My first Minecraft TAS, I hope you enjoy!
I got 3rd place in the Minecraft TAS Competition, check out the results video by Scribble here: • Minecraft TAS Competition TASk 2 Results!
Start a Bakery% - craft a cake, a cookie, bread, and a pumpkin pie without the use of villagers on 1.12.2. The seed was provided and we were only allowed to dupe buckets.

Rerecords: Unknown, but I have over 12 hours of recorded footage.
I may be new to TASing this game but that won't stop me from writing an excessive explanation as to what I did:
In sections where I'm jumping and repeatedly turning my head that's me bhopping / 45 strafing. It reduces drag in the air by 2% which speeds me up by a miniscule amount. It's mostly noticeable over long distances but even for short segments I could see the increase in speed and I'm all for maximizing speed in places if I can.
I tried to get creepers to blow up the enderman in order to kill them 1 hit sooner but it didn't quite work out. Dealing with the pathing RNG was such a pain so I took what I could get.
You might notice zombies randomly stand still. This is because loading savestates resets the mob behaviour. The only thing I could do about this would be to record longer segments but that becomes extremely difficult. If anything, I think this slowed me down since it also resets the hit cooldown on my axe.
While waiting for the ender pearls to land I included the footage of the world reloading when loading the savestates. Although it seems like I'm adding time to my run it actually lines up the teleport at the right time.
As for the route, I didn't have enough time to test multiple routes so I went with what I thought would be fast. After some very brief testing ender pearl strats seemed to be slightly faster than scaling the terrain that I skipped.
Most of my TASing was done with a tickrate of 2 or 5 (it's normally 20) except at the end where I used a tickrate of 1. In two ticks I go from looking at the crafting table to looking at the cow to looking at the glass. I did this with some autohotkey scripts to move the mouse instantly. The crafting at the end is easily improvable so don't slow it down and watch what I did lol
Mods used:
• Optifine
• TASTools
• Tickrate Changer
• Squeedometer
• MiniHUD (MaLiLib)
• TNTUtils
• Better Chat
TNTUtils was added to force logs to drop when the creeper blew up the tree at the beginning. I added Better Chat about half way through to reposition the chat. Fast math was turned off in Optifine.
The quality of this video is low because my computer is getting old and it was struggling to screen record and play the game at the same time. I hope the gameplay makes up for that.
