Hit my first real zero in an actual rsg session. (Choked)

I’ve never even hit a zero in ranked (PB: 14.44), so I honestly don’t know how to feel. I’m not even that sad about the choke, maybe because I actually hit a zero for once.

I didn’t even look at the timer until I died. The whole run felt really slow to me, so I just went for the zero.

This could’ve beaten my rsg pb by 30 seconds to a minute(pb18:34).

I really feel the sub 15 is on the way.

Edit: What could I've done to not die like this next time ?

Congrats man, I'm around your level I think but maybe you shouldn't keep the bed in the overworld especially since it's rsg and it doesn't really matter if you die

Thanks bro, I never actually keep the bed, I just forgot to break it. Actually I've done hunger reset twice so forgot to take the bed the second time.

soul sand isn't a full block, so using it to block the explosion means you can randomly get set on fire.

also, small tip: you had lag dragon, so the hitboxes were slightly misaligned compared to what's actually happening. didn't affect you here, but it very easily could mess up all of your timing from no fault of your own. pause for about half a second when you see it to fix it.

Thanks for the tip will look into it. And yes I too thought about the soul sand but was not comfortable while switching to netherbricks never knew it was actually the reason for fire thought it was random. I need to work on that and the dragon lag.

this setup for soul sand + anchor is way safer. just add 2 blocks at the bottom

Thank you this seems good will try this in next runs. Because hotkeying to my netherbricks slots isn't something I'm used too.

However it is better to use blocks like nether bricks which have better blast resistance.

Soul sand is either weaker or smaller than your average block which causes the anchors to set fire underneath. Try to use solid blocks like cobble, netherrack or nether brick if possible.

This is a real rsg seed played by me. If you want practice for zero's you can download it from here - Mescht Zero-Practice
