Minecraft Minimum Advancement Runs Are Ridiculous

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!

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

Finally i can watch you again without getting spoiled

Making this a speedrun category would be insane

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

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

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

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

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

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!
