SPEEDRUN CATEGORIES
Every official Minecraft speedrun category with rules, world records, and difficulty ratings.
Any% Glitchless (RSG)
The most popular speedrun category. Beat the Ender Dragon as fast as possible with a random seed. No glitches allowed. RSG (Random Seed Glitchless) requires generating a new world with a random seed each attempt.
Any% Glitchless (SSG)
Beat the Ender Dragon as fast as possible on a pre-selected seed. Set Seed Glitchless allows runners to optimize routes on a known world layout, pushing times far below RSG records.
All Advancements
Complete every single advancement in Minecraft. This is an extreme endurance category requiring knowledge of every game mechanic, biome, structure, and mob. Runs typically last many hours.
All Bosses
Defeat the Ender Dragon, the Wither, and the Elder Guardian. This category tests combat skills and resource management across all three dimensions plus ocean monuments.
Half%
Reach the credits screen by jumping into the void in The End rather than killing the Ender Dragon. This means entering The End and dying/teleporting to trigger credits without a full dragon fight. An unusual and creative category.
Bedrock Any%
Beat the Ender Dragon as fast as possible on Bedrock Edition. Bedrock has different mechanics, world generation, and glitches compared to Java, creating a unique speedrunning experience.
100%
Complete every achievement/advancement AND collect every unique item in the game. The ultimate completionist category. Extremely long runs requiring encyclopedic game knowledge.
