There were some speed runs before, which involved getting a full set of diamond tools and/or steel armor, similiar to that, but now a clear and common goal exists, so yeah.
Speed run? It wouldn't be speedy at all...
You need to build a mob grinder for XP (which would take days) or run around for minecraft weeks killing stuff... EXP is tedious. Lvl 50 enchantment itself is 2750ish mobs... for one lvl 50 enchantment.
Then the diamonds...IDK About you, but I have like 3 diamonds unused of pic and sword and table.
Unless you'd like to beat him up with iron. Good luck with that :/
Iron armor is also little protection too...
Then the amount of obsidian and endstone you have to get to pillar up to the obsidian spikes is A TON.
Then you need gold/diamond pics to get down safely... IDK... Is water placable in the End?
IT'll be hard..

Nobody ever told you grinding was a necessity. I'm perfectly happy with my diamond blade with Bane of Arthropods II. You probably don't need to have Sharpness IV to kill the dragon.
You probably only have 3 diamonds because you spent all your time grinding. I go into a cave and search lava level for diamonds and leave with 4 or 5 after thirty minutes.
Either way, a Minecraft speed run would probably take 15 or 16 hours, assuming you don't die.
I don't even have a mob grinder on my world XD
Enchanting I meant for the armor... but sharpness would help :smile.gif:
And about as soon as you posted, I found a diamond vein of 6! :biggrin.gif:
I play on 1.9pre5, IDK how the releases will actually be.
I've been playing a lot of Hardcore mode lately and here is some advice that might help anyone who is going to try this challenge:
1) Suit up in the best armor you can craft as soon as you possibly can, wear as full a set as possible and and keep it in good repair.
2) Use your first 2 diamonds for a diamond sword, so you can kill mobs faster. A good way to die is to try and fight multiple mobs with an iron sword and mostly damaged armor.
3) The fastest way to produce food (without complex farming systems that take a lot of time to build) seems to be by farming melons or setting aside some time to grind pork/beef. If you are going into an abandoned mineshaft, go in, get the melon seeds, and come out. Don't try and be a hero-- mineshafts are dangerous. The only thing you want is the melon seeds. You can take a bucket of milk to cancel the poison from cave spiders. I like melons as food because you can keep your hunger bar at 100% without wasting food (pop a melon every time you get down to 90%). Melons are a bit inventory intesive, but they are fast to produce.
4) Carry a bucket of water with you in case you fall in lava so you can quench yourself with it. I have mine set to slot 9 so I can punch the number key in a panic. I've saved my hardcore world a half-dozen times with my water bucket.
I'd say those are my top 4 tips for a hardcore speed run. Good luck fellas.
Either way, a Minecraft speed run would probably take 15 or 16 hours, assuming you don't die.
CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!
Here's my plan: spawn, punch trees, get 3 diamonds, make nether portal and get blaze rods, return and slaughter enough endermen to open the portal, make MANY Wooden swords, kill ender dragon...???... PROFIT. No diamond swords or armor needed.

Prob'ly an inter dimensional rip between the Nether and the Overworld.
What, really? I've been playing for about 5 months and I haven't tried to kill the ender dragon but then I'm not particularly interested in doing so. I dare say I'll try some time.
Please can you provide a link?
It was posted in the forums news not that long ago, just look at some of the older ones.

Hardcore mode.
No beds.
Must have an enchanted diamond sword and a full set of armor when you reach the End.
Kill the dragon.
Ah, You crazy blind son of a *****
Just failed miserably at the speed run, btw.
Jumped into a ravine, barely survived the fall (broke both my legs) and got riddled with arrows from three skeletons hiding in an alcove.
**** speed runs. Gonna take it slow.

Woke up
Punched tree
Saw coal in a cave
Made Pick
Mined coal
BOOM!
challenge lost!
It's always such a pleasure.

The record is now under 15 mins
It was posted in the forums news not that long ago, just look at some of the older ones.
I believe the current record is 5:27, using a set seed and glitches.
Using a set seed and no glitches, I think it's about 10-11 minutes.
Using a random seed and glitches, I think it's around 9 minutes.
Using a random seed and no glitches, I have no idea, but it's probably at least 25 minutes.
The BEST way to mine diamond, layer 12 and you.
