After making my first cake in an old world, I decided it'd be fun to see how quickly I could get another in a fresh save. After several attempts, I found out it's actually possible to make your first cake in less than 30 minutes. The rules are as follows:
- Start a new world, or start in a new area of an old one with an empty inventory
- All cheating forbidden (InvEdit, ect)
- Anything map-generated is fair game (stuff in dungeon chests)
- Use of crop enhancers like bonemeal is allowed
- Timer starts when you start moving after spawning, and ends when you place the cake and take a bite
On my first two runs I got cake in about 27 minutes flat, but in the third (where I used bonemeal and found two buckets in a dungeon chest) I managed to actually get it in less than one full Minecraft day/night cycle - 16 minutes.
So, how fast can YOU have your cake and eat it too?
The title of this thread made me imagine....
Minecraft tool assisted speedruns.
Oh god, how crazy would that get.
(If you don't know what tool assisted means, basically you use savestates to manipulate luck, slow motion and frame by frame to time your input perfectly, and exploit bugs to get the fastest possible completion)
(look up super mario 64 no star run, or ocarina of time TAS, or anything like that)
I've found that the most frustrating part is waiting for the wheat to grow, as patience is hard to come by in a speedrun. Without bonemeal you're looking at about 5 to 10 minutes for that alone, unless you get lucky and find some wheat in a dungeon chest.
I'd love someone to record a video of them trying this. That's be awesome.

Yes. Definitely. Not sure how many worthy goals there are to TAS for though - Fastest to the Nether? Fastest to reach bedrock? Besides that, you'd mostly have a whole bunch of similar "first to mine/harvest/craft X item" goals.

Imagine if some people went TAS on this and kept spawning different worlds for a "perfect" run...
You'd want to spawn next to an open dungeon with spiders (passive due to daylight), with all the (edit: actually, just buckets would be quicker) and you need in the chest. I'd imagine the limiting factor would be the time for a chicken to lay an egg. (Wait, how does egg-laying work? Is it on a fixed timer, or is that random too?)
Got it on my first try in 30 minutes flat, but it was a terrible run... I'd say maybe 15 minutes without dungeons if you're quick.
What I do is -
1. Plant seeds with wooden hoe
2. Find a chicken and trap it
3. Make a set of stone tools
4. Find a cave and get 9 iron (preferably kill a skeleton for bones also when you're down there, otherwise wait until night and kill one)
5. Get sugar cane
6. Go back to the chicken, hopefully there's an egg
7. Make furnace(s), smelt iron
8. Fertilize crops with bonemeal
9. Get the iron ingots, make 3 buckets, get milk
10. CAKE TIME

I would laugh, hard.
Problem?
I am terrifically amused.
Great job, you single-handedly manage to make me say "You are so god damn dumb" out loud. Congratulations.
The best place to start is the order of events.
what should you get in what order?
I would vote for
plant wheat, go mine for iron, make bucket, get wheet, while iron smelts, get eggs ,craft.
what do you guys think
Gahh you beat me to it
Anyway this is an awesome idea
