Minecraft Speedrunning is when a player completes the game as fast as possible, either through optimized gameplay techniques or through the exploitation of glitches. Most speedrunners will practice for hours upon hours in attempts to find faster ways to beat the game.

Minecraft is one of the many games that players speedrun. The goal is to spawn in, go to the nether, go to the End and beat the Ender Dragon, as quickly as possible.

The Minecraft speedrunning leaderboard changes quite often, so it might be hard for Minecraft speedrunning fans to keep up. Holding the speedrunning world record is an amazing title, but cannot be accomplished without hard work.

Listed below is everything players need to know about the top 5 current speedrun record-holders.
