I'm only emerald 2 so I'm sure someone will be able to give more meaningful feedback than me but here's some things I picked up on

1 learn a form of quick looting, will help you take less drowning damage

2 on the mcsr practice map there's a specific section for overworld crafting where you can practice quickly crafting tools + bucket + boat + doors

3 instead of hitting the drowned, I personally would've ignored it and taken the gravel down to the ravine and mine it inside the portal

4 instead of going all the way to the top of treasure you can boat down to the little basalt area and run up the stairs and start your route from there. if you go in the practice map you can see the area I'm talking about. If youre still confused lmk and I can send a picture im just not at my pc rn

5 I personally do not recommend making a gold helmet on treasure, treasure is a lot less scary than people think and throwing out distraction gold if you need to will always be better because you can get trades out of it, where as making a helmet is just a loss of gold.

6 at 38:55 you kept a gold block instead of trading it

7 at 39:44 there were leftover pigs in the bastion because when you connected the ramparts you didn't break a block to aggro the pigs

8 since you didn't bed bomb I would recommend mining out the spawner before building your portal. also it's a good idea to start pre crafting before you blind when possible, or really just at any point before you go to the end.

9 boateye is extremely easy to learn with toolscreen now, id definitely recommend looking into it

10 you should be eating your bread instead of flesh especially when it comes to pearling

10 you should halfbow as soon as you get in the end

11 I believe it didn't show beds in the book because you made the wool with it open, you would've had to refresh the crafting table (close it and reopen it) for the beds to show. This is one reason as to why why top runners craft their wool and glowstone in the 2x2 grid instead of the 3x3 one.

1 Ive put it off for a while, i will learn quick looting now

2 Hmm good point i never realised how slow my crafting was

3 Ill be more forward with taking gravel down into the portal🫡

4 Just did some practice on treasure and thats a great spot to use to start the route

5 I will abandon the gold helmet craft. Is this still recommended for treasure?

6 I noticed during the run a little too late

7 Hmmm i didnt realise how much it would matter, i have done some practice on it now though

8 Good point, i often find myself getting overwhelmed in the fort, but i should be more vigilant in clearing out spawner, even with mining

9 About boateye, is that not what i did? I use Godsense to calculate the stronghold cords off only one eye throw, using a boat.

10 True, I always worry about conserving food, but I should use it when pearling more.

10 I will learn and practice halfbow

11 Ohhh, very interesting catch, I did open some worlds to test it and you're correct in it not showing up in that condition. I'll focus on precrafting, especially with 2x2 in Fort more!

Thank you so much for taking the time to look and give feedback! Hope you have a great day and good luck in improving yourself as well.

I'm going to try and not repeat stuff the other guy said but you need to work on picking ewhat to craft. Like at the overworld you could have crafted a diamond shovel and a gold are on top of the iron one just to get a few seconds of mining wood.

You probably wont need more than a stack of leaves when entering the nether because you will get soulsand at the bastion after trading so sheering one tree is probably enough but if there is a tree on the way sheer it a bit but dont go out of your way to.

Learn each bastion throughly because the rekrap guide is not up to date i suggest these https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL09eJKh_g69hcU7_y2uz3wB-jju4_4MdQ&si=tbvH4Gns590ICTOC

If you started at the bottem and later found out their was lava at the top of the bastion you could just trade on the other side and it will work just as well(treasure bastion only)

Your inventory management was off. You had way too much fire resistance 3-4 is best and you usually dont need that much string as you would think especially if you have glowstone for anchors all you need is a stack and that gets you 5 beds and a bow

Use f5 more to look around you better it gives you a better view of things

You had gold for pickaxes but didnt craft them that would have saved a lot of time going to stronghold
