I Tried to Speedrun Minecraft Education Edition

as of recent i have been speedrunning minecraft java edition version 1.16 as a means of mastering a game i've been playing for almost a decade now i have found solace in speedrunning by being able to adapt to your environments and to test your game knowledge as the forefront in improving one's time by no means am i the best speedrunner of all time and have only pb'd at 50 minutes in hopes of getting a sub 30 one day however the other day i was recommended a video that detailed the inner workings of minecraft education edition in which i thought to myself i wonder how speed running minecraft education edition would go and if that's even possible with that thought i downloaded minecraft education edition loaded up a world and set foot on a quest a quest in which i was not aware of what lied ahead so the second that the world started i did the exact same thing as always i mined a tree got stone tools and looted a village and upon reaching that village i began to notice some differences in the game's mechanics opposed to java edition for starters the hoe didn't mind the hay bales at the now buff speeds and my axe crits never had to recharge nor crack the iron golem at this moment i realized that this was the old combat mechanics and that bedrock edition was the source for education edition with his new gain knowledge i set forth looking for a lava pool yet my mind was constantly trying to think of the differences that lied ahead of the run after what felt like forever in speed run terms i found a lava pool that just so happened to be the exact size and lava needed in order to create another portal and upon completion set my spawn point as a precautionary of course and entered the nether and another fortress at the same time the next step in completing this run is obviously to obtain blaze rods in order to create eyes of enders to locate the end portal as time went on my inability to locate a blaze spawner led me to believe that a blaze spawner didn't spawn in another fortress as a means of not letting kids who are at school obviously to beat minecraft when they should be paying attention to a coding lesson fortunately for myself when that thought entered my mind i instantly found a blade spawner and couldn't have been more relieved that i was wrong yet my troubles only seemed to increase from here you see as i killed the last couple of blazes that i needed i realized what seemed so off from the beginning the hoe didn't seem to mind the hay bale accordingly because it was an older version of minecraft as that sadly sank in i looked around for gold on the ceilings in desperation and the walls of the nether and there was not a single piece of gold to be found 1.16 wasn't in this edition of minecraft my go-to method of speedrunning didn't apply here as there were no means of getting pearls by trading gold with piglens i began to panic and think of a solution as i left another knowing there was nothing left for me there i decided to run in one direction in hopes of finding an enderman to kill in order to make a single eye of ender to at least know the direction i should be running towards the first enderman didn't drop a pearl but instantly afterwards my disappointment was relieved and i found another one and upon killing it it dropped a pearl i created a single eye of ender threw it and then watched it break into pieces soon after heading towards that direction i found a desert and remembered old speed runs involved creating boats sitting in a desert at night and killing endermen in order to obtain pearls i tried this method and had absolutely no luck which i now accredit to the strange occurrences of entities spawning in a chunk by chunk basis which is identical to bedrocks after a grueling walk through the desert i was in between a temple and a savannah village i then realized the method of speedrunning prior to 1.16 was through trading with villagers for emeralds with sticks these sticks were then traded with another villager that gave you pearls i then decided to rate the temple of its resources in hopes of getting better gear and its tnt as well as to sleep right before entering the village to avoid a villager dying to a zombie since i didn't know the process of trading for pearls i looked up a youtube video watched it as i had difficulties corralling villagers accidentally hitting them and the tiresome burden of changing their professions once i managed to start the trading process i realized this process was going to take a long time maybe i did it wrong or should have reset them constantly but i wasn't risking it after being 40 minutes into the run after another 20 minutes of repeating the cycle of trading sticks with villagers getting a pearl destroying their entire life's work wondering why the stupid green villager wouldn't aid me in my quest i finally got the needed 12 ender pearls to finish my run however i wanted more ender pearls as a safety net and repeated the cycle once more once obtaining the 14 enter pearls they set off to the stronghold without freeing them and leaving their town in utter shambles unfortunately this was my biggest mistake i left in a rush and did not think of the ruination that lied ahead after walking no more than five minutes i found another village and saw the beauty of a village yet thwarted by a minecraft player i ran swiftly in fear that the villagers would notice and hear word of what happened to their neighboring vill and then i ran back because i passed the portal i mined straight down to finish what i had started but to my surprise i didn't find the stronghold even after it went down in that exact location i started to tower back up desperately to look around a cave system i had mine passed earlier once again nothing at this point i thought strongholds didn't exist at all but then i saw a piece of mossy stone brick sticking out and mined into the stronghold to look for the portal after a brief search i started to run in circles as there were no other paths to take i dug for walls potentially blocking them off but after several minutes it dawned on me there was no end portal having felt defeated i told myself no way after all this time all this effort this is how it ends in a rage i decided to go into creative mode and to blow up the stronghold to hopefully find a portal to prove my theory wrong yet i was right there was no portal at least one that was generated i decided to give myself the final piece in this run and to at least finish what i had started i returned to survival mode and to rest before the big fight i entered each of the eyes of ender into the newly constructed portal and witnessed the portal open in contemplating jumping perhaps this was all a mistake perhaps i had somehow awakened something that was best left to be dormant i spawned on a floating platform and made my way to the end island to see what challenge awaits me upon bridging i remember that the ender dragon perches differently in bedrock to the point that there was a different setup and usage of lava in order to one cycle it therefore i stared at the pillar wishing i had gotten a bow and arrow from the villagers i treated so poorly and thus began the fall [Music] after pillaring up to the first crystal and destroying it i thought to use my ender pearl to get to the next couple of pillars in hopes of clearing the end faster however in this version of minecraft seemingly if you pearl to a crystal you instantly die whereas in java you normally skate away with minimal damage once getting back i bolted around my water bucket that i left behind turns out that the dragon get rid of your water source and destroy your items on the ground with this my only hope of getting to the pillars was by using blocks but without a pickaxe how is that possible well luckily the tnt had left behind a considerable amount of blocks and i grabbed everything from the explosion site to reach the remaining crystals however this dragon was immensely aggressive and even using a new move i have never seen in minecraft before it creates a vortex that does insane tick damage while levitating you up in the air this combined with his new strange patterns and new aggressive nature i kept trying again and again prying my way through the fight with the same strategy but losing my resources every attempt however the same tools constantly survived that being what i began to refer as my sword and my gold helmet which i began to symbolize as my crown due to seeing it as a motivation of sorts and growing more attached to it each time each time i ran out of blocks i'd return to the overworld more beaten up but a growing determination and grit i see whenever i face obstacles in front of my goals mining gravel with my bare hands mining old blocks to further my climbs time and time again until finally all the crystals were gone i threw the last of my items on the ground in order to retrieve them postmortem now it was just me and the dragon with my crown a bed 14 flint three blocks of dirt six torches and my iron sword i knew this was it i fought tirelessly for something i caused once i began to see his health go down a sigh of relief started to overwhelm me however my health bars seemed to do the same thing but much faster then again i was left shocked to my core the ender dragon's health replenishes upon you exiting the dimension even if all the crystals are destroyed the dragon had finally destroyed my crown the object i had clung onto during this process after having no luck i felt defeated yet i knew it wasn't over i wanted to finish what i started reminded of the beauty of the village i had stumbled across i started from square one mine a tree get stone tools and loot a village afterwards i knew that wasn't all i needed this had to be done finished and i had to be prepared this time i mined the resources of the nearby cave for iron tools and armor but kept in my mind the crown i held so dearly that i wish to forge a new one in knowing that this run was soon to be finished and i could finally come out victorious taking one last glimpse as i did the first time jumped into what i now learned the dragon constantly perched time and time again my nerves increasing as i waited to deal the final blow in hopes of the dragon not landing hers and then all of a sudden it was over [Music] and with that the credits rolled at two hours in 16 minutes however there was one last thing that had to be done i wish to thank the villagers that aided me in this quest i returned to the end to claim my trophy went back to the overworld and to return to surface as a victor to the villagers that saw me in shambles i returned all the beds that i had taken protected them from the hust that loomed over them and placed the enderdragon egg on their highest tower and that was the story behind the time i tried to speedrun minecraft education [Music] edition [Music] you
