Comparison between frontloading wood at shipwreck vs at island. Some notes: the shipwreck route in this example has no leftover sticks for a shovel, so in a real run you need to get at least one more wood. The logs also fly all over the place, in this optimal example they all flew together but usually you lose time because you need to swim around and collect them. Everything in the shipwreck example is pretty much optimal (didnt make any mistakes afaik, and the log RNG was perfect), where as the island example could have been faster (faster chest looting), doesnt rely on log RNG, and still gets the same time.Microlensing distance calculationNinjabrain2021-02-13 | Watch k4yfour's videos on microlensing (bastion x-ray) if you haven't already.

For best results use netherrack or soul sand (they have low blast resistance) to build the beam that you place the bed on. You can place planks or nether brick on top of the spawner, planks work best in my experience since it has the perfect blast resistance.Seed challenge 2, 9:40 IGTNinjabrain2021-01-03 | Sub 10, can probably shave off another minute with better blaze and perch RNG. My submition to the second seed challenge in MSL (Minecraft Speedrunning Ladder, created by Sharpieman20). The "seed challenge" category is basically SSG but on a given seed, you are allowed to scout the seed beforehand and reset as much as you want.

Shout out to jojoe77777 for almost discovering this before me.2RD Guaranteed milkless monument (Skip to 2:54)Ninjabrain2020-12-13 | Skip to 2:54 for the monument. Only reason I did this in survival was as proof of concept. Explanation: Elder guardians will apply the mining fatigue debuff every 60 seconds to all players within 50 blocks. If you set the render distance to 2 and stand where I do in the video, the elder guardians are not ticked because they are too far away. As you can see, I can stand in the same spot for 60 seconds without getting the debuff, which is impossible if an elder guardian is loaded. When I pass the chunk border I get the debuff because the center elder guardian becomes loaded. The boarder that you "should not cross" is at the same place every time, meaning you can easily raid the monument without being feared of being debuffed.
Honorable mention to jojoe77777 for being close to discover this before me.Calculated travel proof of conceptNinjabrain2020-12-13 | ...Armor stand blazesNinjabrain2020-12-13 | ...Guide to Hidden Rooms in StrongholdsNinjabrain2020-12-06 | Rule 1: If you face south/east (+x or +z) as you enter a 5-way, there are no hidden rooms. (+ = GOOD LULW) Rule 2: If you face north/west (-x or -z) as you enter a 5-way, there can be hidden rooms. A flush wall has a hidden room behind it if and only if there is an indentation on the same side of the room.
These rules apply for 1.16.1, but should work for any version that generate the stronghold like 1.16.
