SancarnJetpacks in Minecraft?! Using the Elytra’s flight mechanics and the mob collision mechanic we have created a command block system to turn your standard Elytra into your very own Jetpack!
If you intend to use this in your own creations be sure to credit Selulance and Sancarn!
There are several reasons as to why this could be happening.
1. You aren't playing in 15w41b or later - Make sure you are using this version. How can you fly without an Elytra?! 2. You're not in survival mode. 3. You didn’t place the command blocks in the spawn chunks. 4. You are playing on a server. Instead try this 1-Click-Command: http://pastebin.com/du5155Ct 5. Command blocks are not enabled on your server. 6. Some other bug we don’t know about - Sorry!
► How do I know where my spawn chunks are? ◄
The easy way is to kill yourself! Unless you spawn back at a bed you will spawn in your spawn chunks!
► Why didn't you make the slime invisible? ◄
I did. However, the invisibility effect only kicks in after 1 game tick. It's a longstanding bug in the game that really should be fixed. To make a truly invisible slime you need to summon it with invisibility and then in the next game tick, teleport it to the player and finally in the next game tick teleport it to the void. This is much more complicated. There might be other solutions too. I'm working on it.
► The smoke particles aren't appearing! ◄
Check your particle settings in video settings. Make sure they are set to "All". Otherwise I cannot help you I am afraid.
A bit of information about how it works:
First we kill all entities with the name “PropelSlime” in the world by teleporting them down to y=-1000. Then we summon new slimes with a size of 0 at every player with a inAir score ≥ 1, a survival game mode and a Pitch-rotation between 30 and -90. The inAir score is controlled by the statistic “stat.flyOneCm”. This increases by 1 for every hundredth of a block the player flies. This includes when he flies with an Elytra. Then we also summon cloud particles with the particle command. This forms a vapour trail. Finally we set the inAir score to 0 again, allowing us to detect whether the player will need boosting in the next tick.
The “megajump” is controlled by a similar system. We firstly give the jump boost 7 effect to all players who have a sneakTime ≥ 1 and a survival game mode for 1 second. sneakTime is controlled by the statistic “stat.sneakTime” and counts up by 1 for each game tick the player is sneaking. After applying the jump boost effect we set it back to 0 allowing us to detect it in the next game tick.

This was a video that was lying around on my hard drive for a while which I decided to finally make into a real video. At first, I thought the video was a bit boring so I added music. Then I thought the video itself was a bit boring so I made it more artsy and freaky... So now I guess one could say this is a display of art though it really didn't come from any self-expression. Just what I heard in the music.
The structure we briefly fly through at 2:15 is a MandelBox. To make the animation I used the source code for a web-based MandelBox visualizer written by DigitalFreePen and can be found here:
I then used AutoHotKey equivalent Keyboard maestro to slowly scroll into the mandel box every second. This however was very shaky/pulsing at first however with VLC player's motion blur you can cut out most of the "pulsing". Then I simply blurred it a bit and bob was my uncle! Perhaps I should do a video on this.... xD

Flowchart made with: draw.ioExplanation - Minecraft Any% random seed speedrun [14.974 seconds]Sancarn2015-09-26 | NEW - 1.12.2 - Any% random seed speed run [0 seconds]! youtube.com/watch?v=68UdkiD4Fs8
This is the explanation video for the current Fastest Speedrun in Minecraft. The speedrun exploits a glitch which makes two world process at the same time.
Rule definitions - 00:34 The technique - 02:35 How it works - 05:06 Development - 07:18 Critiques - 11:25
Technically I didn’t use the commands. Command blocks used the commands. Command blocks just “miraculously” appeared in my survival world and executed some commands on me… Do you know that feeling? The feeling of being used… By no less than a command block D: On a more serious note, watch the entire video and don’t skip sections… I addressed this comment at the end of the video.
► Command blocks?! I thought this was a survival minecraft speedrun?! ◄
Command blocks still work in survival worlds with cheats disabled. This can merely be seen as a programming oversight. If command blocks didn’t work with cheats disabled, then I would have to mod the game - which would be cheating… But command blocks do work. So in my books, it’s not cheating.
► This is done in a snapshot, not an official version, therefore it cannot be considered an official speedrun ◄
I leave that for the community to decide. This is the one critique which really does hold a point. It may also be possible to do the same glitch in 1.7.10 but it would have to be a set seed speedrun due to the great restriction of commands. Still I am sure it’s possible to win in under a minute in 1.7.10!
► Why do you have to kill the EnderDragon? Can’t you just setblock an end portal at the players feet? ◄
In this version of Minecraft you can’t do this. My initial method was extremely similar! I’d summon a falling sand entity with the ID of an end portal at the players feet and then setblock the end portal at his feet. Then in the next tick the player would first go through the end portal, followed by the end portal falling sand entity which would send the player, very very quickly into the end. This might still be possible with version switches… But I haven’t tried that yet!
► Why kill the EnderDragon with a primed TNT? Instead you could literally summon him with {HealF:0} ◄
This depends on what rules you follow. A rule that I didn’t mention in the video, but one which I followed is that “The EnderDragon needs to die via either player or environmental damage”. I didn’t count “death by never being alive” as “environmental damage” but depending on how you define the rules you can do that too! :) You can check out my 2nd Video “Technical Speedrun Tactics” to see a few charts on how this would improve the time!
► You used a 3rd party macro tool in your speedrun! You’re cheating! ◄
The tool is used before the survival world is generated and therefore before the timer itself starts. Therefore, given our set of rules, it cannot be defined as cheating.
► Could this be considered as a scripted speed run since it uses the command blocks? ◄
Again like all these things it depends on your definition. A lot of speed runs for Half Life, for instance, are scripted with console commands to make them faster. This could be considered as “scripted with command blocks”. The only difference is that command blocks are *intentional features* of minecraft.
► You're not actually playing Minecraft... ◄
That's the definition of any%. Any% means to do any percentage of the game to reach an ending to the game. So that includes 0%, which is what this speed run is.

http://pastebin.com/5dEsgv43The fastest way to get All Achievements [random seed ; 1.278 seconds]Sancarn2015-09-25 | The fastest speedrun to get all achievements in Minecraft. This was done in 1.278 seconds of real time, but it can be done in 0.05 seconds of in game time.
In this video I show the fastest way to complete any random seed of Minecraft. This was done in 14.974 seconds of real time, but it can be done in 10.2 seconds of in game time. This uses large-skip glitches.
p.s. I originally called this a "world record speed run" but then I realised it that it would assume that the standards I set for Minecraft speed runs are the same as the standards set for previous world records in the past.

For those saying that this is not the confederate flag; I know, I've seen! :P But it's not really relevant to the video anyway... The video is about symbols and not "what is the correct flag". But for those interested...
So I couldn't help but comment on the big debate in the US at the moment. My personal opinion is that I can fully understand not wanting racism in your state. But it is not the flags fault and there will always be bad people in this world who look for excuses to do bad things. Dylan was one of those people and there will be many more in the future... But we really need to stop blaming the existence of these people on things like symbols which have completely subjective meanings.
So the conclusion - Symbols have subjective and dynamic meanings. Ideas are static and therefore up for debate.XYZ Episode 1 :: Chapter 1 - The Immediate Update Bug (Left)Sancarn2015-06-28 | Other half of video: youtube.com/watch?v=UtSP6VAcITU
