For close to a decade, Minecraft speedrunners have been trying to beat the Pre-1.9 versions in 15 minutes. This is the story of how a new meta was developed and countless hours poured into the game by many different runners to eventually complete the quest for sub 15. Huge shoutout to nieuh and eliotex in particular for making this video possible.

This is not the story of a Minecraft player who possibly cheated to get a faked Minecraft speedrun world record, and not the story of their friend who also did not cheat to get a faked Minecraft speedrun world record. Fake Minecraft speedruns are insane, almost as insane as this description! If you want to see a fake cheated Minecraft 1.16 world record speedrun, this is not the video for you!
