My favourite of those is random seed glitchless for sure. But the unmodded categories are special in their own way. Probably because it's a nice change of pace from the randomness of unmodded Minecraft categories. Illumina: I enjoy running the Diversity 2 mod, and in general I love custom map speedruns. You can customize your avatar in the game so I wore the Minecon 2015 cape I got when I was invited for a speedrun competition for Diversity 2, and Set Seed Glitchless.Īsh: Do you have a favourite speedrun category? During your run, you also got to show off a bit of Minecraft swag. It's hard to calculate just how lucky it was, a 1/500 chance was thrown in by one of the commentators, but it's hard to know how accurate that number is.Īsh: I don’t math but that sounds about right to me. This was one of the better Nethers that I have gotten in my runs, so getting that in my SGDQ run was super lucky.
When I entered the Nether, the blaze spawner was very close to the Nether portal when I entered. It wasn't a run changing time save, but the Nether part definitely was. Normally, I build a nether portal with a lava and a water bucket, which takes slightly longer. The chest also contained an iron pickaxe and iron sword which are also both very helpful. Near the beginning of the run, I found 10 obsidian in a chest, which is really lucky because that's just enough obsidian to make a Nether portal. Illumina: Yeah! It was a rollercoaster of luck. I got the chance to speak with Illumina in hopes of learning more about Minecraft speedrunning and the experience of playing the game on such a grand scale for a worthy cause! Watch his speedrun below:Īsh: During your run, you had some amazing luck. He completed the Any% category where the objective is to beat the game quickly without the use of any glitches. Tell her it’s for charity.ĭuring this year’s SGDQ, Minecraft took center stage due to the speedy skills of Illumina1337. Make sure you mention that next time grandma asks why you’re wasting your life on video games. Yes, you heard correctly, gamers get together and raise multiple millions of dollars every year just through playing their favourite games as fast as possible. The money raised, often more than a million dollars – and this year’s SGDQ raised a record-breaking 3 million (with an M) dollars – goes to benefit Doctors without Borders. Summer Games Done Quick (or SGDQ) is an annual speedrunning marathon where gamers work to complete their favourite game as quickly as possible all while raising money for charity.
But if you’re a nerd like me (and let’s face it, if you’re reading an article on you are a nerd like me and that’s okay!) summer traditions also include Summer Games Done Quick – a weeklong 24/7 marathon of the best speedruns on the planet. Summer traditions include camping, fireworks, swimming, and a much-needed break from school.
