WARNING: Flashing lights while the run is played back at normal speed, at the start and at the end of the video. It's not extreme but be mindful if you have any kind of photosensitivity.

[perdu]

00:00: This TAS is insane
20:00: This TAS is INSANE

[AssJagger]

The explosion takes 4 seconds, it’ll be used later
That concept is so funny to me but technically it’s 1/5th if the run

[Kosmicd]

minecraft in 20 seconds explained in 20 minutes via 20 days of work! Impressive work keep it up!!

[xentastic]

16:42 I love how he has and takes the time to just organize his inventory

[sonicwaveinfinitymiddwelle]

19:30 watching the end synchronize perfectly with the music is satisfying

[DylanDC]

video turned out incredible :) love it, glad i could help

[sibby]

First, I see complete chaos. Then, after 20 minutes, I see TAS perfection

[beanlegion]

I love how you explained even basic mechanics like how ender pearls work so that anyone, whether they play Minecraft or not, can understand the run. Great work :)

[haandotexe]

"This tosses him off the map and into the infinite void where he can contemplate his existence" it's moments like these why i LOVE Bismuth. Easy to understand, concise explanations mixed in with occasional dry humor.

[LARAUJO_]

Wow, I was amazed back when the 92-second TAS came out, but 20!? Honestly, it's hilarious how half the time spent in the run is just waiting for timers to end while frantically doing other stuff. Also, I never considered using bed explosions to boost your Ender Pearls

[cantsu]

man I LOVE TAS explanations, so much effort goes into something you can watch in less than a minute, the more you know about what happens in the TAS the more you appreciate it

[tamquan]

19:51 is just so perfect. It made the video have such a satisfying end.

[caspersmith]

This is probably one of the most thorough explanations of a speedrun and TAS, including every relevant game element and mechanic, that I have ever watched. I feel like even if I had never heard of minecraft before I would still be able to fully appreciate this work-of-art run and the skill and effort that went into it. Really, really great work.

[ledgerlinelife]

I love that you let me rewatch the run at the end, really gave me a sense of closure and made me feel like I truly understand the run now

[twilcynder]

Aside from how interesting the content of this video is, i am impressed by how good it sounds. Amazingly smooth voice, amazing choice of music, well written and organized, i think i could have listened to a video like this about anything.

[Endev_Prime]

I like that Bismuth noticed that this speedrun is not about putting normal, hard-working speedrunners into a shame, but it's about showing the best potential run by using supporting programs. Respect for DylanDC14 and all minecraft speedrunning community. You're all so great.

[EvilLucario]

RuneScape music honestly goes really well with Minecraft.

[Lil_Ms_Dipst]

I know this video is like six months old now but I'm still so thankful you decided to go over this. Minecraft has been my special interest since I was 8 (so like 10 years now, wow !) and the fact you talk about how Minecraft works so those who don't play it can understand and also not sound judgmental is very soothing to me (I think it might be because usually if I don't understand something I get called stupid or made fun of like instantly). The ending with the music sync up is just brilliant. Thank you so much for this video.

[AboutOliver]

Really great explanation of what happened in the TAS.
