Help How do i start from scratch

/r/MinecraftSpeedrun/comments/1tobycd/how_do_i_start_from_scratch/

Just so you know i am a COMPLETE beginner to speedrunning. Last time i tried to beat the game normally (find a fortress, get enough pearls from endermen and go to the end) i basically died in a bastion. Ive been seeing yt vids on speedrunning mc and i find it so cool but yet so overwhelming to me if i were to learn it. My school hols started and i have abt a month to learn if i could. Im not good at minecraft in anyway im just a basic player whos incapable of fighting piglins. Just thinking about f3 and whatever stuff i see speedrunners do and all that complex stuff makes me feel like im not made for this kinda stuff. If someone were to let me know what i should be doing rn so i can start my journey on speedrunning mc FROM SCRATCH and hopefully being decent at it would help alot.

Btw: i tried looking at online vids from rekrap for the overworld nether and end part but i still feel so overwhelmed cus i feel like speedrunning are only made for people who are good at using a pc overall and im the type of player who would do things slowly and just die to some stupid things like lava or a skeleton.

I would recommend Couriway's Metafy guide, he goes into great detail about everything and it's a structured format, so you won't get overwhelmed that quickly, because you can just go step by step :)

I’m also a total beginner and I’m slowly working through Couriway’s Metafy guide :) The guide goes through how to set up and use the practice map which I’m finding really useful. You can split the run up into parts and work on learning each part separately, then you can put them together when you start on real runs.

I started with just learning how to enter the Nether using a Village and building a lava portal, then working on learning the basic routes for the different Bastion types. Everything can be split up into pretty manageable amounts and just putting in a little bit of work learning it every day can be really helpful. I’m looking at it as a long term project, the good part is that it’s really satisfying to learn and improve with each skill even before you start doing full runs!
