![Minecraft 1.7 Sword Tower/World Record Tower (WRT) Guide and Tutorial
Mostly just me rambling about the game, but I hope you can get something out of this. Originally ran for an hour long, but I edited it down to just 38 minutes :) Anyway, this is a guide for 1.7 sword towers intended for pre 1.9 runners and beginners. I know that the meta has shifted to fall towers recently, but this tower is always a fun one to do and can still get world record with good luck.

Additional Information/Resources:
- The original concept of sword towers was invented by Cscuile. Check him out here: https://www.youtube.com/user/Cscuile
- For an indepth explanation of why ledge is useful, check out T_Wags video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzxaxeLwMBk
- More accurate explanation of why ladders dont work after falling from specific heights: it checks every tick for a ladder but you fall multiple blocks per tick at high speed so you can skip a ladder between ticks (Toby).
- World Record Tower (WRT) was the original name designated to this design by Cscuile, but the term sword tower has fallen into use more commonly nowadays
- This video by Thomas (https://youtu.be/glVXDr_Ck9s) used to be the go to tower strats guide, but has since become a little outdated so that is why I decided to make this video as an update to the information on that one. The video does include a nice chart of the resources needed to build the tower, so that is a useful piece of information to check.
- I only mentioned one variant of crit tower because I dont really know much about them, so keep in mind there are other versions of the tower. I may even link some once someone builds them in video format. Minecraft 1.7 Sword Tower/World Record Tower (WRT) Guide and Tutorial](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/oheZQsMeL_M/mqdefault.jpg)

Did my first glitched runs today, and this was the best time I got! Theres definitely still much room for improvement. If there was gold in the blacksmith, I could have saved time by not having to go into the cave looking for a zombie to trade rotten flesh to unlock the clerics first trade. I also got a little confused by the triangulation since the eye looked glitchy :p The lack of a fletcher/brown coat villager also wasted a little bit of time, and I ended up just killing chickens and getting flint for arrows instead. Definitely have gotten a lot better at the tick dupe, and I will go for sub 10 in the future :) (12:20.85) Minecraft 1.8 Any% Random Seed Speedrun [PB]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/q-2FwCLIjiI/mqdefault.jpg)
