With speedrunning rising in popularity, the world record time for beating Minecraft keeps getting lower and lower.
There are many different factors when it comes to the world record of beating Minecraft: Was the player able to choose a seed, or did they have to let a random seed generate? Was the player allowed to use any glitches or bugs to boost their time, or did they have to do everything naturally? Is winning considered beating the Ender Dragon, beating all of the bosses, or completing every achievement?
With all of these factors being considered, there are quite a few world records for beating Minecraft, which will be discussed in this article using the statistics from speedrun.com.
