have ever spent on YouTube
