Forsen Smashes xQc’s record in Minecraft by More Than a Minute
Minecraft, being one of the world’s largest video games ever, with over 300 million copies sold worldwide, and over 140 million monthly active users, is bound to have a league of players who have developed quite a skillset.
Mojang Studios created the sandbox game Minecraft, which was first launched in 2009. Players explore a blocky, three-dimensional, randomly generated environment with nearly unlimited topography in the game Minecraft. In addition to crafting tools and equipment, building structures, earthworks, and machinery, players may find and extract raw materials. Players can engage in cooperative or competitive gameplay with other players in the same environment, as well as take on hostile creatures, depending on the game mode they have selected. There are two different game modes: creative mode, where players have limitless resources and may fly, and survival mode, where players must gather materials to create in the globe and keep their health.
As a 3D sandbox game, Minecraft has no set objectives to complete, giving players a great deal of control over how they choose to play. But there is an accomplishment system; it’s called “trophies” on the PlayStation versions, “achievements” on the Xbox copies, and “advancements” on the Java Edition of the game. Although third-person view is an option, first-person perspective is the default for gameplay. The game environment is made out of crude 3D objects, generally referred to as “blocks,” that are primarily cubes and liquid and represent a variety of materials, including ores, soil, stone, tree trunks, water, and lava. The main focus of the game is moving and collecting up these items.
The game world is produced procedurally as players explore it, using a map seed that is either manually entered by the player or taken from the system clock at the moment the world is created. The game world is indefinite. Although mobility in the vertical plane is limited, Minecraft’s horizontal plane enables for the creation of an indefinitely huge gaming environment. However, a barrier stops players from traveling to destinations more than 30 million blocks from the center due to technical difficulties encountered while reaching extremely remote regions.
To do this, the game divides the world data into smaller 16 by 16 segments, or “chunks,” which are only loaded or formed when players are in close proximity. The world’s landscape consists of plains, mountains, forests, caverns, bodies of water or lava, and biomes that range from deserts to jungles to snowfields. The day and night cycle of the in-game time system lasts for 20 real-time minutes for a full rotation.
To begin a new planet, players had to select from five different game modes and four different levels of difficulty, ranging from “Peaceful” to “Hard”. In addition to other difficulty-specific impacts, increasing the game’s difficulty makes the player more vulnerable to harm from mobs (non-player characters). For instance, the Hard setting lets players starve to death if their hunger bar is empty, whereas the Peaceful difficulty stops aggressive groups from appearing.
A Friendly Rivalry Entails
Forsen and fellow streamer xQc started a friendly rivalry in late 2020, with the two of them trying to complete a Minecraft speedrun in the quickest amount of time. The record for the fastest Minecraft speedrun, held by Forsen and xQc, has been hotly contested on stream for the past few years.
The Twitch stars set a competition for each other to see how fast they could take down the Ender Dragon, the game’s last boss.
In May, xQc set the previous record with a time of 16 minutes and 38 seconds. And then, not too many weeks ago, Forsen equaled this.
To get the bragging rights, Forsen has now broken the record by more than a minute once again.
Forsen Breaks xQc’s Minecraft Record in Less Than a Minute
Forsen aired live on Twitch on October 20, trying to slay the Ender Dragon as quickly as possible.
He smashed the record in an outstanding way after a little over half an hour and a few botched efforts.
He surpassed xQc’s record by 1 minute and 10 seconds by finishing the challenge in 15 minutes and 28 seconds. “Yeeeeaaaaahh!” Forsen celebrated by raising his hands and shouting.
The video has since gone popular on social media. Many of his devoted followers have praised him for the achievement, saying things like, “Holy sh*t, he finally did it,” and “A historic Twitch moment.”
Forsen gave an explanation of why he believes xQc won’t be able to defeat him this time later in the broadcast. “It’s over; you don’t comprehend conversation. “You have to be prepared to end your stream, which he is not,” he said, asserting that it needs too much devotion.
But only a few days ago, xQc demonstrated that he is still serious about the challenge by buying a diamond Ender Dragon pendant as a “trophy” for the record holder.
So, while we continue to witness this beautiful rivalry unfold right in front of our eyes, stay tuned for any updates about the upcoming Minecraft Version drop!
