I've had another attempt at Rick Clark's latest speed challenge - Fathers' Day! This time I demonstrate how I can be both speedy and cack-handed at the same time!
Rick's introductory video is here: youtu.be/lPeyfijQkl8
He describes the challenge thus:
Inspired by the day we honor our fathers and father figures for all the fantastic things they do for us.
Goal: Craft a brick block and stone cutter, place the stone cutter on the brick, and issue the command /time query gametime to get your score.
Rules
1. Random world.
2. Hard difficulty.
3. Cheats ON.
4. KeepInventory TRUE
5. You must craft both the brick block and the stone cutter.
6. Place the stone cutter atop the brick block and issue the command /time query gametime to get the game tics. This is your score.
I actually adapted a datapack that I made for one of Rick's earlier challenges, rather than issuing the /time query gametime commands manually
