Minecraft speedrunning

The 2011 sandbox video game Minecraft is one of the most popular video games to speedrun. Speedrunning, the act of completing a video game as fast as possible, is accomplished in Minecraft by reaching the End Dimension, defeating the game's final boss, the Ender Dragon, and entering the middle fountain that holds the portal back to the overworld. Many online communities have sprouted around speedrunning, and speedrunners have become an integral part of Minecraft's online fandom.

Minecraft speedrunning became popular and mainstream around 2020. Before that, Japanese players had dominated the Minecraft speedrunning sphere, pioneering most strategies and defining the Random Seed Glitchless category. The world record for the most popular speedrunning category, Random Seed Glitchless on version 1.16+, is a time of 6:50 set by lowk3y_ on June 11, 2025.
