Sure, it took me roughly two months to get the armour and the weapons and the confidence to take on the Ender Dragon the first time, but now it's easy! Once you've beaten that big bad bird one time, you can do it again.
But what about all the other stuff? The crafting, the diamonds, the really difficult bit where you have to throw a bunch of eyes of Ender to find a stronghold? Well, that's all still in the speedrun – it's just faster.
There are a few things you're going to have to practise and get really good at before you attempt a speedrun, of course, like knowing the crafting recipes like the back of your hand, and knowing the tricks to getting certain blocks early. Killing an iron golem, for instance, will guarantee you iron blocks without having to mine around for them, so Couriway recommends resetting the world until you get a spawn point near a village.
After that, it's all about getting obsidian as quickly as possible, popping into the Nether, getting gold, finding a fortress and building a blaze farm. When you have a ton of blaze rods, you'll need to head to a bastion, grab all the gold, and trade with piglins to get more obsidian and Ender pearls. Does all of that sound really, really hard? It is — but practice makes perfect, and every speedrunner practices until they can do it in their sleep.
Finding the Stronghold is relatively easy when you know how the eyes of Ender work, and once you do, it'll only take a handful of them to find it. From there, it's easy – just dash through the stronghold until you find the portal, pop into The End, and blow the dragon up with beds. Simple, right?
Best of luck if you give this a try, and hopefully we'll see you on those speedrunning leader boards some day!
